how do you think people came to the earth? I personally lean more towards evolution lately, god just seems like some crazy idea...how on earth could someone just create everything in the universe from nothing??? and even if that did happen where did god come from? did he evolve perhaps?

I think evolution is very possible. But I also think that it doesn't discount the presence of a deity. Anytime I see these science vs. god arguements, I always just come back with the same response.
Eventually, it all must lead back to something.
Science doesn't necessarily invalidate religion.
There will always be questions to how the world works and for every answer we find, another question surfaces.
Even if we say "this works this way" you can still ask 'Why?'
What caused it? What caused the cause? And it could go on and on. Should we ever reach the end of that thread, what do you think would await us?

God's creativity is at its most subtly creative when it all appears to be happening automatically. Of course this is problematic for belief. Did God create the fabric of the universe in such a way that it would naturally unfold to produce intelligent life? Or is the nature of the universe such that it would eventually produce intelligent life with no god required? You get to decide which makes more sense.
Could God make a universe too complicated for even him to understand or operate? Could a natural universe as complex as this one spontaneously develop without divine help? What caused the Big Bang? Dunno, perhaps God. What caused God? Dunno, perhaps another Big Bang? OR: "Before" doesn't make sense. Time began with the Big Bang. God "always" existed, outside of Time. We are all stymied by the concept of primal cause and what was before the beginning. It's the same problem, dressed in different clothes.

Evolution happens. They have had controlled tests where you can watch it happen. HOWEVER the question is whether evolution is responsible for life on earth. I think evolution is more likely but there are some holes in it that are currently unexplainable. I don't think darwin theory is totally correct but i don't believe god made the earth either

properly this will not be fairly suitable to the question yet "God" and the bible are VERY loosely and selectively (via fact it has some loopy stuff in there and maximum of it fairly is lacking) based on the lifeless sea scrolls and that i think evolution is extra probably then god even nonetheless the circumstances for existence are fairly uncommon. additionally diverse subspecies form of tutor that there has been some form of evolution in earth. DNA mutations have been recorded and handed on with the aid of distinctive generations of animals

God created evolution. Read Genesis ... how does this deny or confirm evolution??? In fact, it sounds as if it's a simple way of telling evolution.
" ... Then God said, "Let the water teem with an abundance of living creatures, and on the earth let birds fly beneath the dome of the sky." An so it happened. God created the great sea monsters and all kinds of swimming creatures with which the water teems, and all kinds of winged birds. God saw how good it was ... Then God said, "Let the Earth bring forth all kinds of living creatures; cattle, creeping things, and wild animals of all kinds" And so it happened God made all kinds of wild animals, all kinds of cattle, and all kinds of creeeping things of the earth. God saw how good it was. ... Then GOD SAID "LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR OWN IMAGE, AFTER OUR LIKENESS" Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and the cattle, and over all the wild animals and vegitation of the earth.

Great questions.
The evidence that life on Earth evolved over millions of years is overwhelming. No other explanation fits what we've observed in biology, geology and medicine.
But understanding evolution - or any scientific theory - doesn't require you to stop believing in God.

It's easier to believe that an all-powerful being created everything than to try to figure out how chance produced even one atom. When you research the latter you may accidentally stumble on the concept of God as "first cause".

Where did that atom come from? Where did the animal come from. From what i know from evolution you don't go any where when you die. But wouldn't it be better to know where you're going just in case their is a place to go when you do die? I can't tell where God cam from but it's more reasonable than the big bang or evolving from a dolphin.

You said, "how on earth could someone just *create everything in the universe* from nothing", but I think it's far more logical than assuming that the universe just *fell into place* from nothing.
