The truth is that God really did create the Earth and everthing in it in 6 days, and on the 7th day, he rested. Simply reading Genesis 1 and 2, (preferably in the New Living Translation) will give you an overview of what Christians and millions more belive.

Not all Christians believe this.

Anyway, the truth actually is that the Earth and all life on it, including us, came about as a result of entirely natural processes without the intervention of gods, which may or may not exist.

Ok, now that we're done making empty assertions, do you want to actually present evidence for your view? Cuz there's plenty for mine.

Also by what mechanism do you determine the "best" bible translation? I prefer the KJV, but my church is all up into the NIV...

Re: Half of these respondents are Evos

But the forum's biggest battles always seem waged by evangelical-YECs vs. atheistic-Evos.

This is almost certainly because these two positions are the least alike. They represent the most dramatic conflict between two ways of approaching the acquisition of information about reality.

Re: Half of these respondents are Evos

Andya, genetic variance vs. (raw) mutations has been taken up in heated debates elsewhere and won't be discussed here.

So far the arguments are leaning heavily in favor of the view that mutation can result in beneficial effects to an organism. Unless you have something to add? If so why don't you jump in to PhospholipidGen's topic "The Nature of Mutations". Without PPG to argue with we're talking to ourselves. Maybe you'd like to take up his banner?
