I believe in Evolution.
It's a lot more plausible than just being poofed here by some "god".

This is what I honestly believe.

Religion is okay, if you believe it then, hey. Good for you. I've read the Bible, and I am Atheist.

I believe in Natural Selection through nature over the course of hundreds of thousands of years.

well technically we were poofed no matter what. the big bang is pretty much the same thing and you cant say its not

I'm not sure, but I'm sure as hell that Creationism should not be taught in science classes...

I don't think so because it's only the "theory" because of people that believe in Creationism, and this is saying something because I believe in God

Because Science is based on observable and provable theories which is exactly what evolution is, observable and provable. Evolution is backed up by tons of evidence, it might as well be called fact.

Creationism on the other hand is a hypothesis based on very bad science and flawed arguments by scholars who lived hundreds of years before there were any better explanations.
The Big Bang doesn't prove that we were 'poofed' into existence, it proves that there was a time when the Universe existed in a singularity, nothing more. Nobody knows what happened before that.

Creationism should be taught in RE lessons, not Science lessons.

the human race has come along way in our understanding about how life started here on Earth. You must remember that the Bible was written thousands of years ago during a time when man had a limited understanding of life and the universe. So you can't take the words literally. Instead take them as what man understood at the point when the book was written. That's why at that time it was easier to say that God just snap his fingers and bam we apread. It was the authors understanding of life at that time. Today we understand allot more about how life is created, so God may have created us, but the process was more complicated then what is written in the Bible. It's just that man at that time didn't really understand how it was done. Remember that the Bible was written by man, influenced by God's words. So There is a God that created our whole universe, he may not be a human or ever had been a human, he could be something that is so great that we still today can not understand his true form. I could go on, but you get what I'm trying to say.
