Tax evasion and a PhD don't mean a thing. What does paying taxes or having a piece of paper have to do with creation and evolution? Evolution is just a religion, if we all came from a speck of dirt, where did the dirt come from? No evolutionist can answer that, and no creationist can tell you where God came from. They both exist by faith. The fact that we find millions of fossils is proof of a flood. Most of the things we see and observe link to creation and disprove evolution. Something explodes and forms a perfect universe with perfectly round planets and perfectly designed critters . . . evolution can't do that. If Really Bites wants to believe he came from floating snot that came from a rock, that's up to him, and in his case he might be right, but he can't prove it, that is his religion. Believing in the big dud is no different than believing in God, you can't prove either one, it's all based on faith, and if evolution has to count on tax support and lies to try to prove something they can not, I think the choice is obviouse, there is a Creator, we did not come from a speck of dirt by random chance. Spontanious generation was proven wrong years ago.

Creationist have the benefit of rhetoric, propaganda, and a scientifically ignorant society enabling their unfound claims to be believed. Science is not bad. Religion is not bad. Assuming there is a war or conflict between the two is bad human behavior-it serves neither God nor knowledge. God is energy. This energy may not exist in a perpetual, magical, spiritual medium that everyone pressumes in their imagination. To forgoe long explanations I shall point you in the direction of some good materials. If you lack in scientific understanding, try reading Bill Bryson's "A short history of nearly everything." He is a writer that sought to understand science more and how it has played a role oever time. He breaks stuff down so it is accessable to everybody. Also, go to your library or blockbuster and rent Carl Sagan's "The Cosmos" dvd set. It answers all your questions and more. His books are equally well. I have read about Kevin Hovind; and while I appreciate those with strong convistions and faith, but his display of rationale are no where close to being fair and balanced. We may come from nowhere, I tend to think that "nowhere" that splurge of energy is what God is. That doesn't dismiss science, or the Big Bang, or evolution. Science is just saying that "man" didn't just "pop-up" because a old wise man in the heavens willed it so. Once you have a conceptualization for what matter is, particles, chemistry and the way physcis gives way to chemistry and chemistry gives way to biology the idea of "nothing" and "nowhere" will change it's meaning-it's not how it seems even though those are the words we use. Plus, in episode two of Cosmos, Sagan shows how basic chemicals did brew to create simple organisms. That is how life began. It grew from there and still does-you just can't witness it because the time scale it operates on is way longer than us. Learnign the facts for yourself is the best way. I invite you to do so. Please look into the materials I suggeted and then ponder it some more-what can it hurt?

Hovind. HAHAHAHAHA!
So how did that tax evasion convction turn out for him? And did his fake PhD from "Patriot University" help him, or did that university have to print him one for a Law degree too?
It's a whole lot less improbable for it all to have started with a densly packed ball of energy than for a turtle to have brought mud up to make the univrse out of. Or do you believe one of the other myths, like the one with the old Jewish god that killed his son? No matter, all the myths like that are equally silly.
Also, if some sky daddy made the Earth by speaking, did all humans come from his bad breath or maybe a spec of his phlegm? And don't say you don't think we came from phlegm, because that is what you think.

What you describe in the first paragraph has nothing to do with Evolution, it is the creation of the universe, which is Cosmology. I have never heard of the "law of biogenesis", so I looked in my Biology textbook and they have never heard of it either. That is two strikes for you. The last sentence (I guess you call it a sentence, even though it is incomplete and there is no punctuation mark at the end) refers of "some Kent Hovind", without saying who or what Kent Hovind is. Given the inaccuracies I have cited above I would have to say, "Strike Three, you're out!"

I think your baseline assumption that time is linear is wrong. Linear time doesn't make sense, really. Things in nature don't repeat, but everything is cyclical. Our universe clearly came from a big explosion, you can tell by looking at the red shift from planets and other solar systems moving out. But I don't think something necessarily came from nothing, if time is cyclical things can indeed always be there.
I do believe in evolution, and that we were formed by simple chains of amino acids that gained an ability to crudely replicate. And that all the sources for life came from water or rocks.
To me, this makes a lot more sense than to have god randomly appear from nowhere and then create everything from mud.

love kent hovind ! excellent ! how did we come from a rock or sludge? or goo or whatever they think we may have come from ! possibly even another planet blown in by a comet! look out we are aliens! lol evolved ! i dont think so if we evolved then u could theoretically do this! take a nice expensive swiss watch apart put all the pieces into a paper bag . now shake that b ag for a million years or more. now open it is it going to be a watch ? yes it was when it went in right. is it going to work? no ! why not that million years should have put all the pieces togather and it should work fine ! well thats how evolution works ! and no i didnt come from rocks either ! i came from the dust of the earth and god breathed life into us! thus a creator! would you like some more proof life didnt evolve and earth isnt a fraction of the age they "think " it is ! email me ! anyone can !

The tiny, densely packed ball was created when the universe got so big, it's own gravitational energy made it collapse into that ball. The universe goes through this cycle over and over again. It explodes, collapses, explodes, etc etc. So it was always there. It's like asking where did your God come from?
And we don't believe we came from rocks. Abiogenesis has been replicated in experiments.

I'm a scientist. The more I further my scientific investigations the more I reconfirm for myself the proof of Gods existence. My answer for where the densley packed ball of material that went thermo-nuclear and started the whole process came from is: God of course.
