I Unfortunately, like so many millions of Americans, am a product of a public education system that offers no other alternative explanation to how life came about on this planet despite so much evidence attributing everything that exists in our universe to special design by our Divine Creator.
I blindly followed evolutionary theory because that was all I was ever taught. How did you come to discover the truth?

I have studied the case for both theories extensively, including reading Darwin's "Origin of Species" and came to my conclusion based upon the FACTS. Regardless of what we believe, the facts are the same for both sides of the argument. It's how we interpret those facts that leads us to our conclusions. I promise you that if you just take time to read this with an open mind and not just dismiss it as Christian propaganda, you'll be surprised at what you read.

I would really like to know in your own words what you believe evolution to be.
And what argument convinced you that creationism was a more sound theory than evolution?

If you think there's evidence for a Divine Creator, you're not in fact thinking. Evidence and God don't belong in the same discussion, let alone the same sentence.
People who think they can grapple with scientists using the same evidentiary scientific tactics to "prove" God's existence are quite foolish, and simply do not understand how science works, or even what religion intends to do. There's nothing wrong with believing something created the Universe. But there is something wrong in extrapolating it out so far that you think you're actually using science to debunk itself.

Why would schools teach other explanations of how life came to this planet when all the evidence says that the other ways is wrong.

Evolution does not pretend to explain how "life came about". The fact that you should even say this reveals that you have no idea what you are talking about.
Next?

No one that understands it doesn't buy at least the big idea of common decent. That is why you get all the "monkey" questions here. They are arguing against things that have nothing to do with what evolution even says.

Because picking up a pile of dirt and *poof* it's a man, and then *poof* out of his rib comes a woman... well that's a lot more plausible.

There is no evidence of a creator, divine or otherwise.

God allowed me to discover new scientific knowledge about Himself no one else knows. Now I'm working on getting this new knowledge out into the mainstream public. This discovery will force the world to except Who God is in a whole new way. And that is as a "scientist".

Evolution has nothing to do with how life came to be. Only how life came to change.
You're an ignoramus.
