well i'm not going to get into the religious part of this debate as religion is pretty much based on whether or not you believe there is a god. after reading through this thread the issue of religion is be debated more than the issue of evolution and creation be taught in schools.

First off, they are both theories which leaves both open for a ton of debate because they are nothing more than that, a theory. which pretty much means a guess. personally i believe there is a "god." i also don't believe that i am related to an ape and the fact that i don't think something as complex as our world and universe could be formed from a big bang.

numerous points in evolution have been disproved by science, not religion. from bones said to have been something that they are not to the whole carbon dating thing. carbon dating is only accuarate for a few thousand years so by the time you get to 140 million years you could be off by a 100 million years give or take. dinasaur bones are not carbon dated for this reason. in fact i was reading a report from 1990 of some dinasaur bones that were sent to be carbon dated as a test sample not saying what they were from and were found to be 9000-16000 years old. simple point carbon dating is not accurate so you cannot argue it as scientific fact. also dinasaurs supposedly lived millions of years before humans yet we have a footprint of a human inside a dinasaur footprint which is a fact if you didn't know.

we have had nothing evolve ever in our history. the missing link has never been found. why has everything stopped evolving?? the theory that everything evolved from single-celled organisms(thought to have been the simplest form of a living organism at the time this theory was formed) has now been proven that a single cell is far more complex than what scientists thought it once was.

i could go on forever, but what is the point. if you don't believe in a god or religion you can't possibly believe the earth was created so the only other logical option is evolution. neither one can be proved, hence why they are theories. the evolution theory has had many points disproved through science. the creation theory cannot be proved but has never had any aspect of it disproved.

i will also say that most info on either theory is biased mostly but if you have the time to sift through all the bull**** and find the actualy proven scientific facts, and not the ones that are subject to error, you might look at it in a different light.

religion has a bunch of crazy nuts in it so a lot of people write it off all together. personally i believe there is a god but i don't agree with most churches and their beliefs. we live in a far to complex world for everthing to happen by chance. if you don't believe in a god at all well i don't expect you to believe in creation but you can't deny some of the unexplained aspects, lots of times claimed as facts and scientific evidence, of the theory of evolution. we live in a country of choice and freedoms teach both theories, after all they are just theories, and let people decide for themself which on they believe.
