Why creationism? How could it possibly that everything in the universe exists from something made from nothing?

One, science truly doesn't have all the answers. The scientific understanding of the origin of life and the universe are only theorietical and not always the most empirical. We'll never know for sure exactly what happened because we can't go back to the past to observe what happened.

Two, humans have a very hard time comprehending true nothingness. In fact, they can't do it. Nothingness itself is a word that has a definition, and then, is no longer nothing, it's something. It's a word with a definition. Nothingness cannot be described with a word, because as soon as you describe it, it isn't nothing anymore. So, it's real hard for humans to think about something coming from nothing... we can't understand nothingness! We instead make this assumption that everything had to come from somewhere, even if that thing be called 'nothingness' (which again, since we're defining it, it ceases to be what it is trying to define).

Of course I know that science doesn't have all the answers to everything we may ever question. If creation was the true start of everything how did the creator come about? Why would there be an ultimate creator of everything?

Perhaps nothingness in itself is a creative force that we just can't understand. All things go through a cycle of non-existence and existence. Only it isn't quite that simple. If we apply the Law of Conservation to Creationistic theories, than nothingness isn't truly nothingness, it is simply the opposite state of existence. Something always existed, it just changed form. Not sure if this makes sense (it almost doesn't make sense as I write it) but hey, I tried! sweatdrop

Not everybody believes in an ultimate creator either. So perhaps there isn't one? Can't ever know, though.

I believe that that makes sense, at last I think so. Maybe someday we will be able to know what really happened - though very doubtful (just like my plan to read minds).

Evolution is fraud, many examples of evolution are fabricate ,and you don't need to know this to know biology books are trying to sell you s**t about this evolution.
Biology book
How can this resistance be explained? The work of Darwin provides an answer. Remember, Darwin suggests that there is great variation among organisms. Supposes there were few insects that were not killed by an insecticide that killed other members of there species. Suppose there existed a bacterium that was unaffected by an antibiotic proven to control other members of its species. The surviving organisms would more fit. They could pass on their genes to their offspring.
"were few insects that were not killed by an insecticide" They survived because it was already built into their D.N.A. in fact all changes in animals occurred because the instruction to do so is already built into their D.N.A.

*363 days after I posted the original topic*

This topic was based on a misunderstanding of the theory of evolution on my part. Since then, I've had my misconceptions corrected, and this question no longer applies.

I didn't even know this thread was still around, actually, I just logged onto Gaia for the first time in months.
