I thought I'd pre-empt this discussion before Kona's comment in the other thread sparked it off there. There is concrete proof that we evolved, but no proof that we were created. What's you're opinion, and why?

To quote Phoebe from Friends: "I guess the real question is who put those fossils there and why?"

Actually, the virus is actually probably the most evolved lifeform on earth (as in "best adapted for survival"). It mutates all the time, so much that it's almost impossible to erradicate.

There will still be virii long after any sign of humanity will have disapeared.

well we certainly are helping mush and mix up that virus stuff around really good making it mutate alil faster, maybe when we are gone it will slow down some?

Soory, Doreen, I just did a little research. Seems that my information was out of date.
Since the 90's, it's believe that although a wolf-like creature could be a far ancestor, it's not it's closest relative.

If you feel like a little scientific reading, this page has a little information: http://www.cresli.org/cresli/cetacean/cetaceans.html

I like whales, dolphins, elephants and dogs... and cats.

Have you ever thought of how animals and other life forms came to be? Who created them? Where did the first spider come from? What about the first fly? First lion? Do they believe in god?

whales are the best. and those dolphins, what friends they make! Their culture is so cool.

So now that evolution is clearly the way to go, how come it doesn't explain everything? Why one thumb? Why not six fingers and a thumb?

I think evolution explains allot more clearly than the Bible does about the details but what I gather from humans and human 'understanding' it is ever changing.


I truly believe (at this current time) it would be very hard to have faith in someone if everything is explained. Faith is different than assumptions as someone stated before.

So why would the worlds religions have a explicit answer? Created by man? Sure. Does it mean that the creation of it had no merit or basis in fact? I just don't know.


There are spaced in the evolution of humans. Maybe some missing link(s) or maybe assumed links never found.


We are at a current level of knowledge. At this point this is what we know much like the point where people had 'faith' knew what they knew to explain things. Now we explain them differently, does that make those in the past unwise? Creating a God to explain the world around them?


Believe it or not, a 'God' sort of speak controls or is involved with our development. The god of evolution and its laws or the god of creation and its law. We all fall under the realm of this Universe and this Universe is our God.

Hey, that kinda reminds me, did you know that cetaceans (sea mamals such as whales and dolphins) are actually thought to have been land animals that went back in the water? Guess what the ancestor of the whale is thought to be? The wolf. Funny.


One can observe great variation in a kind, and see the results of natural selection. For instance, dingoes, wolves and coyotes have developed over time as a result of natural selection operating on the information in the genes of the wolf/dog kind.

But no new information was produced — these varieties have resulted from rearrangement, and sorting out, of the information in the original dog kind. One kind has never been observed to change into a totally different kind with new information that previously did not exist!

Without a way to increase information, natural selection will not work as a mechanism for evolution.
