There was a nice debate on religion and the origins of mankind on the VBB so I decided to rip it off.
In the beginning there was nothing, not time not nothing. Then there was the Big Bang; the start of time and space from which formed the heavens. Billions of years go by and the universe cools and stars and planets form. On one of these worlds is a pool of amino acids, a pool like many others on this world. With time this pool form from amino acids to proteins and DNA base pairs, given more time the DNA forms into various random configuration as they do throughout this world. After millions of years of chaos a pattern is formed, one which allows itself to replicate and use and make proteins, with replication comes evolution and from there life has this world. Over time life makes itself over and over again, though it does this imperfectly such that with each generation there is change, not change in any direction but only those that are an improvement live to replicate itself again. With the many billions of years the cells perfect themselves into extreme complexity, some find new ways of using the toxic oxygen generated by the other cells of this time which use sunlight and carbon dioxide to live. Then one day a group of cells form together like they have for billions of years but on this day they do it out of genetics not chance, with time some cells become specialized due to there position in there group and so begins the formation of complex life. Then suddenly there is an explosion of new life, creatures living in a sea the first of their kind. Made of many living cells they are each more than that sum. Worms, trilobites, monsters of a world long dead, they lived and were fruitful, and each generation was different. With time they developed into fish and reptiles and mammals and after billions of years, out of a pool of unliving acid and protein has come a life, that has determined itself better than all that is and has come before, it looks to the future secure in it's belief but it will seal it's own fait in it's inability to resolve its past and it's present.
Basically this is a place for creationists and evolutionists to fight out stuff they'll never be able to convince each other of.
