My view (which I think is shared by evolutionary biologists) is that lots and lots of Micro-evolution (which many here seem to ascribe to) leads to Macro-evolution. A new species forms out of the infinite miniscule changes in a previous species.
There are some here who say there is not enough time - I think (having studied this fairly extensively at Uni and kept up with it afterwards as best I can) that we might say that 2.5. or 4.6 billion years is not enough - but tbh we have no idea what a length of time we are talking about when we get down to it.
I'm a Christian - and I mean a serious go-to-church-every-week-and-housegroup-on-thursdays planning-to-go-abroad-to work-with-the-destitute-poor type of Christian.
But I am also a trained Geography/Geology graduate and a teacher.
I see no disconnect between the cultic myth of how the world was made (in Genesis - using the true meanings of both Cultic and Mythic) and the evolutionary method.
One explains to the people of several thousand years ago how it happens. One is relevant today.
There is a real problem here on this thread with the semantic meaning of the word "Theory". In scientific terms, it pretty much means something we can rely on. Some biologists are now using the term "Axiom" rather than "theory" as it means something we know to be true. I have no bother with that.
If my children were ever expected to listen to the "controversy" about evolution vs intelligent design/creation in a science class I would be appealing to withdraw them on religious grounds. In a religion class, no problem. But they willl not be exposed to inferior religious crap with no scientific basis in a science class if I have anything to do with it.
My BIL was involved last year in producing a tremendously damaging film about the need to "teach the controversy" in the US. I have looked into it in a LOT of detail. While there may be a religious reason to do so, there is no scientific reason.
But over all, I think this is a bit of a red herring. I believe the big bang was God saying "let there be light". I think it was far more amazing for Him to produce a living, breathing, changing, evolving universe than a fixed, static one that He occasionally stuck a new species into.
Just my 2p. But a fairly well and extensively thought through one!
