I believe God had a hand in evolution :)

Catholic girl chiming in! Sorry your friend bugs you so much. I guess there are people out there who are terrified that anything not stated in the Bible is going against God...or something. It bugs me, too. (TBH, I'm just as bothered by people who will constantly argue that God doesn't exist and how can anyone believe in a fairy tale? I just smile and say "that's why we call it faith, my friend.")

I do believe in God and I also believe in evolution. I believe in Creation and I believe in the Big Bang. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Maybe the Word was the Big Bang, and the Genesis story covers not just the Earth, but the universe. Stars go supernova and their dust spews out into the universe. That dust becomes new stars and new planets. Also, God made man out of DUST, right? Right! So there you go. Ashes to ashes, space dust to space dust. :)

I try not to take the Bible totally literally; if it was written today it would be written very differently than it was at the time. We write what we know and the people back then didn't know the things we know today. That's why I don't always take everything it says literally. Still, I also believe in the mysteries and miracles written about-- especially God manifesting Himself through Jesus to take on our sins and save us through the Resurrection. I believe there are things in life that can't be explained purely by science and vise versa.

I believe our existence is humanity going to school, and the new discoveries we make are how we advance to the next grade level. I say that because it seems ten more questions come up for every new answer we uncover about our existence.

I see it as God saying, "Awesome! You got that, now here's your next assignment. Let's see you figure THIS out. Good luck, kids!"
