evolution or creationism?

Yes, and that the genetic code is universal. That to me, proves evolution, that we all descended from the same organism because everything living has DNA, and each species uses the same nucleotide base sequences to make the exact same protein. For example, the DNA sequence "AAA" codes for the amino acid phenyalanine in shrimp, humans, bacteria, dandelions, bats, actually in every organism that we know of. other base sequences work the same way, AUU will code for a protein XYZ in all organisms. UUU will code for another amino acid in all organisms. The question is how much of a protein is produced and how many genes are involved, which determines the differences between species. If we all werent related at all, each species would probably have a different way of constructing proteins.

details, details... There you go ruining people's lives with "facts".

Lol, just joking, you bring up some excellent points.

Thanks! I wanted to give enough information to support my point but I didnt want to bore people to death either. :)

I thought it was clever.

For all those who argue "nobody's ever been able to disprove god", well I'd like to tell you the truth. in reality, the universe is created and run by transdimentional, invisible, superintelligent turtles with nothing better to do. you can't prove it's not true, so that proves I'm right.

HAR! ARRRR! HAR!

Really? So, where did black people come from? Or Chinese, or native Americans, or any of the tens of thousands of species of new world animals? Quick now, Jesus wants you for a sunbeam!

I can't stand when people are 'offended' by what other people think or say about their religion. Especially when it contradicts people's religion.

Personally, I think the bible is bullshit, god is bullshit, angels, church, all of that, is bullshit. I think more than half the world is delirious. I think the bible is no more than a book to entertain and explain. If i offended you with my words, You just worry about yourself, and stop worrying about what other people say or think. Sure you can explain your side of the 'aguement' but i dont want to hear 'your words offended me'' crap. I think there is so much more to the universe than the human mind can ever comprehend. There are truths about this world and the universe that the human mind will NEVER understand. And i think the bible and all relgions, science even, are just ways to explain the world and the universe, however there is no way we will ever know if any of it is true.

If you believe I've said "no offence" before anything I've posted, then obliously you haven't read my posts. If I offend no one then I have failed.

Getting in here a bit late, but i believe very strongly in evelution, you've probebly alrady disscused all my reason already so i wont go over them again :p.

its been in court and the verdict was to teach evolution, like 80 yrs ago,
I wouldnt have thought it would have taken that long for you godidiots to evolve enough to get your heads out your asses. j

Ya, to be honest, there shouldn't even be any doubt as to whether evolution is right (and by right I mean the currently accepted model). Those who believe otherwise, in thingsl ike creationism, are frankly deluded.

That's like saying "No, gravity doesn't exist! What's really happening is that there are these monsters, who live in space, so our ancestors put tiny little magnets in our feet and metal under our carpet so we would stick to the Earth and be safe".

Okay, it's not really saying that, but you get the point.. When one thing, in this case evolution, has been proven to an extent (though I admit the finer points still need ironing out) and makes perfect sense and another thing has no proof whatsoever and doesn't even make any logical sense at all then there is no doubt as to which is correct. At least, there shouldn't be.

i read this in the Ohmaha World Herald and this a quote from a science teacher
"I beleave that god beleaves in evolution"

That's what I believe.
God sprouted Life.
