gideongallery is spot on.

Mircroevolution and natural selection for all intents and purposes clearly exist, yet they're not at odds with Creationism because evolution does not concern itself with how the universe originated. One doesn't have to believe in creationism to acknowledge this. I'm not a bible thumper, but I can accept that there are current limitations to our understanding of the universe. Even if we accept the big bang with all its statistical improbabilities and the improbabilities thereafter which extrapolate that life has further evolved from simple organisms into complex species, at the end of the day, it still doesn't answer why or how the process got started or why the materials for it exist to begin with.

So, it's possible and perfectly legitimate for somebody to believe in both Evolution Theory and Creationism, or one, or neither. This doesn't automatically mean that the person is uneducated. It is funny though seeing those on their high horse thinking they have a monopoly on knowledge of the universe, lol. The stats support what I'm saying:

"Those who believe in evolution, whether guided by God or not, overwhelmingly think it is possible to believe in both God and evolution ? 90 percent say this."

Evolution -> theory with evidence to support it
Creationism -> belief that accounts for those things which evolution does not explain.

These can run concurrent.
