girlwonder - Ever heard of the word faith? And its reasonable. Something does not have to have "proof" to be reasonable.

good on u, God bless!
if we are randomly mix together & some how by natural random selection pop out onto the earth, we can randomly do anything, no morals & value needed. kill off anyone we regard as inferior (natural selection). no need right or wrong ideals needed to guide us. to evolve means we don't have to be accountable to a creator. however the fact human have morals, values, dreams & aspirations which differ us from animals show its not evolve from slime but created to resemble an intelligent God (creator).
food for thought. peace, man

People do not identify with your beliefs for the same reason you do not identify with theirs. I wonder the same thing about people who believe in God - how can you be so blind to how ridiculous the idea is? The answer is because that is what you believe just as I deeply identify with what I believe. We cannot see our beliefs through the eyes of others, so we cannot understand why others hold other beliefs when ours seem "sooo obvious."
My ideas on a creator are that, after millions of years, you'd think things would have worked themselves out fairly well.

Hey professor, what's your science background?
Why is it obvious? What's your evidence? Just because science can't pin down every detail of life on this planet, doesn't instantly prove the existence of a deity. And arguing that you can't understand how people got here without making up a story about it, and claiming that there's some deficiency on my part, because I don't just fill in the blanks with the first thing that comes to mind, doesn't exactly add up to sound argument. Try doing some research into evolution from legitimate sources.
There's a wikipedia link below. Check out the external links at the bottom of the page, too.

Seriously, if you're going to put another creationist post up here, could you please put something with at least a little thought and reflection. I could just as easily say that it's sooo obvious that not all of this complexity could have come about at once, that it obviously must have refined itself over time. It seems logical that the things that work better will stick around while the things that fail will fade out. Of course you wouldn't believe that though since I haven't put anything out there to back it up.

Well obviously it was created, what isn't so obvious is by what. Your simplistic notion that some magic being waved his hand and....poof....there it was is absurd and the stuff of fairie tales and mythology. I think the ones that are blind are the ones treating the bible as some kind of history book instead of what it truly is....a book of christian mythology

Yes, our pastor was talking about this at church today. He talked about the Golden Plover. It's a bird that is born in Alaska, but instinctively flies to Hawaii. Season after season they fly there, without ever having been there before. How do they know? How do they survive? Amazing testimony to Gods' creative design.
The following quotes are for "dzbuilder" below:
Wernher von Braun (Pioneer rocket engineer) "I find it as difficult to understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science."
Arthur L. Schawlow (Professor of Physics at Stanford University, 1981 Nobel Prize in physics): "It seems to me that when confronted with the marvels of life and the universe, one must ask why and not just how. The only possible answers are religious. . . . I find a need for God in the universe and in my own life."
Stephen Hawking (British astrophysicist): "Then we shall… be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason - for then we would know the mind of God."
Roger Penrose (mathematician and author): "I would say the universe has a purpose. It's not there just somehow by chance."
Paul Davies (British astrophysicist): "There is for me powerful evidence that there is something going on behind it all....It seems as though somebody has fine-tuned nature’s numbers to make the Universe....The impression of design is overwhelming".
Alber Einstein: "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."

Why are some ppl so blind regarding how it is sooo obvious that they have no scientific knowledge at all? It clearly is the sign of willfull ignorance. Thats all.

Have you ever looked fractal images from The Mandelbrot Set? They are amazingly beautiful and complex. And they are created from just the repetition of a very simple equation.
Complexity does not require something even more complex to have created it. That is completely obvious to me.

It had to have been created in some way, perhaps. But atheists aren't really pro-evolution nearly as much as they are anit-religion. US atheists, at least, despise Christians for not being like them, and use evolution to brow-beat them. But other than that, I see where you're coming from.
