I belive we do because, as through history. Something comes from something else, why should humans be any diferent to this.

There is no way to disprove evolution, however the whole big bang theory is rather far out and full of gaps...

if one believes in evolution, they don't necessarily have to believe the big bang theory.

I myself believe in evolution, but I believe there is a creator who created the world, and then sat back afterwards to see where everything went.

likewise... but I think that the creator of the topic didn't clarify that.

no I didn't, and I did so for a reason, because there are many forms of evolutionist beliefs, there is cosmic evolution, which involves the big bang theory, there is microevolution, etc. and I was hoping to get more than just the "i don't believe that humans evolved from monkey's," I wanted other views on evolution. LIke cosmic evolution, microevolution, and so on.

My maths teacher in 10th-12th grade, cynical guy, told me the big bang theory was partly created because some priest asked for a theory as realistic as possible that didn't have to erase the possibility of a (Christian) god existing. I have not found evidence for or against the truth of that statement of his, but some other statements he's made, including slightly provocative ones, have been proven correct.

I think its a combination of evolution and creation. Obviously the bacteria had to come from somewhere but I don't think the bacteria could have evolved into such complex beings in such a short amount of time. So many animals were in existence since the begining of time. Scientists can't even explain how they got there that early. But I do believe that there were primitive apes that eventually turned into humans.

Personally, I side with you-my belief is that God created the Big Bang, or whatever we finially decide created the universe, and set up physics, ect. and let evolution go to work-occasionaly changing things so they go the way that their supposed to, like humans evolving. 3nodding

I believe in the evolution of our consciousness.
As the saying goes: As within, so without. (Or something similar.)
Why couldn't the physical world evolve as well?

I think the big bang theory and creationism fit together very well, myself. My points:

1. First god created light, right? Well, what was the big bang? An explosion. Explosions are very bright. Lots of light, first thing.

2. Man was formed from dirt. When I think formed, I think molded. You start out with a little blob, you make it taller, you give it legs, okay maybe not that many legs, little more hair here, little less hair here, and how many tries does it take before you can get clay to stand on its own? I mean, it leans forward, it leans back, it falls over, you make adjustments. After a while, yo have something that looks pretty good.

I'm not saying that God tinkered and played with clay until he thought he had something he couldn't improve on anymore. I'm just saying that in this view, creationism is evolution. And, I don't think about it too far beyond that.

and if you look at it, everything that happened in the evolutionary order happened in Biblical order. (light, water, water parts to land, etc.)

I found something very interesting (you might even say entertaining) which pertains to this thread:

http://www.answersingenesis.org/museum/

Apparently in Kentucky theres a several-million-dollar museum devoted to Christian Science. Now, no offense to anyone who believes in Christian Science or anything involved in that topic, but I personalliy find is some of the most rediculous stuff I've ehard in my life. The "serpent" on the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was a dinosaur? After Adam and Eve ate the fruit and fled the garden, Adam's sin created the Tyrannosaurus, the "ultimate terror"?? I'm sorry, but I cannot look at those words and keep a straight face.
