Evolution doesn't require faith. Faith is confidence or trust in a person, thing, deity, or in the doctrines or teachings of a religion. It is also belief that is not based on proof. - Dictionary.com But theory of evolution. A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of knowledge that has been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. - National Academy of Sciences.
Absolutely. There aren't many scientists today that do not accept the theory of evolution, but yet many, many of them are religious.The group of people 'claiming' that evolution cannot coexist with religion are religious fanatics & evolutionist devotee's. Do not mind them.
No. If one believes in god(s) one has stepped outside the remit of science. Methodological naturalism is the concept science must adhere to in the erection of theory. Supernatural forces can not be supported by the evidence and are not subject to falsification. If you wish to believe in god, do so, but deistic evolution has not one scintilla of evidence to support it.
Contrary to the previous answer that was apparently pulled out of thin air (49%), 25% do not believe in evolution one way or another, while 36% have no opinion on the matter. 39% of Americans believe in evolution, with a majority of them being nonreligious or liberally-leaning.

I understand that he did not believe in God/Jesus even thought he was Jewish. I do not recall reading anything about is beliefs on evolution. Does someone have the answer to this question? Thanks
Evolutionary theory is a scientific theory, and stands separate from any religious belief, just like one does not have to have or lack any particular religious belief in order to accept gravity or general relativity.
Evolution doesn't have to be compatible with Faith. Evolution is a fact. It happened. A person can believe in God while also understanding that evolution is a very real scientific process.
A belief in god or gods is a matter of faith not physical proof. Those that believe do not require it, those that require it do not believe.
A:The evidence for evolution is now indisputable. The only way not to believe in it is to choose not to know about this evidence. So, the question really becomes how a person can believe in the Old Testament. That is a matter of faith.
No, some actually profess faith even despite the truth. That is fine.
In 2008 the United Methodist Church made 3 major statements strongly in favor of Theistic Evolution. Most Methodists would identify with this position saying that evolution in and of itself does not conflict with theology. So yes, The Methodist Church does believe in evolution and is NOT considered to be fundamentalist or creationist.
God requires faith in order for us to believe in Him because faith is a choice that demonstrates our trust and commitment to Him, even when we cannot see or fully understand Him. Faith allows us to have a personal relationship with God and grow spiritually.
You can believe evolution was caused by God and he controls it.
they believe in great faith
He tended to believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible and had a deep faith that the Bible was the true word of God.
I do not ' believe ' in evolution, but I am convinced by the evidence.
Davidheiser has written: 'Evolution and Christian faith' -- subject(s): Bible and evolution, Evolution
"I'm a Christian, and I believe in parents being able to provide children with religious instruction without interference from the state. But I also believe our schools are there to teach worldly knowledge and science. I believe in evolution, and I believe there's a difference between science and faith. That doesn't make faith any less important than science. It just means they're two different things. And I think it's a mistake to try to cloud the teaching of science with theories that frankly don't hold up to scientific inquiry." - Obama "It's not 'faith' if you are absolutely certain," Obama said, noting that he didn't believe his lack of "faith" would hurt him a national election. "Evolution is more grounded in my experience than angels." - http://blogs.physicstoday.org/politics08/2008/01/barack_obama_on_teaching_evolu.html
