Foolishness of christianity (creationist) and evolution.?

I think it is time that both parties admit to the foolishness of what is believed (stick with me here):

Christianity: We believe (yes, I am a Christian) that an eternal, all powerful spirit created all things, including time. He made people, who disobeyed him, so a part of God, who is fully God came as a man, being completely man and completely God and was murdered for our sakes.He was then resurrected, floated up into the sky, and sent to his followers the Spirit of God, (who is also God) to help them. One day, that man will come back again on a white horse to get all of those who believe in him.

Evolution: Nothing created everything. Usually described by the big bang in which there was nothingness that exploded and created all energy and matter. The earth was formed as a result, then when rain and lightning came together randomly a basic single cell creature was created. Over billions of years of mutation and replication it became every living creator on the face of the earth. Somehow these cells grew wings, lungs, gills, legs, scales, incredibly complex body parts and functions, etc. As these creators evolved they evolved with compatible mates, which had also evolved sexual organs though luckily one was male and the other female. The earth continues in this manner, until mankind came on the scene. Likely we and most creatures around us will evolve and become different creatures all together.

Any origin thesis and any religion sounds foolish... it just does. However, someone is right.

One gives hope, and purpose. The other says we are only chance, that we are accountable to no one, and death is the end of it all.

Lets respect one another, and share our thoughts.

and Christians remember: 1Co 1:18-19

(18) For the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those being lost, but to us being saved, it is the power of God.

(19) For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will set aside the understanding of the perceiving ones."

Update:

Red: So what does evolution say then? Where did it all come from? Or do you believe that time has no beginning? Is mass and energy eternal?

Update 2:

While I will admit that I lumped evolution and big bang together, I still supplied other sounding foolishness of evolution. Do not dodge it. If you do believe in evolution, what do you believe about origin (if not the big bang). I will say however, that it is usually accepted to mention the big band as the origin of evolution.

Update 3:

Evolutionist: Are you just full of hatered? Do you not see that i also claimed that my beliefs sound foolish. Just take a second to objectively evaluate what you believe. Set aside your hate, and emotions. See past your nit picking and get the point of my statements.

    According to evolution all creation came as a result of biochemical reactions, basically God was not involved. Any Christan who accepts this either lacks understanding or is not a true Christian. This goes in line with atheism. Before people accepted that there is God, some chose not to follow Him which is fair enough because everyone knew He created everything. Now that evolution says God had nothing to do with Creation it makes it easier for atheism to grow not just now but in future. Its from the devil to separate everyone from God so they think this life has no meaning. When people are depressed or sad they have no other hope etc. I hope you can understand what satan is trying to achieve with this

    First off, congratulations on caring enough about the truth to question what you were taught and actually look at the evidence. Regarding your question, an approach that might require the least change for you might be to assume that God specially created Adam and Eve as described in Genesis 2, but that other humans had already been created by that time through the process of evolution, in accordance with Genesis 1. Adam would thus be the first human to have a "living soul", and could still be the ancestor of all modern humans. Genesis 2 mentions that prior to Adam there was not a man to till the earth, but this could simply mean that the other humans hadn't discovered agriculture yet. This would also explain how Adam's sons were able to find wives and build cities. The "days" of Genesis 1 could still be literal days, but only from God's point of view. God supposedly stands in relation to the world as an author does in relation to his book. An author might take a day to write about a process that takes millions of years within the timeline of his story, and he might place that process either before or after something he'd written the previous day. Given those assumptions, I'm not aware of any evidence that would specifically disprove the events depicted in Genesis 3 regarding the Fall.

    There are reams of evidence to support both the big bang and evolution. There is little or no historical evidences to support many of the biblical stories. There is a fair amount of evidence that the hebrew bible stories were plagarized from much earlier myths (king sargon myth becomes moses, egyptian book of the dead becomes basis for ten commandments, gilgamesh epic becomes noah and the ark, horace or mithras becomes jesus). There is no evidence for example in history that the jews were ever in bondage in egypt, there is no first person histoircal evidences that jesus was ever a real person. In the sciences--one would continue to look at the big bang and evolution because the evidence supports them, if one looked at the abrahamic religons with a shred of intellectual honesty--one would clearly reject them out of hand for lack of historical support.

    Evolution has nothing to do with the Big Bang - completely different theories with different causes and results.

    Something from nothing is a religious concept - their deities, not a scientific on

    Evolution does not deal with the origins of life. It deals with the evolution of life. It says nothing about creation and, in fact, is completely compatible with all but the most fundamentalist of bible thumping religious beliefs.

    Nice straw-man there.

    Evolution: Says nothing of any kind about any "creation." Has nothing to do with the "Big Bang" (which most certainly does NOT say "nothingness exploded and created all energy and matter.")

    Has nothing to do with formation of the earth, or how the first "single cell creature" was created.

    If you're going to say something about evolution, you should probably say something about evolution -- not about some fantastical invention of distorted minds that has nothing at all to do with evolution.

    Let's respect facts, and learn about something before we attempt to refute it, ok?

    Peace.

    the only error is that with respect to the big bang theory, it's not nothing exploding, it's a singularity that contains all the matter in the universe. But you know, everything and nothing isn't that big of a difference.

    There is only one that is foolish. It happens to be in the Bible and has NO evidence to support it. Evolution however has A TON of evidence to support it. I'll go with the evidence.

    Evolution and the big bang have absolutely nothing to do with each other. The only thing they have in common with each other is vast mountains of EVIDENCE.

    And no, sorry, I simply can't respect people who ignore vast mountains of EVIDENCE and instead assert that they know better based on absolutely no knowledge of anything whatsoever. Get used to it.

    If you want to talk abiogenesis, then talk abiogenesis. Your weird transference of everything antithetical to your religion onto 'evolution' is just plain stupid.

    Dialectical to your something coming from nothing comment: How does 'something' just always exist?
