evolution vs. i.d.

ok, so i am watching 17 kids and counting and they went to a creation museum and the dad was talking about how evolution DID NOT happen...and i sort of agree, like don't get me wrong, i totally believe that GOD created us, GOD created everything, but i also do believe that there is some evolution things change and evolve according to nature and according to surroundings...like i totally believe in the Creation story of Genesis and I totally agree with that, but as humans, we have evolved we have changed, Darwin's theory of evolution...that we must evolve to survive, i do agree with that. i don't agree with a lot of the beliefs of fundamentalists, or staunch believers...God put us here to take care of his creation, take care of his earth, he gave us freedom, he gave us choice--but with that choice come consequences and with these choices come sin and non-sin, there's nothing more to it, as a free person, that God created, we have the choice everyday to sin or not-sin...i do believe that God has a plan for each of us, i do believe that God knows what will happen, i do believe that we "fall short of the glory of God" but i also believe that we grow from these falls, we are picked up by God, we are still his CHILDREN...i don't agree with the staunch believers that take every word of the Bible as literal directions today, i don't believe that is how God wanted his Children to work, because how can you be His hands and feet when you do not experience the world...how can you be a witness to the tax collectors and lepers without living among them...

ok, i am sorry about this post...i just wanted to get that off my chest and if you don't agree then tell me, i know that not everyone is going to agree...but anyways, oh, and sorry that it's kind of random...
love.
