I believe that the idea of evolution is supported in the Bible as well as other holy books if people care to see it. Evolution as well as any science or religion is just an attempt to understand the world and universe so you are giong to have people agree and disagree with the different intepretations of the same thing. To me religion and science are the same. When I learn more about how this world operates, it helps me see more of how GOD operates because he created it. I also thinks humans are limited in their site so we have to break things down to understand the big picture or even part of the big picture where as GOD has already seen the beginning and end of the thing. So we deal things in time saying humans evolved from non-human or whatever the latest theory is because we cannot understand how GOD did it. I really dont think time exist outside of our minds anyway so maybe that influences my post...

God created Earth in 6 Days and rested the Seventh! How long was a Day?

Sat. is not acted upon as the 7 th Day but Sun. is, Why?

God Were Aliens who came to this planet and said lets start a species and see what evolves!

Are We the only People in the Wide, Wide Worls of the cosmos?

Heck yes, we have egos that are gigantic!:D We can prove it?:confused:

Fa La ,Tra La, ditty all day long!

Well . . .

Its interesting that people really debate this a lot.

Belief itself is a little flaky. I am a little more practical.

Creationism doesn't give us a working model that does us any good. We can't use Creationism to increase our understanding of the way our universe works that allows us to manipulate said Universe. Except to get down on our knees and Thank our Diety. whatever good that does.

Evolution gives us a better model to manipulate our environment. It teaches a little more about the interaction of life elements and what they do.

So its a more useful theory.

The problem is that our understanding of cellular evolution is better than our understanding of the evolution of organisms.

As h2hoot said, some of the time aspects in the fossil record don't make a lot of sense.

However, and someone correct me. Isn't there an idea out there that Homo Habilis and Homo Erectus might not be actual ancestors but just examples of Hominids that didn't make it? Kind of like Neanderthals being shown not be homo sapiens sapiens?

That would actually make the fossil record clearer if true. Buts it been a while since I studied physical anthropology.

in high school some girl made the argument that the theory of creationism is true because (i don't remember which) either guys or girls have an extra rib? yeah, people in santa fe, new mexico are dumb.

The thing that supports evolution where homo habilis and homo erectus are concerned is that homo saphien remains have not been found that date back to the same period that these early himinids belong to.

Religious folks will contend that carbon dating and ALL other methods of dating these remains are flawed:rolleyes:

I believe in Evolution.
