I was trying to explain to a friend of mine that maybe evolution and creation could come hand in hand. And she told me that in the bible it says "God created the heavans and the earth", and she said "how can you interpret that any other way" and i said "well i can say i created my english essay, but it took me two months, it didnt just appear in front of me". Im not too familiar with differnt theories of creation, so can someone tell me the reasons why creation and evolution cannot be joined?
​
I'm not a biologist but as I understand from those that are on this forum evolution primarily occured due to genetic mutations. All that biology can tell us is that they did occur. Why they occured is a totally different question.
​
Snow will tell you that they occured naturally. His knowledge of biology makes him an expert in his field but and can give him answers as to how evolution occured but it doesn't make him more expert than anybody else when it comes to why it occured.
​
For myself I believe that we are created by God but I'm quite perpared to leave it up to the scientists to tell me how God did it.

Drugs and evolution
It seems that many in the western world, including pregnant mothers, are taking drugs both legal and illegal in large quantities.
​
Many of these druga affect our immune system. It seems to me that some of the changes brought about on the individual through things such as antibiotics could have a permanent affect on future generations.
​
Any thoughts?
