Again, I strongly advise you to reevaluate your opinion on the matter. Evolution is a basic fact of nature, as obvious as cellular biology and biochemistry. In fact, it's necessary for understanding anything in Biology, since nothing makes sense without it. Thermodynamics, furthermore, have nothing to do with it. The subject of thermodynamics is so complex, I doubt either of us has any understanding of it whatsoever.
In response to others, please reconsider how you pit scientific knowledge and biblical theology against one another. If you read genesis understanding the deeper meaning behind it, and not just the blatantly obvious, it says more about who we are as humans than it does our origins.
We came form dust, as in, we are made of the same elements as the rest of the natural world.
We cam from Adam and Eve, as in, we all share common ancestors.
We have dominion over other creatures, as in we are the only species to have society and civilization. Yet, we diminish our dominion through sin (the forbidden fruit) which is what causes us to take advantage of our dominion and lose respect for the natural world.
I see so much more to Genesis than the pointless dribble most preach from it. To me, it is one of the greatest narratives to explain the state of man in God's eyes and our basic nature as people. To understand what we have lost and how we must regain it.
But maybe I'm just babbling on. Not only does the Biblical argument of evolution go against the natural evidence, but it harms the greater meaning of the Bible. Do we really want to make the Bible so earthly that we treat it as a textbook, or do we want to keep it as our spiritual guide?
