[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2695575, member: 18914"] Well, you are really talking about the creation/start of the universe not the evolution of life on Earth per se. But I do agree that astronomers and cosmologists run into a logical problem when they go all the way back to the beginning, i.e. what is the "prime cause"? I am not as certain about the physical evolution of life on Earth. There seems to be a lot of good evidence that makes me think a literal interpretation of Genesis is not the best way to approach it. On the other hand, we never will "truly" know because it is not the kind of thing that can be demonstrated like say a theory of how nuclear fusion can produce a rapid release of energy. Yet, the desire for some folks (and not only the religious ones, not by a long shot) to have everyone genuflect before their understanding of truth will no doubt cause many fights over this. [/QUOTE]
