I'm confused, my science teacher or my friend? , My science teacher said that we evolve from some sort of a Ape , and the adaptation , survival , facing natures severity learning skills and love to the children has bring us to this stage. My friend told me that we are made from clay balls, and a another friend told me that we are from Adam and eve. I feel like its better to study the easy way. So I can just simply write the bible content to my science exam. The god is poerfull and he made the world in 6days . end of story!!!

First of all let me say that I am a science teacher and a Christian. I don't think that the "scientific" view of creation and the Christian view have to be opposing views.
2 Peter 3:8 says:
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
If God is outside the realms of time and space then what makes us think that he is held to their restrictions. Is it not possible that we are given an order in which God created the Earth rather than the actual amount of time that it took. Moses wrote Genesis and he definitely was not around during the creation so this leads me to believe that it is quite possible that this theory could be true. There are also many theories on evolution. All I can say on this is that I do not know how God made us, but I do know that it was not an accident, and that my knowledge of the things that God has done and will do will not be complete while I am here on this earth. The important thing to know is not how God created us but instead to know that He did it.

In the beginning there was God and He created all. People have a hard time with this truth because they don't see God. I say we do ..His blessings are overwhelming and this world was put together to work in a natural, surviving manner. Only God could have done that. All of it happened in just those 6 days and when children were born from Adam and Eve they were human. Apes have apes. Fish have fish. Cats have cats. dogs have dogs. Humans have humans. It isn't the end of the story, it is the beginning!!! Pass the test with a good grade, always do well in your studies...just remember your Lord in all ways.

We came from Adam and Eve. God formed man from the dust (clay) of the ground and breathed life into him. As far as the test, maybe you will need to use the book answers. This is why I liked teaching at a Christian school. We got to tell the truth.

In school you are tested on the information given whether it is true or not. It is up to you to determine what you believe. The easy way is to let someone tell you what they believe and you accept "their truth" without verification of whether it is true or not. Of course this has no real value for you because when push comes to shove your left hanging.
In the bible a "truth claim" from God is that if you will seek Him with all your heart, mind, body and soul God will reveal Himself to you. If you actualy test this truth then you will know the answer for your self and it won't be dependent on someone elses opinion.

My advise, if you can is to avoid the bible at all costs. It will only serve to confuse you and give you a completely inaccuarate and misleading account of the earth and its creation.
There is an opinion that children should not be exposed to all this superstitious non-sense, untill they are old enough to make their own decissions about it. At an age of 18 or 21 years old.

It depends on your outlook-personally I accept what has the most viable evidence to support it so I accept the fact of evolution. If other people want to immerse themselves in fantasies and neglect learning about the complexity and beauty of the natural world it's their loss.

He will fail you if you do that. Spout His theory back to him and remember that it is theory and not absolute fact. Also as to time remember God says the days of our lives are a blink in time. His time is not ours. It is Ok to believe one way and know how others believe at the same time.
As for me, I believe that God made the big bang and that evolution is His design.

Maybe your teacher has a point. Does she resemble King Kong?
