Creation vs. evolution? Oh, boy... Assuming that was serious suggestion, here goes.

I take a compromise position that will probably satisfy no one. I believe with my heart that God created me and knows me, but I don't believe that the world was created in a literal six days. I've always felt that evolution was and is the tool of a clever God, who didn't want it to be too easy for us to believe in Him. One cannot prove the existence of God logically, after all... where is the Mystery, then?

Was my literal biologic ancestor an ape-like creature? Current research certainly is consistent with that. Am I still created in the image of God? You betcha.

This has interesting implications for education, to say the least. I like to see kids given the chance to study the evidence, then make up their own minds. Scientific questioning should begin in youth.
