Do you believe in theory of EVOLUTION or CREATION?

A little taught fact, Even Darwin recanted his own theory and said it was implausible. But they don't teach that in school.

I definitely believe in creation as mentioned in the Bible. Evolution is not a well proved theory, after all science is proof isn't it? There are many questions that puzzle even the scientists about evolution, one for example is why is the fossil record sketchy, and where is the evidence of intermediate organisms, or links, between the major types of living things? Why are the old species still present if they are evolving to form new? How can random forces produce something complex like a cell with DNA, let alone a human being? It requires an intelligent creator which doesn't require proof but faith....

Why I do not believe in evolution. My reasons are many: the main one being that for the last 51 of my 73 years I have known, loved and served the living Creator God who is everything to me. Through my relationship with Him, the experiences we’ve shared together, and my studies, I accept every word of the Bible as God’s Word. Indeed, much which was disputed is now proven true by archaeologists and scientists: and lots of it proven thousands of years after it was written! Considering the case for evolution: just a couple of facts to consider: There are several trillion hard working cells in every person. A cell is so small it takes 250 of them, placed together, to equal the diameter of a DOT. Now, inside the membrane of each cell, swimming around in the cytoplasm, there are about 200 wriggling particles. These mitrochondria are about 1/50,000th the size of a dot. There’s more! Inside each mitrochondrion are hundreds of small spheres scattered along the stalks. Each sphere is about 1/1,000th the size of the mitrochondrion, so each sphere is 1/5,000,000th the size of a DOT. Each of these tiny spheres is a chemical factory with a production line that produces food and energy for the cell. And they tell us we happened by chance? Carl Sagan, who professes no belief in God or the Bible, wrote in The Dragons of Eden “A single human chromosome contains twenty billion bits of information. This is equivalent to about three billion letters or five hundred million words. If there are 300 words to a printed page, this makes two million pages. If books have an average of 500 pages, the information in ONE human chromosome corresponds to 4000 books! And they tell us we happened by chance? The human body is a miracle of precision engineering and production. In the fraction of a second it takes you to read ONE WORD on this page, the marrow in your bones produces over 100,000 red blood cells. And they tell us we happened by chance? These illustrations can be multiplied everywhere we look in creation - at the universe itself, at the insect world, at the vegetation and animal world - the whole of creation. I’m sorry. I could never have enough faith to believe in evolution. IF a tornado swept over a junkyard and created a ready-to-fly Boeing 747 as it passed, I just MIGHT consider believing in evolution. A house testifies there was a builder. A car testifies there was a manufacturer. The world, by its existence, proclaims its Creator: GOD.

hello Earzhan I believe in creation but i don't believe in the fable stories in genesis because recent evidence shows that we were originated from monkeys couple of millions of years ago. and certain bones bad been found already. i know there's a god but the creation was based on the creation of the universe.

i believe in evolution.....

most definatly evolution, if you really look closely, humans resemble many animals.

If I have to pick then its definately evolution...BUT that said, fact of the matter is for me, its all irrelivent....It doesnt matter to me the how's or why's..bottomline is I am here, we are here etc and making the most of our time is what really matters IMO

i believe it is a combination of both. it maybe the fact that i aqm wiccan, I believe in a higher power but science does have its merits in these discussions.

I am more convinced that a Supernatural being created us than we evolved from the species of apes or monkey. That is why evolution remained a theory because basically there is a loop hole on it. Creation on the other hand is based on the bible and faith. Evolution and creation are different concepts and definitions which should not be taken as the same.

As a Christian I believe that God is the creator of man, and as a student of Science, though informally, I believe that evolution is right. I just don't see how the two can be opposite to each other. There are lot of Christians outside of America who don't see evolution as a thread to Christian religion. Can't we say that God created man through evolutionary process if we can say that seed that falls on the ground sprouts to become tree or child that is conceived in the womb is by the act of God?

I believe in both. God is the creator and then the things he created have evolved. In fact until now things continue to evolve. As you can see new things are being discovered, new ideas and new concepts including diseases. So obviously there is evolution. But how has all this started, it was out of creation.

If monkeys were capable of evolving, they would still be evolving.

Well, there have been times when I wake up in the morning and can see a puffy "monkey face" peering back at me but I am for sure a firm believer in God and the theory of creation. Science seems very cold to me and I prefer the warmth of the Bible's version. Even if someone were to tell me that Darwin's theory of evolution was correct beyond a shadow of a doubt, I would still stand firm in my beliefs of God......even if I stood alone!

Hey there Earlzhan. I already responded to this weeks ago but today someone sent me a cute joke that made me think about this discussion again and I thought I would share it with you. I thought it was very funny and I hope you do too. I don't know who wrote it and I am not even sure if I am allowed to reprint it here but here goes anyway: A little girl asked her father, "How did the human race appear?" The father answered, "God made Adam and Eve and they had children....and so was all mankind made..." Two days later the girl asked her mother the same question. The mother answered, "many years ago, there were monkeys from which the human race evolved." The confused girl returned to her father and said, "Dad, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, but mom said they developed from monkeys?" The father answered, "Well, dear, it is very simple. I told you about my side of the family and your mother told you about hers."

Evolution is an adult fairy tale... the whale evolved into the cow.. o really? Nothing exploded and became everything.. oh? Never saw an explosion like that on tow counts.. The whole thing is really quite funny!

I find more logical to accept the Creation as outlined in the Bible. However that I don't deny completely that evolution occured in several forms of life on earth as living beings adapt to their environments. But as to man evolving from apes, to me the theory is ridiculuos. Have fun.

The choice you give us is whether we accept reason and the overwhelming body of facts that support the truth that all life on this planet has and is evolving or if we take on faith that an old Jewish fairy tale with no facts to support it is a truth that is somehow superior to all that we have learned since it was first written down 2,000 years ago. One small correction, there is no theory of evolution. Darwin never stated one and no one has since. The natural process that is evolution was well known in Darwin's day so it is a bit silly to believe that he promulgate a theory about an accepted fact. His theory concerned natural selection which he propose as the driving force behind evolution.

Darwin's Evolutions theory! Just check out what actually it is? It explains about some of the fossils and skulls obtained, which look like man, of different time period. Of course there were differences and similarities between those skulls, but there was no link between them at all. How can we judge it only because of the shape? If you analyze the bone structure of Cow and a buffalo, it will almost look same, you can't say cow evolved from buffalo, Cow is a cow and buffalo is a buffalo. Also, the skull they categorized was nothing special, because there exists lot of different shape faced people around the world, look to Africa and different part of the world, those skulls they categorized was not more than a common human being that we see around today. However they managed to develop different looks by painting their ideas just from the bones. These are all just assumptions and guesses, How one can define it only because of the bone structure? See the Apes and man have many one structure in common, but the DNA structure you will fine very less matching, Just because of the shape nothing going to happen. Did Darwin explain how long it will take a single strand of ape DNA to a human DNA? And the living creators evolved from a chance of environmental change is another absurd. The protein molecule is very complicated, study how easy one can create a protein molecule. Evolution theory is a Theory, not a Fact. There were lot of theories and this theory got famous, because science has nothing else to say about it as of now. Even Darwin didn't completely believe in the theory of Evolution, After making several visits to different islands and part of the world, he sent letters to some Professors and friends that he don't believe in it actually, but it help him to classify the living things. After analyzing the structure of Human Eye, himself wondered and commented it is difficult to believe that the complicated eye evolved from chance and changed due to natural selection! I think, in near future science will discover the truth that all humans were created from a single pair. See what God says about creation. #All Living creatures are created by God (Allah) from Water: Allah created every [living] creature from water. Some of them go on their bellies, some of them on two legs, and some on four. Allah creates whatever He wills. Allah has power over all things. (Qur'an, 24:45) Do those who disbelieve not see that the heavens and the earth were sewn together and then We unstitched them and that We made from water every living thing? So will they not believe? (Qur'an, 21:30) And it is He Who created human beings from water and then gave them relations by blood and marriage. Your Lord is All-Powerful. (Qur'an, 25:54) Water is the main component of organic matter. 50-90% of the weight of living things consists of water. 80% of the cytoplasm (basic cell material) of a standard animal cell is described as water in biology textbooks. The analysis of cytoplasm and studies took place hundreds of years after the revelation of the Qur'an. It is therefore impossible for this fact, now accepted by the scientific community, to have been known at the time the Qur'an was revealed. Yet, attention was drawn to it in the Qur'an 1,400 years before its discovery. #Human Created out of Clay (and of water as above) Your Lord said to the angels, "I am going to create a human being out of clay. When I have formed him and breathed My Spirit into him, fall down in prostration to him!" (Qur'an, 38:71-72) Then inquire of them: Is it they who are stronger in structure or other things We have created? We created them from sticky clay. (Qur'an, 37:11) We created man from an extract/essence of clay. (Qur'an, 23:12) When the human body is examined today, it may be discovered that many elements present on the earth are also to be found in the body. As we have seen, the information revealed in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago confirms what modern science tells us-the fact that the same elements are employed in human creation as those found in the soil. There is no creature crawling on the earth or flying creature, flying on its wings, who are not communities just like yourselves& (Qur'an, 6:38) Modern science now says the birds and ants have society, duty assigned groups and communication means. So... I believe in the One God who created everything, universe, living creatures and mankind. There is no god but God. Peace.

Creation of the bible is just a simple story you might tell your kids. There aren't any scientific details. True creation includes evolution but is much more complex. The entire universe is unfolding just like a tree grows from a seed. It is God's handy work. There is no random chance with creation.

I always believe that we are created by God through his image and likeness. This belief is my guidance in doing good towards to my friends and fellow men.
