What I would like to know is who decides what the species evolves into? Who came up with the plan gills work? Evolution suggests that nature would have to have some sort of thinking power in order to think of gills, and claws, and how we recycle air through trees, and how our bodies work. To think that nature thinks, of course, is not possible. If you want to argue this with "oh, the theory of natural selection of course decides what species evolve into" then take a look at how complex they are, and if you say well, nature made mistakes in evolution where gills didn't work, or claws came about because creatures needed something to defend themselves with. then you still run into my statment i made above about how does nature know the claws would work? I'm proposing evolution with a mind to it. Oviously if evolution does exsist, then it has to have some kind of thought behind it as to where to go. In my bielive it is God, you may bielive what ever higher being you chose.

Your missing my piont, I understand about natural selection and such, but what i'm asking is what decides the next mutation is going to work? Sure, they adapt to their surroundings and other species around them, but what decides the best mutation is going to be gills? and who thinks how should gills work in order to be a functioning part of that creature? don't get me wrong, I bielive in some form of evolution, i just bielive it was caused by god.

ok, now that i know where your all comeing from i just have one more question, do you bielive in punctuated evolution or gradual? also, the response earlier saying that they could of made a gills and other breathing aparates for that, my response is who decided that air was a good source to live off of and how to collect it into a breathing aparateus? did the creatures just do it volintarly? Also a response to earlier posts about christians being biast to there faith, many of you are biast to your beliefs as well. Thank you all for reading my post and explaining some of your bielieves to me.
P.S. there is a serious lack of people supporting creation in this forum, lol, it makes it hard for a debat with out support.
