It [evolution] has absolutely nothing to do with biology; Biology is the science of life, while evolution is the philosophy of imagining life without God. They are literally light years apart.

If it wasn't for science you wouldn't have the phrase, 'light years' because the bible writers thought that the stars were pinpricks in the great fabric that encompassed the earth. In revelations it says that jesus will hold a number of stars in his hand. Why didn't 'god' deem it neccessary to tell us that the universe is endless adn that the stars we see are billions of times bigger then the earth, and so far away from each other that you have to measure the distance by how many years of traveling the speed of light it takes to reach them? Hell, they thought water came bubbling up from the ground like the oilwell in the 'Beverly Hillbillies'.
I think the study of biology is probably the biggest contibuter to the ToE. There sure wasn't some magic book edited by thousands that came up with it.
Evolution has everything to do with biology. It was one of THE major advancements in biology.
Evolution is a scientific theory, not a religion. Persons can believe in the ToE and believe in a god. They may not be able to believe in your literal reading of the Bible, but they can believe in a god.
I don't think you even know what a light year is. Hint: It's not just a year that was particularly sunny.
Listen, God, if it is only referred as a name, is NOTHING. Evolution has a lot to do with biology, because the world is full of proofs. The Bible, let´s face, WAS WRITTEN BY A NOMAD SHEPPERD PEOPLE WHO WAS ROOTED IN A PRE-SCIENTIST ERA. Please, even if inspired by God, they had a limited account of information and, besides, it was never their intention to be like Einstein. Caesar to Caesar, and God to God.
They are literally light years apart.
Damn, my biology book is big. The distance between the chapter about evolution and the rest of the book is a void of about 2 lightyear.

is the explanation of how life has changed over time.

evolution is the philosophy of imagining life without God
Evolution has nothing to do with denying God. It's just an explanation of how the offspring of living things gradually change over time to adapt to conditions. Evolution and God may coexist, as any number of Christians have conceded. Only a handful of fundie lunatics like Baptists insist that evolution denies God.
Evolution certainly denies that the Adam and Eve were created 6,000 years ago - but then again, so do astronomy, physics and geology. The existence of God and the accuracy of the Bible are two seperate things. Depending on your beliefs, you may think God does or doesn't exist. The Bible, on the other hand, is provably full of nonsense.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
