Rather thsan try to pretend that you care I use the word evolution, just try to answer it.
I use the word creation purposely and it serves the purpose well.
I know none of you can answer it, and judging by your repsonses you can't even try. I know exactly what evolution is , beside being false. The question is do you any of you poseurs?(look it up)

The point is evolution explains nothing.So you have nothing. The big bang another that explains nothing but just pushes the real question back and back and never deals with it.You will always go back until you hit something that is existence itself, and that is eternal, uncreated, power,life, God.Deal with it. No natural or contingent thing can be a cause or explanation of itself.

Let's look at some of these answers now, first, Judy_r8/Alyb/Scott M say that evolution is a process, well, then who/what started the process and what came before that, and before that etc
mypublicident believes that first of all G-d needed to be created. Think outside the box and consider that there is something greater out there than you can concieve based upon the limits that exist within this universe. Just to let yhou know, you do not know all there is to know, regardless of how much education you have.
de bossy one most of us understand that evolution suggests that certain processes have "evolved" but what about instincts. Say for example the instinct which governs our eating or not. Say the process for eating hasn't evolved, or the desire of a man for a woman (sexually) . . . figure that out.
AngryHippy . . .yes G-d could have started the evolutionary process, but He might not have had as much fun, let's see you create a child and let it go and grow. Might work, to some extent in the animal world, but on the human level. No, G-d did a lot more then just create a process.
novangelis . . . apparently you do not realize that evolution is constantly being debunked, and that by leading scientists. Where pray tell did the process of knowledge come from, and reasoning, and the intellect. Look at communication processes alone, the eyes, ears and mouth (let alone hands) all intertwined along a nucleic path leading to the brain. No computer is more complex then just these basic human functions.
don . . . look around you and tell me of a house which has no beginning, nor any human being, nor any tree, nor your favorite pet (either now or as a child). Let me tell you sir, just as in these few examples, as surely as this world began it will end.
Let us take a look at a couple of points. Each and everyone of us exists in space and time. That space and time has a given set of rules by which they each individually operate. Change those rules, and in an instant everything falls apart. It is in G-d, by the power of the Holy Spirit that all things hold together. In fact, everything that is and has ever existed, was created by the Word of His Power. Consider an artist, a motion picture producer, a parent, composer, a writer. Each of them is a creator. Does any of their creations define them, or make rules for them? There are different rules (systems) along which each performs their tasks. Those systems or rules do not necessarily apply to the creator, except in the process of creation. No creation defines who the creator really is in their entirety.
There is actually a much greater question that must be addressed, both here, and in other questions along this line. Do any of the other answers truly believe that their answers are going to stand up in the ultiamte court of Heaven, before the ultimate judge. When you folks stand before G-d will you give Him the same answers? Do you realize that G-d will not be interested in but one thing, and that is did you believe those who tried to teach you the truth. He will specifically point to each of you and have you recall that there were individuals such as Socinian F who cared enough about you to pose a question such as this. You all may want to discredit me or others like me. Possibly you may consider me as "unlearned", well, let me share with you that my B.S. degree was earned at Portland State University in the 1980's. Part of my credits included Science as well as Social Science, Business et al. Do you consider me as unintelligent? Nothing could be further from the truth. When my parents emigrated to this country (I was 6) it was me that they turned to to translate between our native German language and American. Check out my apologetics website, for one, and other websites which I've created. Read, if you will, Lee Strobel's "The Case for A Creator". Mr Strobel was (emphasis on was) an Athiest, and he is now an apologist (defender of the faith). In the book he interviews leading scientists on various aspects of evolution.

I have nearly caused riots with this...
"Could not the tool of creation be evolution?"
The scientific proposal of 'big bang to human' oddly enough follows the steps laid out in Genesis. I doubt that the writers of the day had a knowledge of geology or astrophysics. Also 7 days is much easier for a person of the era to understand, than to use dates and spans covering billions of years.
It seems that my answer confused the asker.
My point that I thought was easily understood is:
God starts a series of events, and with strategic nudges brings us here. Creation takes place over time and allows the life forms to evolve into what we see today. AND the mutations continue. Life and its DNA are not static.
I believe that the spontaneous generation of all that is, has a Devine origin. It sounds as though you are rooted in the 7day school of thought. In this case it seems that you agree with the notion that the universe is merely 15-20,000 years old. Then how are there fossil and stone samples going back into the bilions. After all, to an immortal what is a million years? An instant, a blink, or a moment?
If this is the case, and YOUR universe is less than 20,000 years old. Then that means God erased an existing world, it's creatures, and its humanoid residents. How compasionate.
I think more highly of Him than that.

Your meaningless and mindless rhetoric is no match for facts. You attack that which is demonstrated with facets that are not demonstrated in support of ideas which are disproven. Evolution is a consequence of reproduction. The fact that not every detail of how life arose (abiogenesis, not evolution) is known does not, in any way, disprove the process.

Do you know what Evolution IS?
Abiogenesis is the creation of life - including the species.
Evolution is simply what happened after the origin of life - the origin of species (their evolving and such).
It was something bound to happen. It wasn't created. Think about it.
If I drop an egg from a certain height, will it stop in mid-air or keep moving until it crashes? By your logic, what created it to keep moving? (Not what caused it (gravity)... what created it to?)

Did God create God? If not what did, and what created that?
Really, evolution doesn't even rule out God, I don't see what the big fuss about God versus evolution is. God could create or influence evolution, evolution could result in God, ect. Evolution is simply a natural process.

Evolution... So the spontaneous creation of an absolute supreme being is more likely than millions of molecules that eventually ended up as us... Hmmm, ever take a fricking statistics class?

Evolution is a natural process. You can't create a natural process.

Evolution is a process, genius. You don't need a creator for a process to develop.
