Disregard what holy kenny says. I have put basically the same question up twice and he has tried and failed at answering it both times. Not answering it correctly mind you, simply answering it would suffice.

Intelligent Design would like you to believe that God Created mankind to Evolve. It's basically a cop-out concocted by the Church to try and get Creation Theory accepted into schools. It's downfall was Fundamentalists were unwilling to concede evolution in any form and scientists say the existence of a Designer is not required for evolution and an all-powerful Intelligent Designer is non-scientific in nature.
(edit)
Okay, I'll be more direct this time. If you mean the Biblical/Creationist God, then Yes, it is impossible. Young-Earth Creationism has been proved wrong in many fields of study.
If you mean the abstract God as a powerful force that started the big bang or the initial spark that began life on Earth, then No, it is not impossible.
I used I.D. as an example because it's a recent case where a compromise was attempted to fit God and Evolution together, and it was unilaterally rejected by BOTH sides. I thought you would have gotten that in my initial answer, I guess I thought wrong.

These two are not mutually exclusive. It's possible that a supernatural being or beings created all of existence and is/are working through evolution and other natural processes.
But, whereas there is convincing evidence that evolution is a real, ongoing biological process, the only indication that a supreme being exists is that many beings have believed it to be so and many people continue to believe it.

Absolutely not. God created the universe. He/She/It had some form of plan. Undoubtedly, this plan, which is beyond us, could easily include evolution. Man, as a species, has evolved in the past 10,000 years. He is taller, for one thing. Other beings have obviously evolved, from viruses to various animals. Both creationism and evolution are correct, depending on when you are talking about.

Existence of god has nothing to do with evolution. The problem is a belief that the bible is 100% true in every verse.
Many believers don't look at the bible that way, only those that do have a problem with evolution.

God exists. Evolution is a theory. I believe that God created us, if there is some evolution involved, I do not really care...The main thing is to accept the Creator= the Maker=the Designer.

Yes! The God of the Bible tells us that there was no death and suffering in anything living creature considered "nephesh" (basically means that plants are not included) before sin. So evolution, which takes a LOT of death and suffering, could not have possibly happened before the first sin. Since the first sin was from a human couple, Adam & Eve, they could not have evolved from anything without death and suffering. So, no death before sin means no evolution with God!

Gods were asembled to continue the folklore and stablish the assail on those evolving yet attached enough to want input on their existance at given moments with other thoughts in their minds. Remember the fables? gods are to be mentioned in those soon, you will see this.
Those perfect bellied action figures are a delight to those who were accused of being less than perfect for believing not in gods´existance, and then died and decided they had it all figured in a secluded and damp place, something to be believed from this savage heroes. We all love them.

That depends on the God you believe in. Lots of people believe that God created evolution.

To say it is impossible, one must have the authority to tell God by what means He may operate. That seems perilously close to blasphemy to me. Of course, today's creationists are fine with blasphemy as long as they can keep a majority in the House of Representatives.

It is impossible for natural biological creation to occur. Since this can be shown, then God exists.
