First you get good, then you get fast, then you get good and fast.
And nobody is belittling themeecer's religious beliefs. We are belittling his scientific beliefs.

All right. I was trying not to get sucked in to this, but anyway. . .
I'm not going to weigh in on the whole evolution vs. creationism argument because it's ultimately meaningless. Both sides, however, rely upon faith to support their beliefs. Faith in the Bible of faith in scientific methods to explain something that can't be proven. No one really knows what happened when the world was created. We can only provide our best "educated" guesses.

I´m suspecting this thread may get big and I try to keep this as my first/last post but I´d just like to correct this one a bit.
You say both sides rely on faith,I do not know how broad a consideration this is but that´s not entirely so.
There are 500 creation stories,then there is scientific method and assuming we´re talking evolutionary biology here (not all there is to it) the theory and fact of evolution which has stood the test of time and remains dominant,there´s no controversy over that.When someone comes up with a better theory and becomes world famous (notice that "just a theory" can´t exist.Theories don´t become laws.Theories are proven beyond reasonable doubt by definition) gets a Nobel prize etc. I´ll be there to shake a hand,I doubt that will happen anytime soon at least,considering that we´ve have been building on the foundation of modern biology for so long.
Anyway,what you say about nobody being there,that´s true while it does not mean it can´t and would not have been worked on.Since biological (not cosmic that astroscientists study) evolution is the case,it has little to say about the "creation" itself,what that ever means to one.To assume it is concerned with that is a common fallacy,if you´re concerned with that,cosmology would be a better pick of interest.Many,many people are still very ignorant of basic science (not actually referring to anyone in particular)
edit:
"My point is that the appearence of life, and the evolution of different species from a single cell formed in a primordial soup is only a best educated guess "
This is a very complex subject and being worked on,there are some good books around if you´re interested.
Besides this,the theory is pretty reasonable in the light of current models and experiments.Exact mechanisms are always the hardest thing to track down and "educated guess" refers to a hypothesis to be tested,with a reason for it´s being.

I do believe it was created, but the manner it was created, a literal 6 days or by divine power to set certain forces in motion that ultimately ended up where we are now is, in my humble estimation, mostly irrelevant.
In the interest of my point being more "objective" let's say "no one was around when the universe came into being." How's that?

Sure evolution exists. No doubt about it. Adaptions occur in biological systems that either help or hurt the species. The ones that help advance themselves and live on. That's easy.Originally posted by Former castleva

My point is that the appearence of life, and the evolution of different species from a single cell formed in a primordial soup is only a best educated guess (Irregardess if one believes that it was divinly inspired or a random biological occurance). All the evidence that science has to support its theories still rely, to some degree, on extrapolation. Whenever one connects two "dots" they have to assume that there is not another point between the two that won't change the plot of the line. That, in essence, is faith.
Evolution of man...
Anyone kept up with National Geographic lately?
You know that we were missing 2 skulls in the evolution "series" if you will?
We are only missing one now, that when placed in order will fully show evolution from ****erectus to ****sapien. h o m o. Stupid censor.
So... I dunno. This is a thread Ill get into to much trouble in so Im leaving.
i dont believe in any religion, not a single one, none at all
years and years... and where is my prize after years of religious belief? nowhere
all i got is grief from reality
i dont want to change my view of things (wich is what religions do), i want to change my reality itself (wich is what religions dont do)
"If you're havin girl problems i feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one"
"If you can't respect that your whole perspective is wack
Maybe you'll love me when i fade to black"
