How is it possible to question evolution?
I dont understand....
And what is the alternative theory?

God did it.

God is, by definition, a supernatural entity. Science is, by definition, the study of nature. Hence any theory that involves God is, by definition, not scientific.

This is somethingt that many people seems to struggle with. Once you put God i to any mix, science has to leave the room.

If you want to put God into a scientific theory as the ID crowd loves to do, then you must redefine God as a natural entity. And then you must admit that God has natural origins, and must make an attempt to explain those origins via natural means. Since theists resist such a "nature-based" property of God, all attempts to put God into a scientific theory is incoherent.

Oh yeah I agree completely that it adds nothing to be discussed beyond those 3 words, might as well say a wizard done it, it implies magic rather that reason there is no discussing it because it's just the one word which cannot be discussed it's "as it was written" in a book 1500 or so years ago. I personally find it odd that anyone believed in it then, I find it more strange that there are even more believers in it now, scary even more than strange if I'm honest that common sense is the minority in 2013.
