I believe in creation because 1) I believe God created everything and everyone for a purpose, and 2) evolution is farfetched and i would never want to believe that particals "banged" together and created earth, to only "evolve" in to what we are today. Being a decendant of a monkey is not someting i would easily believe.

Seems to depend on who you are. If you grew up being taught the creation story as an absolute truth and you haven't studied evolution then I'm sure it seems pretty far out. Some people have a dislike for the idea we didn't always exist as we are now, that we have evolved. So for them it is easier to stick with the creation story.
For others who have studied evolution or work in sciences, I think it becomes harder to accept the creation story literally and evolution is easier to believe. Then there are the creation scientists who have studied evolution but I think only with the agenda that they don't like it and want to disprove it. I keep reading their stuff because I want to have an open mind and not blindly accept anything but so far they are churning out biased, junk science for the most part. Mainstream scientists, majority of whom do believe in God and aren't against religion, believe in evolution. So for those creationists the idea of altering their world view in light of changing knowledge is harder than believing in evolution even though they have studied it.

I think both are pretty easy to believe in. Evolution, while only a theory, is easy to see where the idea comes from. If you have a belief in God, it is very easy to believe in creationism.

Evolution is the easiest to believe. It takes no faith, it takes no trust, it does not challenge one to think outside the box.
It is as easy as if you have never seen grass before and someone told you it was green and you say, 'oh of course it is.'
To believe in a God who created the world takes one outside the box. Atheists will call it an imaginary land that theists drift to, but I say the atheist who has never seen grass yet trusts another that it is green is the one in imaginary lands. However, his imaginary lands are only as big as himself. The Christian, if you insist on calling it imaginary, is at least playing on a field the size of the universe.
It takes no effort or challenge to believe in evolution because something as complex as the evolution of life has been simplified to the point of an illogical, superficial, and leisurely false belief in what one has not seen, and which is vastly different than what evolution must be if it is true.
Most people swallow a drop of water from the sea and feel they understand and can trust in the ocean. Such is the majority of those who trust in evolution.

Evolution is easier to believe, more scientific and logical.
Atleast there is evidence to support the fact that evolution took place, evidence which can be seen and prooved.
Creation is a bunch of crap given out by people who wanted God to be the solution to everything. I believe that if we are more broad minded we can accept evolution as a fact of life.

I believe both occurred. Creation is not easy to believe by design. That is why faith is so important. Evolution makes perfect sense, scientifically. With God, all things are possible. So I don't see why they can't coincide peacefully. I believe He created the universe, and it has evolved as well.

I have been looked down upon by many people because I believe that science (evolution) and religion (creation) go hand in hand. God created us in his likeness. There are not any specifics in the bible that say how he did it other than making us from dirt. Why can't science and religion coincide?

guy doesn't say technology created existence! technology isn't one in each of those element that ought to create some thing except hypotheses and theories and information. The non secular view of creation is more effective instantly ahead to understand - for instance, the stellar accretion of the dirt and asteroids that make up the earth, the geology of four.fifty seven billion years is not common to understand 'god made the heaven and the earth' thats basic. of direction, some thing being basic doesn't propose its actual. Why no longer ask it really is actual? easily it truly is the actual question. I propose you need to bypass to a chemistry type and be suggested there are ninety 2 clearly occurring factors - perchance it really is not common to understand so that you're going to bypass with the historic set of four, earth, air, fireplace and water. precise for you. do exactly not assume to bypass. *Oh and evolution did not culminate in some thing. we are no longer the point of evolution and we are no longer a ending element. perchance previously you determined which became more effective instantly ahead to 'remember on' (even if as I say, you need to ask your self as a substitute it really is more effective precise) you need to be taught a touch evolutionary idea.*

It depends on who you're asking, the person who is easily satisfied or the one who continues to ask why? In a majority vote though I'm sure it will be evolution. But haven't we yet learned our lesson from taking the easy way out? I.E. Robert Frost-The Road Less Traveled.

Nothing in this world is easy, you are going to have to take a leap of faith somewhere. Creation theory has several holes that can make it very hard to be plausable, but evolution suggests god doesn't exist. You have to make that leap somewhere, but which one? My theory is that if you dig and research both subjects then you can decide which one works for you,or you can create your own theories like I do. It works for me.
