      The "or humans developing from other species, but guided by god" makes that stat not crazy. I mean if you believe in god isn't that just a rational way of saying "I believe in evolution, but also god."

        Granted, I'm not a religious person anymore, but when I was, I never saw any contradiction between evolution and God. God is God, the Almighty etc etc, just because iron age humans had difficulties pondering the infinite doesn't mean God literally made the universe in six HUMAN DAYS. It always struck me as arrogant. Applying limits to God's creation is applying limits to God because God is infused in all things, living and inanimate. These people suck at monotheism.

          That's exactly what my intelligent, leftist friends say who are religious.
