I have a feeling that a lot of what I say isn't going to be understood very well
oh well... 

Hey assassin,

Try to answer this:
Which comes first the chicken or the egg? lol

The boats that we make are intelligently designed, yeah
but what reason do you have to say that humans are intelligently designed too?
We have evidence that boats were intelligently designed, but not that we were.

I have good reason to believe that humans were designed by genetic mutations and natural selection over time (that is what evolution is)

Here's the basics of evolution: http://war-lords.net/open-chat/basic-macro-(large-scale)-evolution

Spartan had a great answer to your chicken/egg question, I was impressed

Since DNA can be modified only before birth, a mutation must have taken place at conception or within an egg such that an animal similar to a chicken, but not a chicken, laid the first chicken eggs. These eggs then hatched into chickens that inbred to produce a living population. Hence, in this light, both the chicken and the structure of its egg evolved simultaneously from birds that, while not of the same exact species, gradually became more and more like present-day chickens over time.

I dont agree with this because, the theory of evolution is just a theory it hasnt been proven and it wasnt observed which means there is no evidence.

Gravity is also "just a theory", as is electricity, as is medical science (which provides cures for many disease/illnesses).


But according to evidence, each of these theories "fit" reality.

You know cancer right? The many different types of cancer are examples of genetic mutations that went out of hand.

So basically, the mutations happen randomly, or by natural mutagens (things like radiation, x rays, or some chemicals which can change the structure of DNA). That's why a lot of people try to stay out of the sun when it's very hot, because they want to avoid UV radiation from the sun, because it can mutate the DNA in their skin cells and cause skin cancer (which can kill them!).

And then natural, or artificial selection happens over time. The creatures who are best suited to survive (those who have had good mutations which have helped them, are more likely to survive than those who have had bad mutations). And logically, those who survive the longest, will most likely have the most children/offspring. So, their DNA will be passed on through the generations, until better mutations occur, and that new mutated DNA gets passed down. That process happens over time (days, months, years, thousands of years, millions), until the creature at the end of the process may very well be unrecognisable from the original creature at the start of the process.

What part of that do you disagree with?
