My view is that there is not enough conclusive evidence to support either of these theories.

Anyone who believes in creationism/intelligent design is an idiot, and deserves to be shot into the sun.

Evolution. There was an article in the BBC last week, with a missionary who gave up everything in his life, including his wife and daughter, to learn the language of a people which consisted of 8 consonants and 3 vowels, that use tone to communicate, even singing as a part of their language. He was trying to convert these people to religion and found it as a proof that there is no god/evidence of evolution

Yes there is... There are piles of evidence of evolution, and no evidence of creationism.

I suppose reading comprehension isn't your strong area. Well, you are welcome to believe that. I have studied both in detail and for me there is not enough conclusive evidence supporting either theory to confidently explain the beginnings of life on our planet. Perhaps in the future there will be, right now there is not.

I chose the 3rd option. I don't think Evolution and Creationism are mutually exclusive. On a long plane ride, sitting next to my best friend (who is a devout Christian), we had a pretty in-depth conversation about this. There's no reason why an almighty being couldn't have simply set in motion the forces of evolution and natural selection. I always get a bit hung up about all this stuff on the creation of the universe. The very creation of the universe seems to defy the laws of physics - how can matter come from nothing? I think it's possible that a god, or whatever you choose to call it, could have simply set things in motion with the laws of physics/chemistry.

Oh, and this thread is flamebait.

Then you are a complete idiot. It's clear that you are incapable of understanding anything above a 1st grade level. Congratulations.

Hey look, an e-thug.

Oh no, I've been called out. Forgive me for not losing sleep over what you think of me.

the very existence of the universe - which means that at some point it had to have started from almost nothing - proves that NOT OF THIS IS REAL!
OMG does that blow your mind? We are totally the imagination of something (our creator. praise you for dreaming about us in your never-ending coma!), or a simulation that needs to be stopped immediately.
that'd be weird. all of a sudden, nothing in here. do we just... turn off?
woah

That made me think of this:

We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

Sadly, we are but an AI some Alien kid made for his Programming Class. That may seem to support "Creation", he made the AI Evolve though, so it's a wash.

The kids gonna get a Fail mark. :(
