I was reading theist views about evolution when I thought - How the hell could somebody deny evolution!!? Their view was like so: "HAHA evolution, what a farce. We came from monkeys? I think not!" And it was said by someone I know actually (in RL).
That was a while ago and I haven't really been able to talk to them about it... So I've come here.
How could anybody deny evolution! It isn't a theory. It is a fact, like gravity. Although gravity isn't the greatest analogy since it isn't biological. But you get the idea (and you cannot deny that!). There is hard evidence of evolution. 100%. White Moths in Europe evolved to change colour to have better protection in the soot during the industrial revolution. And animals everywhere, including humans, show other examples.
There is Darwin's Theory of Evolution, which is a theory. But most of it is correct (natural selection) for sure.
But when theists deny evolution, are they denying my former statements, or just the latter??
Evolving from monkeys was one of the said theorys mentioned. Although FYI, the theory doesnt say we evolved from monkeys, but we evolved beside them from some common ancestor (as i remember the theory anyways).
The moth story was an example of micro evolution. So the theist could deny macro evolution right??? WRONG. Macro evolution is just lots of micro evolution... LOTS. So you can't deny macro evolution and then say micro evolution makes sense.
(Some good examples of macro evolution would be bears, they don't go back too far so we have a nice 'bear tree' of the different species.)
Does biblical creation say that evolution can't exist? Some theist calculated that each 'day' of creation was really 7000 years. And according to him, the world was only 50000 years old.
Do you theists believe in dinosaurs?
Back to creation though, I think that people needing to believe that somebody had to design the universe is pretty weak.. You HAVE to explain everything?? (the bible says the earth is flat)
I think the big bang theory is pretty good, its only a theory, however. And maybe we don't really need to know how the universe was created. It's probably something our human brains can't comprehend.

So, the main question is, what do any of you theists believe about evolution? (Only talk about creation if you must!)
Edit:
I quickly skimmed over what I just wrote, and found a bunch of grammer errors.. specifically conjugations and particles.. Exuse me, but I'm tired.
