How many users on these boards actually support "The Theory of Evolution"?

If the creation of life was so easy, why can't we do it? I wouldn't refer to it as wishful thinking, I would call it faith. I am by no means a "Bible Thumper", and I honestly don't feel that Christianity should be taught alongside evolution in public schools. However, it stands to reason in my opinion that we as humans cannot possibly understand something as beyond our comprehension as God would be.

Understaning and being able to do something with it is completely different.  We understand how gravity works, but we aren't able to shut it off or send the moon careening out of Earth's orbit.

What do you mean by 'why dont we create life?'  Do you mean why dont we re-invent Earth life, which isnt much of a stretch since we've mapped entire genmes of many species and understand what goes into every molecule of a cell, or do you mean why haven't we created a new form of life not related to pre-existing life?  In a sense we are trying to create 'new life,' but instead of blood and flesh it consists of electricity and metal.  Would you consider a machine that was able to build a replicate of itself or had more intelligence than an insect life?

If something is beyond our comprehension, and assuming those with religion are right and God had something to do with the Big Bang and creation of this universe, should we even concern ourselves with such things?  Ants dont concern themselves with the complexities of man, and man doesnt care what the ants think of him.  I have a hard time seeing the relationship between a superior being and man as being any different.

We were created in God's image, which means we are self aware, and have free will. An ant most likely barely has any thought other than self preservation, and survival. A robot is not life by the way.
