		<description>Dear Lord,

If you do exist, could you do us all one huge favor?  Could you please instruct your followers to attempt to properly understand and educate themselves about a subject such as evolution before they attempt to badly debunk it and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they know nothing of what they speak?  

Thank you, amen, hosanna, rama lama dingdong.</description>

		<description>"How do evolutionists explain how “something” came from “nothing?” Doesn’t “something” have to have a beginning? If “nothing” existed before the so-called “big bang” then from where came the “something” and what caused “the big bang?”"

Though evolutionists do not concern themselves with this at all, creationism and "Intelligent Design" do. Creationism and ID both claim that God created EVERYTHING from NOTHING. You are using the clock-maker argument. Since a clock is so complex, we know it must have had a creator. However, this line of thinking if flawed. For one, the clock maker had materials to make the clock. Also, what made the clock maker, who is obviously more complex than the object it created (it has to be). 

Have you ever considered an infinite regression? You should look it up. You should also look up string theory.

Absolutely NO RESPECTABLE SCIENTIST has ever said that the Big Bang started everything (meaning nothing existed before it). Actually, it doesn't say anything about what was before it. Quite frankly, it's not likely that we will ever know (or maybe we will, who knows). However, the Big Bang tells us how the universe came to be AS IT IS NOW. Nothing else.

Evolution describes the adaptations and changes that nature goes through to increase survival chances. It illustrates how we have changed &#38; evolved, and how we are still changing and evolving.

And just for the record, no one claims that our great grandparents were monkeys. Over time, humans (well, you have homo sapiens and a whole bunch of stuff that you can just research yourself) branched off from an ancestor that monkeys share. Why? I promise you can find that answer if you look for it in books or online.</description>

		<description>I love how oppenents of evolution always call it "chance mutations".  The most important (and awesome) part of evolution is natural selection, without that mammals would still be small rodent-like creatures scurrying underground to aviod being eaten.</description>

		<description>"“chance-by-chance mutations” have been disregarded"

I've never heard real biologists claim this.  I have heard of creationists claim this, but the general scientific consensus is in favor of chance-by-chance mutations.

"Please understand this"

First make your arguement understandable.</description>

		<description>""These “chance-by-chance mutations” have been disregarded and now the popular consensus amoung evolutionist is that there is a nature force guiding evolution to happen"" 

Proof? sources? quotes?

Being quite the supporter of evolution, I must have missed the memo on that. I can tell that there is indeed a "force" guiding evolution, it's called Natural Selection. meaning, those mutations which improve survivability survive.

If you need explanation of evolution, use google.

also, as a general hint on using forums: you respond on the forum, not over e-mail.</description>

		<description>Please explain to us this natural force that all the evolutionists now believe in, because I for one am unaware.  Unless you're talking about something like natural selection, anyways.</description>

		<description>Evolution is man invention to get around God.  Evolutionist once believed that evolution occured from sever microcosms creating a new species. These "chance-by-chance mutations" have been disregarded and now the popular consensus amoung evolutionist is that there is a nature force guiding evolution to happen, thus these nit wits are recreating a God. But more importantly they are creating their own God to which they don't have to listen.  A God that they can worship, hence the ulmity buck and other selfish desires. "It take more faith to believe Evolution than God."

I beseech you. Do not flatly deny what I have said.  Please understand this.  then voice your complaints 

If you don't agree and can thoroughly explain why, e-mail me at jordanv3131@yahoo.com</description>

		<description>Mohamed: " it was really perfect(Fairy taaaaaallllllllles)" 
 What the Quran? The Bible? The Torah?
 Total fantasy. At least scientific theory is tries to use evidence and empirical measurment. People writing down stories to explain stuff they don't understand is just fairy tales. Like Mohamed's explaination of conception. Apparently he thought women ejaculated during sex and if the woman's ejaculant was stronger the child would be a girl. If he was so knowing and perfect and full of God's wisdom. Why did he stuff up so badly on that one?</description>

		<description>Your father,

how could you know that the big bang happened, if you don’t beleive in god because you didn’t see him, how you beleive in the Called big bang and you didn’t even see it, so still god existence makes way better sense if you fairy tales sir.

How do you know that anything older than you existed before you were born? You obviously didn't see it exist. And I shouldn't even have to say this, but we can't exactly see a god either. We know that the Big Bang probably (and I do mean probably) happened because we have scientific evidence for it. On the other hand, there is a whole lot of scientific evidence AGAINST a(ny) god(s) (at least in the sense of an all-powerful, omniscient one that cares what you do)</description>

		<description>"First of all the big bang has no explanation"

So? Why does it to be explained to see that it happened? That's like saying gravity doesn't exist because we don't know how it works. We know objects with mass attract each other just like we know the universe expanded from a single point about 13.7 billion years ago.

"Can you tell me how the sun existed, and how we are in a perfect distance away from the sun, and I’m sure as you know if we got close to the sun just little distance, it will kill every thing"

We evolved to live on this planet, not the other way around.

"and please explain how the sun get the energy and the gases like hydrogyn, that keeps it going without delption, it’s all from the big bang."

ummm... you're right, stars formed billions of years after the big bang. There wasn't just one star created by the big bang. There are billions of galaxies each with billions of stars in each of them. Since life can happen in our universe there was bound to be at least one planet with the right conditions.

"I think we should worship the big bang, it was really perfect(Fairy taaaaaallllllllles)"

Why would anyone worship a natural phenomenon? 

By the way, even if the big bang "theory" was somehow proven false (or gravity or relativity for that matter), calling it a fairy tale doesn't exactly fit, because its not a story.</description>
