Is evolution just a "theory"?

Exactly many evolutionists are religious, the scientists are not making the war Religion v evolution the creationists are.
God maybe made the rules and let them ride..

Ok just to clarify i've said I'm not a creationist and I'm not an evolutionist but I have a question for all of you no matter what you believe.. My whole life i have been thinking about this. What was the beginning of everything? If you believe in creation what was the creator doing before the creation? And I'm not familIar with the theory of evolution but is the Big Bang the beginning? What was before the Big Bang? Nothing? How can something come from nothing? It gives me a headache to think about...

. Maybe..I don't see how it couldn't be like that. In all honesty creation doesn't make sense to me and evolution doesn't make much sense either. But If I had to pick a side, I would be chilling with the evolutionists.

Yup evolution does not refute/or agree with the existence of god. God could have started it..now here comes the add on question, how do you know a "god" exist? God is a totally different discussion.

Evolution simply explains changing of species. Many scientist are religious and many believe in evolution.

I am not really religious and I'm not an evolutionist but I don't see why evolution can't somehow be made possible by a god. A god could've made it possible. Definitely not saying I believe this but why can't it be?

If by evolution you mean change at the micro level, which means natural selection or adaptation to a particular environment through the selection of the genetic traits that were already present to begin with (also called gene reshuffling), then I can accept God being responsible for it. This process is the sole example pointed out by evolutionists as proof that the princess and the frog is scientific fact, or macroevolution, the idea that one creature can magically, whether gradually or quickly, change into an entirely different species, yet the entire process leads to a loss of genetic information, not an addition. The Bible teaches that all life was created at the same time after their kind and after their own flesh, one for humans, one for the beasts of the field, fish, birds, and then you celestial flesh. According to the evolution that is taught in acedemia, all flesh is the same arriving about from a single cell organism or from a more simplistic common ancestor, yet there is not one iota of proof for it, and there is nothing "simplistic" about microbes as originally proposed by Darwin and taught in schools for decades. Microbes are far more complex than any machine we can possibly build, meaning they were irreducibly complex from the beginning.

The title of Bergman's presentation is "Slaughter of the Dissidents," which is the title of a recent one of his books. In the book, Dr. Bergman exposes viewpoint discrimination, which is directed at those in academia who are Darwin Doubters or Darwin Skeptics. Several case studies are offered which document the stories of victims, who are routinely denied the treatment and benefits afforded to their colleagues; educators are denied tenure, students are denied degrees, and scientists are denied the opportunity to conduct scientific experiments or publish their findings in many mainline peer reviewed science journals. Many other tactics are also employed to ensure that the credibility, careers, and influence of these people is thoroughly destroyed.

Really? A 26 minute YouTube video without commentary?

How many people do you think are going to watch that? Two?

Could YHVH created using evolution? Yes, easily. But that's not what the Torah says he did. So to a christian or jew it comes down to trusting in his word.

If he said he created with evolution i'd be fine, but it's not what God said he did. Other than that, I couldn't care less because we are here and salvation is offered and that is what matters.
