Darwinism, neo-darwinism or some other form of evolution theory and based on what?

Most of you state evolution as fact! Why are the scienmtists you trust swinging more and more towards Creation? Are you smarter than them?

The Bible made me an Atheist. Science made me a Believer.

I do not believe in scientific evolution.

Here's why:

Look at a spider. A spider builds a web to capture food and survive. But at some point the ancestors of spiders could not build webs. They didn't have the organs for it. Then they slowly over time developed the very organs which become so important for their survival?

how???

Did they have some forknowledge of what they would need to be? Is it pure chance?

Pure chance to develop organs to build nets and the ability and knowledge for that construction is so far fetched as to be laughable.

Only through design can evolution be explained.

And if there is a design, then there must be a designer. That designer can only be God, by whatever name you choose to call him/her.

That's the great thing about a scientific theory, you don't have to stick to a specific version; it is added to and strengthened by further evidence.
I still don't understand why religious fundamentalists have such a difficult time with evolution. Mankind has been making productive use of evolution throughout recorded history. If a farmer wants to breed chickens with plump, meaty breasts, he just gets the plumpest chickens from his flock, and only allows them to breed. After a few generations, he gets noticeable results in the breast-meatiness of his flock. This is an example of evolution through selective breeding, and it has been going on for at least 4,000 years (which is before jesus).
Given this evidence, why is it so hard to believe that over the course of millions of years, a race of ape-like creatures evolved into humans?

I trust modern scientific theory. In my opinion, the nomenclature of evolutionism, darwinism and neo-darwinism is nonesense, because it makes a suggestion that the theory of evolution is philosophy or religious belief.

I agree with cybergeek on this one.

I once asked if evolution is true, then where did language come from.
Most responses talked about grunts and moans. One even asked if I have ever heard of Apes learning sign language. Yea, I've heard of apes capable of learning sign, but it is still not spoken words or statements. In order for that ape to learn how to sign, it had to be taught by a more advanced life-form, humans.

The same is with people. We did not just evolve language skills. We were taught or designed that way. After all, name a primate that learned sign language all on his own with no higher intellectual help and then I may believe. but until then.....

There's no believing evolution, I'm starting to sound like a broken record here... You either accept or don't accept evolutionary theory.

I accept the current evolutionary theory accepted by science.

Its not a belief its a scientific theory with proven facts. It evolves too just like the people who think it sounds most plausable. Unlike your creationist mumbo jumbo!

Evolution is a scientific theory, not a philosophy. It's open to change with the advance in scientific discovery.

Where are you getting your facts?? I'd really like to know, send me an email or magazine article you're getting the facts that more and more scientists are turning to creationism. I might learn something!!!

Evolution is not something subject to "belief" any more than gravity is. It doesn't matter what I (or you) 'believe', facts is facts.
The minutia may be open to some debate, but that's another issue altogether.

I believe if we were to answer that question with unresputable fact, the religious construct would deteriorate and many lives would be lost via suicde, war, et cetera. Leave the questions and live life, regardless of belief.
