No. Satan doesn't exist. God and Satan are just superstitions.
However, your disbelief of evolution based on antiquated myths is laughable.
Please, try learning something of the subject before ridiculing it, and you won't learn anything about evoution from junk Creationist websites.

Life forming spontaneously is called "abiogenesis" and is NOT evolution - you have your concepts mixed up.
To say that scientists have not created life in the laboratory yet doesn't mean that it won't happen. They said the same thing about cures from embryonic stem cells, and at least one cure has now been discovered from them, so they can't use that argument anymore. There is a flaw in this argument anyway - just because it has not happened yet does not mean that it can not happen. We didn't use to have airplanes, either.
Evolution does not say that life was formed without a creator - evolution says that we probably came from a common ancestor. It says absolutely nothing about the existence or non-existence of a creator - that is a matter for religion and philosophy, not science.
To say that there are no signs of evolution happening today is to deny the reality of existence. Evolution may occur very slowly, but it does occur over periods of time. The larger the organism, the slower the evolution may occur. In smaller organisms it can happen very rapidly (see link, below, to PNAS)
To say that there have been no signs of evolution for the past 6,000 years is also to ignore reality. You need a different flu shot every year because the flu virus EVOLVES.
If you understand how DNA works, then you can see how and WHY evolution occurs. I'm betting you have absolutely no idea how DNA works. If you did, you probably wouldn't be making your claims.
I'm going to guess that you are one of those people that thinks the Earth is only 6,000 years old. I wonder how you explain away the 8,000 year-old buildings in Egypt, or the 30,000 year old cave paintings in Europe.
Satan is a myth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satan
Evolution is a concept backed up by the National Association for the Advancement of Science, and many Nobel Prize science winners, and here is a link that PROVES that evolution has occurred, and very recently: http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?tool=pubmed&pubmedid=10097119
And you think WE are delusional.
btw: According to the Linnaeus classification system of biology, we ARE apes - we just happen to be the one that's most advanced. I think perhaps the wrong terminology is being used here. Maybe we should say that we ASCENDED from the apes - no gorilla I know of has ever cured a disease, invented an airplane, or built a rocket ship to the moon.

Answer is No since it shows we are not stupid.
Your claims are all false and wrong. There is lots of evidence that the human race is evolving...look at houses from 100-200 years ago...much lower ceilings because people were shorter. the average height of the human race has increased over the last couple of hundred years. Go to an old opera house or theater that has not been converted and watch as most people do not fit very well into the seats.
Your statement that skin color shows nothing is incorrect. Yes we are all of same species but the skin color has become part of the genetic code which means kid will be born X color regardless of WHERE....that is Evolution...otherwise we would all be born Y color and then change depending on environment
also Evolution doesn't even attempt to suggest where life originated...only that it evolved.
You need to check this stuff out if you are gonna bash it
By the way I love your implication that God is a drooling idiot incapable of creating a cosmic order that has a BUILT IN capability to change and adapt without constant interference from God. Guess I just have way too much faith that if God was gonna go through the whole process of creating a universe and life it would take matters into consideration that there would need to be tiny changes made every now and then..and that possibly it would be better for them to happen within the system rather than God ripping everything open to make the changes. I would think that God would have some type of pride in craftmanship
American Beauty and Ph> you both got the whole idea wrong...please actually LEARN about Evolution before you attempt to pass off that you have knowledge about it. It doesn't say we evolved from apes and it does not touch on origin of life.

first, ofcourse evolution does not appear now, because we have complete control over nature, therefore natural selection does not occur anymore... sadly. but DNA mutations do. we get flu vaccines every year because: the viral dna changes on us and our immune systems can not recognize it. thats the nature we have less control over as of now.
AS FOR THE BEGINNING OF LIFE:
for this dumb home schooled kid *evangelical home school*
YES. we have created LIFE in a laboratory. about 50 years ago infact. 2 americans by the names of MILLER and URAY took a russian theory that taking the chemicals found in the earths atmosphere and an electrical jolt, you will get organic matter. they did infact get this organic matter. How does this go in play way way back? WAY WAY back we did not have oxygen in the earths atmosphere. ---(we got oxygen from the first autotrophs created from... well you all wouldnt understand it would take to long to explain in just writing because i need to draw this out.)---
anyways... we have no oxygen. so imagine earth, everything is hectic. very very very bad weather conditions. lightning. everywhere. very very thankful for this, or none of us would be here.
there were ofcourse volcanoes under the oceans, connected through tunnels to surface volcanoes. these compounds and elements i mentioned are: h20 CH4 NH3 and H2. they were all in the atmosphere so the volcanoes were spewing them out. as underwater, lots of bubbles came up from these. lightning struck, organic (life) matter came out. it is important that it was a bubble because the sunlight would have destroyed the combination if not protected behind the bubble..
this was all done so what the hell are we claiming... WHARE DID LYF *** FRUM DEDEDE
seriosly.
faith is just fear of losing love
thats life though.
your dog dies... tragic, but life is all about going through contraversy and overcoming. learn lessons and honestly,
ive been atheist for about 6 years... so at age 11.
honestly so many kids in school allways ask the toughest questions they can think of and i can easily answer them. its just other people who dont know what im talking about cannot realy answer these questions but i can... anyone else got a question?

You are talking about abiogenesis here. Not evolution. If you understood the differences between the two concepts, you would see that evolution has been (and still is) taking place. Horses are a great example of this. They didn't always have the hooves they have today. Calm down, learn a little bit about the subject, then come back and pose a reasonable question.

"Why do they keep insisting life formed without a creator?"
No one is insisting this. We do know, however, that if there was a creator, it was not the god of the bible.
"Nor has there been any sign of evolution in the last 6000 years."
There are many signs of evolution all around us. It is observable if you are actually willing to look at it and learn about it. Why are you denying facts that can be demonstrated scientifically?
"Are you guys delusional or something?"
Your strawman argument fell apart, and your ad hominem holds no merit. Again, why are you denying scientific facts?

according to darwinism, the evolution and natural selection theorist blah blah blah... life was created:
"Billions of years ago, according to the theory of evolution, chemicals randomly organized themselves into a self-replicating molecule. This spark of life was the seed of every living thing we see today"... so maybe i should take some coke, sea weed, toilet bleach, chilli powder and mix it together so that the chemicals can randomly organize themselves to create a replicating molecule and then maybe a chimpanzee with wings would emerge! lol
what i dont understand about evolution is that did chemicals and molecules blah blah blah create human emotion. how can evolutionists explain why we cry, laugh and feel lust towards one another, how these emotions were magically zapped into these molecules to create who we are together.
whether ppl believe in religion or not, at least it gives humans an explanation(whether its tru or not) of why we feel emotions such as love, guilt, hate etc.
however i do believe there are similarities between species etc, but not so far that human beings had evolved from apes, and apes were created by randomly organised molecules. Whatever

No, he's laughing at what an idiot you are!
You know 6,000 years is nothing. It was millions and millions of years between the time period when we were cavemen until ancient times. Thousands of years are nothing. It takes millions of years to evolve. Get off those creationist websites, your getting brainwashed. Go back to reality.

C'mon, do you think God does every little thing? Don't you think God is powerful enough to set the rules and let everything happen according to evolution?
Maybe you are one of those that thinks the bible is literally true. Think about this then. Seth and Cain married their sisters. So you and all bible literalists are descended from one incestuous relationship or another. OR the bible is not literally true, huh?
I agree, you show no signs of evolution.

Satan may be laughing, but actually it also serves God's purposes!
The Biblical prophecy in Revelation regarding the destruction of Babylon the great, world empire of religion, shows that its waters like the real Babylon of the past must be diverted. The meaning of that is that the people supporting Babylon the great are going to be greatly reduced.
If as in the past, everybody was a church member -- the above could never happen.
Now, in this weakened state with so many opposers and so few true supporters that the teaching of evolution has caused, Babylon is ripe to be destroyed.

Evolutionists do not all believe that life formed spontaneously for the simple reason that Evolutoin does not answer how life began and some people who believe in Evolution are religious.
