What is evolution?
Evolution: 1. A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form.

2. The theory that groups of organisms, as species, may change with passage of time so that descendants differ morphologically and physiologically from their ancestors.

With the above in mind, look at a virus. It is continually mutating and becoming more resistant to the human body and its defenses. It is trying to survive by adapting to its environment. This adaptation will eventually lead to a virus that cannot be defeated. Hence it has evolved into a superior organism.

Now humans, is it so hard to believe that we started as single celled proteins, that combined to form the first "living" organism? And from there the continual adaptation to the changing environment lead to more complex lifeforms until eventually we the living group of organisms that we know today.

Is it that "bible" thumpers are not comfortable with the idea of being related to the chimp family? Granted they pick their noses and eat the head lice off of their young, but still what really separates us from them?

And also, did your god give you the recipe for the creation of man? Nope, he just said out of the dust is man and from man I steal a rib and make woman.

Out of the dust. Could that mean that when the earth formed and the cells were floating around endlessy not combining that he nudged them together knowing what the result would be? And how would you explain that to a man that had the equivalent of a kindergarten education so that he could understand?

Maybe creation just means I proded life along this way and that till I got what I wanted. Look at star trek for example: When Q showed picard the instant life began or should I say when it didn't, because he made the to proteins miss each other. Or 2001 a space odyssey, again, an advanced race tampers with life on earth.

The difference between a successful person and others, is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will.

In the long run, we are our own demise, domed from the start.

I agree totally. I trust animals better then people. People will just backstab you and pretend to be your friend to your face. I'm glad I won't be around when the next stage of man is around. Some people wonder why there's so much killing in the world, that's just human nature to destroy.

Man is a virus

Not that all should survive on a moral standpoint. But evolution does not have to be by completely random natural processes. It can as easily be from us manipulating this gene and that and so on...
