Creationism vs. Evolution

Since ~s.o.s~ put a well-deserved end to a 1400 post thread (put a stake right through its tiny little heart) - I thought I would see if any one was interested in keeping the topic open.

If you do not think evolution is a valid theory, why.
If you think it is, why.

Do you believe in Creationism and/or Intelligent Design?
Do you believe in evolution?

Please note that I specifically used the words 'think' and 'believe'; please use them carefully - not interchangeably.
Imagine a world without hypotheticals....
You can have my book when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

I believe both -- God created everything, how he did it was through evolution.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

evolution/natural selection. It just makes sense

e.g

africa used to a nice jungley place
africa dried up - lots of trees died
lack of food for giraffes (selection pressure applied)
therefore short necked giraffes (common) died, but long neck (through natural variation) survived, as they had a selective advantage
therefore, giraffess with the gene for long necks became dominant.

evolution by natural selection and genetic variation.

Africa used to be a jungle gym. Then it dried up and became a dirt road.
That caused animals to become fast runners rather than good climbers, which is why we now have lions and zebras there rather than sloths and treefrogs
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

Creationism evolved from people who went to church too much.

I often debate this to myself, but I guess ultimately we won't know 'til the day we die. Although we may not even know then lol

which is hardly surprising. Those people created the church which, being created, concluded that creationism is valid.
And that church now teaches creationism to those people, who created that church to be always correct.

People were as foolish 5 thousand years ago as they are now. My proof that there is no evolution.
No one died when Clinton lied.

Darwin created the theory of evolution, which today is still just a theory, but I'll admit that it is a pretty darned good one too. No one will every know which if either is correct because there is no way to trace the evolution of man back to the origins of the earth. Nor can anyone prove the creationist theory.

Its all just speculation.

exactly.

A theory however, is not a guess. It is backed up by scientific fact and calculated deductions.

E.g compare the legbones of a whale, a man and a rabbit.
