Earlier you stated that if you had sufficient space you would explain how you reconcile the theory of evolution with the doctrine of Scripture. You may not be able to do that in one post, but - and only if you are willing to do this, of course - perhaps you can explain it in a series of posts, i.e. Part 1, 2, 3, etc.

Even though we may not agree on everything, I'm impressed with the way you've conducted yourself on this thread. You've managed to maintain your composure where most would resort to banal, crude pedantry.

As for everyone else, I've two questions: first, what are the qualifications for being a Christian? If there is more than merely trusting in Christ for salvation, what would that be? Secondly, how many of you have the scientific background Bravo has in order to speak authoritatively on the subject at hand? When he's talking about genes and chromosomes, do you really understand what he's saying?

While I don't claim to have exhaustive knowledge about the subject, evolution - at least for now - appears to best explain what's been observed. However, science is in and of itself an open-ended discipline. New facts will be discovered in the future that may falsify the entire theory altogether (and for evolution to be scientific, it must be falsifiable).
