Pre Big Bang, there is no data, so science has to shut up really and then well I guess it is really a matter of faith !

I also don't understand why religion has to be so intolerant over a theory as blatantly "in your face" as evolution. It is not like it proves there is no God (see above).

You would have thought that after the old "world being flat" or the "sun revolving round the earth" which were also religious doctrine at various points in time, that were just wrong, the church would have the good sense to at the very least moderate its teachings about the world around it.

If a God it telling man how it all happened why would they tell him / her stuff that was wrong ? What about dinosaurs ? You would think such impressive creatures would warrant a mention ?

I COMPLETELY AGREE!

I have my doubts towards the validity of INTERSPICIES evolution not due to religious background, but due to scientific infirmities. INTRAspecies is undeniable, but science has yet to find a real interspecies link. However, I see absolutely NO qualms with a not-so literal interpretation of the Bible where evolution is possible.

Oh, Sclorch, I forgot to mention a flaw in your logic. If God is perfect (one of the four possible outcomes) then it might be impossible for imperfect beings, such as ourselves, to comprehend his purpose or logic in making this world. Thus we cannot deny the possible validity of that outcome. I'm not saying that they're undeniably is a God (although I believe that). I'm just saying your method of disproving His existence is not entirely valid.
