One of the biggest misconceptions of our society is that one must choose a side to be on. Why couldn't the process of evolution be the very way in which God created, and continues to create, our ever-expanding universe? If you take a look around you will notice that we do not live in a static environment, which is to say God is not done creating! There are far too many things about the universe that we know nothing about, why choose a cut and dry answer?

Both. Evolution evolved through creation. Calendars are only an invention of the last 2000 years. Who's to say that it only took God 24 hours to create day & night. that could have took 24 million years. It is very obvious if you study the old testament that measurement of time is not what it is today. Look at Noah for instance. We was supposedly 400 years old when God asked him to build the ark. The days of creation follow the rules of evolution.

Side? Why does one need to be on a side? Creationism, loosely defined, is the belief that God created everything. Evolution theory postulates that all the life we see on Earth today are descendents of earlier, more primitive live forms. I see nothing mutually exclusive in these two concepts.
My personal belief is that God created everything, and the mechanism He used (and is still using) to do it is natural selection and evolution. The assumption that God created everything is not something proveable by science, which is why it should not be included in a *scientific* theory of how life got here and developed into its present forms. As part of a personal worldview, however, it's fair game.

I believe creationism. At first I debated evolution, but I know that humanity could not have evolved from rocks. That's what evolution's process supposedly began with. Rain on rocks to make the right chemicals, which just magically formed a cell, defying the universally accepted Cell Theory (just for fun). Supposedly this cell gradually turned into a worm, which from a worm to me I just cannot see without doubt. When evolutionists always tell people that they are misinformed that man evolved from apes, it is pointless because it is much easier to believe man evolved from a gorilla; we are more than ninety percent identical. However, worms? It just doesn't make sense.

I believe in Evolution.
The bible is a great work - but it is not meant to be taken literally.
Science has given so much proof. Anyway, the more science discovers, the more I believe there is a God organizing it all because it is too magnificent to have all happened by chance.
Anyone see the movie "inherit the wind"? Just saw it. It shows a trial in America of evolutionists vs creationists. I reccomend that people see it.

Creationism is not a theory. It is religious bigotry on steroids.
It has no basis in observations, makes no verifiable predictions and offers no consistent framework for know facts. This is very convenient for creationsits because, when they come across irrefutable evidence that contradicts their pet theory, they then say "yes, thats right, God created the world, then he created <
It has all the intellectual rigour of a game of playground tag. It is not even worthy of consideration.

I think they could both be right, to a certain extent. Who are we to say that God's day is the same as an Earth day, when He created the entire universe? And who's to say they were exactly the same amount of time? I think something had to start the Big Bang--it could very well have been God's will. And maybe we weren't God's first draft--He could have experimented with other forms until he was satisfied with us (and who knows--he might not be satisfied yet).

I lean towards creationism because evolution can be proven impossible mathematically too easily.

I favor evolution because if things didn't change continuously or as they should, then the world would be in some sort of freeze or everything and everyone would remain the same.

Why is it that you and other Evangelicals cannot accept the fact that some people believe in both?
I have been a scientist my entire life and believe in both.
It does not have to be either way, people who insist you cannot believe in both are just wrong!
