What are your thought of this topic. I will later give everybody my Biblical thoughts when you all have time to chime in with your thoughts.

Creation. There is just no way the universe appeared all alone. Planets among galaxies ands millions of stars. Nature, water. It's so obvious to me that the simplest things were so carefully thought of, like dirt. How it nurtures plants and the botanic world. How a leaf has skin, and veins and it breathes. Where did these things come from? The most amazing is our bodies. How complex and intricate! Every little thing is there for a reason, we can heal ourselves. Our body does it's natural routine without help from us, cells and molecules by the million. How can anyone truly believe we evolved from something? And lets play the devil's advocate and say we evolved, well then the first thing had to be created! And how come there aren't monkeys that are as intelligent as we are? Gah, I could go on forever with questions. Creation all the way ;)

This my friend is te most inteligent answer thus far. I really like your thinking. I do agree with everything you have said, ecspecially about what indeed is the first living thing that something was supose to be evolved from. Our God Is an awsome God isn't He. It looks like not only do you follow the Holy word, but you smartly think things out to the letter as well. May God bless you my friend.

Evolution is a scam. At least Darwin's version of it is. If two people have a child then that child will be genetically similar to it's parents. In effect, it will have evolved into a combination of the two. If two monkeys have a child it will never, ever be a human baby. Evolution between species is ridiculous.

From a scholastic stand point I believe you are right on. Couple this with the first post o my question and it all ties in with how I believe in a Godly Creation.

Evolution is centered only to man and yet they cannot prove it already because they don't know where the ape came from. How about the other creations? Where did the other animals come from? And the trees and all the other plants? And the sun and the moon and the stars and other heavenly bodies? How would they explain? In creation, in the Holy Bible, all such things were explained. Evolution is a religion against God.

All Christians are creationists in one way or the other. And I think it is not fair to use the phrase 'creationist' only for those who believe that the earth is some 10,000 years old. I am a Christian and I firmly believe that God is the author of both the world and the Word. Therefore there will be no contradictions between what the Word says and what or how the world is. And if there appears contradictions there must be an error in our interpretation of either the world or the Word. So we must examine carefully how we interpret both the texts, namely the world and the Word. Having said that, my interpretation of both the texts suggests that evolution is true as much as creation is true. My opinion is that Genesis 1 and 2 are not literal narrative, but they are semite poetic literature and therefore when we get the right literary genre we a 'framework view'. However I respect other ways of interpreting Genesis 1 and 2. And I think Christians need to grapple with the issue so that we get our hermeneutics right.

I believe that it just took God 6 days to create everything on earth and the heavens, as an Almighty God He don't need a lot of time to create them all. The question arises from the time he created the heavens and the earth (v.1) and the things he did on 6 days. There are those that suggests a time frame exists as with the birth of Cain and Abel, and the marrying of Cain. I believe the Bible did not lay out the time frame on these matters but rather gave importance to the truth that God created everything (Genesis 1, Colossians 1, John 1 and Hebrews 1)

Evolution, because we've seen it happen. Because of our understanding of evolution, we have been able to create medications which fight off pathogens. We've created new kinds of plants, and have come to an understanding of what causes things such as genetic diseases. Evolution is the driving factor of all those things and without our understanding of it, we wouldn't have half the things we have now. On creation - creation comes in many forms. There are many different types of creationist theories, none of which have any real evidence. If the creationism in question is that of the Christian bibles, then it is a definite 'no'. I do not, nor would not ever believe such a thing.

How long is one of Gods days? It could be as long as 100,000 million years. As for his moulding us into his image that is evolution and then He breathed His spirit into us. so I believe bout theories. You can see evolution all of the time as plants and animals are evolving (even if man is breeding for "better" traits) into different from their ancestors. So I believe in both theories.

I don't believe on evolution, coz if it is true how come a man now do not become any kind of creature? A man will come from a man, and monkey will come from a monkey and there is no way a man will come from a monkey or from any other creature. I do believe that man are from God together with the other creatures.

Evolution since it makes more sense and has less inconsistencies.

Creation and Evolution are one and the same. I don't pretent to understand all things. Neither should you.
