1) Does evolution or creation better explain life on earth?
2) Where are you from?
I'm interested in which countries have the most creationists/evolutionists.

Mysteri O: no it doesn't. It's perfectly normal for a new species to leave an old one behind alive. In our case, it's true that the common ancestor of human beings and chimpanzees no longer exists, but it could have survived.

1) Evolution
2) Germany
A survey like this on Yahoo! Answers won't be representative, but there are definitely more creationists in the USA than in Europe. I know very very few Germans who are creationists and that are all Baptists that I met when I once visited a Baptist church out of curiosity and they tried to convert me :-D I was raised in the Lutheran Church in Germany and also know many Catholics, and although they believe that the world and life was created, they don't deny the scientific facts about evolution. I even saw a German Lutheran pastor on German Yahoo! Answers who was really upset about Americans because so many of them are creationists.
I'm afraid this might sound arrogant which is not my intention, but I'm just stating an observation.
Anyway I want to stress once again that probably the majority of Europeans believe in creation, just not the way as it is described in Genesis.

Life develops through the process of evolution by natural selection.
Creationism was put forward as an explanation in the days before we understood this, and I have never heard the creation argument proposed by anybody that wasn't a Christian.

Many people do take the Bible literally true 100%.
I believe both are correct and God started off the evolution process. However, I do not believe in humans evolving from apes. I believe the concept of evolution - that the weaker animals die out and the stronger ones remain. I believe the less intelligent Humans in those days died out and the more intelligent and stronger ones stayed which is why we have You & Me.

Evolution can be proven, look at fossils and dinosaur bones. I am from California USA. We did not evolve from apes though because once a species evolves, it leaves the previous version extinct.

To me, the most logical and credible explanation is BOTH. As an actual Christian, MY God is intelligent enough, as well as being omniscient and omnipotent, to have created the (very obvious) evolutionary process right along with the rest of the universe.
Too bad about the more LIMITED "god" of the "Religious" Radical Right's **pseudo**-Christians. (LOL!!)
