To me it sounds logical that if we humans know nothing of where we come from, what happens after you die, what's the meaning of life and so on, then ideas that give answer to those questions are gonna pop up and become popular.

if there is a god maybe we arent meant to know until we do die and meet our maker (if there is one)

Maybe there is a god that created our planet and it wanted the world and life to be a little dynamic and yet autonomous, so he created "evolution"

I don't believe it, but it's as good a maybe as many others.

if your saying evolution as in we evolved from monkeys than i dont believe that, were there cavemen? i would have to say yes. and of course people change how they look over time, i guarantee no one will look how we do now another 2000 years from now.

Why don't you believe it? Because it just seems wrong to you?

A lot of christians in Norway and Europe in general believe in both. Evolution has even been defended by official members of the vatican.

Ex. >> Vatican Official Defends Evolution Against 'Useless' Creationism

In other words, the gap between religion and science seems much wider in the USA .. Where I'm at, I'd say the two coexist quite peacefully.

edit :

However, in Norway, christianity as a subject has been taken out of school. Now they teach "religion" instead where you learn about every major religion. It's working rather well, I think. I'll admit I wish other nations would do the same.

Ok you think about it... If you take all the faiths and belifes and put them together then you would see that these are all designed based on the design of culture. You have the Quran A muslim bible of sorts and it blatantly degrades women and tells Man that he is all mighty so on and so forth. There are obviously to many religions to believe that yours is right. How about religions that have sacrifice is that ok? Suicide is a sin in our bible punishable by going to hell. These are so jacked. Alah is supposed to give x amount of virgins to ppl who prasie him such as suicide bombers... Thats really far out there. Like I said made to keep ppl in line (brainwashed to do what is requested of them for there god(s)) You have to understand that so many things that are human nature are considered sins which to me is really strange. Either way its ultimatly up to you. This earth was formed after the big bang. The big bang its self is where space and time collided ... Before that there was nothing.
