why don't you believe in evolution (even though it's pretty much been proven as fact)? And if god created the universe, why is there so much space? And are we his "only" children, or is there another planet with more of us on it?

You obviously only read material that already agrees with your own opinions.
I can list as many credible scientists that DON'T believe in evolution as you can that do.
As for other planets. Who knows? He only tells us about stuff that concerns US.
One last thing. God is Creator of all, but only the "Father" of those who receive His Son. So, according to the Bible, we are NOT all his "children".

Proven as fact by who? Sorry for starting my answer with a question but there are alot of people, even those from the scientific community who would beg to differ.
For the first question, in my opinion (not ALL christians) since God is the creator of all things, only he could create such a intricate concept such as evolution. Evolution here isn't so much of monkeys turning into humans after a time span (first thing that comes to the mind of many) but more to the way living things adapt to changes around them (growing fur in cold weather etc.). I feel only God could design it in such a way that organisms can survive without the need for any sort of intervention.
I don't get the second question about why is there so much space? Why shouldn't there be?
The last question, even Christians might not know. Someone should try asking Him though, i would like to know the answer to that myself.

Micro evolution, change within species, has much evidence and is supported by empirical data. Macro evolution, change from one different life form to another, IE: a fish turning into a reptile, has absolutely no scientific support, that is because it is not true. If God did not create the universe, then I challenge you to tell me what did? How did time, space, and matter all begin? Theist believe that nothing(before the universe began) became something(the universe) from something(God). However atheist must believe that nothing(before the universe began) became something(the universe) from nothing. Which statement is more logical, the theist one of course. Let me put it another way, if I see a wooden bird house then I know that the wood became a birdhouse from a person, this is a metaphor for the theistic view. The metaphor for the atheistic view would go like this, the wood became a birdhouse all by itself with no intelligent intervention. This is very illogical for people who seem to trumpet logic and reason. As for your third question, as far as I know yes, and the word of God gives us no other reason to believe otherwise. God bless.

I am a Christian and I do believe that evolution is true, and still ongoing today. I just don't believe that a man can evolve from a monkey and Christian or not no one is every going to convience me of that, If that were the case then why are there still monkeys? Better yet why aren't they still evolving, and why aren't monkeys having humans, and humans having monkeys, you see none of that makes sense, and just what other animals have evolved into humans lately? The fact that a speck of dust created an entire universe, well maybe it did, But I do believe if it did, it was by the hand of the Almighty God. I believe a lot of people have a misconception of what the Bible actually is. It was written to teach salvation, not how the world came into existance.As far as what else is out there, we don't know. I am not going to disregard the fact that there isn't anything. There is as good of chance as something else being out there as there is us being here. As far as what or whom we don't know that either. And maybe never will...

Because God created everything known to man i don't believe in evolution and we have much to learn about the universe so there could be life out there it is so vast. We did not live a million or more years ago so how do they know how things was then and how old things really are to what do they compare it ( i am just saying how i feel will not be able make sense of scientific answers)

The fact that many evolutionists are atheists and are hostile to religion causes Christians to mistrust them. I believe in God and believe that he created all life on this planet. If he used evolution as the process, that's fine with me. Why is the fact that there is a lot of space trouble you? I don't get that one. We don't know if we are God's only children or if there are a million other planets with intelligent life on them. We've got a long way to go in getting our own planet in order so maybe we're not ready as a species to know if there is other life in the universe.

The Bible is God's written Word to us.
It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit.
“Above all you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” 2 Peter 1:20-21. (New International Version)
God explains to us in the book of Genesis that He created everything and that every animal reproduces after its own kind. He spoke everything into existance except for man which He tells us that He formed with His own hands and from that man, He took a rib and formed a woman for a helper for the man.
I don't know why there is so much space in the universe or if there are other planets with other people or other life on them or not.
Are you a Christian? I must tell you that only Christians are God's children. To become God's adopted child, one must accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. This is in the bible also.

1) Many Christians do believe in the theory of evolution.
2) There is so much space so we have room to spread out.
3) More than likely there is another planet with other lifeforms.
Hope that helps (sorry I answered even though I'm not technically a Christian).

we do believe in evolution. but who started evolution is God Almighty. He made things this way in order for us to survive. science did not start everything nor will it have an explanation for everything, God started it all. who do u think started the big bang? and the things b4 that? and even nothing in itself. God created this and He exist out of the realm of time. even if the 'space' had been filled up, wouldnt u then ask 'why isnt there a lot of space?' it's just the way things r created to work with each other in this universe.

It's not been proven as fact. Have you never read a text book or taken a science course.
If it were a fact they'd give DEGREES in the subject, the FACT is THEY DON'T.
The ONLY school I've ever seen give a degree in EVOLUTION is the School of Economics in London
Evolution is a theory
Like STRING THEORY
Like QUARK THEORY
It's uneducated people like YOU giving it a BAD NAME and calling it FACT
NO scientist will back you up on that point.
NOT a single one.
Now, go digest your ignornace and read a few books and get back to us when you've learned something.
