Which do you side with? Why? How do you explain the origin of humanity?

True. But if you're ONLY using the Bible and forgetting other other religious texts, that it would seem like it's more accountable. Most scientists keep using the Bible as some kind of dartboard, as if Christianity is the only religion that exists in the West, which is totally unfair. Evolutionary theory in my opinion, by itself, seems rather pessimistic and downright extremist. To expect people to actually believe that we are all created by random particle collision (which is what Darwinian theory supports) is just as ludicrous as expecting them to believe that man was created first (ha!) and woman created from a rib of man (*laughs derisively*). DNA evidence also shows that the digital composition of the double helix is far too complex for it to be a product of random particle collision. Unfortunately, to speak of this and to be a part of the scientific community is, well, blasphemy. To tell the truth, to believe in science and man's work alone will make you just as blind as those who believe in the Divine exclusively. Before I forget, this is the full title of the Origin of Species...which most scientists neglect to mention...and with good reason. On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life by Charles Darwin...that last part--doesn't it sound like something out of a Ku Klux **** manual?
i agree with you

Well I found my lectures on evolution more convincing that the bible's account. We have a lot of evidence for evolution: fossil evidence, DNA evidence...evolutionary theory is pretty convincing to me.
Ok, thats ur opinion, cant knock u for that... but u honestly believe that people evolved from monkeys?

No. I don't think we evolved from monkeys, I think our lineage derives from apes instead, seen as how Modern Humans belong to the Hominoidea family, not the Cercopithecoidea or Ceboidea families. I think natural selection is a plausible mechanism for evolution.
