Creation vs. Evolution? How about both?

As the argument continutes, a motivational speaker chimes in with:

The simple fact is that creation and evolution are not in conflict at all. Indeed, they are partners, not opposition forces. Anyone with a serious understanding of the Bible knows that God created evolution as the process for creation.

Eugenie Scott, of the National Center for Science Education, likes to ask which is more impressive, a pool player who sinks every single shot, or one who clears the table with the break shot.

And indeed, to insist that God built the world in some specific way that rules out the findings of science, and that the scientists are all wrong, is to fall into sin.

It is impossible for the Bible to be in conflict with truth. There is a well known Talmudic passage which states, "Chatimato Shell Hakadosh Baruch Hu Emet--The Signature of God is Truth." Only a fool on the right or left, or an ACLU lawyer can view creationism and evolution as opposites. Any religious person who denies the true age of the earth or facts of science is breaking the Third Commandment, by taking the Lord's name in vain and embarrassing God.

Amazingly enough, most people don't know that's what the commandment means. Breaking the commandment means one has made God look stupid and petty. And there are enormous numbers of people doing this in God's name.
