I don't need to believe in Evolution. Evolution is happening all around us as anyone with eyes (thanks for those Evolution) can see.
C'mon, tell us which one of the characters in your Avatar is you, please.

Do you deny that evolution is happening?
Even the Bible speaks of a form of evolution in Genesis - "the earth brought forth all sorts of plants and trees and fruit...etc.
Only a fool would deny the evidence of certain aspects of evolution.
C'mon now, which one in your Avatar picture is you?

That's about abiogenesis not evolution and also doesn't provide anything other than conjecture that they 'think' abiogenesis may be wrong. They don't provide any evidence for a competing theory.
Originally posted by sword4damoclesThe question of belief does not come into evolution.
Believe in evolution?
That's like saying 'believe in God?'
Evolution IS a belief system for if it were not the question of 'belief' would not come into the arena.
As many as can debate their believe in evolution, is as many prefessing their belief in God.

Then WHY does anyone who poses the question say "do you BELIEVE"?
University professors and all others which I've EVER spoken with concerning evolution espresses as follows - "Of course I BELIEVE in evolution".
All educated people admit that evolution is not proved in its entirety.
No truely educated person could express their opinion regardi ...[text shortened]...
Evolution IS therefore, even with all of its scientific evidence, a BELIEF system.
Basically the scientists defintion of the word "belief" is different from the theists. A theist believes without evidence. When a scientist says "I believe xyz" he's basically saying, "According to all the evidence, from a huge number of studies, by a vast number of independant investigators, this is the best model for system xyz".
