If we do exist, there are only two possible explanations as to how our existence came to be. Either we had a beginning or we did not have a beginning. The Bible says, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" (Genesis 1 :1). The atheist has always maintained that there was no beginning. The idea is that matter has always existed in the form of either matter or energy; and all that has happened is that matter has been changed from form to form, but it has always been. The Humanist Manifesto says, "Matter is self-existing and not created," and that is a concise statement of the atheist's belief.
Science has discovered that all of the galaxies are moving relative to each other. Their movement has a very distinct pattern which causes the distance between the galaxies to get greater with every passing day. We live in an expanding universe that gets bigger and bigger and bigger with every passing day. Now let us suppose that we made time run backwards! If we are located at a certain distance today, then yesterday we were closer together. The day before that, we were still closer. Ultimately, where must all the galaxies have been? At a point! At the beginning! At what scientists call a singularity!
If we evolved, then god is a monkey!!! because: "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." Gen 1:27
So, I would say A.

The theory of natural selection, the survival of the fittest species due to natural genetic variations creating a specific species type, the theory of evolution is accepted by the entire scientific community as fact. The only scientific minds who disagree with it are those pushing a religious dogma.
Whether or not you believe there was a divine hand behind it, something that can only be philosophically argued and never proven, is up to your own individual perception and faith.

B, although I wouldn't use God's guidance he got the ball rolling and evolution took form. The world is a conumdrum so simple yet so complex. The only thing science has taught us is that at this moment in time it is way beyond our complete comprehension and understanding. I'm actually a scientist, evolution to me is apparant not only when talking about the origin of humans but even in our lifetime. (ie animal evolution)

There really are no "beliefs". Only the truth. God formed man out of dust and then breathed life into him.
Have you ever looked at a bottle of vitamins? Why would we need all those minerals from the dirt to live if we didn't come from the dirt?
By the way, please do not catagorized the Truth as a "religious belief." It is not pleasing to God.

A and as follows:
1..Jesus believed they existed.
2. The New Testament writers believed they existed.
3.They were made from earth materials and we need minerals in our diet to keep fit.
4. I don't believe evolution can produce a male and a female at the same time that fit together so perfectly physically, mentally, and emotionally.
What do you believe?

A). If humans evolved then that would nulify God creating everything to create after it's own kind, and of course, people would have been able to understand a prototype of evolution (fish become salamander, become lizrd, become rat, become monkey, become chimp, become man). "C)" would be unscriptural, "D)" sounds ridiculous and "E)" I don't agree with.

We evolved over millions of years from simple celled molecules into all the known and unknown living things today. There was no "guider" except random chance and mutations.

C or E: all things arise due to causes and conditions and the origins of humanity is irrelevant in light of the pursuit of altruism, wisdom and compassion.
