Creation vs evolution?

ok so im doing a debate in my speech class...
yup yup im a sofffmore yet and...I am a christian...so obviously im all for creation...

but...I just want to know what people think...
hope no one is offended in any way...
^^^

my questions:

1.which...

do you believe...creation or evolution?

2.why? what are your pros and cons?

3.a lot of details would be great! : ) God Bless...

Evolution.
Why was there Dinosaurs before Adam and Eve?

i'm not realy sure what you would call what i beileve in but i think that evelution is real, but god made it happen. he created the earth and through his creation he made evelution. i don't think that is impossible. god usses his creation in the bible to do things all the time. besides, don't you think that there has to be a creator for all the things in this world. what about time, do you think that all this could just be there? something had to create time and space, don't you think?

I believe in Creation. And I have included some links that may be of help to you, in gathering your information. God be with you during the debate.

umm CREATION DUH. ok, so the first reply.. there were dinosaurs before adam and eve who made those dinosaurs? we all came from something? ok? so where did that something come from? who made that something? ... GOD DID. why? nobody knows. but whether you have strong or weak faith. you know. not only because it is logical. but because it is hardcore evidence. remember... SCIENCE IS JUST A THEORY, and mostly opinion. dont let all of it fool you. :]

FOr your question sikashimmer,
I don't really know, but they all said that Dinosours came before Nabi Adam( and Eves!?). Nabi Adam lived more than 1000 years. Everything about the questions, no ideas, lol !

I believe in evolution because it's a scientific fact. We understand a great deal about how populations have changed over time both on the physical and genetic level to adapt to their environments. We use that science now to make medicines and vaccines that have proven success.

Evolution does NOT tell us exactly how life began - just how it has changed over time to become what it is today. That's where most people go wrong in their thinking.

I'll fun mail you with enough information you can debate your science teacher and win hands down.

I beleive in creation...

eleni says evolution is scientific fact
which... it's not... its a theory... not a fact

here's the deal...
there is a huge different between faith and fact...
people who believe in creation have a great deal of faith in God..
that's pretty much all that I rely on... my faith.

Haileybre:
I beg to differ. I have done a lot of research in both fields and from a purely scientific standing it definitely shows more that creation is fact. No matter what part of the debate you want to look at, evolution falls way way short. In fact if you look at Punctuated Equilibrium which is the new theory or concept, after Evolution was disproven by the Cambrian Explosion, it is in fact Creation. It was just given a different name.

It's just another pointless debate that neither side can prove...

captainassasssin:

Is that a concession? :-))

No...

I as always... was merely providing the CORRECT answer...

The difference is now I am debating

So... a synonymous question could be:

What is the point of pointless debate?

I don do circular debates. My stand is with scientific evidence for creation

...yet another unprovable standpoint.

Pick your poison :-))

No. I'll instead choose to realize that poison is POISONOUS... and pick none of them...

Good enough! Thanks for the conversation.

OK so I sent this to another topic so soem of this might not aply to you but some will help you great in your Debate

Ok so after reading many of the replies to the Question “Did humans evolve from ape or were Adam and eve the first people?” I have seen many answers that just didn’t make since and then I saw that many christens say things that don’t back up what we all believe in. many of you say “I believe in Creationism and the bible BUT you can never be sure!” That there is wrong if you REALLY believe in the bible you would know that is says it’s a blind faith meaning that even though you CAN NOT prove it you KNOW! That is it the only truth and there is nothing else. Because you see to have blind faith is like this... When the wind blows you can feel it and hear it but you CAN NOT see it well the christen faith is like that you Can’t see god but you can hear it and you can feel him every day so you know he’s there.
Also I saw someone say that they believe in God but not Jesus?? This makes no sense since Jesus is God in the flesh form meaning Jesus is God so there for your saying you don’t believe in God
Now for the guy who Said “Why the name Adam and Eve?” The bible was written by humans BUT they were inspired by god menaing god told them what to right that evry thing in the bible is Gods Word so if this si what you Believe then God named them.
Ok so next I saw a guy say … Has anyone noticed that everyone who is on the Adam and Eve side of the discussion only say things like.. well I’ll give you a better answer One- There Is more evidence Proving that Creation is more possible then evolution, Two- If I were to ask you the question where did humans come from you would say Apes then if I said where did apes come form you would say water animals if I asked where they cam form you would say …blah blah blah eventually you would get to saying that everything is made form cells then atoms then… WAIT! What? NOTHING but if you were to research what you are talking about there is something called Black Matter witch scientist day can not been seen or felt or Measured or anything so… isn’t that what you say to us how can we believe in something that cant be seen or touched or you say this “Who created god?” that is the classic Question of a evolutionist because you don’t believe in Something being created out of nothing BUT where did this so called black matter come from?? Hah you can NOT answer that so were equal there.. Three- What you are saying is that when this BIG BANG happened that everything fell where it needed to and in perfect order to make LIFE? I mean… how likely is that? The only way you could make me believe this is if you took a piece of paper and wrote 1-100,000,000,000 on it and had each number on a different piece of paper and threw it up in the air and when you picked it up you got number picked up in the same order of 1-100,000,000,000 then maby I would think that for 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 little atoms lined up PERFECTLY to make this place called earth I mean that’s crazy to think that Four- you guys Picked apes as our ancestors Because Our DNA and there DNA is SO close that it most be that were Cusins BUT DID YOU KNOW that a whales DNA is only one away from Human so why didn’t they pick the whale??
Did you know more people believe in Creation over Evolution?
I am willing to Re go over anything I have said and will agree that I am not perfect and may of messed up in this and will fix anything you point out please let em know what you think or if you have any Questions
Just a 16 year old kid with a love for god and always wanting to share about him and let others see this never ending love and become a part of this and that god loves you and is waiting for you in his kingdom and is calling for you and can cure you of your sickness and of you hate and fear and sadness and anything that you have because god has a amazing love that I know is true and its my joy to offer him myself to use me to plant the seeds in your heart and that he can one day come and harvest you.
