P.S for all those commenting on my posts, I never stated that evolution was wrong and creationism was right as in all honesty I really could care less. I just dont support when someone tries to belittle someone else's beliefs, and calls them idiots. I take bits and pieces from both sides of the spectrum because i don't fully believe in both as fact.

Again trying to take the pity route. I don't "belittle" people's beliefs. I merely state that if you believe in something so factually inaccurate as creationism, then you really are not a logical person. I admit that I went too far by calling you an idiot, but I think that by denying evolution as correct you are missing the point entirely and you are being the "ignorant" person.

how am i trying to take the pity route, you stated that" people who don't believe in evolution are idiot's" It is very logical to question scientific theories as well as religion because we are lied to by the mainstream media, elite's a good majority of the time. If anything questioning what were spoon fed these days is by far more logical than just going with the flow.

LOL did you read the previous 5 posts by all those people? Evolution is not being debated amongst scientists. It is one of the most provable and important scientific theories that we have. There is no point questioning it.... Why don't you get that?

now, let's slow down, here. you could say that the theory of evolution has some merit... after all, it COULD explain the many traits that living things on our planet have. however, at this point, the only physical evidence we have is a collection of warped bone fragments and other small fossils. whos to say, for example, that lucy wasn't an extinct primate species, or even a regular human?
to clarify, i believe the universe is many billions of years old. similarly, if you asked me if i believed dinosaurs or trilobites existed, i would say, without a doubt, "yes".... because we have more complete fossil evidence. do i think the theory evolution could be true? sure. does that mean intelligent design is false? absolutely not.
i do believe that there is a higher being out there. i do not follow religion, however, because not only are there many ways to interpret sacred writings, there are a great number of deviations regarding theology from culture to culture. the only way to find out the truth will be to wait and see, i suppose.

no where in that statement of mine did i say ID is false. I don't believe in it, but i dont mind others believing in it, but when they try and spread creationism - young earth theory etc - to others i think it wrong. Also bolded part is wrong. Scientists have THOUSANDS of fossils that explain evolution- transitional, ape like creatures etc etc. They also have physicsal evidence in the form of DNA, anatomical similarities, heriarchical pattern of living things etc etc. I don't mind people believing in whatever, as long as they dont force it onto others, and the case of young earth creationism and similiar ideas, they pass it onto, say, children as if it were fact./

you're missing my point.... i didn't say you called ID false. i apologize if my statement came across as that. i merely stated that there is still some reasonable doubt to the theory of evolution as we know it, while at the same time asserting that ID and evolution technically have no conflict with each other.
yes, we have many fossils that could point toward evolution. do broken bones and fossils paint an entire picture, though? not really. could they mean something? certainly. there is so much that we don't understand about evolution that to say it is undeniable based on what we currently have doesn't make much sense to me. feel free to disagree with me. in fact, i encourage you to do so. just remember that, like the bible or quran, fossils can be interpreted in many different ways.
