I'm normally not once to post a me-too, but this is kind of a poll anyway. I hope no one is hoping for a definitive answer on cosmological questions here at the cellar.

Anyway, I believe in the existence of God ( but don't insist that you do and don't insist that my way is the only way to worship God).

I also believe that evolution is real.

For what it's worth, I went to Seattle Pacific University when I went back to get my CS degree. SPU is a methodist university and you have to take one Bible course to graduate. I took Old Testament (NT was already full). It turned out to be a good choice. The instructor was very knowledgeable and entertaining as well.

The instructor said it was obvious to all bible researchers that the Bible was not the literal word of god. His response to all questions along this line was "These books are in the Bible because they are useful for instruction."
