To continue on with the meat of this thread.... I havent read every word posted but have disagreed greatly with the majority of what has been posted..... You have voiced your opinions and they are yours to voice, on my end personally, you can throw all that evolution crap out the window! I think Darwin was a very stupid man, he went all over the world and saw all nature had to offer in all its intricate detail, and said, "evolution is the answer" What a Moron!!! I love and hate science, if you study science and cant figure out that a greater being "God" created everything, you are foolish in my eyes. Science proves gods existence and disproves evolution. There is no proof of evoloution, only speculation, there has been no species found in the midst of an evolutionary change. Have you ever looked at the supposed prehistoric human skulls that they found, they are 2 colours, 1 colour is actual bone that they found(very small skull area), then the other colour is what forms the whole shape of the monkey man skulls. And then they find hair on the skull, so prehistoric man is hairy all over, but they only found hair on the top of the skull, go figure??? I cant fathome how a person can study the complexity of just the small marine life enviroment that we try to sustain in our tanks and not belive that god created that life... If I had a big steel box and filled it with every seperate part of a car and shook it for a million years, do you think when I opened the box I would have a running perfectly torqued to spec car...???? I sure dont think so, yet the odds of a rock hitting earth and life starting, or you and myself comming from some sea goo are sooooo much higher..... many wont agree with my post, fair enough.....
In the bible God told us that we would be above all his other creations on earth, monkey is not my equal.....

Harsh, and no, you're wrong in assuming that those people who believe in evolution are ignorant or stupid. Let's be fair here; for some people, it is perfectly reasonable to believe in evolution, for others, creation. There's no definitive proof that says either is absolute (personally, I think both are wrong but have no solution to offer).

For all the naysayers to evolution: yes, macroevolution does have merit to it (see 21 proofs for macroevolution). Yes, indeterminant and intermediate fossils have been found, not all of them, but enough to say that they do exist (keep in mind that fossilization is a rarity at best).

To those who want to bash creation: Sometimes, using abberant mineralization to explain human footprints found alongside dinosaur footprints is hard to swallow.




Oh, a bit off tangent, but I don't by the "OMG, DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE ODDS OF THE EARTH BEING EXACTLY THE RIGHT DISTANCE FROM THE SUN TO SUPPORT LIFE AND SPINNING AT THE EXACT SPEED NEEDED TO MAINTAIN AN ATMOSPHERE, ETC, ETC, ETC" arguement.

Consider this: If you have six six-sided dice and you roll them six times, you will end up with six permutations of six in six results, with the odds of obtaining any given result as a function of x^y^z. Now let's take that logic and consider if you have six six-sided dice and are prepared to roll the infinite times. What's the result? Well, you're looking at something like infinite permutations of six in infinite results. Within those results, the chances of obtaining any unique permutation is COMPLETELY AND ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE.

Now, I know the universe is not infinite (well, so science tells me), but it is vast. So vast as to say that it is wholely feasible for there to be a unique, or otherwise, occurance of a planet that is EXACTLY THE RIGHT DISTANCE FROM THE SUN TO SUPPORT LIFE AND SPINNING AT THE EXACT SPEED NEEDED TO MAINTAIN ATMOSPHERE, ETC, ETC, ETC!!!
