your beliveing everything your reading as well it appears PhilO. So because you have read these "facts" on evolution and you choose to believe them your not living in "la la land" when indeed there is evidence that disputes it??
you seem to think la la land is only a place if it disagrees with what you already made up your mind to believe is right. I choose to look at both sides of a subject myself.
have you even looked at any of the claims that the evidence you claim is so untouchable to see if it hold up or not??
I see that your just biased, not that there is anything wrong with being biased, but the least you could do is take into account there is another theory of how life originated apart from your own and it holds as much weight as yours (in my opinion more)
I am of the mind , and this is speaking of personal opinion, that evolution could not work by itself as a singular process by itself. I belive there is something pulling its strings behind it if it does exist. How can you have a eco system that every creature plant and species benifits from and can only survive in, do to how the other species are as well within that eco system, and have species randomly mutating into other species. If that takes place that new breed of creature would disrupt the eco system it is in. It would take millions and millions of years for the other creatures to adapt to it correct?
what i am getting at is look at nature and look at our world. These things did not randomly fall into place to help along life. The enviroment wehave is far to complex and intracit and works to well in itself to be random. There is a designers signature all over it. Its not hard to see.
so wether you want to be religeos or not is up to you. But to scoff at people saying there is a creator is pretty dull in my opinion. Its another view other than your own and its quite valid.
I don't understand why it's so hard for some religious people to possible accept the "idea" at least, that we may have evolved from Apes. I happen to believe in Evolution, just because....it is more tangible and makes more sense than God creating one Man to lavish in the Garden of Eden, and then a woman from his rib-bone.
But meh, why do I care? I'll probably burn in Hell with the rest of the world, right? 😉

Well, do you understand why it is so hard for certain atheist to accept the "idea" at least, that we were created?
Now if you think that spontaneous generation makes more sense than life creating life, I must completely disagree. Though is but the tip of iceburg, I wonder how you qualify your statement. What is so believable about spontaneous generation?
Were we to see a fully assembled plane would you find it more believable that it was the result of spontaneous generation or the result of creation?
i don't understand exactly how god created man, but it makes more sense when you look around you at our world that there was a "guiding hand" so to speak. I think people that think that the universe happened from an explosion from out of nowhere exibit just as much faith as a christian does. your not relying on fact, you aare using just as much faith as a believer in god does. Only their faith tells them that there is a god that loves them, and your faith says your a step above a monkey and you will eventually became food for worms
There is one thing common in the mode of thinking by creationists: You can't wrap your brains around the passage of millions and millions of years - over such a long time period anything and everything happens, all possibilities, all permutations of forms. When you think about that it's pretty obvious how things can develop naturally without a divine designer. Over millions of years mutations perfect themselves into new generations of species - they DON'T disrupt the eco system, rather they survive in a changed environment while those species which did not mutate die out.
The most flawed reasoning by creationists is they argue that there has to be a god who designed everything, while they cannot explain how this god are able to be omnipotent without having been created himself - they say that he's eternal with no cause. NOW why can't we just say then that existence itself is omnipotent and eternal and completely independent as its own sustainer? Why does a god have to be imposed onto an existence which itself can have the same power as that of a god?
Its called adaptation
You clearly have no grasp on what evolution is. A species evolves into a new one when a population adapts to be able to live in their environment through natural selection.
And MC Mike got the next bit that I wanted to say...that we did NOT evolve from apes, but that apes and humans share a common ancestor. Anyone wants to refute that, then they can explain why humans and apes have 99.9% of the same DNA and are nearly structurally identical.
Clickclick, you keep speaking of this scientific evidence for creationism. Why don't you actually post it? And do NOT play off your whole "you don't want to hear it" bit. Either show the proof or shut up.
As for spontaneous generation -- there is scientific proof that it is possible. I did research on it for an AP Biology class project last year and they were able to perform spontaneous generation in a lab. So yes, it is possible, it can happen, and there is PROOF for this.
And I have seen nothing yet that refutes evolution, like clickclick so often says that science does...in fact, I've seen science do nothing but support the theory of evolution!
BTW, evolution IS a scientific theory. There is a load of evidence to back it up. What does creationism have to back it up? A book that is, at best, a work of fiction.

By all means please explain the abiogenesis your AP biology class accomplished? Its funny cuz here I thought it has never happend, the odds were virtually impossible (even in 100 billion years or more) and there in your high school science class, you managed to do it.
Puported by evolutionists, our most common ancestor would be chimps and they most certainly do not have 99.9 % of our DNA sequence. Try 95 %.
Again, more to say later but im interested about your science class experiment.
When did I ever say my class was able to do abiogenisis...had you bothered to actually read you would see it clearly says that I did research on abiogenisis for a project for my AP Bio class. In doing my research I discovered that in a lab, scientists were indeed able to simulate the conditions required for abiogenesis and that it occured.

Chimps does share 99% of our DNA - that's a FACT! BUT chimps are not our common ancestor - we and chimps share a common ancestor - a primitive ape species which DON'T exist today. This misconception held by most creationists that evolution claims we evolved from apes or chimps in existence today is ridiculous. If you knew anything at all about evolution of the Hominid, you would never have stated anything so telling of your ignorance. Do your homework before you claim to know anything of evolution.
Chimps share most of our dna, but we are like 'brothers', sharing a common ancestor - we don't come from chimps you imbecil.
Ask any evolutionary scientist or paleontologist and they'll tell you exactly what I told you - just go read up on human evolution to see that evolutionists say we and chimps share a common ancestor.
Philo, you are correct. I worded that one incorrectly. Most common relative is what I should have said.
Anyway, likewise I have heard that it was 99 percent but ive also read by reliable sources that it was rather 95 percent. This was reported by CNN, etc and is out there if you want to have a look.
Good luck and peace.
