Aack. There is no conflict between the Bible and evolution, an opinion that I share with many, many Christians. As the years go by, I'm more and more astonished by the silliness of the idea that Darwin somehow eliminated the possibility of a creator. Evolution is a fine explanation of how creation takes place, as far as I'm concerned. I believe the mechanisms of evolution are quite a bit more complex than most people imagine, which conflicts with the "selfish gene" metaphor, but I find it's difficult to even discuss those issues, especially when people find out I'm Christian and leap to the conclusion that I'm trying to disprove evolution. It's really only a minority that believes wacko ideas such as dinosaur bones being a trick of the devil. But we live in a time when the more wacky an idea is, the more media attention it gets.
