The bible was NEVER the literal or absolute truth, at least that is how the Orthodox Church takes it..
And yes, there are countless GAPS in the theory of evolution, fundamentally the theory has no proof that it actually happened that way at all.. after all, while I accept DNA evidence and the fossil record, this is by no means a smoking gun.. after all, who measures DNA? Scientists (ahem, can we said BIAS?)
and after all, how the fuck do we ACTUALLY know what fossils are, we are truly just accepting them as remains as much an act of faith as taking the Eucharist.
The reality is that human beings do no know shit, we are just really fabulous story tellers, and evolution is the great story we tell in this era, just as creation myths before them, and just like religion of old, we all believe these stories because they sound so nice when we tell them, but truthfully, nearly ALL of the evidences is circumstantial to the bias of the observers..
People today believe in evolution with as much passion and faith as the people of old believed Creation stories, but in the end, as much as NOBODY EVER WANTS TO ADMIT, this theory is as much a matter of belief and faith as ANY other story ever told about the Universe.. Evolution is merely the religion, the faith, of the modern era, but it can never be a proven fact, because of the limits of human understanding..
I do not accept ANY absolutes, these cause too much division.
