So what is it? Creation or Evolution? Both sides have continuously pointed out, flaws and loop holes in each others beliefs, where one side believes in God that created all things, and the other side where they believe in the big bang, and from that bacteria evolved over billions of years etc, to the stage we are at now.
Creation claims that, there is a God/Higher Being who created this world in order, and all was perfect, they don't believe that just be random chance did we come about. Creationists have high religious views which are all found in Genesis the book in the Bible, whose authors were all inspired by God to write material free of error. Having flawless information, they cannot be wrong.
Evolutionist instead of the Bible, their beliefs are based on science. their theory is the big bang, and from that things evolved, such as bacteria locked in the rocks, started to adapt to the surroundings around them finally bringing all things to the present state. Because their process takes billions of years to form, they don't believe that the Bible is correct because in science anything can be falsified when new evidence arises.
Creationist Ideas~
Creationist think that, nothing came by chance but we were made by reason and intelligent design. Using the Bible as their basis and evidence, they want to convey to others that we came around out of reasoning and not chance. "Michael J Behe" a creationist said "Irreducibly complex systems appear very unlikely to be produced by numerous, successive, slight modifications of prior systems", Creationists also believe nothing actually is getting better, but instead we are degenerating instead of evolving. (Intelligent Design? , 2008)
Evolutionist Ideas~
Evolutionist think that over huge periods of time our world formed and came together, approximately 15 billion years has this universe been around and about 4.5billions old is Earth.
One of the evolutionists respected scientists, well actually biologist was a man by the name of "Charles Darwin" he came up with the theory of natural selection. this is where strange mutations were allowed to live, eg. a crab with a human face on its shell would be tossed away back in the day. They believe that as time goes on we are getting better, or at least thinking differently.
I think that evolutionist should think harder about how the world came about, they have not talked about how the big bang actually started, their ideas of in the beginning there was nothing, then nothing exploded and then a whole universe was formed. their ideas of billions of years sounds more like guess work than facts, for it to really be true they would have to be there and see it, however thats impossible unless we one day invent a time machine.
To me creation seems more real, there is obviously a higher being out there thats used intelligent design or thats what they call it, everything seems to be put into place quite magnificently but many people who don't believe what the bible holds inside as truth, instead seeking evidence in front of their eyes.
Again i think these people cannot believe evolution theory as evolutionists themselves have not been to that time, but in fact they are just guessing that things just happen to get better over time, nothing they have is from seeing it happen but guessing.
The bible is written by many authors, all apparently inspired by God, there are actually scrolls or should i say hard copies of these books which are found in the bible, all by different authors all talking about same things, further more they are all from different times! Thats why i believe what is written inside the Bible, But most people don't believe there is a God, hence eliminating the whole idea of creation or intelligent design.
What are your opinions about evolution or creations please feel free to comment xD

Very interesting topic dan, I always wonder where we came from ,how we came from and is god really exist,Were we created or did we evolve randomly? The media often portrays the creation vs. evolution debate as science vs. religion, with creation being religious and evolution being scientific.it sounds really ironic isnt it? for me I believe in evolutionist more then creationist, because seeing is believe, I need evidence to persuade it.
Hey dan !!
Your blog I think is very very interesting. Because I am a very religious person and I do believe that everything was created by a higher being which is god, your blog caught my eye when it mentioned god!!. Not only that but the fact that there are still some people out there like those evolutionists who actually believe in that whole big bang thing. I have to agree with you on the creation because yes your right how could these so called evolutionists know what really happened?? they werent even there when the earth was created and so they werent able to witness what really happened and how this world came about. Personally I think the evolutionists are just a bunch of people who are anti christians and who are trying to get people to believe that there is no god and that there was no creation !!. i think this is appauling.But thats just my oponion everybody has theirs too.Well once again very interesting, but I am strongly sticking to the creationists side of the story.
I think this is also an intreging topic because people have so many different opinions. Personally i tend to lean towards the evolutionist theory. This is due to the science and the reality that is behind it because it makes sense to me.
I don't think there is a right or wrong answer to this question "How was the world created?" as people have the right to believe what they want.
So it will forever be an age long debate in my mind of religion vs evolution.
I totally sit on the fence on this particular topic. I believe in evolution because of all the scientific evidence but to me the big bang theory doesn't really explain where we come from in the very beginning. But honestly what can? So yeah I think there is some "higher being". But to be honest I really don't know! Also its so hard to discuss religion without offending anybody.
Hey guys thanks for your input, indeed this is an intriguing topic, thats why i chose it. i guess in this day and age, u might call me "religious" for siding with creation, but to me evolution has just as many flaws in it, as others attack religious views. i know its prolly hard to believe in something u dont see, but the question is did u see wat happened millions of years ago, its basically all guess work to me. hypothesis's. knowledge is acquired upon looking into it, as they say search and you will find. xD
Hey Dan,
Well I sort of believe a little bit in both. I think that the higher being (God) created everything in the start and made them adaptive to the surroundings. So therefore they evolved to their surroundings.
Always been easier to think about it for me in that context.
Anyway this topic mainly looks at the beliefs of people. No doubt they will dredge up something else later on with science that will point to something different. Then we will have another rangle about where we came from with more ideas clashing and scrapping it out to show that they hold the true identity to the origin of the Universe.

always an epic topic to debate ne dan - the reason why it's such an epic debate is that Christians and non-Christians are at polar opposites in terms of beliefs.
I'm non-Christian but share some of the same values which is interesting.
each side has it's story and it's own justification for how everything came about. The interesting thing is that with all the evidence presented on behalf of both sides, neither side has Conclusive evidence, "the bible" is said to be evidence enough, but a human being wrote the bible, so it is really something inspired by "faith" and not necessarily the truth. Almost all of Christians hold pure beliefs,
The thing that people get caught up in - I think - is with trying to prove/disprove each others beliefs. I think beliefs are what they are, and need not be discussed, it would save a whole lot of trouble,
very interesting blog bey, gets people thinking, it's a tricky topic!
