Between 'there is a God' and 'there is no God' lies a whole vast tract, which the really wise man crosses with great effort.

The real question is, Did God use evolution as His plan? If it could be shown that man, instead of being made in the image of God, is a development of beasts we would have to accept it, regardless of its effort, for truth is truth and must prevail.
