Very well-thought out posts.
"But I think this theory can help us even more. If everybody believed in it, it would certainly change most people's perspective of themselves in this world. I'm sure most would come to the conclusion that I have: We belong to this world, this world does not belong to us like religion would have you belive. Maybe if most people felt like this, we wouldn't have all the environmental problems we have now. The U.S. certainly wouldn't have any problems with the middle east since religion would be irrelevant."
Okay, how could evolution change perspective? It is not designed to do that. I am not sure where you are standing in the paragraph. It is merely speculation off a theory. It is an interesting speculation no doubt. I did like it.
Yes, evolution has completely revolutionized biology. I would hate to think of what biology or modern medicine would be like without the theory of evolution. I shudder at the thought.
Keep posting.

Okay, do not mix the Magesterium of Science and the Magesterium of Relgion in one Magesteria.
First of all, Science does not deny nor prove the existence of a Creator. To have a creation, you have to have a Creator. Science is merely concerend with the natural world and asking questions and getting answers based off tests. Religion is based off of supernatural questions and the way to arrive at answers. You cannot mix two methods of learning into one method of learning, it does not work.
I am very open minded. And I listen to both sides in this debate, even though I think I have made it clear that I am an evolutionist. You do have great points, and I mention them. But you cannot mix Science and Religion together. I am not saying they are in conflict with eachother, but you cannot mix the methods of learning in both the different fields into one method.
And is it really common sense, to take something completly on faith even though you are questioning about it? ex. creationism [Obviously I am in the Magesterium of Religion now, for the purpose of this question.] To me that is not common sense. To me common sense is seeing evidence. And much of that scientific evidence supports evolution, it can be taken either way sometimes to the easy convience of one side.
