This is the eternal war between science and spirituality.Unfortunately evolution is incomplete science although we can say it is reasonable accurate for about the last three million years. The latest findings are that homo erectus and homo habilus existed concurrently and not consecutively as previously thought.

Why do you imply that Creationists are Christian?
Muslims, Jews, and many other religions are likewise creationist.
Even Deists could be classed as creationist... and Raelians, too, come to think of it... though they believe in aliens rather than deities as the creating force.
Anywho... my interest is piqued.
You can either hold the opinion that life came about via natural processes and with no guiding intelligence, or you can hold the opinion that some intelligence did it all.
There are subtle mixes of both... you can actually even be a creationist and accept evolution at the same time...
But if you are not a creationist, then you must have some other theory that includes natural processes with no god (or other form of intelligent being) guiding them... and I'd love to hear it.
All that said, evolution is the theory on how life diversified via mutation and natural selection. There is no "believe" about it, there is only accept or not accept.
Abiogenesis would be how life began.

If you,me,or anyone questions evolution you are instantly proclaimed the enemy of science,and a stumbling block of modern naturalism,which is the new religion in town.There is no academic equality in our high schools or universities.When someone questions the validity of evolution,they are tagged a Fundy,non scientific,stupid,etc.Critical thinking is the only way a person can go forward in anything.The reality is,if people or students saw the arguments against evolution,there would be countless amounts of people who would then start thinking on their own,and asking questions.Now we can't have that now can we?
‘Genetics has no proofs for evolution. It has trouble explaining it. The closer one looks at the evidence for evolution the less one finds of substance. In fact the theory keeps on postulating evidence, and failing to find it, moves on to other postulates (fossil missing links, natural selection of improved forms, positive mutations, molecular phylogenetic sequences, etc.). This is not science.’

It's not right to assume you're a Creationist just because you inquire about evolution, but if you use your imagination and spend some time on here I'm sure you can figure out why someone might think that.

It's hard when you're given the load of crap that evolution is, huh?
If you have no faith, the creation is probably about as credible to you.
May I ask this-can you examine the claims of Christianity allowing for the possibility that they "could" be true? You may be surprised with the outcome.

You will never have 100% no matter what. VERY little in science becomes law.
My belief is that evolotion is real. Now the details of said evolution haven't been found, or proved in the least. I wait for that to come. It will be cool. But you can't expect ALL the answers. Science just doesnt' work like that.

My grandfather used to tell me only believe half of what you see and none of what you hear...I believe in scientific fact, not hypothetical religious theory...they're very easy to distinguish between the two...Evolution uses science and fact derived from experimental research and analysis...Creationism is based upon conjecture and religious based opinion...

if you question evolution. people assume as that is the norm. the same goes the other way round. stop caring what people think. if you want to find out more just read as much as you can

You yourself obviously didn't bother to read the entire article referenced in your previous question before posting a gleeful question about it. I don't really care what you believe or don't believe. Maybe you can doubt the theory of gravity next.

You're not going to get educated here. Search in a better place, such as a good university.
