I would hope this would be an antiquated argument.

Why do we have to focus on the Bible as being literal truth? Is anything more metaphorical than Genesis?

I'm not sure why someone mentioned Scientology in this thread... L. Ron Hubbard isn't exactly the world's most reknowned expert on evolution.

Anyway... here's what we know: There is evidence that mutations have occurred over time by looking at fossil records. By looking at birds on different islands in the Galapagos Islands there is evidence that mutations have occurred to create several closely related species with different advantageous traits to help them eat in their environments.

Darwin obviously wasn't right about everything - he's sexist and racist. However, there is evidence to support that some of his basic ideas hold some water. It is a theory certainly, and people are continuing to try to test it out. So I don't accept it as a absolute fact, but I certainly can't accept Creationism when the story that it is based on is so obviously metaphorical.
