Sweet.

I love the controversy at the end lol, like it might be out a bit.

[luvmsiahatethegov]

Its "dissuade".

In my opinion, there isn't enough evidence to support either creationism or evolution. Both have their own loopholes and weaknesses.

Therefore, I believe in a mixture of both. Someone started us and then allowed evolution to do the rest.

Thanks, fixed. I realy shoud spelchek wot I right first.

[Ko252]

wrong. the creanism arguement is based on god and the discribtion by the bible. what if the hinduism or islam is right? second: you cannot compare the weaknesses of evolution with creationism, since evolution is based upon tremendous evidence, in biology, medicine, microbiology etc. Further on, the evolution theory and the theory of origin life is independent. The evolution theory is about the evolotion and fitting of organism trough genetic alteration, while the theory of origin of life is not

[mddawson1]

The strongest evidence for evolution imo are the 19,000+ Endogenous Retroviruses found in exactly the same positions in human & chimp DNA. As the video watch?v=TUxLR9hdorI points out, the only way this could have occurred is if we shared a common ancestor. You are correct about the term evolution = descent with modification.

[Ko252]

i must admit i didnt know that. The problem though, is that the creationist will say that it is such because of god made them this way.

[mddawson1]

Then just ask them why god would place fragments of long extinct virus in our genome?

[Ko252]

well, they usually answer such with: God is mysterious, he has his own reasons, etc.

[mddawson1]

...followed with exactly how God wants us to live, think, what to read & eat, etc. How can they live with such contrary ideas?

[Ko252]

because they're christians?
