Evolution is fact. I don't believe in it, believe implies faith. I know it's true.

Evolution is not a fact... it's still a theory.

Someone needs to learn what a scientific theory is. A scientific theory can be fact, like evolution is both a theory and fact.

Not really. You know about the Super String Theory?

"Theory" is a misnomer for Stuperstring, String, or M ideas. Unfortunately it's a popular misnomer that probably owes a lot to even the everyday use by scientists of the word "theory" in a common context and not the specifically scientific context.

... so how can Evolution be both theory and a fact? It's either a theory or it's a fact.

Being a fact does not disqualify something from being a Theory, nor does being a Theory imply uncertainty as opposed to facts. Evolution is a fact. We see it happen, we see the evidence for it, we know it goes on. There is a Theory of Evolution to explain these observations, and try to piece together how the fact of evolution works. "Either a theory or a fact" is untrue because they're not rungs on a single ladder of knowledge, but different labels for types of knowledge that are not mutually exclusive.

the bibles a story book, created from ppls imaginations.
jesus did exsist but him n his 12 diciples were con artests
for example wen he cured the lepper, he paid som e man to go into th enext town n tell a great story of how he had leppers and jesus cam along and cured it and how he was goin to arive in that ton in a few days.

thats my opinion smile

i only hope that u're jus jokin unless u're the man he paid!!!!!!! I LOVE GOD AND I KNOW HE LOVES ME !!!!!!! i'm deeply offended by wat y'all have to say cry

When you think about whether evolution is true or not, religion doesn't even have to come into it at all. Whether God exists or not does not alter the fact that, once you understand the idea of evolution, you realise that it does take place. It's simple. If there is a population with variations which randomly mutates and in which some variations are beneficial to survival and others are not, evolution will occur.

if u wanna explain how nowa built an arche 3 times as long as england and 7 times as high as the empier state building go ahead but its all just a load of crap that was made up and the bible was only first writen 300 years ago so explain 2000 years

and i kinda did with the hold lepper story

can u proove that any of the bible is real?

if gods so real why doesnt he ever do anythin?

What...What do you mean, "God doesn't ever do anything."

Take a look around you, at the world! Miracles happen everyday, everything is happening because God lets it. He does more than our feeble Human minds could ever comprehend.

To answer the question, yes I believe in creationism...although some points in evolution do make since. I'm completely open minded too both. Some things in evolution I DO NOT agree with, while others do seem logical.

I definitely agree with u how can u ppl say god does nothing if you've never asked him to do anything??? And don't try stupid things like god i wish this or that (little trivial stuff>>even though sometimes he answers those too smile ) but try talkin to Him about serious things!!!!! He's there he'll answer u and trust me God loves everyone of us aqnd the Bible (Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth!!!!) is exactly wat it is it's basic it doesn't highlight every insy winsy detail like how often Jesus took showers and stuff so don't expect to see irrelevant stuff in it plus since man evolved who created the monkeys?? Try explainin that!!!!!!!!!! (not everything in life mekes sense learn that!!!!!
I thank GOd for ppl like u that actually believe in Him God bless and keep u and don't let this world make u change ur mind!!!!! (Christians united!!!!!!)

[DaveTheGiant]

The way i see it... Evolution is a theory, the story of God creating the world is a story.

The bible is old and the people who wrote it lacked understanding... It says that God created the world in 7 days... this is plainly wrong.

But i don't see why God couldn't have sparked the evolution process, perhaps used his God like powers to stear it the way he went etc.

[The Black Troll]

Tell you what. Would you believe me if I told you that both Creationism and Evolution walk side by side? Would you believe me if God created the Amoeba's, and called them Adam and Eve?

[DasUberGuy]

Not to mention that if the water covered the entire earth, then where did it come from?

[Thy_Mushroom]

If you actually understood the biology and evidence behind evolution you would realize that denying evolution is on the same lines as saying the earth is flat . Even those who are religious that persue a career as a biologist or paleontologist almost always discover that in order to be honest with themselves that they need to adopt some form of theistic evolution .

Anyone who outright denies evolution is an uneducated n00b who has been reading too much of Jack-chick-type bullshit propaganda .

Hey heart
I used to believe that Humans evolved from Apes. That all life came from single celled Organisms called Amoebas.
Now I believe that god created us all, and the bible is fact.
I just wanted to know your opinions out there. Try to back up your idea... mrgreen

Evolution is truth because there is physical evidence to back it up. There is no evidence to prove that there is a God though.

Also, if that evidence of evolution was just put there to 'test our belief' in Christianity, then God's a d**k.

The End.

[Joshua_Ritter]

ah, Jack Chick... A shining light of humanity in our dark world. wink well, seriously, I dont think religion is a mechanism for disproving evolution, because they both operate off different fact sets. criteria for religion are different than the criteria for evolution, and are evaluated differently. if you are religious, great, but take a look at proof for evolution in context for that; they are not mutually exclusive. if you are not religious, or do think evolution is true, good for you, but make sure you do because of an understanding of everything it is made up of, and not a cursory examination.

No, but thanks for trying!

I'm just saying, if 'God' were naming ameobas he's ******** in the head.
