This thread is not intended as a debate... but I know that it will probably become one and that's OK. However what I really want to know is how you each view evolution. I have not a completely formed opinion as of yet. But this is my basis.
God created our universe long before he created man.
Plants and creatures evolved from some very basic like-kind species created by God.
Everything did not evolve on its own from little specks of life and become animals and plants and even people. (Is that what some of you think?)
I find this exceedingly hard to believe since the only life that had existed was reptile. So if one was to rule out God then why wouldnât life have begun again as it was before?
I also do not think that humans evolved from apes.
I do think at the beginning of our time man's appearance was similar to that of the ape. But we did not branch from the ape ... at least not merely through the process of evolution. Our intelligence and capacity to grow mentally and spiritually separates us from all other animals. God created us as humans. We have thus evolved into the people that we are today.
That is the basis of my opinion.
I am not closed-minded. I am interested in your opinions. So tell me in your own words. What is evolution to you?
