from what i understand evolution is basically natural selection which DOES happen. isn't this argument like two people arguing "coca cola is brown" and "i like coca cola," or is there something i'm missing?

smarterthenthou: you do realize your name implies knowledge, and you used "then" when you were supposed to use "than," lol. just remember "then" is when and "than" is comparison. i liked your answer though =)

No, your wrong, they both are talking about where life comes from. Evolution and the cell theory says that life comes from existing cells, all the time and no matter what. There is no room for God or a Creator.
Creation says that cells were created in the forms they are today (meaning humans were humans, ducks were ducks, etc. with some adaption [wolf-domictic dog]) basically. It says life had to be created by a Creator. Evolution says no such thing...and so they contradict one another and thus you get the whole argument.

More facts prove Creationism. Such as, when something evolves from something, whatever it evolved from isn't there anymore... If we really evolved from Apes, why are they still around? Another thing that disproves evolution is this: Take boards. Go outside and throw them in the air. What happens when the fall down? The land in a pile, and don't make a house, or whatever you were trying to acomplish. So how did the universe just blow up and make everything? It doesn't make sense... but, on the other hand, people will ask where God came from... to me, it doesn't make sense, but if everything else works about Christianity and the Creation theroy, then I'm gonna back it.

Organic evolution is the theory that the first living organism developed from lifeless matter. Then, as it reproduced, it is said, it changed into different kinds of living things, ultimately producing all forms of plant and animal life that have ever existed on this earth. All of this is said to have been accomplished without the supernatural intervention of a Creator. Some persons endeavor to blend belief in God with evolution, saying that God created by means of evolution, that he brought into existence the first primitive life forms and that then higher life forms, including man, were produced by means of evolution. Not a Bible teaching.

Yes---there are many people in the world who feel that they have to discriminate and set themselves above and apart from everyone else. The somehow think that it denigrates God if he used evolution rather than just bringing everything into being with a "Word".
No one has ever even answered how he could have created anything on the "first day" when there was no day---the Sun had not even been created yet! So what was a day?

The religious community assumes that the Theory of Evolution is incompatible with the existence of God.
This is for those who think that religion is not compatible with the theory of evolution.
creationist especially get ready to have a eureka moment!
Ask yourself this one question, "Did there ever exist a me that was a child?"
I am a man now, however I remember a child that used to call himself by my very name. Does that child still exist? Philosophically I guess I can say that part of that child still exist because at one moment in time, the man that is me today was that child that existed many years ago and the man that I am today still remembers many of the experiences and thoughts that that child had. I am however physically no longer that child.
How can it be that I am still me if I was all of those very different forms at those different points in time?
From infant, to child, adolescent, to adult, my thoughts change and I grew to understand my existence more and more.
If God could allow such dramatic transformations to occur within one individual life form, who is to say that God would not choose to allow dramatic transformations within an entire species of life forms.
Maybe we are meant to evolve into something that can eventually understand God.

Science has no argument with religion. It merely says, anything supernatural cannot be proven, therefore we limit ourselves to the natural world.
Religion takes the position that science must conform with religious edict, and that supernatural effects or causes (gods, devils, miracles etc) can and have influenced the world.
Unfortunately for science to accept these phenomena, it requires proof - and given the nature of the claim - proof to a high degree.
Religion says you just need faith - and an appropriate terror of hellfire - to accept them
Rest assured however, if there were any solid, scientific, proff of religion's claims, they would be trumpeting it to the skies! Unfortunately there is none.
you're analogy about coke is a good one though.

Evolution contradicts the story of Creation in the Bible if read LITERALLY. As there are groups of mindless sheep that believe that the 1769 English translation of the Bible is the true word of God, so if page 1 is wrong, then their lives in ignorance are worthless.

maximum suitable. Your professor would not look to understand evolution o.k.. to initiate out with, you are able to circulate added back then unmarried celled organisms. there is extra ordinary varieties of life. and you're maximum suitable that the scientific commencing place of life is abiogenesis, no longer evolution. And the huge Bang is thoroughly off subject rely to evolution. perhaps you need to write the paper with the huge Bang, abiogenesis, and evolution. And go away a large area of your paper to describe why those are separate theories that in simple terms combine whilst attacked by making use of creationists. additionally, none of those theories say issues "lined up" to assist life. it relatively is like asserting water molecules in simple terms "line up" to create a crystalline shape whilst frozen.

That's a pretty good point. Except it's like one person saying "Coca Cola is brown" and the other one saying "I like Sprite, so you're wrong".
Unfortunately, the latter folks have decided to attack the United States, beginning by preventing science from being taught in science classes.

Evolution goes against the concept of creation and vise versa.. if we evolved from primordial goo/ooze than there is no way god created us in his image. so they have alot to do with each other
Faith has been around for so long most peolpe are afriad to be with out it. they think humanity can not survive without it.
