Thankyou for the kind words but...
What else would you use for Evolution? Evolution is the selection through natrual means of changes in the DNA code over time. There is little space to represent this fully and so I selected a representation of DNA as the best 'stand in' for this concept.
If I had chosen "Madonna of the rocks" then your comment in regard to 'religious art would be valid. I didn’t. As you well know the image used is from the 'Creation of Adam'. A universally well known image, that directly depicts God in the act of creation. I could not think of a more fitting image to symbolise creation, by a divine being(or intelligent agent).
Also from a design point of view the two sides worked together to create a nice curving flow from bottom left to top right
Not wanting to get into a fight: just wanted to state my rational.
Finally I do think the consensus it should be Evolution and Creation sans the -isms.

intresting, but has the unwanted side efect of creating a set of virtual scales that unintentionally implies greater value for what ever initial is placed at the top. It sets up 'higher-lower' 'top-bottom' conciderations that unfairly unballance the image and more importantly the infered value of the two sides in the viewer.

Re: My version
You have something nice happening with the line created across the monkey's back rolling into the curve of the foreground hills on the other side. But the typography is disastrously weak.
Whilst the choice of images is important I feel that the main purpose of this logo is to assert and set an identity for EvC as a whole. In that regard the text is just as important as the images, and if I’m honest, would suggest even more so.
The text exhibits as three utterly separate elements that stand off from each other, and don’t work as a whole, to sell the site’s identity. The ”VS’ is much bigger than the other two words, and thus dominates them. Drowning them out. You loose their message.
Finally the choice of colour for the text (three different strong colours) also serves to alienate each element, making them fight for dominance rather than working as cohesive whole.
It is worth having another look at the text, because as I said you do have the beginnings of something interesting with those background images. Have a look in the print media and on packaging and on TV and examine all those professionally designed logos out there. Keep an eye out for how strength, cohesiveness and balance are approached.

Noted. Bt Unfortunately the origional image (creation) has FAR less contrast thant he DNA image and without the golden highlights to ballance the blue ones on the DNA side the creo side looks very flat and lifeless. I will see what I can do to re-assert some definition into god's face and arm (the two key elements of the image).
Thanks for the feedback. this has been really usefull. we have allready gone from this
to this
which is much, much stronger . thakyou all
