I've always believed that God created everything in the whole universe, but I also hear some very convincing arguments about evolution. Which are you leaning to? I just wanna know your views about it! Thanks!

You are really talking about two different things here. Evolution deals only with the development of life on this planet. That is vastly different than the creation of the universe. The earth exists in a backwater of a rather ordinary galaxy that is rather insignificant as far as the universe is concerned. The development of life on this planet has little or nothing to do with the origin of the universe.
There is really no reason to believe that some supernatural entity created the universe when there are perfectly good natural explanations that can account for its beginning. Why go to something supernatural and inexplicable when something can be explained within the limits of physical reality?

Creation and evolution cannot be compared and studied side-by-side. Evolution is an ongoing natural, physical process while creation is the product of various myths. Evolution is not and should not be considered the start of the world. Evolution is a naturally occurring physical process that is related only to how life developed on this planet. It has nothing to do with key physical origin of that life. Evolution cannot happen until life exists.
How was the universe formed? You make the rather normal and commonly occurring error to believe that because the universe exists some physical being must have created it. There is no reason for this belief. Because something exists does not necessarily lead to the idea that something invented it. There are good explanations as to how the universe came to be that rely only on physical laws and have no need for an inventor or creator.
Who invented the universe? No one, there is no need for a creator. The beauty and wonder of the natural laws that encompass the beginning of the universe and its later development are far more stunning than any man-made myth.

well, based on what I was taught at school, Creation and Evolution has always been compared, weighed and studied side by side. I've been taught that Evolution was the start of the world, like a change that erupted in the universe that began life as we know it. But i really believe more in the creation. We can't really explain how the universe was formed or how it even started, right? we can keep telling ourselves that something happened in the universe, but who invented that something?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

If you believe that evolution is part of a story that God initiated, then wouldn't it be creation? It's like saying that Evolution was created by God, initiated by Him?
Thanks for posting a response!
