Evolution doesn't say POOF we were fully formed into these complex beings. You are taking what you believe (that we were created as we are now) and applying it to evolution. Look up a definition...no let me do it for you: In biology, evolution is the process in which a population's inherited traits become more common or less common over successive generations, usually measured in terms of the genes that encode the competing traits (known as alleles). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution)
Yes we are complex and yes it is hard to believe that it all happend by accident...that is why that assumption just isn't true. I want you to count to a billion 2 or 3 times. Now think that is how many years evolution has taken for us to get to where we are now. When you apply thought it isn't so hard to believe.

Evolution is a process of adjusting to circumstances. Why would anyone think that God did use Evolution to create us? The Bible does not claim to be a history of the world. Only the History (genealogy of Jews from Adam to Jesus)
In the Beginning meant in the beginning of the story and genealogy of the Jewish blood line; not the beginning of the Earth or the Beginning of the Universe.
Proof: All the names in the Bible are Jewish names. It is a Jewish genealogy. It is as simple as that.

No. Evolution is about the replace in allelic frequencies of a inhabitants through the years- in different words, how existence differences through the years. It has not something to do with how existence were given right here interior the first position. Like one of those vast quantity of right here, you confuse the great Bang (that's physics), abiogenesis (that's chemistry), and evolution (that's biology). Abiogenesis is about chemical synthesis- and the first replicating "existence" wasn't a cellular in any respect. Please analyze abiogenesis (which has a large quantity of assisting experimental information) to comprehend the distinction between it and evolution, and cellular theory that you misuse.

You're wrong. It's much easier to believe that we just sprang into being created by some all powerful being that we have no proof of existing. Why anything else would require educated, rational, independent thought.
The group of people you are addressing will deny anything that conflicts with what the bible says and their religious leaders tell them. It is a historical fact that unless evidence contrary to their beliefs is so overwhelmingly undeniable, they will deny it as idiocy or heresy.
*edit - a1cbrandy, is God telling you that Adam was Created from dust and Eve from his rib? Or was some book written by MAN, and taught by a MAN who claims to teach the word of God the source of your vast knowledge.
Regardless of which side of the argument you are on you are still only taking the word of a MAN. The question is are you going to believe something that if you had the ability to view objectively (not personally) sounds as childish as the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, or Greek Mythology. The Bible (yes I have read it, I was baptized Lutheran and even received a Religion Badge in the boy scouts) contradicts itself, as well as states many things that modern man now knows to be impossible. When read objectively it sounds just as incredible as any Greek, Aztec, Egyptian, or other ancient cultures creation myth.
The amazing thing about Christians, Jews, and Muslims is that they are full of contradictions and oxymorons and don't even realize it.

Thank you for posting this question. I was just shaking my head at the willful ignorance and downright stupidity of some of the posters. Worse so, the adult posters! The ones who condemn evolution when they don't even know what it is. (You always know these fools from the "Why are there still monkeys?" question that will be in there somewhere). It's very frustrating to think people have been gifted with a brain but refuse to use it. Sigh.
Worse the ones who mock evolution with "I haven't seen any apes turn into humans lately! lol" As if they think evolution makes things *poof* into other things. And this idea of magic is laughable to them while they maintain that the sky daddy *poofed* them into existence. Oi Vey.
Edit : "Why is this so hard to understand by so called smart people?" Because making up fictional magic men to poof things into existence is taking the intellectual easy road. No thinking involved. Playing 'let's pretend' does not make it true.

The theory of evolution is an assumption.

I would take God telling me something happened his way..then take a humans word telling something happened their way. Why is it so hard to believe God made Adam out of dust, Eve out of Adams rib..and the rest came from sex? Why is this so hard to understand by so called smart people?

Where did the first population of cells come from?
