umm.... punk eek fits right within evolution. it is basically like "evolution progresses for a bit, has a pit stop, progresses a bit more, waits for a while again and so on.

As for alternate possibilities, just assume that somehow it was exactly as genesis said. So yes, while aliens might have created us, if these were the same aliens that produced Jesus and whatnot then I see nothing wrong with praising them. I think we could rule out another deity; what possible reason would it have to prove another religion true?
fair enough. well I still don't know. In the case that a booming voice told me that literal creationism was true, I would wonder why that booming voice had provided such a deception, and wonder whether to trust it or not.

well I suppose that isn'T the topic of the thread  counter-questions are ok, but question-counter question - counter counter question can get boring after a while.

Reps: 9,274,249 (power: 9,291) | | | I voted I don't know (for lack of a better option), since evolution proven false does not mean that the Genesis account is true. However, after reading the discussion, I realize I misread the question. Still my answer will be I don't know. I would highly doubt the booming voice since he planted so much fake evidence. But then again, I could laugh that away and have a beer with the booming voice, since I'd say It would have a pretty good sense of humor in that way. It can't be the Christian God though, since I was always told the Christian God does not trick people that way.

I'm asking an honest question and so I am looking for honest answers. I do not have hidden motives.
That´s what I hate in hypothetical questions: when the asking person does not give enough informations, or gives contradicting informations.
1. If all forms of Evolution were falsified, I would have to look for a different explanation.
2. If 6 day creation was shown to be true, I would accept that, and adjust my position to a more biblical one.
3. If there was a booming voice from the sky that told me thing, I would try to verify it, and act according to the outcome.
So it depends on which of the events scattered throughout your post would happen.
