I am a novice at this, as I am in all aspects of religion. I have my beliefs which are not founded by in-depth research, nor by what others believe. I say this, because I would not like to be attacked for what I believe. I am sharing my views.
With most aspects of religion, you have so many confilcts because most groups want to draw a definitive line between everything. This is to scare anyone into actually thinking for themselves. You are either Christian or Buddhist, Muslim, Jew, Catholic, Pagan, devil-worshipper, athiest, etc.
The question of Creation vs. Evolution pins certain religious groups between certain scientists (I am being very vague so as not to draw away from my point). I have never heard of anyone trying to find an answer that could possibly involve everything. I mention this because science cannot be denied, as we have proof of it in specific evolutionary chains that we see all the way from single-cells to ourselves, with the only possible doubt being one missing link. I do however believe that there is a higher power that "created" us.
When many people think of the term "created", they think of someone snapping their fingers and it is done. If you consider that "God" is a supreme being, and that our millions of years for him could be seconds, and that he could have created us from a single-cell, as your mother creates a cake from flour, then, it all changes. Please read everything with an open mind and try to understand what exactly I am trying to say before you attack me.
