However, I prefer to define it as a belief that the world was created by God. Under that definition, you can both accept evolution and be a Creationist. I believe that God created the universe and all the marvels therein. I also believe that he *guided* evolution (even if it appears random to us) to its current form and into the future.<BR/><BR/>The WolfBrooklynWolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994285019137108636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-53586899070326892902007-11-01T09:16:00.000-04:002007-11-01T09:16:00.000-04:00Happy belated Birthday, Wolf.If you accept evoluti...Happy belated Birthday, Wolf.<BR/><BR/>If you accept evolution, doesn't that preclude being a Creationist?<BR/><BR/>What are you going back to college to study?Jeff Eygeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967707883565162538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-75659494995747690372007-10-31T21:53:00.000-04:002007-10-31T21:53:00.000-04:00Sorry, meant to comment a couple days ago... but w...Sorry, meant to comment a couple days ago... but what a great post. <BR/><BR/>A couple people have said recently to me that "Ezzie!
