To Make The Creationist A Little Steamy...

I'm an atheist - In the "bearded old chap" sort of respect. As one of those atheist types, I've noticed a great deal of "hahahhaha look at those idiotic creationist folk" on the internet over the last few years.

You (collectively) feel a sense of superiority over Christians who believe in a higher power creating us without ever stopping to consider whether evolution is actually the end all answer to existence. Darwin himself offered his thoughts that it most certainly wasn't.

The idea's present inside the Bible and the heads of many Christians are [in my own opinion] as far from the truth of our existence as a fable is to the reality it claims to address. What atheists fail to recognise from the Bible is it's historical value and it's ability to act as an allegory for how things may have transpired. Chinese whispers of these ancient tales has played its part in their distortion. Drop the organised religion part, trace the stories back, and there is something to gain from what is said in the Bible and other theistic holy scriptures.

Intelligent design is not a "ridiculous theory" and there is plenty of scientific evidence to back it up. The line between science and religion is blurring with research carried out by people like Zecheriah Sitchin who has studied the biblical creation stories all the way back to their origin in Ancient Sumer, where they were written about without dogma and in an entirely matter of fact fashion.

The Ancient Sumerians had no reservations in saying we were created in a higher beings image - just open your mind to the possibility of a higher being and what it might look like. It is something which athiests favorite weapon, science, claims there has to be(Drakes equation).

The Sumerians go into great detail about how our DNA was replicated, how the first ever human was called "Adam" (meaning worker in Hebrew) and how the first two people were "made" in Africa - something which science concurs.

By tracing mankinds gene pool through decoding our DNA, scientists have indeed traced back all of mankind two common ancestors in Africa. Adam and Eve? Who is to know, but since there is currently no specimen connecting modern man to our ancient Neanderthal and other "apelike" cousins then we will have to wait until science comes up with an answer.

Evolution certainly explains how apes and other creatures got to where they did, but it thus far fails to explain how we got here so fast. My fear is that science so desperately wants to connect us to neanderthal men that it will fight tooth and nail to find any evidence to prove it, even a shred of evidence would be enough. Just don't be surprised if some "rogue" scientist proclaims that intelligent design is the only solution to the problem of our painfully fast evolution out of the stone-age.

130,000 years is not long enough for us to evolve on our own, which is what current evidence suggests had to happen since it has now been proven that we "evolved" separately to the Neanderthals.

all my coworkers hate me, they call me monkey boy...stupid creationist, they keep yelling "it took 7 days!"

I'm a creationist.
I also believe in evolution though.
They are not black and white.
I believe we evolved ,but our evolution was controlled by God.
Christians don't like Darwin's theory because it doesn't mention God.
I know almost every catholic at my church believes this.
Besides we believe God is above time.
Maybe God inserted the seven days fact to change history in a way we may never know.
When it comes to God it is quite prideful and foolish to try and understand him/her/God to much.
God could also have done something like this by calling himself/herself/Godself a father.
It could be that men have changed it for power.
However I think God always knows what corrupted men do and God works with it and around it.
Damn it feels good to be a catholic.
