I'm getting alot of response to this question, I wish someone would answer my previous question as to where the first living organism came from. If there was an explosion, where did the material that exploded come from?

Why can't people just answer the questions asked to them without answering with another question?

If you want evolution to be in the science category perhaps religion should be excluded from all other categories than religion then? And, since you suggest removing it from the religion category then perhaps you are suggesting that Christians should therefore no longer criticise it?
Science has built a living cell from matter on earth and the building blocks are found in material falling to Earth from space.
Ask yourself a question though - why do you seem so desperate?
If any religion cannot accept science and educated theories it is built on shaky ground. As Christianity is a faith then it's followers who constantly seek proofs or to disparage science must lack that faith!!!!!

Not necessarily. Evolution does not have to be separate from religion. I believe in Evolution. But I cannot explain how, at the very beginning, life got its momentum to get going. As a scientist I know that Energy is not created. But it had to have come from somewhere...and I think it came from God.
The bible says earth was created in 7 days (or is it six, didn't he rest on th 7th?). I don't think the bible is - or should be taken literally. This book was written by man. If you believe that is the word of God, that is fine, but it was still in the hands of man, and translated and reprinted over many years. And one of the first things you learn from religion is that man is not perfect, so how can we assume that the bible is exactly as it was when it was created.
So the bible says God created Man. And I believe that he did, but I think he created a million animals first, and they grew and they changed over time, and they evolved. I think that God created cromagnom (sp?) from an ape, and then neanderthal from crogmagnom, and then man from neanderthal. Let's call our ancestors drafts, and we are the finished product. We are still God's greatest creation - even if we evolved from a previous draft.

They should, but somehow religious people want to dictate what goes on in science... like what theories scientists can or can't have... which science is the devil's work and which is actually real science. I think if religious people backed off of science, where they have no business, then scientists wouldn't have to defend themselves against anything. No one in science wants to say, "your belief is wrong"... people can believe anything they want... but there is no proof in science and no place in science for those religious beliefs.

Hey Genius, Your question can be asked right back to you in a religious context. You are indicating that there must be a "beginning". Well who created God then? Let me guess your response to that. "he has always been", or he is "outside of time". Am I close? Well if that is the case then why couldn't that material that created the big bang be "outside of time"? If you believe something can be "outside of time" then you can explain anything, which is why Christian's made it up.

Questions about the origin of the universe are open-ended, not dead ends. Physicists wrestle with the BIG WHYS and HOWS in a logical and defensible way, while religion does not. We know what we know because of science, not revelation. Let me pose you a question...if there were a Naziism category should only Nazis post Q&A there?

Questions related to Evolution should be in the science category. Questions related to the religious marginalization of evolution or the comparison of evolution to creationism belong here.

They will not find anybody there to insult or to argue with. What is the use of expressing your thoughts to people who already knew what you would like to say? Oftentimes, those evolutionist who join the R & S are seriously trying to challenge those who believe like us and it could also help us look into what we really know about our belief so that we may not just be blindly following what is being fed to us. On one hand you may also be able to convince them that there really is no total contradiction with other's belief because one talks about man's development in it physical form while the second one talks about consciousness development of man in its thinking form.

it's about time in our education and genetic science that we retire the idea that there was ever any verticle evolution to the myth pile and move on to more promising guesses. What is true about evolution can be taught under the category of genetics and we can just abandon this whole area as just one past bad guess.

You're saying that because you think the material relates to science, not religion or spirituality, right?
Then why are you posting this question here?

Most definitely. Evolution is a 'theory' and as such is governed solely by the scientific method.
