Debates on evolution or religion are the biggest waste of human energy and time. Both sides don't have enough evidence because they're just theories.

Facts say otherwise, KosukeKGA, Evolution is very much fact and is a very proven part of science...Macro-Evolution is generally the area of discussion and since it takes place over such massive lengths of time that is harder and maybe nigh impossible to prove.

maybe we did evolve from monkeys. well, i believe both stuff, the religion and the evolution. for me, believing in evolution doesn't necessarily mean you don't have faith in your religion.

We did not evolve from monkeys. Before you believe in evolution, please try to understand the actual concepts of it.

well...if evolution didnt spark the evolution..what did?...GOD? :rofl2: :rofl2: aha...funny. :P

Nothing sparked evolution. The theory states that it is a process inherent in nature, kinda like gravity.The fact is, there is actually concrete evidence for one type of evolution (micro-evolution), while there is nothing to back up creation except a book based entirely on circular reasoning.

I'm ashamed of the religious idiot who made this, since i'm assuming it was a religious zealot, who has his own head so far up his ass he doesn't realise what he's saying. The Lord asked us to TOLERATE others opinions and beliefs. Try to raise your kids to your religion, live life in a good just way, and to try to convince people to follow the righteous path. Of course, most people take advantage of that last one and abuse it, or they totally ignore tolerance entirely and look down on everyone else. Anyone who does that is a zealot who is so obsessed with being right they aren't even realising they're contradicting themselves.

Yeah, this guy is right. I feel bad now for blowing my top over this thread, but I can't stand something I value be mocked. Oh, and I suppose people value evolutionism too (ya know, the ones who have replied to pretty much every notable post on this thread *cough*) and I guess calling them retarded is just as bad as calling the Creationists retarded, and I suppose that that one guy was right when he said that "this topic can't be argued because they're both theories." All I know is, as long as I am still healthy and alive, and as long as my prayers continue being answered, I am a firm believer in God. I encourage everyone to try being a Christian, its very...whats a good word?...'relieving', I guess would work. Relieving in the spirit, it is. Yeah.

i completely disagree with evolution! as humans, we have morals. no other animals have morals. do you think that we suddenly developed morals as we turned from monkeys to humans? i personally like to think that my ancestors were all humans. to think that some kind of cess pool produced bacteria who all turned into the different forms of life is ludacris! i am a strong believer of creation and divine design.

Animals don't have morals because they don't have food handed to them. They need to obtain it through any means.And, who are you to say they have no morals? Did you speak with them?Why is it so hard for people to believe that evolution occurs, when it is vehemently supported by an abundance of evidence, but they blindly believe in divine powers, something that hardly has evidence but only came from an attempt to rationalize existence and other phenomena?You do know that, as the brain develops evolutionarily, that thinking power increases? The ability to reason, use tools, etc., came from the evolution of the brain. Chimpanzees use tools; there's a clear relationship between that animal and humans. You can deny it, but what evidence do you have?

ANYWAYS>>>>there's like 1/trillions that evolution couldve happend, specifically big bang. Also, isn't the Bible proof enough that it is true? there hasn't been a single piece of evidence refuting the Bible that succeded yet, there's thousands of pieces of evidence that the Bible is legit. So...its fact or chance, in a way.

If you think the evolution is the Big Bang, open a book. There isn't a 1:1,000,000,000,000 chance that evolution exists. There is a 100% chance that evolution exists. All of the organisms weren't simply placed on the Earth at the same time, seeing as how there are organisms existing now that haven't existed before. How did they get there? Oh, using logic, we must say that God put them there as time went on!Doubting evolution is like doubting reproduction. Do you doubt the theory that, in general, the strongest members of a population survive? That variation exists between organisms of the same species, and these variations are differently suited for different environments, and those that aren't suited have a lower survival rate? It's common sense, and just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it can't happen.And what part of the Bible are you referring to? The historical part, or the belief part? There isn't much evidence that God exists, I dare say. Use your theories of creation or what you will; they don't prove much. As I have said, the belief in a supernatural being is "something that hardly has evidence but only came from an attempt to rationalize existence and other phenomena".

is this the origin of man, or the adaptation to a changing environment? The origin of man is shady at best, but evolution as a survival mechanism is very real. look at bugs.

I don't believe in either evolution or creation (everything create by God). I think evolution is just a stupid theory, and "God" is a concept that kinda scares me.

If you think evolution is such a stupid theory, then explain to me (A) what the theory entails and (B) what your theory for the origin of species and the variation between organisms is.

i believe in evolution and i think there are plenty of facts that leads to our theory. most people do not know the meaning of evolution of man; people think we evolve from monkeys...well thats not evolution...we did not evolve from monkeys, we just branched away from them. to me believing in god is just ridiculous (and a religious person will probably say the same to science) but its something i chose to believe in after being exposed to both sides and as a person i chose the side that i made the most sense to me.

The Big Bang theory is not about creation, it is explaining how matter got to where it is, Creation is left to the religious nuts.Evolution - FACTEvolution is 100 Percent real, Anyone who disagrees knows nothing of that part of science.What people debate is whether Macro evolution is real, Which is the question, Can one species over time turn into another species?, According to Darwin's rather precise studies of birds from one island chain to another, Yes, They can.Though he has no physical evidence to prove it, We have no real physical evidence of Great White Sharks having sex or performing any sort of mating, we know they do because they have the organs for it, we know they do because new sharks pop up from time time, we just haven't seen it.Sharks are another good thing, Most natural modern sharks don't and can't leave fossils, Why?Because they have no bones, we know they existed in the past as well, Amazing.And maybe we don't have physical fossils of humans mid-species in our evolutionary chain is because humans didn't always number in the billions/millions or even the hundreds of thousands, we just built up to that many so the fossil record would be harder to find if it even exists, while also humans don't like what is not alike to them as a general fear, Why do one set of humans hate another?, Maybe that is what happened to the missing link, we killed them a hella-long time ago? lol

Actually, I wasn't talking about the evolution but to those who believe in the big bang

Animals, plants, alot of living things when passed away, simply rot.They rot and get taken into the soil. You need a certain type of soil, to have the item not come in contact with oxygen. I don't like the whole... why look around, the bible says he created it, lets just believe it and not explore sience! Whe don't have brains for nothing... <-- we should explore, we should try and understand the world around us. And not be bound by one single view. Keep an open mind!

My thinking is that if eveything evolved from something, what was the first something? It can't have just been there, it had to be either evolved from something else or created. If it is the former, same thing.

wow, ur either a hard core dumass or a hardcore like jehovas witness or mormon or sumthing. i mean how can u ignore the facts? scientists have found so many skeletons of cave men and primitive men its not even funny nemore. im catholic and the bible says adam and eve were here first and such just like neother church, which by the way only copied our faith and fit it to ur needs, but u cant just deny scientific data. the fact is jesus is real and science is real. i believe in both, and develop my own theories based on the facts.

^I very much agree whats been said there. Science provides evidence of their hypothesis while religion is based on faith of people. But everyone has their opinions of it. Science and Religion should stay away from each other though.

Oy, Old earth creationist here, I agree that there are too many gaps in evolution, especially concerning the jump from fish to land animals.

Any random person could make up a stupid theory without any proof. But for it to be accepted by the world as a scientific theory it needs to still have a large amount of evidence. The "theory" of evolution is so accepted that it is even taught in schools. Although evolution may not have 100% proof and is therefore still considered a "theory", it probably needed to be somewhere around 90+% proven before science would accept this theory.Where as religion or creationism has been 0% proven. 90+% beats 0%....
