Of course you can. There are many scientist who are creationist. They cannot discredit the fact of 1 billion years of life before man, at the same time they believe in creation via God or gods. Enjoy your cake.

Einstien. When I was in bootcamp, I made the mistake of saying scientists don't believe in God. This guy came unglued (bootcamp stress). He was a big fan of Einstien and assured me that not only was Einstien one of the smartest but also the greatest believer. I had to apoligize or he would never speak to me again.

I tend to agree, the theory of evolution could be a directed route to a higher life form? Which would make God more of a separate genesis of being.

Where is the evidence of Evolution as a creation method?

In the imagination of your own mind.

I can believe that plant and animals evolve or physically adept to their environment - and this would make perfect sense, and it isn't to difficult tor me to believe that it was God's wisdom who built this into the DNA.

This is what I have difficulty with - no amount of evolution could make one single animal on this earth so far more superior that they could land one of their own on the moon or build a bomb that could destroy this very earth.

The scientific community has missed this one. They've excepted the this theory of evolution and excepted a belief that one species could do this while all the others could not.

There is something more here. I will tell you this - when you think you have all the answers then you've missed something - and the scientific community has missed a big one.

Ethereal- if you want the evidence straight up, you will need to first learn the basics of evolution and secondly- understand it. If you never have learnt the basics of evolution, go read a book from a library- such as the Origin of Life. There are hundreds upon hundreds of information sources. I can help and give you some evidence to start off, if you want, as I am majoring in evolutionary biology at university now. Heres some basic fundamental information to start you off with:

1. Fossil evidence shows:
- transitional link between groups of organisms
- geological time scale
- mass extinctions

2. Biogeographical evidence shows:
- biogeography
- continental drift
- environmental adaptations

3. Anatomical Evidence shows:
-differences/similarities between organisms (structures and functions)
- homologous structures
- analogous structures
- vestigial structures

4. Biochemical evidence shows:
- DNA sequences
- amino acid sequences

The evidence just isn't there it is all fiction and poor Darwin must have rolled over in his grave when the platypus turned out to be a living creature.

Good use of logic and way to respond to Summit's post. At least it isn't saying "well, that's what I believe so there."

Aside from summit's information (As well as a plethora of it in other places) I would like to hear what creationism quacks say about wisdom teeth.

The scientific community knows exactly why we have them.

Creationism vs evolution is less of a debate than the world being flat vs the world being round... at least back then there wasn't real evidence pointing against the Christian flatheads. Now it's a new breed of repressed denial.

Certain species learned to fly a lot better than others. Certain species learned to swim a lot better than others. Humans aren't superior at everything... just whatever the apes were specializing in. That happened to be memory and the use of tools, which ended up being more powerful than the rest.

What's complicated about that?

Christians and their completely illogical beliefs are a lot like republicans: No one expects them to be logical so even a conversation debating evolution can take place.

How do you explain the following:

1. Lack of fossil evidence
There are only a handful of supposed examples of transition creatures but most of them either been rejected as fakes or are inconclusive. If evolution was true you would expect to find millions and millions of incomplete fossils. Evolutionists are so at odds to explain this that they are now coming up with a new solution which is that you would not find any fossil evidence because evolution happened much quicker than we originally thought (BTW that is not evolution at all). Also fossils and trees have been found going through several layers of rock that are supposidly took millions and millions of years to form. According to the Bible there was a world wide flood that would have wiped out all but a handful of creatures (those on the ark). The flood would have dumped layers upon layers of sediments. The Grand Canyon is now thought by evolutionists to have been cased by something other than the colorado river. This is the only way to explain these fossils and things. The flood would have transformed the earth amazingly and could have caused the contiments to split apart. The Bible states at the begining there was a land mass.

2. environmental adaptations are micro evolution (what makes you look different from your brother). These is completely different to Darwinian evolution.

3. I will challenge these later.

4.

quote:
- DNA sequences
- amino acid sequences

are you sure you want these to go do as evidence for evolution? It speaks more of a creator than the outcome of mere chance?
Also how do you explain the 'irreducible complexity' of cells?

This is really just a 3 minute objection to Summits thoughts?

None of that has anything to do with evolution as a creation method. Sure species evolve constantly, the frog is a good example of adaptive evolution but adaptive evolution also only works within it's specific species (dogs do not evolve into cats). Also it cannot explain where the world came from

We are a specied of ape, just like wolves are a breed of dog.

Another question.

Why the hell are Adam and Eve white? Are you saying that a white person is more pure to the original species of human than a colored person? Isn't that reasonable justification for persecution and racism? Yet another example of subtle bigotry implanted in the racist religion that is Christianity.

While evolution could very well be a part of the puzzle, it is only a part of the puzzle.

There is far more than evolution involved in the creation of humankind.

Proof is the fact that we are so far more superior.

and

Evolution adapts one to their environment while we have overcome our environment - such that we are a threat to it, unlike all the other animals on this earth.

I have no idea if Adam and Eve were white, they probably were not. Jesus was Galilean and He was probably more black than white.

To be honest, the vast number of pictorial depictions of Jesus being a negro must have escaped my experiences in life for I was under the impression that Christians view Jesus as white, just as they view Adam and Eve as white.

I could be wrong though.
