I doubt it.

That's what make all you evolutionists so great.. you put just as much faith in your theory as I do my God.

no, because if there was good evidence against evolution then the theory would be abandoned.

*sigh*

Commence flamewar.

About the same old thing.

That can't be resolved by either side.

For the 100,000,000th time.

WTF is it with creationists that they feel constantly compelled to disprove evolution? You're 99% chimpanzee. Deal with it.

woo i made it early...its gonna be a beyotch to resond whens theres 100s of posts


my personal theory on evolution/big bang:

I believe that energy and matter are closely related and it possbile to convert one form another. (see Einstein and electron and positron collisions etc.)
I would say that the galaxy has a given amount energy, something that doesnt change and we can observe it on the minor scale with the various energy conservation rules. From that its not that far away to believe the universe has given amount of mass and evolution is just a part of the cycle before the universe colapses on itself turning back to energy (em waves). and the cycle keeps going

I believe in both God and evolution.

The Bible is another matter all together.

Don't tell me there are still people who believe that nonsense about Adam and Eve.

Good grief.

Not really. over the past 100 years, people have constantly revised evolutionary theory. As people have come up with better explanations for how life came to be, the newer and better supported material was incorporated into a constantly changing scientific theory.

When was the last time your bible/koran/whatever book was updated due to a new scientific discovery?

Ferocious how can you believe in God AND evolution? I like that signature someone on here has that says "Even Darwin knows the truth now" or something like that.

It makes sense if you subscribe to the Deus ex Machina thing. You know, God set everything up and then just put it in motion? This isn't my personal belief structure, but is certainly plauseable enough.

Explain to me the Cambrian explosion then..

And about creation not being updated.. I guess you don't know to much about creation science then.

Most people who believe in both believe that everything God does can be explained scientifically (IE - 7 days of creation = big bang, forming of Universe, Creation of man = evolution of man, etc)

Its the same as me asking you to prove to me a "higher level" is out there. Could you? Probally not.

Heres a perfect quote from someone's sig...

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
