What's your proof?
Where can I find proof for either one?
There may be evidence but I haven't seen proof for either.

There is NO evidence of a God. The only faith argument for god is "Where did the universe come from?" It does NOT prove a god but it doesn't disprove. As for evolution... there are many proofs. If god does exist then all he did was create the universe then he allowed it to unfold via evolution. WE as a species proves this. If god loved us and created us especially then our remnants would be all over this planet going back all of the 4 billion years of this planet but alas no... we only turned up a mere 100,000 years ago at most after countless species came and went. We are not special! we are a byproduct of Evolution!

First of all, God is not a theory. A theory, by definition, is a widely accepted hypothesis. A hypothesis must be testable. One cannot prove God's existence. (If God's existence were to be proven, it would be impossible to have faith.) Evolution, on the other hand, is a hypothesis.

Which has more evidence: This question is quantitative, so it refers to the amount of evidence, not neccesarily the importance of the evidence. Both ideas have lots of papers written on them. In addition, God is supported by the Bible and other ancient scriptures. Evolution is supported by layers of ground in the Earth, fossils, introns in eukaryotic DNA, mutated viruses, and light waves that have traveled more than 6,000 light years. Evolution has more, and larger, pieces of evidence.
However, you probably meant to ask which is more convincing. The idea of God is based on faith. Faith isn't neccesarily based on logic, so that's not the least bit convincing. (I'm not seeing that it's false, but you can't exactly win a debate by having faith in your side.) Evolution's data explains many of the transitions in nature, supporting its accuracy. However, evolution was not hypothesized until the 19th century, so more research must be done.

Where the evidence can be found: The evidence for God can be found in the Bible, which you can access easily. It comes in book form and is on the internet. As for evolution, it's in museums and laboratories all accross the world. However, some pieces of evidence have yet to be found and the majority that have been discovered are not things that you can purchase.

Well, it certainly depends on what you consider to be evidence, but the two are NOT mutually exclusive. There is plenty of evidence for evolution; so much that it is only called a theory on a technicality of scientific discourse. The evidence for the existence of some god or other (or more than one) is very subjective, which is not usually considered valid evidence.

But remember that the difference between evidence and proof is important. A jury gets evidence from the lawyers in the courtroom, but they go into the jury room and decide whether or not it is enough to convince them: whether they can consider the case proved.

Not really. You see a human being and you can either say God created her, or she is a result of evolution. You can also say, evolution is the way God created humans. I haven't heard this theory before, but one can argue that God created matter, energy, and the laws of physics, and as a consequence, evolution and human beings happened.

GOD!
If evolution was true then where's the missing link everyone has been talking about? Why can't we find it? And if we REALLY did evolve from apes and chimps, then why do we still have them in our zoo's? Why haven't they evolved? They sure are smart enough so why haven't they shed hair and stood up and donned a suit? B/C they're praising God like all the other animals of the world! Praise God......DUH!!!!

Both are not theories...But God created the world...evolution has never been proved..if it was factual...surely there would be no missing link.They will never prove it...because God created this world and I praise Him...it's something I know to be true in my heart! I can say it to the world and answer this question...but I don't need to prove it...I simply know it!

Well, as Evolution has enough evidence to basically call it a fact, outside of a time machine, it overwhelmingly overshadows the possibility of a god or gods existing. If you are talking about the Christian God, many stories of the Bible itself have been disproven and contradictory, so there's not much sense in believing in that God, unless you try to block out every study ever done in human history and the work of thousands and thousands of people over centuries.

God = Myth
Evolution = Fact

From a science point of view, god is not a theory. Not even close. A scientific theory is a set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted by science and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena. God doesn't come close to fulfilling this definition of a theory.

God is not a theory, it's a faith, therefore, evolution!

Let me ask you smart people this: Is there more evidence for the Christian God or Allah?

Evolution is a theory (in scientific terms not laymans terms, there is a difference, go look it up)

God is "I am not smart enough to understand how this works, so god id it". Not a theory a guess.
