Though I have not read theory of evolution completely , I can for sure say it does not make sense to me.
How many years you think it will take for a calculator to be manufacturd by process of evolution. Do you think it is possible that by mixing of gases and temperature can create something like calculator. How about computer. Is it possible. Our body is much more complex than latest computer today. Do you believe that our mind which is still a mystery to modern day science can evolve through a process. Don't you see an intelligent design here. what you say ?

So you believe that God created the calculator and computer, then?
Can you explain why we waited thousands of years to create them?
Did you at least get far enough into the Theory of Evolution to realize it deals with animate, not inanimate objects?

I hate answering a question with a question, but here goes: why can evolution not be the work of God?
We see micro-evolution in things like dog breeding, Darwin's experiments with fruit flies, the subtle speciazation of gulls on the Atlantic coasts. God does His work through His creation; not in spite of it. Why can evolution not be one of his tools?
The theory of evolution does not state that life formed out of gases. Though many people (very few within the scientific community) will say that it is possible, it is most implausible within the realm of physics and biology. Even using the most liberal estimates of the age of the Earth and the universe, it would take, well, a miracle for gases to form something as complicated as an amino acid, much less the extremely complicated double-helix structure of DNA.
I commend to you a book written by the head of the Human Genome Project Francis S. Collins, "The Language of God." The rift between science and religion is the byproduct of the lack of scientific understanding in some religious circles, the lack of religious understanding in scientific circles, and a lack of understanding of both by the general public.
If you'd like to get more in depth, feel free to e-mail me. My wife and I are Christians, but she is a biologist and I work in ultraviolet technology.

Seriously, a technology evolves too but not biologically. You need genetic makeup to evolve along with genetic mutations. A freaking computer doesn't procreate - therefore natural evolution cannot happen within objects.
Just because we don't know how the brain completely works doesn't prove your point. Actually, since God gave you "the truth", shouldn't you know how it works? Does God write about how micro organisms and change?
Do you know what happens when families are inbred? They are predisposed to genetic diseases! If we came from the few people the Bible speaks of in the beginning, we would be genetic defects, really. And there wouldn't be much variations in people either.

While I realize that we definitely do not comprehend everything about the human mind, body, emotions, memory, and thought, that does not mean that we must accept that some great being designed us. To me, that is something that we would comprehend even less than evolution.
I choose to continue searching for answers, instead of settling with "some unknown being created us, and it's not supposed to make sense to humans so just believe and worship." I don't see intelligent design, just a mystery that we may or may not ever solve.

Evolution claims, random change & natural selection make simple things spontaneously transform into more complex things without recourse to intelligent design. Chance and random changes simply do not produce higher levels of organization & complexity.
How ridiculously impossible it is MATHEMATICALLY, for 'order' - of the magnitude of the human brain and DNA - to come from absolute disorder? How could TIME alone account for the order in the universe, natural laws, complex organisms, etc.?

Computers and calculators are not life forms and serve no purpose in nature. I would almost like to think that we're both and that God created the environment and evolution took it from there!

I don't see how it would make any sense that in this whole big vast universe that a so called supreme being just decided to put life on this rock we call earth.
The second would be. Since they claim we had to be created by something (God), Then who or what did he come. He could have never just existed just like we could have never existed.

There is way more evidence to support evolution than there is to support some mystical god somewhere snapping everything into existence with a wave of a godly hand.
And computers don't evolve...neither do calculators. Only living things evolve.

Calculators and computers do not reproduce themselves. You omit that obvious feature in your flippant dismissal.
Belief in Intelligent Design is a hallmark of insufficient analysis.

God could have used evolution as one of his tools to create the world and it's inhabitants.
Many religious traditions also accept evolution as God's work.
