What do you believe, and why?  I am stuck in an ID/evolutionist idea.  But I don't discredit creation.  What do you think?

God IS!  Believe what you want.  Be blessed you are here to ask the question.  Moving forward...

Actually, all that stuff is too confusing for the average Joe to consider. I think it actually takes more faith to believe all that stuff than it does to believe in creation. Of course, that's just MY take on the whole matter. It's almost like believing a junk yard blew up one day, then came back together to form a cadillac. It's just too much to believe for me. <*)))><

Please make the context of your question more clear.\n\nI see now that you're referring to another question (Why is intelligent design a fallacy?) in Yahoo Answers, and to a response made by user "titq."\n\nWhy not send him/her email and ask directly?\n\nFor more info on the ID debate, take a look at the following web sites:\n\nhttp://www.nationalacademies.org/evolution/\nhttp://www.talkdesign.org/\nhttp://www.natcenscied.org/\nhttp://www.natcenscied.org/article.asp

Lets take a look at your statement. \n\n1st: Buddha is NOT a god or a creator. He is just a man who awoke to reality. Nothing more...Nothing less.\n\n2nd: Why do you think there was a creator? Nothing in the universe points to a creator except "circular logic", and "circular logic" is unscientific and illogical. This is why 'creationism' is called a pseudo-science and is not recognized by the majority of the earths scientific community. \n\n3rd: The 'Almighty One' as you put it is irrelevant to reality so why do you waste time worrying about it? Worry about the here and how. What is not what may have been or what may yet be. Focus on the reality around you not what myths and legends have been created to distract you. Pease will not come by trying to alienate other people by arguing who's god is the greatest. Just accept all people as they are and let the rest work itself out.

Whether the 6 days of creation are seen as literal 24 hour time periods, or as an age/era (possibly constituting billions of years), the fact remains that God is the Creator of all.\n\nI find it rather ironic that the Atheists will contend that Creationists are being dishonest with the facts...that we somehow skew them to support or own conclusions.  Yet these same people will turn around and try to cloak theories of abiogenesis as being "scientific".  How about simply being honest?  Abiogenesis has never been observed, and there is no plausible rationale to think that it is even remotely possible.\n\nAtheists put their "faith" in mutated DNA somehow producing new species, I put my faith in a Creator...

I've read and studied to limited degree some of the standard textbooks on evolution and it has not shaken my faith, but i don't claim to be an expert, but you might want to take a look at the fact that some of the writers of standard text supporting evolution have since begun to question its ability to explain the world around us... see Dean Kenyon, he didn't read the standard graduate level text "Biochemical Evolution", he wrote it, but he has since changed his view to intelligent design.  see also Stanley Salthe he wrote the widely used text "Evolutionary Biology" (1972) as far as I know he's not a christian but he recently signed a list of over 600 scientist expressing their doubts about evolution.Even among staunch evolutionist there is widespread disagreement as to how or if current theories can adequately explain the complexity and diversity of life. Don't let an oversimplified pop culture understanding of evolution mislead you into thinking the universe is understood and God has been somehow disproved/discredited or made irrelevant. Evolutionary theory has in no way proven we are here by chance. see www.wasdarwinwrong   its a good survey of pro-darwin, neo-darwin, alternative and intelligent design literature.  see also  discovery.org and reasonstobelieve.org  don't fail to examine the claims of Christ because a theory of biological origins

I believe creationists are definately evidence of de-evolution, but there's no way to stop this process because in becoming intelligent we have decided that to let people die and to be so competitive as to allow some to suffer is socially unacceptable..... hence, welfare and people living on life support. It's a catch 22.... allow the weakest to die off and progress... save them and evolve socially and we keep the crack baby population in the gene pool.... we can't win! Although there's no evidence that people who believe in creation couldn't survive in an Atheist world so who knows.... it'd be a great experiment though ;)

Agreed.  They both can be believed together.  This is another point of evidence that the Fanatics on all sides are the one's making it difficult for others to be open minded.  You have certain Atheists who claim Evolution proves there is no God (Evolution does no such thing... it is not out to prove or disprove the supernatural.)  And then you have those Christians who claim that Creation could not have come about thru Evolution.  Which merely shows me that, though I'm not exactly super-intelligent on the subject of Evolution, but even I know better than to make silly statements such as these.

Whoa! Thanks so much for the LOGICAL information against evolution, especially the lie about us being 99 percent identical to chimps. I knew about some of the other forgeries, but thanks. What's disturbing, though, is that some of these things are still promoted by biology teachers in school as fact. For example, the industrial melanism and peppered moth example has still been used in high school biology courses, even AP Biology. Thanks for all the information; it definitely strengthens the idea of a God who wouldn't let this all happen by chance. \nThe only question that remains for the evolutionists, though, is why. Why would they want to support an idea that says we are related to monkeys? Why would they want to downgrade the status of man like this? I simply don't understand it. Though, according to classification, we are primates, we are much greater than that. We are humans. It mystifies me as to why evolutionists can't accept this idea.

simple: humans didn't evolve from monkeys!!! :D yeah, I believe in creation too-- and the God who made it.

Creation-DNA and the human body are far too complex to be be thrown together by chance.\nDNA is a very complex organic computer program that could never evolve. So either you believe in the ET seed theory, or in a Designer. Evolution requires billions of years to even get to the simple cell. Sorry, the sun would have been too hot only a million years ago to sustain life.\n\nNow, suppose a secular scientist were sent to investigate a meteor that impacted the earth. Upon scraping the crust away, the scientist is amazed to find a perfect, sphere of polished metal. Back at the lab, he sees that he can unscrew the hemispheres apart. Inside he finds a very elaborate system of gyros, propulsion and visual cameras. If damaged, the internal systems can repair itself. Would the scientist marvel at how long it took to have such a mechanism accidently evolve in space? Or would he choose to believe it was created by an advanced designer somewhere outside of terrestial domain? Because he is a secular scientist, he has no problem with thinking the latter. Yet if we say we believe in a Creator, we are branded as unscientific or mindless zealots. Science has its own beliefs and faiths. One of them in nucleonic glue holding like particles together in an atom, or evolution which is merely a theory accepted as fact. It is just an agenda to keep God out of the public arena.

Finally a decent out of the box agnostic thinker.  I personally am atheist, because the creation of a creator is just as probable as us being created in the first place.  But the creation of the two are that much more improbable.  \n\nHowever, on your theory, why do you propose that we are mistakes rather than a side effect...

:]\nsince I believe there is a creation I believe in intelligent design\n\nI didn't know of the museum but am interested.

"Creationists" are functionally illiterate, so what else would you expect?\n\nAnyone who defines "evidence" to mean "because I said so" is clearly illiterate. And that is all the "evidence" they have to support the "creation" argument.\n\nThe universe has always existed and was not created by anyone or anything.

I do believe in evolution because that just means cahanges over a period of time but,i don't believe in darwins theory of evolution or the big bang.people who are "scared" of believing in creation are looking for excuses.i don't know about sedementary rock except what my tutor  and teacher tells me.

I understand what you're saying -- I believe in the theory of evolution.  But you do realize that people are just going to say God put it there in the beginning?  As fossils -- not as ancient creatures imprinted or encased in stone.

Sir Arthur Keith (Evolution Expert) himself said it best: "Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We [evolutionists] believe it because the only alternative is special creation [God], and that is unthinkable." \n\nWhat proof do we have of evolution? None at all.  One responder said you were "simplistic"...another cited the "proof" of amino acids.  Any honest/knowledgeable inquirer would recognise that those were VERY simplistic answers.  He wrote "Next comes single cells...".  Wow!  That was an easy transition...and where/how does he maintain the possibility of that? Those do nothing to support their theory, but I guess its all they've got.\n\nWhile we struggle to find the elusive "missing link", in reality there are missing links between every species. How does DNA suddenly decide to produce something other than it is programmed for? Where did those first single celled creatures come from? Where did the matter for the "big bang" come from? \n\nThere is no proof that you are reading this letter as a result of an explosion 14 billion years ago. The evolutionist accepts that origin by "faith", just as the believer accepts our Creator by faith.  However, the current scientific evidence does not support evolutionary theory, rather, it refutes it.  Why does is live on?  Because in the effort to find the origin of life outside of God, its all they've got.
