I already proved it. I quoted from official doctrine of one of the oldest religion in the West which is not only compatible with Evolution, but which welcomes scientific discoveries as helping us to understand God's creation better. That said, your argument has been nothing but assertions, while I have been able to show science and religion co-existing in perfect peace. This is not a fight between two philosophies. These are two completely different ideas - one is a belief system, one is a collection of knowledge extracted with a specific, well-functioning methodology, and there is no contradiction between the two existing quite comfortably.
I differentiate between the two just fine, and
I certainly never said that science will one day prove religion. I fear that once again, your communication abilities may be getting in the way of what you actually mean to say.

Just because it is "Old" doesn't make it true, in fact it gives it more reason to be discarded in the intellectual schema of Western Civilization since it is only America that has difficulty synthesizing Evolution with the Origins of man, you honestly probably didn't even bother to read that huge post about how most Americans who are asked about Evolution don't even know a damn thing relating towards the fact that evolution DISPROVES the Bible, in every sense.
My point here is Spel honestly, is that if Science is true, religion is False. DO you understand that sort of reasoning, because if Science is true and Religion is true, then what is the point of science? TO agree with religion? That is a crock of horse shit.
You can't even use Religion to prove religion Spel, that is ILLOGICAL. How can I express this any further to you without you misinterpreting my intentions as getting upset? Because you are still dancing around your ideas like some egg head without realizing that you are using your very same premise to justify your conclusion.
You're just stating, if this religion is Old, and is True, then therefore the Idea of Science that is younger than that religion must be compatible with it, since the religion is much older than science. That is bullshit. (If my interpretation is Wrong correct me) I've also gathered that you believe that since they COEXIST peacefully it is somehow true that they are compatible, that is again Illogical. Tumors are pretty peaceful, and coexist just fine with your skin cells, so should we just leave Tumors on patients now because they Coexist peacefully?
Get your hippie hat out!

Your own statistics above showed that 45% of theists believed in theistic evolution, how does that in any way prove the two can't be mixed?
Just because its honestly Ignorant and misguided doesn't mean you should follow it. This is prime example that you can take whatever you want from whatever source and sew whatever you want to warm your bosom of intellectuality as best as you can.
Sioux pointed out that there are "cross overs" not actual ideas which are one and the same. Science and religion are fundamentally different Spel, you must understand this. Do not try to prove science with religion, I still believe that you haven't grasped hat concept yet, and you believe that in some overarching sense some day somewhere somehow a scientist will "prove" God. (I mean this as a SUBCONCIOUS manifestation of your ideas, because they converge ontoward the notion of a supernatural God) Hello spel, is there anyone guiding your intuition?
That is absolutely ridiculous, you can't prove anything that is related to God, because every attempt to prove God has yielded jabbering Idiots like you who will make mountains of majesty out of molehills of Moronic claims.
Once again, you cannot prove religion with religion. PERIOD. That is why, I have said that I believe that you think that somehow religion will prove itself, which is absurd. The only way religion can be proven is with Science, and lately Science has been far more on-point that Religion about the origins of man, matter and energy.
Good day.

What do you think this proves exactly and why do you feel this way exactly again?

A puzzle piece means nothing if it doesn't fit, within other pieces that have been objectively cut from the same picture.
This is the puzzle piece that completely has broken the rules about Evolution. This fossil suggests that humans and great apes at a certain point in natural history were a common ancestor. Then some event caused this animal to split off into two species which caused Humans and Great Apes.
Honestly this fossil proves that Humans haven't been around for that long, and more so that we are evolutionarily pretty lucky for getting such huge and Arrogant brains

Where is your evidence to explain the Origins of man?
