God or Darwin's theory of evolution??

Darwin himself said that the theory of evolution was impossible, which is why I can't figure out why it is still being taught in our schools as fact. I guess it is just easier to teach that than for people to admit that there is a God. I think that most of the hang-ups here are caused by the fact that the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven, which I truly believe, yet most people want to feel that they can make it on their own. Darwin's "theory" is still being taught because in order for them to acknowledge that we were created by God, as the Bible teaches, they would have to accept that Jesus is Lord and Saviour, and that there are some things that Jesus said were wrong and that we shouldn't do them....

Anyone who thinks God created this world in 6 days worries me greatly. I know there was a movement in the South to disprove evolution but luckily common sense prevailed. Common sense and that thing called science. Why is it so hard for people to think that possibly God is behind evolution? Anyone who fundamentally believes the Bible as 100% fact is very naive as in the first 2 chapters of Genesis itself the world is created in two different fashions. The Bible is not a history book, it is a book of faith and should not be misinterpreted the way it commonly is.

I beleive what there is actual physical evidence for. There is no evidence that humans were plonked on earth by a diety, there is lots for evolution.

I'm not sure about either. I was raised Christian, but I had too many unanswered questions and had too many doubts about putting faith in "God." It's also hard for my mind to wrap around the fact that we all evolved from tiny cell organisms billions of years ago. :/

You could even take it one step easier - do you choose to be related to an ape or to the wonderful image of God? Even if I wasn't christian, I'd still choose God!

i beleives darwin's theory ofevolution. Because scince can prove it. But i am still beleiving in God.There may be different theories but there is no possiblity of evolution of life without any external interfearance. Hindu mythology relates the origin of human species with the Dasa avathar of Vishnu. That says life first originated in sea water in the form of a fish then have gradually developed to human beings through 8 steps.

evolution makes a lot more sense. especially as you can see it happening all the time. if you look at things like dog breeds and so on, or even the differences in people originating from different climates of the world.

I by no means what so ever am one to claim to be religious. I would say I am more on the spiritual side. That being said I believe that we have all been here before- time and time again until we have learned all that is needed to learn before entering a relm of higher existance in yet another world yet unknown to us. I believe there is a higher being out there in control- whether we call him God, Allah, Jehovah or any other "name" so to speak. As far as evolution vs. God. I believe a higher power is the reason for our existance here on this earth and will be for our next life as well.

For one thing, Darwin's actual theory was not that humans evolved from apes. I do believe in evolution though. I don't know what we humans evolved from, but I don't think that we were placed here by a god, especially not the god spoken of in the bible. I'm not saying there isn't some higher, powerful being somewhere in the universe, but I can't bring myself to believe in creationism. I had a teacher that once told me that she believed people shouldn't take the bible so literally. Perhaps Adam and Eve were just symbols for the gradual formation of men and woman. And obviously it took billions of years for the world to form, as opposed to the Christians' 7-day theory. But there's far too much evidence in evolution, and I don't believe in fairy tales.

I believe that God created everything. However, His days are probably at least a million years long. How else to explain the fossils and old human remains found? The Bible says 7 days because that's what people understood back then but it could just as well have said seven eons. I think that God created the basis of life then sat back and attended his other creations while this planet developed and flourished.

I believe God created the universe and everything in it including human beings. Darwin's theory is very suspect because evolution should be continuous even though he might argue that the time frame is too short for us to notice any difference. I BELIEVE there was a BIG BANG!! This was the presence of GOD appearing in the scene! He is the Alpha and Omega, Beginning and the End. All Glory be to Him forever and forever more, Amen!

I believe there is not much stupid person that believe the Darvin's theory nowadays, And I believe if that Darwin guy stated that theory in present day, he must be considered as person who live with mental problem, and non of future generation wil discuss about the stupid evo theory again. Let think that, if we are from ape, and what species the ape originally from? And why there's still much ape nowadays? Why don't they (those remaining unevolved apes) joint in that evo to become man?

What is your difinition of creation?

I believe in both God and evolution. I believe that God or the Higher Power (which ever you prefer) started the whole source of life on Earth. Then we descended from monkeys as Darwin said. That's how I reconcile my belief systems. I wish people would stop thinking of this as a binary issue.

I don't believe in anything, as that is what scammers use to cheat the gullible. Give me proof and I will look at it carefully. Ask me to believe or have faith, and I'll dismiss you as a waste of my time. I accept reality and nothing else.

Yes, I have thought about this too and it seems you are right. Not because of any facts I have but from the same conclusion of why we are not evolving into a more advanced species? Animals have not either. I think the subject of religion is a matter of faith and what your experiences with studying your chosen area of belief...as you believe you shall receive.

My answer to the question of whether I believe we were created by God, or evolved as a consequence of natural selection would be - yes. I see nothing exclusive in either idea.

We evolved from ape-like beings. I just don't understand why some people find it so difficult to accept this. Archaeologists, anthropologists, biologists, sociologists and geneticists have devoted their life studying this, yet some people choose to believe biblical fairytales. Or maybe some people are just too proud to admit that we came from primates. The truth hurts sometimes for some people, that they would rather fool themselves.

Human DNA is constantly being tampered with by Retro Viruses...so I think "Evolution" is possible, though not how Darwin Theorized. That's why it's theory, though. If making universal law was THAT easy, science wouldn't advance at all. What I hate is when people make it seem like God's actions are "Simple". Do you think a god that created an almost ENDLESS universe and possibly many other universes would work in a simple way? Everything about our bodies in tremendously complex. From our genetics, to our nervous system, to our high brain functions. We, humans, still don't have a grasp on what makes up the other 99.9% of our universe. Yet, people are so quick to make it seem as god works "Simply". Like he created order in our universe for no apparent reason. In my opinion, those who strive to learn more about how our universe works...how our WORLD works are closer to knowning God than anyone else. At least they don't make wild assumptions on God's mindset or how he likes to do his work. Creation or manipulation. (No, I don't mean manipulation in the negative sense.)
