I know 'belief' can be used a variety of ways, but given how it's typically used (especially around here), I don't believe in it. I accept it.

Evolution doesn't require any kind of faith, unless you're trying to use it to explain things it doesn't actually explain.

Evolution is the correct scientific explanation of our observations, since the universe was created with the appearance of age and looks just as it would if evolution had occured. However, it didn't actually occur, since God simply created the universe in an advanced state.

Some may claim that this is deception on God's part, but we don't hear them saying God deceived us by created Adam and Eve as adults and not infants. Why not? It's the same thing.

Evolution has way too many flaws, Darwin himself rejected it, because he realized it wasn't real/ true. Neither do I.
Scientists use evolution to reject Gods hand in any part of the creation of earth.
Evolution is wrong.

Actually, that's not true. It's a mere rumor with no evidence. Darwin possibly was a confessed Christian at his death but there is no evidence that he rejected his theory (from any reliable source that is).

Charles Darwin became a Christian on his deathbed and renounced evolution-Fiction!

Scientists use evolution to reject Gods hand in any part of the creation of earth.
Evolution is wrong.
Just because it may be used in the wrong way does not mean that it is wrong. There are also Christians who consider evolution to be part of God's creation plan :)

No to evolution, no to creation science.

If science wants to demonstrate something real, scientists better get out of the false duality and start finding alternatives.

Doesnt God give us a clear understanding on how he made the heavens and the earth? In creation where you do you find evolution? God spoke and it was so, brethen let us reason togather Isaiah 1:18"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."

God created a living universe... unimaginably complicated and perfectly harmonious. A world that changes.

The Bible isn't wrong. If there ever appears to be a contradiction or conflict, the flaw can only be with our understanding and interpretation. If there is a issue between what we know of the world and what we believe based on our own interpretation of the Bible, neither faith nor knowledge should be abandoned. We must be humble and reconsider our interpretations. He is not the author of confusion.

Why would he bother with that sort of thing?
Who knows, could be all sorts of reasons. His ways are not our ways, nor are His thoughts our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). His ways are unsearchable, and His judgments are past finding out (Romans 11:33). Therefore we should trust Him and not rely on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5).

Maybe He wanted a universe like the one we have now but didn't want to wait around 14 billion years for the good part.
