if that's the case, then a belief in "god" and evolution (the theory of natural selection vis a vis adaptation) can co-exists (there is no conflict.)

Yes, they can co-exist. My father, for example, is both theist and believes in evolution.

Some people need the figure of a God, even if it does less and less as time goes by

Do you really have such a low opinion of people who believe in religion/God?

In case you haven't noticed, my religious views don't affect my belief in evolution.

No, I don't, and sorry if I came across as someone who does

It's just that, in my father's case, it's quite weird: He accepts the Big Bang Theory, for example, along with evolution and all, and has is highly skeptical about most of the "unknown".

However, he really seems to "need" a God, even if he's able to "explain" the world without it. That's what I meant by that. Evolution, Big Bang, Sociology... they don't necessarily refuse the existence of a God (even if it means creationism and young earth are false), in cases such as my father's.

I just don't understand this "God" concept! Even though, I think it's a more primitive explaination for our origins, I have yet to understand it!

And yet evolution is still a theory full of holes.
