i know Darwin is wrong. The reason his theory is accepted by many is because of media manipulation. Darwin theory has been rebutted by many great scholars. My advice is to read the work of scholars, christians, jews or muslims. one of the most interesting article is the one made by Daud Yahya. he is a muslim but his argument seems universal.

If Preacher is going off the rumor that Darwin recanted on his deathbed, he should do a little research. The woman who made that claim was lying and was no where near Darwin when he passed, his son was there though. Darwin's daughter came forward after these rumors circulated and let the world know that there was never a recant, that he never decided to believe in God when faced with impending death. The Internet is a lovely thing. Search 'Darwin Recant Snopes' and you will get the whole story.
But to answer the question, So what, really. I'm not religious, but I do believe in God. And it had to start somewhere and in my book what ever that driving force was that started the whole thing is God.

I say that religions are not meant to be science lessons or even accurate history lessons, and that problems arise when the proofs of scientific rationalism are applied to religious doctrine or religious texts.
Science and religion serve different purposes in our lives. The "truths" of myth and religion are more like the intuitive insights of poetry and art than the hard facts of scientific rationalism. They are a hand pointing to a gate; they are not the gate themselves.
BTW, only the three monotheistic religions start with the particular creation story of Adam and Eve.
Other religions have different creation stories. Most of these other religions treat their creation stories as they ought to be treated; as a way to illuminate a mystery, not as actual recounting of factual events.

No. None of the religions are wrong. The story of Adam and Eve is a symbolic story. God doesn't expect us to rely on such stories in order to understand human origins. Humans have evolved over millions of years.
I do believe there was a Prophet named Adam who lived about 6,000 years ago in Mesopotamia, but He wasn't the literal first man.

yes, well at least the ones that stick with a literal interpretation of their creation myths. Darwin was a christian for most of his life, but as his work progressed his belief was slowly undermined. it was after his study of parasitic wasps that he finally made the final break with his conclusion that no truly loving creator could create such a vicious life form and mode of living. and the story that he recanted on his death bed is just that, a story.

Darwin's Evolutionary Theory doesn't mention religion. Darwin did in fact renounce his religious beliefs after one of his children died.

I see that most people have never studied Darwin you all in agreement with him. Do you realize that he recanted evolution in favor of Christianity before he died he had changed his mind on his theory and decided that creationism was correct? At least look into these things before you post questions. Or all of you saying that creationism is right? I would have to agree with that.

You could say the same about each of the major and minor religions, can't you? If there is only one right religion, that means that there are a lot of wrong ones. There's going to be a lot of room in Heaven, and Hell will be crowded.

Darwin is based on theory, not fact. Adam is based on God's word. You personally can never go back in time to witness for yourself whether evolution is real or if God created Adam out of mud.... so either way, it's a matter of what you're willing to believe... in other words, it's all about where you're willing to put your faith. I personally believe in Adam as being the father of all of humanity, may peace be upon him.

Darwinism would probably say there WAS an Adam, and science certainly says it all started with one Atom.
The chances that a "litter" of Homosapens occurred from dozens of whatever came before it on the same day or in the same year are astronomical.
Occording to the concepts of evolution one day, probably just ONE homosapien was created with a complete set of genes.
Now genes don't always evolve or mutate in unison.
Let's take the now out of favor theory of MAN from APE (and science no longer totally backs this concept, it tends to favor a separate and distinct spieces now). There are something like 3 - 6 million GENE changes between the us.
In some instances NEW genes appeared. In some instances OLD genes vanished. In some instances existing genes altered.
You don't believe that happened all at once do you? One day an ape with 6 million gene changes got born from two apes with 6 milliong different genes.
These changes would have to occur in small groups or one by one.
What would happen is the more HUMAN APE would be born, mate with a OLDER ANIMAL APE and produce offsping with dominant and ressesive genes. Some of the offsping would be HUMAN APE, some ALMOST HUMAN APE and some ANIMAL APE.
This process would have to go on, with eventually HUMAN APES mating with other HUMAN APES, with the new genes very dominant.
So under your DARWIN theory MAN was mating ANIMAL to create the human race.
Eventually the GENE changes were so great that this was no longer possibly. The HUMAN APE, who was now maybe 40% human, could not longer produce offspring with the ANIMAL APE and HAD to mate only with other HUMAN APES.
That's how evolution works.
But the LIKELYHOOD is that there is always an ADAM or EVE, a single MORE HUMAN APE with the new gene changes, not a group of them.
I don't know all that much about litter genetics, so one would need to read cases of MUTLIPLE TWINS and IDENTICIAL TWINS who have human genetic changes. Such as SAVANTS. Do BOTH twins have the same SAVANT gene? Can BOTH twins read a page of numbers for 1 second and supply you with an answer or does only ONE of them have that ability.
Taht's how you determine the possiblity of LITTER similarities.
But, of course, humans and apes does give birth to litters, but multiple babies doe occasioinally happen in humans, not sure about apes.
The same thing with atomic evoltution.
microseconds after the big bang protons, nuetrons and electrons were expelled and formed and quickly bonded into the first ATOM, which was Hydrogen.
They say most of the hydrogen in the Universe was made somewhere between the first 5 minutes and end of the first year after the bang.
It always starts with one.
When the Amino acids came together and formed out of inorganic chemicals and then made the first whatever (microbe, bactrium, amoeba) it probalby just made ONE.
The likelyhood that TWO or TWENTY or ONE HUNDRED appeared at exactly the same moment is astronomically bad odds.
So the concept of a SINGULAR (Adam), which by the way the Big Bang was made by a SINGULARITY (one) is highly likely and even science clings to this SINGULAR concept.
The first SINGULAR human was also incapable of direct reporduction so another human eventually came from the FIRST human (the rib or evolution) that eventually caused HUMANS or THINGS in general to REPRODUCE by SEX instead of cloning or division or hermaphditeism.
Remember, under the theory of Evolution you were initally cloned, became a HERMAPHODITE (someome who has sex with itself, like a flower) then became a DUAL SEXUAL reproducing entity and HIGHER forms of life mated with LOWER forms of life so the MORE HUMANS mated with the MORE ANIMAL until there were enough HUMANS to mate with and NATURE stopped allowing HUMAN ANIMAL reproduction by evolution.
That's your lineage under science.
Under God, you came here much as you are today and never mated with animals, except by choice nor never was an animal, except by choice.
In order for anyone to dispute me they are going to have to prove the "cabbage patch" concept that one day HAIRY apes all over AFRICA for some strange reason gave birth to nonhairy humans and threw them out of the nest and that forces the HUMANS to mate with each other for APES wouldn't have them!
That just isn't in the Darwin concept. YOu don't "just happen" magically.
That's RELIGIOUS!
