Actually if I think I'm understanding Andre correctly, he's asking why the seemingly contradictory theories of creation vs evolution can't coexist as the different sides of the same coin.

Well, the answer to that is if you just believe in an idea of God as a creator then it's no problem, God could be responsible for creation, and he could have started it all off through evolution.

However, if you believe in the Abrahamic God of the Christians, Muslims and Jews then the two viewpoints are diametrically opposed.

The Torah, Koran and New Testament all make it clear that death and suffering came into the world only as a consequence of Adam's sin and that prior to that no 'entropy' for want of a better word existed.

Evolution states that chaos, destruction and death were the very elements that combined to form the world as we see it today, a viewpoint completely incompatible with the Biblical and Islamic concepts of God.

The most prominent athiests like Richard Dawkins understand this better than most Christians and Muslims sadly.

The Christian or Muslim who attempts to graft Darwinism onto his religious beliefs and embrace evolution as merely God's method are sadly confused as and in a way deserving of the contempt that the likes of Dawkins and the athiestc heap upon them.

It's two diametrically opposed belief systems, take a stand for one or the other, attempting to sit on the fence and water down all the teachings of your faith in order to accomodate the current teachings of men in white coats is a wretched way to live imo.
