Which is the true story of the existence of life on our planet, creationism or evolution?
the answer could be that it is a combination of both. if the earth started out as superheated gas, were all the elements of the periodic table present in that gas?
as the gas cooled and oceans and rocks formed, none of this mass was alive, so how did we get the original building blocks of living tissue? if all these elements were lying around or floating in the sea, did chance encounter make them brush against each other to start
the combinations needed to begin life? what is life itself ? is it a protein, solid, gas? does it have mass, particles or other observable constituents? can it be measured or weighed?
when you get down to the sub-atomic particles, what is the life force? if all matter is made of superstrings or energy packets, why do some collections of these packets have life while others are inert? how does thought occur? we know how thought is transmitted and where it is stored, but what is it at its inception? how can a human being in repose and with no overt stimulus conceive a thought? a dog or a bird can act in resonse to a specific stimulus, but they can't compose a symphony. if evolution is correct, why are there not more animals that have developed the ability to think and speak? they have had billions of years to do so. intelligent design answers these questions to me far better than evolution.
