I think I should draw a chart here:
Hydrogen+Oxygen+Carbon+Nitrogen > Organic compounds > Unicellular organisms > Multicellular organisms > Monkeys (or if some evolutionists don't agree then common ancestor) > Homo Erectus > Homo Sapiens (humans).
As to the Billthedude's point, if we take god out of equation and we still do not know the beginning of the universe, its true, we are not sure what produced that initial big mass of matter. But my question would be that if we can't believe in evolution simply because it sounds too incredible that man evolved from simple organic compounds then how can you assume the existence of god, someone superior to man, with omni-scient, omni-present and omni-potent attributes. Is it not a contradiction in terms not to believe in someone inferior simply to substitute him with a fantastic and incomprehensible superior?

Evolution also breaks the law of thermodynamics, the law of biogenisis, the fact that DNA ONLY COMES FROM DNA, AND TO CREATE A PROTEIN METABOLIC MOTOR YOU MUST HAVE ANOTHER PROTEIN METABOLIC MOTOR.
Protein metabolic motors- allows a cell to draw energy from the outside environment to perform mitosis and meiosis.

You're right -- ID fails on its own premise because of the very point you're presenting. Again, I do want to emphasize that getting rid of God and all other god-like concepts doesn't solve the essential mystery of existence. I used to think about this over and over and over again when I was a kid, first trying with god in the equation, getting to a point where it was unsolveable, then taking him out, and leading to the same place. My friend (who is atheistic like me) and I had a conversation recently and he thought by stating the scientific model and dismissing god that he had solved the problem (he's extremely scientific). I then showed him that the same problem exists and he had an experience (for the first time) of not only the unsolvability of this but -- very importantly -- its implications.

i do no longer clarify those issues - i'm an atheist, no longer a scientist. in case you like actual solutions, pass to the technology section - what you're asking isn't a non secular matter. yet i'll furnish you this lots to start with. human beings did no longer evolve from monkeys and the beginning of life is a distinctive technology to evolution. yet then I doubt you're asking because of the fact which you easily opt to be attentive to... it is okay to declare "i don't be attentive to". it is not okay to fill in the hollow with a fairy tale.

Man and monkey shared the dinosaur as a common ancestor. The flying dinosarus became monkeys and the land dwellers became man. Then God took a rib from man and made woman. Look it up!

Your question is nonsensical. Absolute truth is known only to God, what makes you think he can't make a fish from the primordial soup, or a man from an ape? If you ask me, man and ape just ain't that far removed from one another. What makes you think God couldn't come down here right now and squash us all like little bugs if he wanted to? Settle down, take your meds, and stop playing with yourself.
perfect timing: Good one!
MaY: There are monkey-people running around all over the place. Their main habitat seems to be the political arena. Have you ever looked at our prez? I think his mother looks like a lizard.

I look at it this way.
The best supported explanation for species is evolution. It could be wrong (not f*cking likely), but it is far more evidence then creationism.
In fact, creationism has ZERO evidence, and is not considered a scientific theory. It isn't even on the same level as evolution: it barely qualifies as a hypothesis.

I have an even better question. How come there aren't monkey-people walking around all over the place?

"Humans evolved from monkeys" is a childish oversimplification of the theory of Evolution.

Why not believe in both? That's what I do, and it works for me.

Twist, we are not retarded. I would love to debate on a point we both agree on....seeing as you seem to think all Christians are creationists. Who's the dumbazz now?

My monkey mama came from a land loving fish.
