For believers: Is evolution all there is to know about humans?
Proverbs 18:17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.

"Why is everyone so quick to reason God might be petty. Now that is creating God in our own image :)."

It would be, if we didn't somehow have this (debatable and curious) attribute of freedom of will. If our genes determined us, rather than merely influencing us, then our DNA, unique to each of us, would be sufficient to predict what we will think, say, and do, in any given set of circumstances. But, it seems that it isn't, so evolution, while being the background to the painting of our lives, does not seem to be the whole of the picture.

Best wishes, 2RM.
