clones of their parents? (a son looking exactly like the father or a daughter like the mother.=) in other words how would they explain why children look different than their parents? do they argue that there is no change at all, and that they look the same? do even acknowledge change in the physical attributes from generation to generation?

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!
