there any other theory that accounts for fossils and the diversity of living organisms?

Every religion has its own creation myth.
There are no competing scientific theories for Evolution.

I've seen a couple of questions where you seem to be mixing your terms up a bit. If you are saying "scientific theory of evolution" as a proven law of science, you are mis-speaking (or typing as the case may be.) Scientifically, neither of the two you mentioned have been proven by scientific method to the point of being a scientific law.
So on that, you can have as many "theories" (which scientfically are called hypothesis) as you want to "explain" fossils.
If you want a definition of a fossil, that's easy enough to look up, any dictionary will do. Is your real question more about where did it all begin? If you're saying you believe the evolutionary idea that the universe is eternal and life just somehow evolved from pretty much nothing, then according to the dictionary, you qualify as a fossil! :) (fossil: a person that is old-fashioned, or has outmoded or fixed ideas.)

Both are correct and together account for everything. Just because we understand the process the Creator used in evolution, doesn't negate the Creator's existence. Evolution being the process accounts for the fossile evidence and answers the question of how we got here, but only through seeking the Creator can we answer the question of why we are here.

the rationalization atheist do no longer believe in gods has no longer something to do with the idea of evolution, or the large bang idea. There aren't any gods because of common sense. technology has no longer something to do with atheism. enable me supply an party of a common sense situation. All red products of paper are sq.. Timmy has a red piece of paper. Timmy's paper is sq.. it truly is how common sense works. Now, on to atheism. All gods for the era of heritage were legendary. The Abrahamic God (of Christianity, Judaism and Islam) is a god like quite a few others. The Abrahamic God is a delusion. Logically, there aren't any gods. no longer because of evolution. no longer with the aid of huge bang. because all gods are legendary. And to adhere to precise alongside with what you say, the total "Oh, technology is only a idea," reaction insects the heck out of me too.

Next month, when you see one of Jehovah's Witnesses in their ministry, ask them if you can have a copy of the September Awake it will answer all of your questions on evolution, and who knows it might even be able to convince you there really is a Creator.

This is where the fundies bash evolution for being incomplete, but offer no substantial evidence of their 'theory'. It's just sad.

Yes there is my good friend.
In a time long ago, in an age of nothingness, 1 man was there: Al Gore. He created everything. The internet, jeans, TV, and humans in his image.

Creation is like a virtual reality game. It's just an illusion.

no, I haven't even heard of a modern scientist having a hypothesis that uses an explanation other than evolution.
