I never bother trying to argue with them about it though, because if they are so buried in their religion that they've been driven to deny actual, physical, scientific evidence, I can't think of a single thing I could possibly come up with to say that would make them consider that their precious bible might have within its pages the slightest untruth. 010327 ... Chrity Science people think we evolved. I don't. Evolution is bull-crap. If it were true, we would have come from some single-celled organism, billions of years ago. Chromosomes can't do that. And then, where did that single-celled organism come from? Nothing? Chemicals? No way. That's called spontaneous generation. geez, my high school science teacher taught me about that. It's IMPOSSIBLE. I know why we're here, just ask any Christian.

Since humans are a hybrid species (having both biological AND spiritual components) then both apply to us. Natural selection applies to our natural (earth-based)life. Supernatural_selection applies to our supernatural (eternal) life (which begins at the end of our natural life). 010529 ... prodda-g first off, there are so many great and substantial holes in the evolutionary theory, its absurd and insulting to place your faith of your species history in it. If you don't believe me, read "Darwin's Black Box". second, people are so quick to say there's no god, but, just for a minute, pretend that you DONT know everything, and just pretend there is a god, wouldn't it make sense that all these physical laws and properties of space and time are there because they've been placed there by someone greater. I mean, really does it make sense that there is "space" and "time" and "light" and all the other things that make up our universe. Why is everything the way it is? Just because...or is there a purpose? 010725 ... sabbie however-many millions of years of evolution and here i sit working for the nestle of tel.co.s. nice one, god. ive always admired your sense of humour. 010726 ... TalviFatin --Warning-- the following is just a humble opinion. Seriously, I'm starting to believe in evolutional theories. If you look at the animals, including humans, we are slowly evolving and adapting to our world. What about the dinosaurs and such? We have fossils. They evolved from small tadpole-like creatures, and kept growing until the catastrophic meteor hit earth. (I would use more correct terms and scientific language, but i'm too tired.) We are doing the same thing. Evolution is purely the way of life. It is the way to survive. Also, the issue about other life on other planets. Life over there will evolve too. I am possitive there is much more other life out there. Not necessarily the green alien men ppl always invision. But diseases, microorganisms, bcteria of sorts, are sure to exist in dirt, rocks, water, and air out there. It will all evolve eventually and we wont be alone. Now, monkeys. I sure hope to hell we didnt evolve from those mangey flea infested retards.But...i guess we did. Ohwell. I just lost what I was trying to get at...hmmm.... 010726 ... The Truth I believe it's possible for all of the life on Earth to have originated from one seed (a seed in the form of a comet, complete with genetic instructions on HOW life was designed to evolove) except, however, humans. I can't find (and believe me, I've looked) a single shred of evidence that supports the possiblilty that humans evolved. Even when I think about it logically, it doesn't make a bit of sense that humans are to be included with the rest of the planet. We are way too different, our mastery and dominative control of our environment, creative and musical arts, and many other things_that_seperate_humans_from_the_animals (no, that's too long, see: created_in_God's_image )make it crystal clear that humans are seemingly not a part of this evolving chain of life. We are above it. I am not saying it's a big lie to believe in human evolution, but we are still "children" as a species, very young compared to other lifeforms, and we are bound to make many cognitive mistakes. But when we look back at our recorded history (something the apes don't have) we notice that we as humans haven't really changed much. We are still eating and drinking and marrying and giving away in marriage, working, partying. We've still got our wild bands of people that just don't give a kcuf and we still have our tender sweethearts. Kings, national borders, slaves, fishing, agriculture, and on and on and on... What has changed, what has actually evolved, is our ideas, I.E. our technology. There are no new ideas, however every day one of us puts together a new COMBINATION of ideas that works out to benefit our society as a whole. So our technology and society may evolve, by we as a species have not. It us based upon our level of creation, We have the ability to create, i.e. our creative process, that renders us superior and alien to all forms of life on this planet. 010726 ... prodda-g Ok, for all you "experts" on the evolutionary theory that like to downgrade creationists as ignorant, weak, religousts...a challenge. Ever heard of "irreducible complexity?" It's this little trait that encompasses just about every living thing we know. For example, an eye, a cell... What it means is, "can not be made less complex," or in other words "could not have evolved by small, gradual, steps over billions of years." It's just impossible. For instance, the cell. A cell will not function if you remove say, the nucleus, or the mitochondia, or the golgi complex, or the cell wall, or any other part of the cell. The cell will not function. Also, no part of the cell can function on its own. All the parts of the cell are interdependent and all the parts of the cell contribute to the cell's overall function. Now let's take a step back. Evolution occurs because some element or trait makes the species or organism better adapted to it's environment than other organisms, and the other organisms will die off, but the organisms containing the desired trait wil live and produce offspring until all organisms contain the desired trait. Then how does an irreducibly compex system evolve? How do all the parts of the cell evolve in small gradual steps, when none of the parts contribute anything to the organism until all the parts are fully developed. In other words, say an organism somehow "gets" a nucleus, or more precisely, a partially developed nucleus. Why would natural selection give this organism an advantage over other organisms that don't contain a nucleus. The only purpose of a nucleus without a cell is to suck energy from the organism, therefore giving it a disadvantage, and consequently, the organism would die off. This scenario is the same with all irreducibly complex systems, basically all of life. The answer is...it's impossible. Evolution between species is impossible. Yes, a species can develop small changes that help it survive, but can not develop into a new species. It's impossible. You may think I'm a scientist or something, but I'm a 14 year old Christian boy who goes to a public school. This isn't biased information. It's scientific fact. If you want more information on how evolution is wrong, read Darwins Black Box by Dr. Behe. It talks all about irreducible complexity in much more depth. Even if you disagree with my argument, you should read it to have a better understanding of the arguments against evolution. 010726 ... The Truth 14? impressive. What if the system of "single-celled" life forms evolved all at once, instead of one cell at a time, the whole system at the same time? I am not trying to argue with your profound words, I just want your opinion. I also think that it takes more faith to believe in evolution as it does to believe in Creation. If anything, I believe that the study of Evolution is just the study of God's workmanship. How He built life doesn't necessarily impact WHY He built (created) life. 010726 ... prodda-g Evolution is such a successful theory because of the fact that it is very easthetically pleasing. Small, gradual changes are easy to visualize as long as its not looked at scientifically on a microscopic level. But, IF... somehow evolution occured to bring us to the present day, I think there's still no doubt that it must have originated with a "Creation." A catylyst so to speak, to begin life. Evolution between species, as I've already stated, is surely impossible, but even if it wasn't, and even if species could evolve into other species, there would be no doubt in my mind that a Creator was involved. Life is the essence of God that makes any theory outside of God completely impossible and downright absurd. I mean its almost wrong to claim discovery of a theory that "explains" life. How arrogant of them. But yes I agree with you, even if evolution did happen, it should still be attributed to God. 010726 ... kx21 A Beautiful String of the past, present and future of the Universe / Virtual_Universe; and a Sub_string of The_string_Between_Reality_and_Illusion ... 010726 ... kx21 Tell me who is the creator / designer of such magnificent String...

Syrope where in the world did people come up with the "humans came from monkeys" thing...have any of you even read Darwin's work? he said nothing about man coming from monkey. he said we had a common ancestor... *sigh* if you're gonna argue with evolution at least know what evolution MEANS. 020325 ... silentbob true dat my friend tried to argue with me that the monkey theory was darwins and i was like, "No." he also said that on his death bed, which is, ya know, the most reliable source of information, charles darwin said he never believed in evolution. 020418 ... grendel darwin was a proponent of the theory o fnatural selection which is in itself a component of the theory of evolution. if you look at the way some people jump about scream and pull their hair when you disagree with their politics or religions how could we come from anything other than monkeys? 020418 ... jezabel he ruined me, the one that awoke me. i run through streets, panting, pouncing on strangers in search of his scent. i catch parts, at times. never enough. never the pinnacles again. toys, catnip mice, occasionally another cat, but nothing like the shadowed corners come alive, the fresh fangs being tested and boundaries existing only to be pushed, swelling and deforming until all is possible. but such fruit flourishes only in the gardens of the gods, and i have met unfair exile. the taste will always haunt me. in my search, i become closer, hearing words of origin through my lips. it matters not if blessing or curse; it is inevitable as the snake's slow swallow after a strike. 031231 ... bloodybrit One of the biggest debates known to man. 040101 ... jane you know you're drunk when you're referring to yourself as evolution in the third person. & you know the other two with you are drunk if they are also calling you evolution 040111 ... tyger I just don't see why the theory of evolution and the theory of creationism are incompatible.
