In the beginning, God birthed all Creation, a Religious Person invented Religion, whilst the Athiest used Science, to share his personal Enlightenment of Evolution with You!

God is real and Jesus was sent as God's gift for all who receive; religion is filled with man's flaws, the Bible is not; creation really did occur, just look at the fossil record, thereby providing one of many evidences against evolution,(reference the biological 'big bang') which may be an enlightenment to some, especially from people who have been misled by some science educators, who (if they are truthful) cannot supply any evidence to support their claim for evolution, (all scientists believe in thermodynamics which contradicts evolution), whereby many religious persons have no reasonable answers to questions about their faith, which may frustrate an 'athiest' who is looking for answers like you. God loves you, seek and you will find.

God= Almighty being, creator of us all.
Religion= Your choice of a god to worship
Creation= The creation of stuff (the world, living things, etc.).
Evolution= Various forms exist. Micro-evolution is nigh undeniable - it is simply adaption to your environment. From this it is relatively easy to argue that species can grow different. However, what is not a very likely idea is that a single cell grew into a plant and then into a complex muticelluar animal. Functions of irriducible complexity make this ridiculous. Even the simplest cellular systems could not have realistically formed on their own. Its like pouring scrabble letters out of a bag and expecting them to form into Shakespear's complete works first time.
Enlightenment= the time when people started not killing you for having a different oppinion to them.
Science = The study of the workings of the physical world.
Religious person= a person who follows (note: not belives in) a religion.
Atheist = Someone who does not belive in a god

As God is my witness, Religion has taken its wrong turn in confusing the multitudes from Enlightenment between Creation and Science, which as a former Atheist, I used to think that I was a Religious Person, too...
Peace be with you!

Religion is devotion to God when you search for enlightenment after hearing the arguments from religious persons on creation and the theory of evolution from atheists and finding faith.

GOD: The All that Is. RELIGION: Humanity's, aka ego's, attempt to form a relationship with God. Creation: All that is. EVOLUTION: The continuing development of creation. ENLIGHTENMENT: Realizing that I Am a part of and not apart from the All that Is, aka God. SCIENCE: The study of the various aspects of all that is, aka creation. RELIGIOUS PERSON: An ego caught up in the ego's attempt to form a relationship with God. ATHEIST: Someone who chooses, for their own reasons, not to believe in Deity. YOU: ... One with the Creation, and the All that Is. ~~~ And, you didn't ask, but ~~~ SPIRITUALITY: Forming a non-ego based relationship with the All that Is, aka God. FAITH: Accepting known facts willingly without embellishment, or blind following. *** Now, having explained each thing in one sentence each, here is MY one sentence that in turn explains ALL of it at once: There is ONLY One Thing, and I Am That. *** And I realize that all of this is more than one sentence, but I wasn't sure whether you meant one sentence for EACH item on your list, or one sentence that covered ALL the items. But, hey, I tried. And you can, if you want, take out the periods and replace them with commas for one REAL LONG sentence. ;-) ~ Peace & Blessings ~

Creation: Genesis 1: 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Evolution: Man trying to do away with God.
Enlightenment:: 2 Timothy 2: 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Science: 1 Timothy 6: 20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

God, a necessary but ultimatley passe concept.
religion; no longer necessary. Creation; yes. Evolution; relatively hard scientific fact. enlightment; we live in hope. Science: the best hope. religious person: causing more trouble than joy these days. Atheist; prefer agnostic, after all you never know for sure.
Me; a secular ex-leftie sort of jewish humanist.
