Since evolution doesn't even touch on the subject of the Origin of Life shouldn't atheists just let it go?

Evolution requires huge, almost unimaginable quantities of time for it to 'work' to the degree that evolutionists would like to think has resulted in the explosion of varied life-forms on Earth. Most evolutionists don't want God to come into the equation, so they work hard at trying to use this theory to exclude God. They DO claim that evolution accounts for the origin of life; that, given the elements that came to be on planet Earth, and the coincidence of just the right conditions for life to start up, that it inevitably did start and then those vast billions of years saw single celled life develop into more complex forms and so on.

But it is the Big Bang theory that cannot account for life, and virtually all evolutionists accept this scientific theory also. Again, billions of years are claimed for the eventual formation of stars and planets and all the elements necessary for life. Yet scientists admit that the split second before a tiny, condensed atom expanded is "a singularity" where the known laws of physics do not apply - because time could not exist prior to then!

I do agree with you that there need not be any conflict with scientific theories and the Bible. God could have caused the Big Bang and it could have been His plan, once He'd created time, to allow all the time in the universe for things to develop as they did. Yet He remains the Source, the Originator, the Creator, the One who has life in Himself and who has created all other life.

The Bible does make it clear, however, that God directly created humanity in His image, according to His likeness, so there can be no evolution from ape-like creatures into man. God could have created everything in an instant, as you point out. But if He chose to create time and to bring life about within aeons of time, that's His prerogative also!

Only those who insist that the six biblical 'days' of creation were literal, 24-hour-Earth-days have a problem with evolutionary concepts and the Big Bang theory. I dont' know about your last paragraph; it's interesting but I won't go into that and just leave my answer dealing strictly with your question.

Pope John Paul was a great believer in the theory of evolution. So if the man at the head of the biggest religion in the world has not problems with it, or indeed actively supported it then there is no conflict. A defensive person with a atheist mindset would find this concept threatening as he'd/she'd would not see any 'consistency' in that position.

I however do as I am rational.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
