You seem to be under the mistaken impression that belief in evolution and belief in a Creator are mutually exclusive - that is, if you believe in God you cannot believe in evolution, and vice-versa.
However, many who believe in evolution believe that there is a divine being who set the process in motion; and not a few who believe in God believe he created the process of evolution to ensure the survival of his creation.

So you're saying that God only needs to exist at the initial moment of creation to set everything in motion. There are certainly some people who believe this. But using God to explain the creation of the first cell only creates an additional problem: who created God? You're not actually explaining anything, you're just attaching a label to the part you don't understand and calling it "God."
The universe is filled with complex hydrocarbons that came about through non-organic processes. Check out Jupiter's moon, Titan, for a good example of this. The first cell didn't just pop into existence whole. It's a lot more likely that an existing molecule got "broken" in a special way that allowed it to replicate itself, and billions of replications later enough random errors were introduced that we were left with something similar to a virus, and then a bacteria, etc etc.
The universe is a much thornier problem, and it will probably be quite a while, if ever, before science can offer a good explanation for anything that happened before the Planck epoch. The main problem is that time doesn't really exist before this moment, so it's hard to put what happened into any human terms that make sense.

Okay, if God exists, who created god? What is god? Perhaps a single cell organism.
Evolution is a relatively simple concept that most Christians cannot grasp. Clue: it has something to do with natural selection of some characteristics and not others.
Unlike Christians who have not read anything written by Charles Darwin, I have read the Bible and just love Exodus 22-18.

Oh, man. Evolution can't explain how these two came together. Space doesn't have air, so there's no wind. And in order for both pieces to connect, there has to be a force. I mean, what do they say now? "Mylar winds pushed the particle into matter, and then the big bang happened..." If you set a rock down in the desert, and without wind, (& we're talking about a strong wind, ok?) It's not going to move. Hell, it's not even going to twitch You can stare at it for hours and even get down on your knees and blow. It's not going to move. But if pick it up and throw it, it's going to move. Why? I was the force, the motion that set it in place. So evolutionist can say whatever thier crooked lips and forked tongues will say. Until they come up with a rock solid, concrete, "I told you God didn't do it" evidence, they can kiss my a**

the self-replicating molecules that bonded to together had a better chance for "survival" than self-replicating molecules that did not. So, eventually out of the primordial soup larger and larger "cells" were formed. The "cells" with the most diversity and specialization within were most successful, and eventually a cell had many specialized parts. Then, cells clumped together to make simple multi-celled organisms, such as sponges (which are basically many single-celled organisms that work together to pump water through the sponge they create. That is the hypothesis I am banking on.

You can believe in evolution and creationism. The Bible says that God created man in His image. Last I checked, no one knew what God looked like. Only six days to evolve? Who knows how long six days was in God's eyes? One day could have been billions of years.

good question, but if adam and eve were true, humans would have died out within the first several generations, think about it, all humans would have to be the product of inbreeding which would have started with their children and gone on till birth defectiveness or sterility ensued.
besides incest is apparently another sin of the bible.
oh and how do we have different races of people, with very different genetic traits???
and wouldn't we also all share much more common DNA????
Now I'm not a micro biologist, but any cell consists of a nucleus, like any chemical element, and if that nucleus is exposed to the right light, temperature, moisture and chemical process is it not reasonable to assume the more likely scenario that life was created in a perfect instance/?? rather than hundreds of thousands of years of inbreeding?, also consider that 99.9 percent of life forms on earth are carbon based (which supports a chemical chain reaction)
and before you all start quoting scripture etc, i dont want to disprove gods exsistance, i just want to prove that the bible isnt the be all and end all, and that it is far to open to MISINTERPRETATION.

God created all organisms. Evolution describes the process He chose to use.

ok evolution isnt proved truly...n i dont believe in it........everythin was CREATED by God....
the universe is totally systematic n ofcourse our logic says that for every thing thr is a Creator....humans r the most wonderful creatures..how can ppl say that v just evolved? thats stupid..
God created n thrs every reason to believe that.Ive made up my own theory its called theory of "CREVOLUTION"
in reality every organism was created...but God took it step by step...first atoms ..molecule...then alot after..virus then aquatic organisms n then terrestrial...similarly the adaptations advanced n functions increased...
this step by step stuff dint happen itself...God did it..and since every new creation was a bit more better...thus it was crevoluted from the former....God created n it was more advanced.
And for ppl who think thr aint no God...well...wot can i do? But think ...be true to urself..............................have u eva prayed? have u eva been in a bad situation?...evn the person who DOESNT believe in God so strong that he hates evn the word...well..when he's in trouble he WILL PRAY TO GOD N SAY THAT PL HELP ME N IF U DO >>>I'LL BCUM A BELIEVER!!!

Abiogenesis. There are non-living, self replicating molecules that predate single celled organisms. those evolved into DNA and eventually single celled organisms.
The Big Bang I guess could be attributed to creating our galaxy.
We are able to evolve because of reproduction.
