Answer 1

Ah, what's to debate...?

Answer 2

Creation vs evolution isn't an issue. There isn't a lot to debate. You can say that a higher power created life on Earth and then, through evolution, life kept adapting itself to the environment it lived in.

The issue comes when you try to say that creation happened exactly as the first chapter of the Judeo-Christian Bible states - that God created all animals as they are now and placed mankind above them. This method has no room for variation even though evidence supports that there has been since then.

Creation and evolution can go hand in hand, but not if you assume that Genesis is at all accurate.

In another note, if evolution had been disproven - which a majority of creationists seem to think it has - then it would not be taught as fact in schools, colleges and universities. Science does not make things up as facts, skeptics of scientific theories help keep things in check by pointing out problems. Scientists don't try to cover up holes in theories.

Oh yeah also, evolution doesn't offer any theory of how life began, that's a different area in biology all together.

Answer 3

Creation vs evolution? That is no debate. For a debate to take place, both sides need to have empirical support. Creationism has none.

Answer 4

There is no debate...look, even evolution has to be intelligent design, if you go back far enough. At some point, there has to be some sort of Creator. Even the Big Bang had to come from somewhere, and even if you suppose a cyclical universe with multiple Big Bangs and Crunches, you arrive at a point where all this stuff had to come from somewhere. But I digress.
Here's the way I see it. The Universe was created by God (you can call Him or Her whatever you wish). He didn't just scoop up a bunch of cosmic goop, form it into a ball and say "Here's the Earth," or make some little statues out of other stuff, breath on them and say, "This is a man, this one's a Golden Retriever, and this one's a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker."
The way I figure, it was more like God was wherever it is that God hangs out. Somewhere along the way, He decides, "I'm going to make a universe," and since God can do whatever He pleases, now we got a universe. Like I said above, He didn't reach into His new universe and make stars, planets, nebula, etc. Instead, He created the stuff that the universe would be made of, and he set the conditions of the universe. Now when God did this, it happened instantly, but in human terms, the thought process would go something like..."All righty then, we got all this matter and energy packed into this teensy weensy little point. And when it blows, and the universe comes into being, here's what it's going to be like. There will be four basic forces (electromagnetic, gravity, strong and weak atomic), the basic building block will be the quark, the universal gravitational constant will be this value, and Planck's constant will be that value (God lives in all times at once, he already know that there would be a Planck billions of years in the future.), and so on for all the physical laws that would govern that universe. Then, it was time to watch the show.
Of course, since God is not bound by our sense of time, He wasn't "playing dice with the universe." He knew exactly what the outcome of all this handiwowrk would be. He knew that stars would form, and eventually galaxies, planets, etc. He also knew that life would form on "x" number of those planets, and that one one particular planet, single cell life would evolve into multicellular life forms, into more complex forms, then climb out of the ocean and through the process of evolution, eventually produce that wonderful life form known as homo sapiens.
There is no randomness in all this. The Good Lord knew exactly what his conditions would produce. Yeah, we evolved, as did all life on Earth, but we are absolutely the product of intelligent design. What's esecially nice about this line of thinking, is that it allows for intelligent life all throughout the universe, some like us, and some radically different. Actually, it allows for a multiverse (multiple universes). Intelligent design would be the "why" behind the universe, and evolution the "how."

Answer 5

There really shouldn't even be a debate... its common sense... evolution is science, creation is myth.

Answer 6

What if the Creation was by evolution?
