Bodies of Evidence

The current debate between evolution and creation philosophies are based on a couple different bodies of evidence.

First, on the evolution side, we have the fossil record. And then we have various philosophies that popped up from an interpretation of the fossil record.

On the creation side, we have the biblical text. But we also have various theologies that developed from interpretations of the biblical text.

And most of the arguments between the evolutionists and the creationists have occurred from the philosophies, not the evidence. It comes down to the interpretation we want to believe just as before we read the evidence and what conclusions we come to after. It also depends on what community we belong to, as to what kinds of interpretation we will allow ourselves to have.
