Come on...! I thought the Irish were more savvy than THAT...! Evolution IS creation! .."Man in the sky" indeed...! Off to confession now and ask the father forgiveness for being silly! That's three Hail Marys and two Lord's Prayers...(That's if he's not too busy screwing a choir boy!)
Could not vote, because the only men in the sky have been aboard space craft, and their are many religions. But, if Creation had been a choice, of the Omnipresence, I would have made that choice.
This one has alway bothered me in that I am a man of faith and should believe in the religious concept on how we were created, but science is difficult to overlook.

Maybe it's just a question of HOW God went about creating instead of the usual either/or.
Fallingman: Maybe it is. However, this goes back to the question of why man needed to create a God and why so many different ones with different personalities?
Archaeology and science have proven the evolutionary route resulting in mankind, we didn't just drop out of the sky 6,000 years ago according to the Bible. Why our brains are so superior to all the other life forms is the big mystery for me. But because we have the ability to question, answers are therefore required. If the answer is illusive, we then create one to pacify our enquiring, tormented minds. Children have fairy stories, adults have the bible. All are man made IMO.

I don't see why it couldn't be a bit of both to be honest...the world evolves but couldnt the ability to change and survive be a gift from the creators? Assuming we are children of sorts then it makes perfect sense to me that our parents would equip us with everything necessary for survival - the ability to change ones perceptions, environment and habits as necessary in order to survive.
I sure hope Ive helped equip my own daughter with enough of these skills that she evolves through life in a positive way. Will the fact that she continues to evolve as a human or even has that ability negate the fact that I played a 50% role in her creation? I think not.
Darwin, the creator of the idea of Evolution became a Christian in his last years before his death. His brother was a Priest, in fact Darwin had the Church sing Hymns outside his window before he died and he regreted ever coming up with Evolution. Fact, A meteor has never had a tree pop out of it. Find a meteor add water and nothing happens. Anyway, where did this Universe come from? From gases exploding? Scientifically it can never even be created in a lab so how can life come from a huge explosion when there would be no God or helping hand to make it happen? And oh, why does every one have a soul? Amazing things to think about for those who think they came from a fish or monkey.

Just a thought.
Thats a myth - he didnt, there are memoirs from his daughter, Henrietta, stating that the woman who made this claim didnt go anywhere near him at the time she claims to have had the converstaion with him if at all.....
This is just another illustration of religion grasping at straws to further promote their falsehoods.....

I dont know which to believe, if either, But who ever said that gods days are the same as ours. They could be a billion of our years long. And hes not done yet.

I was once at your stage too but its the other bits of evidence such as the many contradictions in the Bible or actual contemporary evidence of the Jesus person which swayed my decision

ali110: Islam is a religion and it is not made by man,it is given by God u have to understand first a religion
Well, the Creator is infinite, so why can't he give religion to man in an infinite number of ways? Why can't an infinite number of people be divinely inspired to write their culture's interpretation of Creation? Why do we have to be right or wrong in our religious beliefs? Why do we insist that "my God's bigger than your God" or "my Book is the one and only True Book?"
