PLS HELP GIVE UR THINKING EASYYY 25 POINTSS Can a person believe in God and still accept Evolution? Why or why not

Yes... Although most U.S. Catholics accept the idea of evolution in some form, a substantial percentage of American adults reject the scientific explanation for the origins of human life, and a number of religious groups in the U.S. maintain that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection is not correct because it conflicts with their views of creation.

Explanation:

I see no conflict in what the Bible tells me about God and what science tells me about nature. Like St. Augustine in

A.D. 400, I do not find the wording of Genesis 1 and 2 to suggest a scientific textbook but a powerful and poetic

description of God's intentions in creating the universe. The mechanism of creation is left unspecified. If God, who is

all powerful and who is not limited by space and time, chose to use the mechanism of evolution to create you and

me, who are we to say that wasn't an absolutely elegant plan? And if God has now given us the intelligence and the

opportunity to discover his methods, that is something to celebrate.

I lead the Human Genome Project, which has now revealed all of the 3 billion letters of our own DNA instruction book.

I am also a Christian. For me scientific discovery is also an occasion of worship.

Nearly all working biologists accept that the principles of variation and natural selection explain how multiple species

evolved from a common ancestor over very long periods of time. I find no compelling examples that this process is

insufficient to explain the rich variety of life forms present on this planet. While no one could claim yet to have ferreted

out every detail of how evolution works, I do not see any significant "gaps" in the progressive development of life's

complex structures that would require divine intervention. In any case, efforts to insert God into the gaps of

contemporary human understanding of nature have not fared well in the past, and we should be careful not to do that

answer: ,nnn

explanation:

what: when quoting a source, use the author’s words verbatim, or word-for-word. this means you shouldn’t change any grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. put quotations around the words to tell your reader where the quote begins and where it ends.

you also need to acknowledge the author. for example, if using mla format for your research paper, you should have in-text citations with the author’s name and page number listed at the end of each quote.

when: use quotations to provide concrete examples to support your claims. using direct quotations is a great way to build your credibility on the subject. it’s also a good idea to quote your source when the author states things in a powerful way. if you think he or she said it best, then use the exact words to share the ideas.

example: in the short story “a jury of her peers”, mrs. hale compares mrs. wright to her caged bird, saying “she—come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself. real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and—fluttery. how—she—did—change” (glaspell).

paraphrasing

what: paraphrasing differs from quoting because you restate the passage in your own words. since you don’t use the author’s words, you don’t need to use quotation marks. however, you still need to acknowledge the author for his or her ideas.

when paraphrasing a text, you should communicate the full meaning of the text; don’t change the meaning. it can be a condensed version of the text, or it could end up being longer than the source it’s paraphrasing.

when: you use paraphrasing when you take notes, or explain a chart or diagram to someone. paraphrasing highlight the important parts of a larger text. it also allows you to simplify the ideas for your readers.

example:

original: “it was no ordinary thing that called her away–it was probably further from ordinary than anything that had ever happened in dickson county. but what her eye took in was that her kitchen was in no shape for leaving: her bread all ready for mixing, half the flour sifted and half unsifted” (glaspell).

paraphrase: as mrs. hales walks around mrs. wright’s home, she notices that the kitchen is in disarray as if she was in the middle of baking bread (glaspell).
