most Christian denominations don't believe that there was a "worldwide" flood
I'm a southern baptist and I can tell you that any denomination that rejects the worldwide flood are not in line Biblical orthodoxy and are flat out wrong...as for those geologists, has anyone since re-examined the evidence, a lot changes in 200 years...
Can you disprove that the world was created Wednesday, and that all of our memories of the past, etc were also created? You can't.
This is a rather absurd comment, it deals with what we fundamentally percieve as reality, my guide book tells me the earth was completed 4000 years ago, I refer to Dr. Gerald L. Schroeder for one potential explanation of the days prior to completion....But if the world was created wednesday and all our memories also created then I ask who's God did that one..?
No evolution is not a "faith" in the religious sense. The theory of evolution explains the evidence, and makes predictions. Just like any scientific theory. It also is the foundation of biology.
Evolution fails to explain the cambrian explosion, how dinosaurs made the leap to birds, how small mammals became mammoths. It fails to explain, scientifically, the transition periods between species. There are no clear transitional forms and without those evolution can not stand real scientific scrutiny because evolution is supposed to explain those transitions which we have yet to come across.
Why is it that my child has to learn about an ill-proven at an age where they aren't making the distinction between theory and hard scientific fact....teach them the fundamentals first and save the theories until they can make an accurate discernment...and always teach it as theory....

Nice well thought out post.
The chance to discuss and discover how the world works and the best way to live in it are great as far as I'm concerned. People believe different things and that's the way it will always be. The "theory" part of evolution is not stated as heavily as it should be in public schools. The "fact" is mandated to students because no alternates are taught alongside. It's illegal to teach anything that contradicts with Evolution and I'm not just talking about Creation here (research this if you are interested).
Yes, my Bible is an English translation. Does that mean that I read verses and believe what the translation means? No. As you know, the English language is not as descriptive as Hebrew. I (and you I imagine) cannot read Hebrew, so I personally learn the correct meaning and context of verses from someone who can read the text. Do I just roll over and believe everything they tell me? Not right away. I continually scrutinize everything I hear and match the logic with the truths I already know.
What do the majority of people do when they hear about the theory of evolution? They have nothing to compare it to and accept it as fact. It's a shame.
