If there is a God, and if we were indeed created in his image...then I believe it is possible that his 'image' is, and always has been, evolving....just like us, platypii, turtles, snakes, worms, cats,dinosaurs, iPods, Yahoo. Evolution isn't anti-God...it's anti-ignorance.

I believe that there are beings in our universe that have the sole job of searching for inhabitable planets. They found Earth and seeded the life here at the single-call stage. Then, they tended to the "garden" until it was on the right path. Then they stepped back and watched natural evolution take place. Now as for humans, there was an extra boost that needed to take place so some other races in the universe mated with the neanderthals, which in turn, genetics made a leap into what we are today. They had to do this because it would have taken billions of years to develop a mind that was capable of knowledge and undertanding. We would not have the capacity to ponder on things like the spirit, God, and things like this. We could suvive but not be creators ourself. And this was all checked out through the creator being "God" before it took place.
Anyway, that is what I think to be the most real answer that I have found yet.

I don't have any "beliefs" on the origin of the universe. I recognize that there are different theories, and I try to be informed about them. But how the world came to be has no effect on who I am as a person. If the Bible's creation story turns out not to be historically true, how does that deminish the rest of its message? It doesn't. The creation of the universe is probably the least important issue in the Bible.

I, for myself, just cannot know how the universe was produced. I just know that there exist different oppinions about it. How can I judge which one to be correct? I just can accept that there are different oppinions about the history of the universe as there are different kinds of plants, beetles, birds, human races, planets. I know that what I learned at school and later from news, studies etc. are theories, attempts to illustrate aspects of truth - and nothing else. So, I have no belief on creation at all except that what we are aware of must have some reason of being there. The longer I think about it the longer I ask myself, what theories and beliefs about things are neccessary and useful for to live in and with it?

The scientific account can be tested and proved in an experiment tank. There are years of excavation and research that all point to the same conclusion. It really isn't very hard to believe at all.
I don't really know about magic windows in the sky that let Rain in from outer space and other biblical lore...

Yes, I believe in evolution. Simple. I don't believe in the hocus pocus story of the Bible which really is NOT meant to be taken literally. It's a metaphor written by mankind. No God. No Devil. No heaven or hell. I evolved as we all did. We intitially came from space in the form of DNA in a comet or meteor. We began in the oceans, crawled up on land (millions of years ago in another form), and then eventually evolved from there into our current form. The Bible is merely a fantasy and again, NOT to be taken literally.

Big bang + evolution. A lot of the gaps have not been filled in yet, but it still makes more sense to me than creationism.

I don't take the seven days as literal. I do, however, believe that that there is some power much larger than I; let's call it God for convenience's sake. How about this -- God's time is not our time. And why are you worrying about this question? Aren't there so many more immediate questions in this life and on this earth to address?

i believe what science has proven. Evolution. For those who say it is creation not evolution i simply reply how do we know what God created? Perhaps he created something that evolved. Faith is not necessarily bad... however blind faith is.
