Gods creation is the object science tries to explore and know about. He was the spirit verses equivlent of the big bang. He believes in evolution. And I have to agree with God, evolution is real.

Not all Christians are creationists.

I had extra spinal mass at the end of my tail bone, but they cut it out. It is hereditary. My uncle, and Aunt, from opposite sides of the family, both had it.

Geez, listening to these Bible Belt cretins, you'd think being a Christian and believing in evolution are incompatible!

Christianity and science do not have to be mutually exclusive. It is so unfortunate that so many people claiming to be Christians refuse to accept that so publicly.

This is where I can understand creationists, because to do this do you not have to (as it were) re-emphasise the Old Testament from being the word of god, to a collection of analogous tales. If this is the case what relevance does the OT actually have, it is demonstrably wrong scientifically and it is, (from my perspective at least) most certainly unethical and morally bankrupt.

^Agreed. But there are plenty of Christians who do not believe the Bible should be taken literally at all, which is the position that the vast majority of Christian scientists.
