What form of creation do you believe in?

I am a mixture, in a way. I believe that God created the Big Bangs of the Universes and guided it's creation. Then, he created evolution. And that is what I believe happened. So in the human creation sense, I believe in evolution.

I extremely beleive in the Evoloution theory but I'm open to the other ones except the one about Adam and Eve.

The Evolution theory is not a creation theory. The theory of evolution does not state how life began, just that life (each species) has progressed (evolved) through several steps.

We had an evolution debate in this topic: http://www.startrekvoyager.com/viewtopic.php?t=17931 Unfortunately such debates inevitably involve creation.

But I do support the theory of evolution, simply because I have seen enough tentative proof to think it's the best tautology out there.

I tend to discount the Mars theory since I doubt that enough organisms could survive the heat of reentry into our atmosphere. Even if such extremophiles did survive, I doubt that they would seed far enough in range to develop a viable ecosphere that included plants and animals.

Alien colonization makes sense, so the only reason I didn't select it is because evolution is up there.

I prefer it over the alien hybrid since our DNA seems so similar to that of other primates--the other primates would have to be previous versions of an experiment.

I also don't like the Adam and Eve theory simply because if you accept evolution, there is no true 'starting point' for the human species, we started out as primates who eventually evolved along the Austro- and Homo. genii until we got to Homo Sapiens Sapiens. However, if you really examine the Bible closely, there are enough situations to support Evolution should you choose to interpret that way.

But you see, Evolution is not the starting point. In the case of Mars or Alien colonization, life would have evolved naturally from the seeds deposited here, since I doubt that an asteroid from Mars could deposit billions of plant and animal species onto the Earth.

As for how the universe was created, I support the Big Bang, as it is the most viable theory out there. I am willing to think that a supreme being caused the Big Bang, but I don't necessarily think so definitively.

(sigh) Looks like I have some work to do.

I disagree. Creation and Evolution have EVERYTHING to do with each other.

Hey RM, I think I have to disagree with you this time. The Bible explains creation in detail, and has nothing to do with evolution.

No, no! I didn't say that! God created all man. But Adam and Eve were created especially to bring forth messiah. I meant that it wasn't Adam and Eve alone through which came all people, everywhere. Mathmatically impossible.

All life on Earth is made up of amino acids. 20 of these are considered crucial to the making of protiens. Scientists have so far directly detected at least 4 of these in interstellar space. By simulating interstellar conditions on Earth, at least 3 more have been identified.

When discussing "life", I think we should say "terrestrial life", because that is the only kind of life we currently know about.

Evolution.

The E.T theories are interesting, but hardly believable. They fall into about the same category of likelihood as the Religious ones.

I'm unable to believe in Religion, simply, so thats why I choose Evolution.

The creation story. I'm sorry but I can't believe in the evolution theory. It's just not plausible to me.

I believe in E.T but I don't think they had anything to do with us.

Well, why not? If you hate Bush, logically, you don't vote for him, correct? You vote for his adversary, Kerry, whom, in the opinion of the person in question, is better than Bush.
