I'm all evolution. Creationism makes no sense to me, never has never will. DNA between humans and Chimps is rather astonishing.

I think we evolved from apes, but there is evidence against it according to people at my school. What do you beleive?

---

I'd love to see such 'evidence.'

I'd be willing to bet points that they are either ignorant, or full of shit.

Same here. I simply cannot understand how someone can believe the creationist theory.

A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses.

"Creationism means that the various forms of life began abruptly through the agency of an intelligent creator with their distinctive features already intact - fish with fins and scales, birds with feathers, beaks, and wings, etc." (Biology and Creation 1986, FTE 3014-3015, pp. 2-13, 2-14)

As for abiogenesis.

We know quite a lot about abiogenesis, and, despite the lies of mcdouga, we have replicated many major parts of it.

For instance, scientists have assembled the first synthetic virus.

"The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the
shoreline of wonder" (Ralph W. Sockman)

I don't believe in Creationism in that God clapped his hands and animals and Adam and Eve just sprung out of the Earth and la di da, humans appeared. I think that's crap.

However, I do believe that God had something to do with it. Like he was the spark that lit the firecracker that was the Big Bang, or something. Just the little nudge to get things rolling.

But I'm a believer in God and so it makes perfect sense to me, whereas others who don't believe in God might scoff and think I'm a loony. But oh well, that's what I believe.

Just call me Katie.
I'm marrying Jamie Hunt on September 15, 2008. Counting down the days!

That's basically always been my belief, even before that was influenced by other things to which I was introduced.

livewire member "nyc93" makes an astounding observation about a 3 year old

However, as I've gotten older, I've come to believe that the earth was created in some form and humans have henceforth evolved.

Evolution and creation are two different things. Evolution explains how life has progressed after the initial creation but does not and cannot explain how life on earth was created in the first place. For over 50 years scientists have tried to show where the first cells came from and have failed miserably. The primordial ooze theory just doesn't add up. Many scientists claim that no such 'soup' existed since no chemical evidence of it can be found even in the oldest rock formations that bear evidence of early organic life. Also if live originated in a primordial 'soup' it should have left behind a chemical signature but nobody has found any evidence of this either.
