Evolution is a theory. It is what science is all about. Religion and Science can go hand in hand. I believe the biblical creation story of 7 days to God is actually like a million years to us!! god gave man intellect to study the creators creation therefore study God's marvelous works. peace.

God is our creation but we turned around to claim that he created us.\n\nof course people will say god created us becauase the bible said so. and where did that information in the bible come from, god--- circular logic

Well, I'm a Christian biologist, and I know many others who are.  I accept that evolution occured, but I do think it was necessary for God to direct it.  There are too many irreducibly complex systems at the cellular level, and too many astronomically unlikely coincidences that would have had to take place, if natural selection were completely responsible for the phenomenon.  Even a time span of billions of years is just not enough to account for it, statistically speaking.  That's my professional opinion, and I'm far from the only one who thinks so.

Yup, I believe in God and The Bible, His letter to mankind.  And no, I do not believe in the Theory of Evolution.\n\nIf one believes the Bible is God's Word, then one can't believe in evolution.  Since the Bible IS the Word of God, then the entire book has to be perfect -- totally inerrant.  This means that if one believes anything in the Bible, one must believe every single word.  It's all or nothing; God either said it or He didn't say it.  He is either lying or He is telling the truth.  He is incapable of lying or of being inaccurate in anything He says so every bit of it has to be true.\n\nEven though there are things we may not understand, we believe them anyway, because God is totally trustworthy.  There are many things few of us understand, but we believe in them anyway, such as the deeper things of science and mathematics.  I don't understand much about how a computer works and the many advancements in information technology, but I sure believe in them.\n\nIf there's anyone we can rely on it is God.  He doesn't make mistakes.  He is perfect.

I also understand evolution to be true.\nWe "paint" God as a man becaue we have no other understanding. We are only human after all.

Who created whom ?  Did God create man, or did man create God ?  Forget timeframes and other distractions, this is the real question.

God could have been the power that started the Big Bang....that put the amoeba on the earth. Evolution can go hand in hand with religious beliefs.

Neither were the first to be born.  Humans came from a large group of primates that evovled into humans, so there was never just one human to begin with.  Religion gives an oversimplified explanation of where humans came from with no evidence other than stories that were written thousands of years ago to prove their point.

Creation was created by God. \n\nGod has provided many evidences of His existence. One of these is the testimony of His creations: “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork” (Psalm 19:1). \nHave you ever looked in awe at the night sky with its millions of stars? Or studied the intricate details of a leaf or flower? Or marveled at the miracle of a tiny new baby? These beautiful and complex creations didn’t come about by chance. They are the creations of God, your Heavenly Father. They can remind you of His existence and of His love for His children. \n\nAn ancient prophet declared: “All things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth . . . and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator” (Book of Mormon, Alma 30:44). \n\nIf you want to know HOW God created all of His creations you can read all about it in the Bible. It is in the Old Testament Book of Genesis in chapters one and two.\n\nGod bless you in your search for the truth.

According to the theory of evolution, which is strongly supported scientifically, we are not decended from apes, monkeys or chimpanzees.  We do, however, share a common ancestor with them.  Humans evolved from that common ancestor to become what we are today, and the others evolved to become what they are today.  However, there are other viewpoints on this matter, which, though not scientifically supported, are in wide belief in many cultures.  These ideas are based on religious belief systems. These belief systems contend that humans have NOT evolved, and were created just as we are today by a diety or dieties.  Whether this is true or not, is a source of much debate.

its worth looking at. i mean there is some convincing evidence that we did evolve from monkeys and other mammals. of course you can say god created man and leave it at that, but how can we move on and learn new things about the origin of life with that view? So i guess i will keep an open mind to both views

Charles Darwin\n~Before Darwin most people believed the biblical account of the creation found in Genesis, which said that God had created the universe, the various species of animal and plant life, and human beings, all in six days.  This relied on the notion of faith rather than on reason.\n~ Held the theory of natural selection\n~Human beings were also a product of natural selection, evolving from earlier, lower, nonhuman forms of life\n~wrote the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1859\n~argued that Life forms originate in struggle and perpetuate themselves through struggle and the outcome of the struggle was determined by “natural selection” or what is known as “survival of the fittest”\n~Strong survived and others died out\n\n~This theory was aimed at the political failures of idealism

No. The world was not created 5000 years ago by a supreme being. It evolved into what we see around us through billions of years of change commonly referred to as evolution.

This is an interesting subject. First of all I do belive in God&Creationalism, but however Im not very religous.Before God created Adam and Eve there must have been life on Earth.\nPerhaps God chose the Earth to put Man on because it was a very viable place to live. In Genisis chapter one it is written "In the begining God created the heavens and the Earth, and the Earth was VOID and WHITHOUT form" "Then the Spirit of the Lord moved apon the face of the deep... Its hard to say really, but in my opinion this is similar to the way science sugests that it all began, on a barren rocky world filled with an endless sea with which life could proliferate. There is evidence on the surface of the Earth that sugests that massive impacts from space have occured. Perhaps before the time of Man, the Earth was filled with Dinosaurs and 'quote' other prehistoric life and it was a great place for LIFE. Then one day for a reason known only to God, he chose to destroy the Earth with an asteroid so massive that it compleatly decimated everything, and left the planet, dark, void, and without proper form. The neanderthal men, in my opinion are evidence of somthing else mentioned in the Bible. In Genisis chapter six it says "the sons of God saw the beatiful women of the human race, and took any they wanted as there wives...in those days and even after GIANTS lived on the Earth" .The sons of God probly refers to angelic beings. Neanderthals were supposed to be much larger, and more robust then regular  humans of today. I think I have seen a few shows on the Discovery channle about human evolution, and acording to science, neanderthals, and humans most likely lived side by side. Then for reasons unknown, there was only MAN left as if the neanderthal died out. What about the great Mammoths, Sloths, Sabertoothed Cats, among other animals? I think that they, and the neanderthals were not included on NOAHS ARK. There is so much information to think about! Even so, there is still a lot of mystery. I do know one thing, all the PERFECT laws of the universe, from GRAVITY to MAGNATISIM, to PHYSICS just prove that that the universe was created intelligently, and beatifully might I ad. Sorry to type so much I have wandered about these issues too. Please remember that I was just speaking hypotheticaly on the what ifs. Hope I helped a little.

I agree that the Universe was created by a higher being. I don't agree that said being created man at all. However, I do think that by becoming aware of ourselves and simply believing in said being's existence that said being is now aware of us. I don't believe that God/Diety/whatever you want to call it really gives a damn what we do. Anyway...I think that all beings, sentient or otherwise, that exist in the Universe are a result of the divine and since the divine makes no mistakes we are as we were meant to be. Flawed but still here. Still trying to find the meaning of it all.

I believe in God, so I believe that when we were created the origin of consciousness was planted in us. That's my opinion.
