Question of faith

Is believing something that isn't explicitly written in a book of faith wrong? I ask because I am wondering about the deeply and ravenously debated topic of evolution. Religion, as I understand it myself, is mostly about faith. If you think about it so is evolution. Evolutionists have faith that the available scientific evidence is valid and supports their theory.

Further I just want to say, I believe in a god and I also believe in evolution. I see no contradiction or conflict of interest between the two.

Just for a moment, reader, I would like you to ponde the vast cosmos. The universe is perhaps far too complex to be be simply a random arrangement of gases and other forms of matter.

As such, I think that there is something behind everything, this is where the connection comes in.

Genesis, the first book of the Bible, doesn't specifically mention how god created all the creatures he created, or the other things we currently find on earth. I mean why would God give out his secrets, but I digress.

The below text is taken from the book of Genesis Chapter 1 20-25 from the King James Version of the Bible.

20And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every
thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Think for a moment, can't God in his great power have created evolution as a means of different faith? Just because it isn't written anywhere, does that mean it can't be possible.

I happen to believe that as long as you believe in something and have faith, that is good, and that should be good enough. Even an atheists believes in something, or has faith if you will. An atheist, as I understand atheism, believes that there is no God. So obviously that too is faith.

Last I just want to say I support all religions and faiths. I have no problems with any belief. I just hope that at some point everyone else will feel the same way.

I don't have a clue

I'm so very tired. It's almost all the time now.
