What does this have to do with creation?
Creation:

Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?


Evolution:

Both... and no one has ever put forth a good reason why it shouldn't be both... at least not in light of the Bible and science.

Side note: I don't think you are going to get many votes on this forum because I would bet 80% of the people here don't know what Alleles are! Although they probably claim a FIRM conviction and knowledge of evolution!

Anonymous poetry. Cool.

Alvíssmál 20 It is named 'wind' with the Humans. But 'waverer' with [the Æsir] the gods. [The Vanir] the enchanting-rulers call it 'neigher' [making sounds like a horse]. The Jötnar 'shrieker' [during deadly arctic storms]. The Álfar 'whistler'. In Hel, [the dead] call it 'squall' [a sharp increase in wind speed before a rain]. Vindr heitir með mönnum. en váfuðr með goðum. kalla gneggjuð ginnregin. æpi jötnar. alfar dynfara. kalla í helju hviðuð.

For somebody who criticizes evolution as much as you do, I would expect you to know what that means.
I did look it up and the dictionary said it was a german word. Alleluia is a latin word.
There really is not much in the way of connection between Latin and German.

In case you missed it the question is do you accept evolution or God.
R we here because of blind chance or because God ordained it.

I don't know what kind of dictionary you use, but I'd advise you to throw it into the trash.

Alleles is greek based, not german. Alleluia is a hebrew based, not latin.

They aren't.

But more importantly, what in the world does the question have to do with "Creation & Evolution"?

There is no doubt that alleles exist and are very important. And Bible-believing Christians would agree that "Alleluia" is their response to all which God has created (including alleles.)

So the question is pointless.

But some Christian leaders have long been known for promoting false dichotomies. This is a great example. Why would anyone ever have to choose between an allele and a Hebrew praise word?

More like we're here because of random mutations acted upon in a non-random fashion by environmental pressures (I.e. Not due to simple "Blind chance")... or because your god ordained it.

Alleluia is a latin word.

A Latin transliteration of a Hebrew word is more accurate.


In case you missed it the question is do you accept evolution or God.

No. The question stated nothing of the sort.

And why do you assume the false dichotomy that evolution and God are opposing choices? Considering the huge number of American scientists who are theists, the question makes little sense. We accept that God established evolutionary processes to adapt living organisms to changing environments and to diversify the biosphere.

The Bible is fine with this concept so why would you oppose it?


R we here because of blind chance or because God ordained it.

It is hard to know where to begin with this many erroneous presuppositions.

As to "blind chance" the scriptures claim that God uses "chance" for his purposes and that he controls the outcome of the casting of lots. So once again we see a false dichotomy posed here.

As to "God ordaining" it, the Bible certainly states that God ordained chance.

And the evidence from creation itself tells us that God ordained evolutionary processes for His glory. (And the Bible says nothing which would deny the facts of evolution.)

Chance is not what is blind here.

I have said many times there is no conflict between Science and the Bible. What part of that are you having problems understanding?
The part where you say 'there is no conflict between Science and the Bible'.
If there were no conflicts how come most scientists don't believe the Bible is true?
I think you are saying something that you wish was true and not something that is true.

You are like the person who says 'I don't know what adultery is but I know it's wrong'.
