...yes, of course, Abraham Lincoln--but it is also the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin (coincidence?). CNN today reported that fewer than 50 percent of Americans surveyed thought that the theory of evolution was factual. Of course, as they also reported, most of the people who didn't think it was true (or factual) were, well, to put it bluntly, ignorant--as in having lower levels of education than those who accepted it.
Most of those who refute it use--also, of course--the Bible as their basis to do so, saying humans were created in God's image. One caller from Kentucky (again, surprise, surprise) said something to the effect that "God doesn't look like a monkey...." My immediate thought to that was, "How the hell does she know? Has she actually seen God? And if God is all powerful, can't He make Himself in any image He so desires?"
My thought is this--yes, we were created by God...but I don't believe it was in full form as we are now. I believe God started the universe off, and things have happened as they should, including the creation of Earth and the evolution of all life on it.
