Every fossil, every observation in biology points to evolution. There is nothing that goes against it or points to a different way to scientifically explain modern diversity. There is not one fossil or one piece of DNA that does NOT point to evolution. It would be hard NOT to see the concrete evidence, and only those blinded by faith can do this.

Evolution is 100% world-wide accepted fact, including the evolution of man.

There is ZERO evidence for a higher being causing anything. This is why people who are religious need faith, you can't see or study the actions of a deity, by definition. Evolution has ZERO faith and ALL evidence.

Scientists (real ones) have been studying and supporting evolution for over 150 years, and still nothing has pointed to creationism. There is clear links and transitional forms between everything in the fossil record to the Class-Family level, if not Genus-Species level. And this includes humans, which there are several 'missing links' which are well described and studied, people just choose to ignore this. Sure, there are still things we don't know, but that's why science is not stagnent and dead. We learn more every day, that's what happens when you keep an open mind and follow the scientific method.

There are some areas of evolution in which all of the pieces have not been found in the fossil record, but there is no counter theory that has even ONE piece of evidence that can not easily be explained by evolution.

Let me turn your question around, if Creationism was correct and science could definitively prove Creationism (and thus the existence of God), why would they not? That would be the greatest scientific discovery in the history of the world. No one would pass that up to maintain the 'status quo'. There is no conspiracy to hide creation evidence. Anyone who knows real scientists knows they are glory-mongers first. They love to prove others wrong to enhance their own standing. And if any scientist could prove Creation/God, it would've been done a long time ago.

Go to a museum, take a class in biology, go to reputable sites on the Internet (like AAAS: http://www.aaas.org/news/press_room/evolution or http://www.talkorigins.org ) and find out for yourself.

Why are you asking in first place?

Would your faith suffer if you find a lot of people believing different tha you think?

It is not my intention to confront your question, but i really wonder why are you asking.

Well... here is what i think...

5000, 4000, 3000, 2000, 1000, 200 years ago if god wanted to explain to us the real mechanism of creation, nobody would have understood what was he talking about, or maybe just a few would have...

So, it was easier for us to understand the concept of instant creation by an almighty God, than a process that took more than 4000 million years... but in time we we're suppose to discover how the process was like and try to understand it.

Now we have evidence that support the FACT that the world was not created in 7 days, and also there are a lot of things not explained "Creation" that we know existed, we have to agree that the theory of "Creation" can't by taken by the letter.

Other thing is that "evolution" is a term used to describe how the living things evolved in time, and it should be used to describe the change process for the whole universe.

Remember: There is evidence that shows evolution is a process that happens. How or Why the Universe was created from the nothingness is a question that evolution is not supposed to answer.

Only creation is a matter of belief. Evolution is a product of evidence. I believe in a balance of both...evolution is very, very plausible and can be supported with mountains of evidence. Creation, or some kind of X-factor would be the thing that fills in the holes of the Big Bang and how life started in the first place...after that, evolution takes over.

Evolution is the how, not the why.

Evolution...

Life is defined as: some form which has the ability to self-replicate.

The most widely-accepted theory of "creation" or "evolution" is that the first life form was a single RNA molecule, which formed randomly in the prebiotic soup a couple of billion years ago. The molecule would have formed by chance due to the extreme heat and extremely high amounts of lighning strikes which happened back at that time. (The heat and lighning provided enough energy to start the chemical reactions required to spontaneously form RNA molecules)

We see evolution at work in the development of the different breeds of dogs. This process is continuing as we need to evolve dogs that do not suffer from hip dysplasia or which are not so ill-tempered that they are a danger to our children.
The agent of this evolution is 'selection by man's choice'

When man is not as involved we get 'evolution through natural selection', as described by Darwin and Wallace.
In this type of evolution we find that characteristics of plants and animals change with time due to the pressure of predation or their environment.
This occurs with bacteria in the presence of toxins. Those who can cope in some ways with the presence of toxic materials in their enviroment get on better than the others and often become the dominant type of bacteria.

The Theory of Evolution of Species through Natural Selection is one of the best understood of our theories, better even than most of the basic theories in Particle Physics.
It has a very strong foundation and this comes as a suprise to most people who only hear of the Darwin and Wallace ideas when they are discussed on the radio or TV.

Creationism, becuase of this:

1.) Darwin verse Bible

Darwin - "All the species in the world descended from 4 or 5 ancestors in to whcih life was breathesd" So does that mean there was only 8 or 10 animals on Noahs large, large, LARGE, boat???? (two of each?)

2.) Vestigial Organs
Vestigial organs, according to Darwin, are organs that loose their function over time. So if animals and plants have vestigial organs, there would be NO life on Earh!!! But that's not true! (there is life on earth) This is due to a logical principle called IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY - the principle states that if one organ is removed or looses its function (like a vestige), the systems neccessary for life will not function, hence there would noe be any life.
Darwin says that the wings of a flightless bird are vestiges. If that's so, all birds today would be able to fly! (contradiction here!!!) Darwin, did it ever occur to that the wings of a flightless birds cannot carry such a heavy bird??! (ostrich, kiwi, chicken)

3.) No evidence in FOSSILS.
There are fossils of animals and plants that still exist today. Is there any sign of change? No! That falsifies Evolution!

4.) The Finch beaks? They change?

Darwin says that the Finch beaks adapted to eat their prey. Did it every occur to Darwin that they are all different species, hence allowing for different appearances?!

Evolution has tons of physical evidence. Creationism has none. Creationism is not science.

I believe in evolution because there has been a ton of evidence which supports it, while there has been relatively no evidence to prove creation.
