PLS HELP GIVE UR THINKING EASYYY 25 POINTSS Can a person believe in God and still accept Evolution? Why or why not

Yes... Although most U.S. Catholics accept the idea of evolution in some form, a substantial percentage of American adults reject the scientific explanation for the origins of human life, and a number of religious groups in the U.S. maintain that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection is not correct because it conflicts with their views of creation.

Explanation:

I see no conflict in what the Bible tells me about God and what science tells me about nature. Like St. Augustine in

A.D. 400, I do not find the wording of Genesis 1 and 2 to suggest a scientific textbook but a powerful and poetic

description of God's intentions in creating the universe. The mechanism of creation is left unspecified. If God, who is

all powerful and who is not limited by space and time, chose to use the mechanism of evolution to create you and

me, who are we to say that wasn't an absolutely elegant plan? And if God has now given us the intelligence and the

opportunity to discover his methods, that is something to celebrate.

I lead the Human Genome Project, which has now revealed all of the 3 billion letters of our own DNA instruction book.

I am also a Christian. For me scientific discovery is also an occasion of worship.

Nearly all working biologists accept that the principles of variation and natural selection explain how multiple species

evolved from a common ancestor over very long periods of time. I find no compelling examples that this process is

insufficient to explain the rich variety of life forms present on this planet. While no one could claim yet to have ferreted

out every detail of how evolution works, I do not see any significant "gaps" in the progressive development of life's

complex structures that would require divine intervention. In any case, efforts to insert God into the gaps of

contemporary human understanding of nature have not fared well in the past, and we should be careful not to do that

Explanation:

i will have to go with 1.

hope this !
