Why is it so necessary that the truth be one or the other?  Isn't it
possible that evolution is simply the tool that God used to create
this world the way [it is, HE/SHE wanted it (pick one)]?

The thing I find so disturbing about this issue is that people are so
ready to create barriers between themselves and others.  Isn't one
prime tenet of Christianity that we are all children of a God who
loves us?  Doesn't that imply that we should take down barriers to
oneness and togetherness wherever we find them?
