One is based on evidence and the other on faith. They might not contradict each other ALL THE TIME. But the basic premises are totally different and contradictory. To connect these two, is a futile exercise, in my (not so humble) opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859094080858570248.post-82231137920372265322009-07-17T03:56:27.442+05:302009-07-17T03:56:27.442+05:30There is a hypothesis which provides a compromise ...There is a hypothesis which provides a compromise between the theory of Evolution and all the world religions.With this hypothesis, it is necessary to understand the progression of design evidenced by Evoltion , alongside a broad understanding, of all the world religions.Instead of the progression of design understandably presumed, in Darwin's time to be nature, replaced by progression of design by very advanced science.If our scientists can artificially create life, through the synthesis of DNA, then why should there not be other more advanced scientists in other parts of the galaxy.Through understanding this hypothesis, we can understand why those scientists so long ago, were mistaken for Gods by our ancestors, and why as yet, they do not choose to reveal themselves.Benhttp://www.1945-666.comnoreply@blogger.com
