well i personally don't see why evolution should be wrong. all organisms grow and evolve over time. so if a species can evolve to where a specific trait is common in the entire species (natural selection), then why can a species not evolve into another species? to the point, my idea of evolution is that if different species share a genetic trait (such as they both have gills, or they both have wings) then the species could have come from a common ancestor.
i believe that everything could have been designed puposefully because life seems to run in perfect cycles. the water cycle, the carbon cycle, etc. predaters eat prey, the dead predaters feed the earth, and the prey eats plants from the earth. our bodys seem to function in cycles. cells replicate. in cellular respiration, we actually use ATP in order to create ATP. i think the question: "which came first, chicken or egg?" is the most fascinating wuestion, because it can be applied to any of these cycles. when did any of them begin. life replicates and reproduces, but if life creates life, then how did the cycle begin? where did the first life come from? these are the questions that have lead me to believe that we were created by something that we do not understand (you can call it god if you want).
so i believe in a god or origin or creater. as for genisis, i do not think that a bunch of dirt miraculously became a human. it seems more likely to me that we were created, but by evolution which was designed by god. if god caused life to be, then i think it also caused that life to grow and evolve into the world we see today. i think this is sufficient elaborating of my theory. this is why i thank evolution and creationism can be compatible. i do not belong to a specific religion, so i do not pretend to know or understand the mysteries of life. this is just my interpretation. i am sort of a wierd christian-agnostic mix.
