and better yet why would it matter? please describe why it matters to us be it some random unproven things written in a book thousands of years ago that are extremely open ended so that anyone could rework what the meanings. And or the fact that science can prove most everything but for some reason are trying extremely hard to rub it in everyones face. maybe i should add to the possible answers.
A)Did we evolve into what we are today.
B)god said poof and here we are.
C)the answer is whatever the more powerful party tells us it is.
D)we are devolving from our perfect forms into our most primitive forms.

You have got it partly wrong. God made us... is absolutely and hundred percent correct. We are evolving is also hundred percent truth! The present cosmos is a creation of God Almighty. How? It is only when God Almighty explodes himself... the Cosmos gets created... never otherwise! And what is God Almighty... the Creator of all things cosmic!
Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred Scripture of Hinduism on Mother Earth explicitly states the sum total of all purified souls atmans in the Cosmos is what we know as God Almighty! And what does this truly mean? Does it mean the combined cluster of all purified souls atmans in the Cosmos is what constitutes God Almighty... yes, the truth is so!
When the dissolution of old cosmos occurs... the whole Cosmos reduces to the size of half a thumb. And what is this half a thumb? Devoid of all impurities within... all souls’ atmans in the Cosmos regain their original pure pristine form. The cluster of pure energy... the combined power of all purified souls atmans in the Cosmos is what we know as God Almighty.
If a grain of sand is an individual soul atman... the whole mound God Almighty! The original prime pure pristine cosmic energy... the combined power of all purified souls atmans... God Almighty unable to contain itself for long in its purified state... explodes with a big bang... resulting in formation of a new cosmos... a new beginning!
The hurtling souls' atmans in the cosmos gather impurities on the way. Similar as rolling ball gathers moss... These impure souls’ atmans... To eradicate the impurities within manifest a cycle of 8.4 million bodies... an earthly span of 96.4 million years! The moment human beings reach 8.4 millionth manifestation... gain enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) all is over for soul atman within!
The crux of human life is gaining enlightenment and finally salvation (moksha)... the end goal of every living form! The manifest stage of human being is highest in the cosmic system... only as a human being the soul atman within regains its original pure pristine form... liberates forever from the cycle of birth and death!
Understanding and assimilating the pearls of wisdom contained in the sacred Bhagavad Gita... human beings finally reach the end goal of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation! The doctrine of Bhagavad Gita given to mankind by Lord Krishna is without a parallel! The knower of Bhagavad Gita finally becomes the knower of all... gains enlightenment forever!

Definitely C) Whatever the more powerful party tells us it is.
Since I can neither prove or disprove god.......
However, take a look at the bible... Genesis. Did you ever read that? Why doesn't the bible say anything about the dinosaurs in between the creation of water and man. 7 days to get from nothing to man to taking a day off. Hmmmm........ I can go on about the many discrepencies found in that old belief.
I read many versions of the "evolution of religion" and can tell you that religion is created by the powerful party and now we have big brother government stepping into the mix trying to be more powerful than god (separation of state and god). Government now has their own "ten commandments". Only it's a whole lot more (laws).
People who believe in god have nothing tangible (proveable) to support their theory yet will announce that everything proves it? Huh? They think it is okay to sacrifice and be humble and just accept things the way they are....Hmmm sounds like being controlled by a higher power alright. Watch where the buck stops and you will find the higher power disguised as a "man of the cloth" doing work for god. I still giggle when I think about those TV fanatics, the Bakers... especially Tammy Faye!
When you are unable to prove something does that make it a fact? I would have thought that just the discovery of dinosaurs would have put an end to the "creation" but it's more like an "oops". The bible was written by men for men as a tool to sway those without power into submission who did not know about dinosaurs and other planets and weather, etc. We now have laws to force people into submission and you go to hell alright if you get caught breaking them.
That's my opinions anyway.........

Watch the easily info there is particularly no controversy in the scientific community. How do you recognize there ought to be a meaning to existence? besides technology cant answer the place the vast bang got here from besides the shown fact that it particularly is shown. it particularly is probably not strange that there is existence on a minimum of one planet out of 6.4*10^22 planets is it moron? technology is lots greater fascinating than a god interior the image. He killed many interior the old testomony, wasn't that merciless? he would not have carried out that if he exchange into all-loving. besides you creationists have faith that throughout basic terms you have morals whilst in certainty each physique has, it has not something to do with being a theist or atheist in any respect. As I stated watch easily info, it is not for not something evolution is a cornerstone in Biology. concept of evolution has under no circumstances been disproved, and creationism somewhat qualifies as a hypothesis. of direction some planets are greater suitable than others, some stars are extensive in comparison to our sunlight. Gravity and quantity of mass makes a decision. possibly there's a god yet is there particularly something to signify so. Its merely accident, all of it. We merely do not know if a god or gods exist, yet do not mock technology to show god, considering the fact which you cant! Don´t ask why we are right here, because of the fact we merely do not know (yet another accident?)

What about God made us evolve?
What I can never understand is why some theists find such a great threat from evolution. I know several people who believe in both. As far as I can discern, people who insist on creation merely want to hold on to a literal interpretation of Genesis. But there is nothing in the theory of evolution that disproves the existence of God. It is not impossible to imagine God's hand to have guided it all the way.

Evolution did and does occur, it is a miraculous process in itself, which makes me ask if some force was behind the evolutionary process. I think that religious people do not like the way that science paints evolution a very dull colour by just saying it was all due to "chance" mutations, and simple "survival of the fittest."
Anyway, perhaps the story of Adam and Eve has more to do with the origin of the human "soul", rather than the origin of the human body. It is not really our bodies that define us as being a part of "humanity", it is our collective "soul."

There is much evidence to support evolution but none to supp-ort the existence of any gods. Con men invented gods who tell people to pay these swindlers. It matters greatly. The truth always matters. How could you suggest it does not? A is the only one that makes any sense at all. Imaginary gods say nothing really. Parties do not determine truth.

if you believe in a god, you start to believe in all the associated items.
it's a belief in god that drives some to kill themselves and countless other in the belief that this will earn them reward from a god in an afterlife.
it often leads to the kinds of religions which closes minds instead of letting people thinking for themselves.
it makes some people think they are justified in whatever they do, and it lets some people get away with almost anything by saying that it was the will of a god.
it matters because sometimes when enough people believe in a god they will force their beliefs and restrictions on those who don't, taking away their freedom. it makes some people feel superior to others, and hitler was an example of where that can lead.
i value freedom. belief that we are governed sometimes come to the same thing as being governed, specially when you have the "second in commands" or the "representatives", and we lose our freedom to them.
heard of the crusades? that was when one group of people decided to take what they thought a god had given them. taking it over the bodies of those who held it then was only a minor little trifle, right?
when we believe in a god it leads to us believing that our rights are set out by a god, and some human rights are ignored. ever considered where this has led to for women in the middle east for example? most of them can't show their face in public, literally.
it's not the belief in a god itself or that we were created by a god by anyone in their own hearts and minds that worries me. it's all the other things that seem to inevitably come with it.
because of that, it really does matter.

If God was behind it all then, why the poor design? What? your thinking. What is wrong? We have many "evolutionary" defects, our eyes are actually backwards, because of evolution and hence our eyesight is only a tenth of other animals, like hawks. But our eyes are fine you say, sure but they are still bad design, no sorry, poorly evolved.
Here's a real question: If God did design and make us, why do we have to deform children's genitalia, this is what God wants?

I think that people believe the same thing no matter which party they vote for and only actually care about creation enough to care about what people will think of them if they give a certain answer. I think that both god created the universe and we evolved from it.

Science relies on the random variable to explain things. How did the dinosaurs come to extinction, for example? Random chance event is the best you'll get.
If we were created, then God gave us our need for meaning and purpose in life (most asked questions in history) in order to point us to seek Him. What would be more important than to come to know our Creator?
