There has already been a thread started to discuss specific evidences for/against 2 theories of the origin of life.
I wanted to aproach this topic from a slightly different angle. And my arguments are mainly targeted to a Christian audience, although a belief in any kind of a good higher being might suffice. I will not be presenting any scientific evidence because of my belief that science is limited and can be manipulated for ulterior motives. Anyway, there has already been a thread dedicated to that so you can go read that one if you are so inclined.
So here we go. If you are a Christian and you also believe in Evolution, how do you harmonize Evolution with your idea of:
1. a good God;
2. an honest God;
3. the sanctity of human life above other life forms;
3. the doctrine of sin and the fall;
4. the redemption we find through a Savior.
For I submit that you cannot
1. believe in a good God if he created death, disease, and bloodshed from the beginning;
2. believe in an honest God since he didn't really tell us in a forthright manner what exactly he did;
3. believe that a human life is any more valuable than a chrysanthemum's life;
4. believe in sin or the fall since there wasn't a real Adam and Eve;
5. believe that Jesus died for our sins because there wasn't any sin in the first place.
