"God" - pretty far fetched
"Big Bang" - just as far fetched
evolution however is very real, even if it isn't genesis.
think about viruses that become drug resistant because of how we treat them
.... always keep searching, we are all lied to constantly

Extending to plants wich are living things, I was reading yesterday about how some weeds in New zealand have started to genetically mutate from over using weed killers such as round up. Now these weeds are becoming resistant to these chemicals. Would that not be evolution working? The plant has genetically altered overtime to survive.

Don't call this "New Age". It has nothing to do with mysticism. And really, mysticism has provided far better answers than any other theory I've seen. Why do people call it "New Age"? If it weren't for the church, it would be called "Really, Really Old Age."

You can't dispute that genetic variation and mutations lead in a gradual change in organisms...evolution happens.
Disputing that evolution is the primary course by which man came to be, and the only process responsible for developing life...I'm okay with that.
I'm hopeful that this thread can result in a great discussion on the subject
OP prepare to be roasted.
Look up the definition of the words new and age. They have nothing to do with mysticism unless you apply it.n This is the religion of the new age in my estimation.

I'm confused. Is this thread about creationism vs evolution, or are you more concerned with what other people believe?
On topic:
Why can't both be true? Who's to say that we weren't created and then left on this planet to evolve on our own? One theory or the other does not have more merit than the other, except evolution has more science behind it than creationism does. But it does not have all the answers. In the end I would be willing to bet a little bit of both are true.
As far as what people believe.....who cares? Their beliefs are no threat to your's. Believe what you want and I wouldn't care what others believe.

But over more time with more variations something would change into a different species. It would "evolve".

That's funny, because my beliefs have been referred to as "new age" and they have nothing to do with this. Sounds like an attempts to slap an unpopular label onto something to make it seem unpopular before it's even been examined.
The most simplistic explanation I have for it is that "God" made evolution happen. Although I have to say, your lack of supporting evidence and research kind of makes this look more like a rant than anything else. Perhaps you should throw a little substantiation in there before trying to make everyone else look stupid.
Otherwise, you make yourself look like a wanna be expert.edit on 13-12-2012 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)
