I personally believe Jehovah created man, because a smarter being had to have created the less inteligent man. although, I know that the creation theory isn't any better than evolution, because according to evolution, the gases that collided to create a big bang that made the planet have always been there, but the creation theory states that god has always been there. Neither one is a better idea, although most people do still have their beliefs.
if youre interested about debates about evolution and creation, learn more about the scopes trail (http://www.themonkeytrial.com/)
Well, i think that it might be possible each couldve happened, since 'seven days' doesnt necessarily mean seven days, it couldve happened as evolution. And maybe Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden for billions of years, who knows? And maybe their children had children with the people who evoluted!
What many people seem to miss understand is that evolutionist scientists don't say humans evolved from monkeys, they say humans and apes (and even further back other primates, monkeys and lemurs) have a COMMON ancestor. To say we evolved from monkeys is to say monekys and apes have not changed/evolved for millions or billions of years.
Haha XD Forgot to mention that, Merle. I was in no way saying I believed we evolved from monkeys. O.o I was speaking of how like, the earth developed...
Yes, that is very true. But, there is the difference between creating a painting/book and creating an entire universe. I would know, I'm a writer and an art lover. And a writer or painter cannot create anything near as complicated as the heavens and earth. Yes, writers and artists commonly create their own worlds. Like in His Dark Materials, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc. All different worlds created. And artists have often created their own animal species, in all their complexities. But we still have a base for our creations. We know that gravity exists. We may create an entire medieval world overrun with strange creatures, creating our own continents, etc. But we know that certain things are there. We know that gravity holds us on the earth, we know that our specific atomsphere is what keeps us alive, and so on. But the actual creation of the heavens and earth would require the creation of every single scientific theory. The creation of gravity, etc. I don't believe in the Big Band, persay, but I don't believe that God just waved his hands and everything appeared. I believe that the earth and heavens were created by the God and Goddess, but things were left alone to develop. Things evolved from inferior life forms, then split off into their own different groups and species.
What makes sense about evolution? God used amn to write the Bible by telling them what to write. God made MAN, not gorillas or whatever. Proof: (Genesis 1:27) "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." (Genesis 5:1) "This is the written account of Adam's line. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God." (Deuteronomy 4:32) "Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created man on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of?" GOD IS NOT A GORILLA, MONKEY, ETC!
Creation. The Bible says, very clearly- in fact, it's the first sentence in the Bible- "In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth." Think about this: everything has its creator. A painting is PAINTED by its creator, there wasn't a BOOM and it appeared. A story is written by the author. A soda can is made in a fcatory. So the Earth could not have been made by a boom. I am, by the way, a Christian.
I believe in Creationism, obviously. I must add, however, that Creationism has many different... Ah... Variants? For example, there <i>is</i> one view that corresponds with some parts of the evolution theory, namely how the earth has existed for millions of years, or whatever the evolutionists say (yes, I should do more research in that area). Some believe that the time period between the first few scriptures in Genesis are actually millions of years. Since the Bible doesn't specifically say anything to disprove that, it's a valid as any Creationism opinion. Anyway, I don't believe this was mentioned....
I believe in Creation. Sure, things HAVE evolved but not the way many scientists beleive. Things were set in motion at a certain point. Humans were humans and monkeys were monkeys. (If you believe in the great flood) Let's take monkeys for example. How many different species of monkeys(and apes) are there in the world? They were not all there 3000 years ago. Things have changed. Also, go to a renound scientist and ask him if something can come from nothing. He WILL say no. So, how did that scientific Big Bang come to be? It didn't. Simple. There HAS to be a higher plane of existence (I call it GOD) Someone had to create the universe. Something can't come of nothing. For the record - I'm Morman.
