So, great,great.great.great....etc.etc.... grandpa was a ROCK? WOW! People can believe we evolved from rock/soup instead of The Creator? Doesn't that sound just a BIT far-fetched (that we came from a rock)
Evolution assumes that man dropped out of the trees 1 to 5 million years ago and became fully human approximately 100,000 years ago. Yet archeological records show civilization arising only about 5,000 years ago (based on evolutionary thinking). In other words, by evolutionary reasoning, it took mankind 95,000 years after becoming fully human to figure out that food could be produced by dropping a seed into the ground!
This article is one of many found within Mr. Malone's excellent book, Search for the Truth. It has been estimated by evolutionary anthropologists that the earth could have easily supported 10 million hunter/gatherer type humans. To maintain an average of 10 million people, spread over the entire plane, with an average life span of 25 years, for the last 100,000 years . . . .would mean that 40 billion people had lived and died. Archeological evidence clearly shows that these "stone age" people buried their dead. Forty billion graves should be easy to find. Yet only a few thousand exist. The obvious implication is that people have been around for far less time.
Another indication of both a young earth and a confirmation of the worldwide flood is the scarcity of meteors in sedimentary rock layers. Although some meteors have been found in sedimentary layers, they are relatively rare. Meteors are easily identifiable, and many thousands have been identified and recovered from recent impacts on the planet’s surface. If most of the rock layers were laid down rapidly during the one year period of a worldwide flood, you would not expect to find many meteorites buried in only one year. However, if the sediment was laid down over billions of years, there should be multiple billions of meteorites buried within this sediment. The fact that we find so few is another possible evidence for the rapid accumulation of the sedimentary layers and a young earth.
Suppose you walked into an empty room and found a smoking cigar. You could assume that the cigar was very old and that it had only recently burst into flames, but the more logical conclusion would be that someone had recently been there to light it. The universe is full of similar "smoking cigars":
All planetary rings still exhibit intricacies which Should Have long ago disappeared.
All known comets burn up their material with each pass around the sun and Should Have a maximum life expectancy of 100,000 years.
The outer solar system planets should have long ago cooled off.
The spiral galaxies Should Have long ago unspiraled, and the uneven dispersion of matter in the universe Should Have long ago dispersed.
Scientists working from the preconception that the universe is 10-20 billion years old have suggested controversial and complicated possibilities for how these types of transient phenomena could still exist but their explanations are based more on faith, not science. The simpler explanation is that these "smoking cigars" are smoking because they are young.

All science is theory. Anyone who says something is a fact because science proves it to be so just doesn't understand the basics of science.
Why can't something come from nothing? If you have something like this it can make sense:
0 = 0
4 - 3 + 2 - 6 + 5 - 2 = 0
You still have something but when put together it equals nothing.

Evolution is an incomplete theory. You can't get information out of chaos, and order is not the same thing as data. Evolution can only work if it has a source of information to 'prime the pump'. That's why I call it a tool in God's workshop.
But in fact, everything DID come from nothing. At least physically. In the Beginning, God [intelligent, emotional hyperspace] created the heavens and the earth. Here's how: [Gen 1:2 and continuing...]

You do - you believe a invisible unseen god thing created everything with a wave of his holy hands. Where did god get his materials from? He just magicked them into being, didn't he? Therefore, even by christian dogma, everything did come from nothing. According to Genesis, god simply thought stuff up and poof - it appeared. If god made the universe, then why is this the only planet capable of sustaining life, by the way?

Another moron... brought to you by Yahoo Q&A. Any intelligent person should have no problem accepting evolution AND the religious story of creation, as both are fact!! It's only the stupid and the blind, like yourself who can't see the truth!

Evolution is certainly factual becuse many cases of speciation have been observed, see: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-speciation.html
This is accepted by virtually every biologist in the world. Disbelieving evolution is the same as disbeliving gravity. There are theories on how gravity works, but that does not mean gravity is just a theory. Same for evolution. The only reason not to accept this as fact would be due to ignorance or fear. Suggestion: open your mind and study evolutionary biology in university!

To scientists - those versed in scientific enquiry, the need for peer review, reevaluation, reflection, testing and skepticism - evolution has been proved beyond any possible doubt. You don't know the difference between the terms hypothesis, theory and fact, which indicates that your familiarity with science is probably little above third grade, and that was probably passed on to you by someone like you. There is a word for people who seek to remain wilfully ignorant.

I am certainly not going to argue science with you.
You, who cannot even consistently form a complete coherent sentence.
I don't claim to know where everything came from, but I do indeed believe that we have evolved into what we are today and continue to evolve as we speak!

You are confusing the big bang with evolution first of all.
Evolution is a fact, the theory of evolution (how it happens) is up for debate. I do not believe in a majik sky daddy poofing this existence into being.

Evolution is a scientific theory just like gravity, continental drift, general relativity.
And no, everything did not come from nothing, that's impossible. Everything came from everything else.
