I would just like to say that I am a firm believer that God created the earth, and everything in and around it. This means that I think evolution is wrong. I know I don't have any facts to prove that God DID create the earth, but I DO believe that He did. I mean, you may say I don't have facts to prove it, but do ANY of you have facts to prove evolution? If you do, then you have NO more proof than I have proof that God created everything. I would just like someone, ANYONE to tell me where you get off saying that evolution is fact. Can anyone REALLY prove that evolution is fact? Can anyone REALLY prove that the solar system evolved? Can anyone REALLY prove that everyone was an "accident". I think not. You have good (but ridiculous) theories of how everything came together, but you, like I, have no proof, NOR leads that evolution ever, or still is happening. You may ask me questions about evolution and creation and tell me to answer it. I may not be able to, but that doesn't mean it isn't true, does it? And also, how is the Earth 5 BILLION years old anyways? If it where 5 BILLION years old, would it not be true that earth, and ALL other planets would be flat as a pancake? For example, Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet. The inertia of the matter on the planet itself would make it be flat. Even Venus, the slowest spinning planet, would be flat. I have proof of this because scientists have measured the rate of bulging at the equater and flattening at the poles on the planets, and found that it WOULD be flat. Now, how do you explain that? And how do you explain the origin of planets? Where did they come from? Dont say a cloud of gas came and started swirling around and created the sun, then 9 other planets, and 60 (or is it 61) moons. The reason I have against that is because gas EXPANDS, it doesnt compact together. And, where did that cloud come from? What about the retrograde motion of some of the planets and moons? If the planets where created by the cloud, where did the backward spinning motion of some of the planets, and moons, come from? Would it not inherit the original spinning motion of the cloud? How could the gas stop in space, and begin an orbit around nothing? Wouldn't it need a point to revolve around? Wouldn't all the planets be made of the same materials? I mean there are alot of different gases that earth is made from. How many other planets or moons have the same gases... NONE... shouldn't they ALL have the same? Some may have 1 or 2, maybe up to 5 gases the same, but not all, or even close to all, the same. There are tons of other theories, but I don't want to have to cover ALL of them right now. Just email me at Plaidboy44@aol.com to argue, or agree (I have a feeling the former will be more opted). Anyways, that is what I feel, and do with it what you will, but I just dont think that there is anything you people should believe that has anything to do with evolution.
