Evolution

While fiddling on the computer instead of doing something important, I stumbled across an interesting article from the Washington Post on Evolution vs Intelligent design. I disagree with a fair bit of what both sides of the argument say in America so it's a bit contentious in places, but I loved the way it finished up:

'How ridiculous to make evolution the enemy of God. What could be more elegant, more simple, more brilliant, more economical, more creative, indeed more divine than a planet with millions of life forms, distinct and yet interactive, all ultimately derived from accumulated variations in a single double-stranded molecule, pliable and fecund enough to give us mollusks and mice, Newton and Einstein?'

I certainly think that Evolution should be taught as theory, not fact, and that there should be room for alternative explanations on the school curriculum. But I believe that evolution could be evidence of God's creative process, so I'm not getting myself tied up in knots about it!
