When people accept creation, they stop thinking about how things came about. The fact that something as amazing as the female body exists does not mean that it was created. If it comforts you that someone is in control, all well and good. But evolution exists, is continuing, and will continue, long after humans have become extinct. Evolution explains why we are so similar to other apes, like Chimps and Gorillas, both physically and genetically. It explains why all mammals go through the same processes as women do to have offspring. We are not unique in any respect.
I'll admit creation is simpler, but it is also wrong.

I can't say that your convincing testimony supports the idea of creation, but it does suggest that there could be an intelligence maintaining and sustaining it all. The idea of creation is rapidly becoming a primitive theory to explain the unexplainable. But as science exposes more and more about the nature of the universe... I don't know. I was just doing some reading on leptons and quarks. Makes me feel a little silly "believing" in creation. Sorry, the theory just doesn't hold up under scientific investigation.

You can believe someone created the natural marvel that is man? If this all powerful creator, created us, why did he make so many stupid errors that point to a naturally selected organism that is responding the best it can to environmental influences; assuming proper variation. The lens of the eye in backwards, or seeming so. The inability to eat and breathe at the same time; leaving many to choke to death every year. The vestigial organ of the appendix; that still kills many every year in bursting. That birth thing you speak of. why did this almighty creator increase our cranial size so much that many women used to die in child birth trying to pass the infant out their birth canal. In any civil court in any land such a sloppy job would have been more than sufficient grounds for a liability suit. So it is a whole lot easier for me not to need belief, but be convinced by the evidence of the theory of evolution by natural selection.

That's right, it's easier to fall back on creationism. (what happened to the idea of a God intelligent enough to design evolution?) that's the heart of the "debate", easiness. Yes, evolution, like all science is complicated. Just like the Catholic church burned people for denying a geocentric universe, it was easier than looking at evidence (shadows, line of the sky, etc). It's the same thing. Remember, the flat earthy society still exists. Evolution is one of the best proved scientific theories ever...right up there with gravity, .000000001% error rate. Easy isn't correct. It has been proved wrong since the beginning of history.

Evolving is slow change, creationism is coming from nothing. Either way you'll be accepting the fact that humans have sexual reproduction. But, humans weren't the first notch on the ladder of evolution. Asexual production is in lower level species.

The thing that continues to amaze me in the whole creation belief is the complete ingnorance of FACT. I had this debate so many times with my mother, and every time she would defiantly deny the existence of the fossil record.
We evolutionists have proof of our beliefs - the step-by-step fossils showing each and every step from one organism to another, over millions of years. Creationists work on faith. Which is great if that works for you, but I find it "easier" to believe something I can see with my eyes, touch with my hands, read evidence of in countless books.
I believe in God too, don't get me wrong. But all of what we learn of God is from the Bible, which though being credited as God's book, is actually by the hand of men, translated by men, men who's intents and motives we don't know for sure since they are long dead.

Yes, G_d created man. Evolution is a theory, that’s it just theories, but the troglodytes that wear robes of higher education and say there is no G_d, point to the evidence (There is no hard evidence). The circumstantial evidence is shaky at best. Now what they (PhD’s) do is point to natural selection as evolution? This is not what Darwin intended. Darwin believed in G_d, as do a majority of the great minds of ours and past centuries.
Now the favorite evidence of evolution, DNA, although mapping the genome has been a recent event. It leads me to say the theory of evolution has evolved very little from the days of Darwin.
Now I will explain this to you, my apologies in advance for the simple example but this is yahoo not Yale after all.
Impaler’s theory of creation, G_d made man and women, and they bred (in fact I do believe that all women can be traced to a single mother, through Mitochondrial DNA) not proving evolution but creation, the mathematical odds even over millions of years that a male would mutate, and a female would mutate to matching species for procreation is absurd. In fact, the Y-chromosome in men can be traced to Adam. Or as I believe Noah (since G_d floods the earth for the wickedness of man.) as G_d tells us.
But back to my point, if you finally have a system worked out for building (creating) the earth you are going to use it over and over. The building blocks of G_d is DNA his creation so of course we are going to find it in every living thing, its like legos you can build anything with a little imagination and know how. And because one day you build an Ape and one day you build a Man, they are not the same, they are just built from legos, and this is the only similarity.
Now a lot of peeps who think they know religion will tell you this, but not how or why. The answers are all in the Old Testament. And they do match the facts, of today, as proven by science. Get it and read it but “read it with open eyes” for all the answers are there. Example:
From Wikipedia
(God forms a man "of dust from the ground,"[7] and breathes into the man's nostrils, "and man became a living being." God sets the man in the Garden of Eden and permits him to eat of all the fruit within it, except that of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil,)
G_d is talking to man, in his plain language so man may understand. Of dust of the ground and breaths life into is important. After all man is about 5 dollars worth of dirt chemically speaking, and the breath would be the creation, or alteration of DNA for the man to have life.
It is the arrogance of man, (and his eventual downfall, again) to think only man can manipulate DNA for his own purposes. Which proves my theory, we (man) have created new species in the lab, this is NOT evolution, and corporations even patent these new creations. Man is stupid. Hope this helps.

The bible says God took clay and fashioned Adam. That is similar to what the evaluational theory's has stated. But that wasn't the end of it. We kept changing and became the humans we are today, but one cousin became the apes and another became what is called humans. The theory's of evolution doesn't state that we came from apes, it states we came from a common ancestor.
To believe in evolution doesn't disavow the idea of a God, far from it. It proves how wonderous it was.

"OUR IMAGE" = Father, Son & Holy Ghost. We are created their image reflecting traits and characteristics of them JUST as a man & woman have a child bearing traits and characteristics of both parents. No, GOD created those beings without the same characteristics as us. Certain elements of the DNA chain are different than us.

Some of us evolved from apes into a more advanced life form.
Others of us obviously did not--as in your case.
