Let's use common sense: Before you say anything in ur mind just think: The sky, the earth, the stars, the moon, the sun, can those things just create themselves. When u ask someone who doesn't believe in God he/she says evolution, but evolution, HOW?
I don't know abt you, but as for me I would rather go to HEAVEN as stupid instead of spending an eternity in HELL as ignorant. I'm sorry I'm not trying to offend anyone who doesn't believe, but I just want u to think a second time.
I welcome all opinions as long as it's not gonna offend me or any other people reading it.
thanks

I find it interesting that you say you are sorry that you aren't trying to offend, (you must feel that saying that others are ignorant does) and yet you want no comments that will offend yourself. This is the problem with your witness to others. You want to say and do as you please no matter what, yet others are to do and say as you direct, no questions asked. In your whole statement I do not see anything God-like only personal preference. You are not showing love, compassion, understanding not even the common decency to allow others to be as one sided as you yourself are. You are not helping your cause, you are injuring the image of He who created you. You are basking in your own glory not in His. If Christ had been like yourself there would be no Christianity today. You think about it.

It's all science. Evolution really only deals with life. The sky, earth, sun, moon, and the stars don't have anything to do with evolution. Given all the stuff that is in the universe, it is inevitable that more then a few planets will be formed the way the earth is. There are literally more stars and planets in the universe then you could ever count. There are even areas in the universe, many light years in height and width, that are forming stars and solar systems as we speak. I don't find it necessary to say that someone HAD to have started this, or be doing this. Since it can be explained and observed through science, without anyone apparently being involved, I don't find the need to believe that someone has to be involved.
If you want to believe in God, that is alright, and it will never be proved or disproved in my lifetime. But if you actually research the science, you will find all the answers you are looking for, and non of them involve a God. And if heaven exists, I would hope that the prerequisite for getting in is being a good person, not necessarily believing in god.

Evolution only relates to biological organisms. As far as the sky, the earth, the moon, and the sun, you'd have to look to astrophysics. I think there are pretty reasonable explanations for how those things came into being, though.
It seems to me that you really don't understand evolution or physics or science at all. I'm not trying to shake your faith, but I don't think it would hurt for you to read a book or two - and not a christian book, an actual science book. Secular. I think you'll find it very interesting.
One of the great things about science is that there are so many unanswered questions. But rather than just say "Well, we can't figure that one out. Must be God!" scientists hunt for the truth. If everybody settled for the God explanation, there'd be no scientific progress at all.

"I don't know about you, but as for me I would rather go to HEAVEN as stupid instead of spending an eternity in HELL as ignorant." I've got news for ya, and i don't mean this just to attack or offend you. Your ignorance is making you look stupid.
Evolutionary theory does not encompass the origins of the universe. It merely explains how we have such a variety of life on earth and how it came about. It doesn't even address the origin of life. Science textbooks make the mistake often times of combining abiogenisis with evolution. Please do your research on a subject before you ask questions about evolution. The information is readily available on the web and in the library. Just make sure you don't end up at some creationism site... any information on evolution you find there will be seriously misinterpreted.

Of course - If you have an entire planet and 4 billion years or so to work with, a great deal can be achieved, and we've known that evolution and common descent are facts for well over 100 years. Only the ill-educated and the wilfully ignorant still deny this.
It completely baffles me when people say that they can't believe that stars and planets and life can exist without a designer, but that they're quite sure someone who could design and create these things *does* exist without a designer. That's just breathtakingly illogical.

Number one. It is a lot easier for someone to read what you say when you spell correctly. “u” is not particularly cute to most adults and reflects poorly on the author.
However, putting that aside, if you were to ask a person about creation and how it came about or how man came about, they will say something like, “I believe in Science”, and that will shut most Christians up (we will call Christians and God-believers the same for now) because it sounds real good.
That allows them to “believe” in the evolution theory without question. But, if you ask them to explain evolution, they can’t. It is funny…I’ve been doing it for years(asking this). They get all frustrated and will be peeved at you within five minutes. When they say there is no proof of God ask them for proof of evolution. There is none. There is no fossil proof of these transitions they speak of…but fossil proof of everything else! But that doesn’t bother them…Then if you ask them of these little bacteria or single celled animals changed into other things..then how could there be male and female of every species? If changes come from evolution, from cell splitting. Who needs sexes?
Anyway…I have asked the same question and I have yet to hear an answer. Science really has no clue, but they need a non-relgious answer. This is the best they got.

The foolishness that serves you as a substitute for logic and reason is a logical fallacy (a flaw in thinking) known as the "Argument From Incredulity"... which is a sub-category of the "Argumentum ad Ignorantiam" (Argument From Ignorance). It goes something like this: "I can't conceive of how this might have come to be; therefore, God did it."
That does not point to a limitation of nature... rather, it exemplifies a limitation of knowledge and/or intellect. Also, it is intellectually dishonest, since it does not (as scientists do) ACKNOWLEDGE the limitation of knowledge and/or intellect... it merely invokes the fanciful idea of a supernatural creator-entity to manifest the ILLUSION that cognitive dissonance has been resolved.
'Faith' (wishful, magical thinking) is a substitute for evidence.
'Belief' (the internalized 'certainty' that you are privy to the 'truth' pertaining to some fundamental aspect of existence and/or reality) is a substitute for knowledge.
faith + belief = self-delusion and willful ignorance

I agree! Okay, so some people will say the big bang theory. Okay, so what if that really happened, then someone aka God had to create all the stuff to cause that happen. I always wonder when science says well this cell or whatever came together with this whatever, it made this. Well, lets say that did happen just to say, well who then made those cells or whatever that made that thing it made when it all came together? Then of course they will have an answer, but then they need to think who made that? So on and so on. God! I'm sorry, but I can't believe, that little cells or whatever where just here out of nowhere, someone made them! God!

Much of the science behind evolution was and is false. It is a theory that has been taught as fact.
Evolution could not create the simple cells within our bodies, Darwin would laugh at his ideas if he could use an electron microscope or read about DNA.
The idea that things change and adapt is true, why would they not but to create life or all the universe by accident or minor changes over vast periods of time is a fairytale.
I have faith in God, Science like this takes more faith than I could muster.
