Why not get a good biology book and read it? Most of the questions themselves (never mind the answers) show profound ignorance of the most basic methods of science and the wealth of scientific evidence relevant to the topic.
If you are a religious believer and are confused, try Ken Miller's _Finding Darwin's God_. If you are the sort of person who won't read a book, you shouldn't be giving answers as though you know something, but even on the internet you can find solid scientific information if you know where to look. Try http://www.talkorigins.org

The creationists are not interested in finding the truth, they are only interested in simple answers to complex questions.
And that's a shame because there's so much more beauty and wonder in the truth than there is in their ignorance.

Because all the good biology books disagree with their literal reading of the bible.
All the scientist that study biology too, along with all those thousands of peer reviewed research papers.
With millions of current documents showing repeatable results on one side, and a book written by stone age nomads on the other, they pick the stone age book every time. Because they have FAITH ! !! ! And faith can move mountains! (provided it is a mountain <6" high, and no one is looking when it moves.)

I've read lots of books on science. And I believe in things like data, control groups and scientific methods of interpretation and analysis.
Still a christian. Still don't believe in evolution. We ask the questions to see what other people think. Not because we're confused!

A lot of people do not read beyond things on Yahoo Answers. It's called the dumbing down of America.

.Some people just like asking for the fun of it.You know some extra information not from the book is quite interesting.See what they say about it if its true or not. Some are curios that they want to discuss & see if people can relate to it or not.

though I think evolution is a major load
I do agree with you about doing your homework
sites like this S & R are more of a gripe session
