neither evolution nor creation can be completely proven. nonbody was there when God created the universe and likewise nobody was present when the big bang occured. I guess we choose which one to believe in and which one we dont. both evolution and creation are religions. Their followers believe in them by faith
I have two things to respond to this.
1)
Which creation stories should we teach? Don't you think Atum might become angry if we don't give him his due? What if people fail to learn about the great mound Nanih Wiya? Or the rock that Tagaloa grew while dwelling in the Expanse?
2) When there's overwhelming evidence, we discount unrealistic possibilities. For example, on the forum where we were asked to list our ages:
quote:
I wasn't able to witness my birth, so clearly I have no evidence to suggest how old I am. I would trust my birth certificate, but everyone's watch could have been going many times too fast. I could go by the number of birthday parties that I've had, but for all I know, in the past my family might have held parties every day, or even multiple times per day, and made them look like birthday parties.
In short, while the evidence says I'm 23, I'm going to have to go with me being 3 days 8 hours old.
