You know what's interesting about this is that up until recently, I unequivocally would've voted yes... while I am a Christian, I don't get hung up on the particulars of the creationist story. I personally don't believe it's inconceivable to think God was (is!) creating through an evolutionary force, instead of a "Poof!" sort of way.

However, once I realized that in order to say I believe in evolution, I have to believe everything is completely random in development/design. And the more I learn about the body, there's simply no way I can believe this is random. No way.

So I voted other. :)

Other than your first part about you would have voted yes, this is me exactly. I voted somewhat to evolution but ITA with what you've said here. I don't see how it could be random but I do see that things are evolving. Maybe I should have just voted other. ;)

I believe in a type of Intelligent Design. I know God created the world. How? Could have been the Big Bang.  I believe he made Man. But I also know that evolution is real. We know that animals have evolved, changed, adapted over the years.

So, not sure what that makes my vote. Other? Somewhat?
