Does Evolution Require Atheism? Options

[Tung]

Well does it? Most religious people and hardcore scientists today are often incline to believe that atheism and evolution are rigorously intertwined. According to the majority (us), we are thought to believe that if one is to accept evolution as the explanation for life on Earth, it usually leads that person to become an atheist.

The problem I have with this assumption is that I don’t agree with it. Contrary to popular belief, evolution actually doesn’t explain anything about the origins of the universe, the world, or life in general. You can say Evolution is more of an explanation on the development of life.

I personally believe a person can accept evolution as an explanation for the advancement of life, and the diversity, while still being able to believe that the Earth and life were first caused by God. Therefore, there’s no reason why a person can’t be a theist and at the same time accept the theory of evolution.

But for all we know, it could still be 7 literal days.

In a literal sense it could be yes.

Sorry from before... I was in Samuel L. Jackson mode.

Jesus f**k. Of course it's 7 literal days! When it was written, the man who wrote it said 7 days. Seven days means seven days, don't cherrypick or make stuff up to justify anyone's faith in this bullshit.
