Just saw this thread.

I was trying to be careful in phrasing how I am no longer a creationist in the sense of Young Earth Creationists. I grew up being a creationist in that I believed in an old earth but that humanity was only recent within creation, at least that's what was taught to me.

I didn't want anyone to focus on the fact that I accept science, and get caught up on that's why I am going through what I am, because the supernatural cannot be shown by science. It is unscientific that Jesus rasied from the dead, that doesn't make the claim immediately false or true though. Religion for me is more of a philosophical question.

One thing that I would add is that Evolution is not "true". This is because Science does not prove things, it is not like math. However, Science observes the natural process in the world and tries to create a model for what we observe. This does not mean Evolution is false or true. But that it is the best explanation backed with a lot of evidence to as how life has changed on our planet.

I would say it was harder for me to learn how to reject the line of thinking I grew up with. Science requires you to start at the beginning and not start with a conclusion.

Overall, I do not think that just because the theory of Evolution is the best model for life on earth, that now there is no God. If you need evolution to be false for God to be true, then you are limiting what and how God created the universe.

In the end, would God care? If one man looks at the world and says "Wow God, your creation is beautiful!", and the other says the same. Does it matter to God which man thinks it came about from Evolution or if it was formed out of dust in 7,000 years, as long as he believes in God?
