Believing vs. Knowing: Faith's Role in the Evolution Debate Belief in evolution does not preclude belief in God. But belief is the key word. Fully understanding the concept of belief is fundamental to arguments for keeping creationism and its clever smokescreen, intelligent design, out of the science classrooms of all of our schools, not just the public ones. |
