but it is still a theory non the less


Anyways, evolution is both a theory and a fact, so there's no argument.

Just so. There are the facts of evolution - living things change over time - and the theory of evolution that seeks to explain the facts.

It doesn't have to be proven by science to be a fact. All you have to do is look at religions old and new and u see that how ever many goods they have there is always a God of Gods that was the creator of Humans in every Religion and is always like the GOD of Three of the major religions today and was war proven by science to be bloody and horrible no.

See my edit. I realised that thinking about my nipples was not enough for everyone else to realise what I meant

Facts are "proven" they simply are. It still stands that "God" is not a scientific fact.

You're also making a horrid assumption that you're providing people here with new information. We know what you're saying, but it's meaningless in the context of science. You're also falsely assuming that merely because someone is an evolutionist of some sort that they do not believe (religiously) in a creator/God, or that being religious precludes holding to the scientific theory evolution... Both of those are false assumptions on your part.
Such heroic nonsense!

^This. In fact, humans were created by a very lesser god who was promptly forgotten about afterwards.

Ra didn't create humans and he wasn't the head god. Amun was.
The titans did not create humans. They were actually the predecessors to the greek gods.
Jehovah, Allah, and God are the same person.

I'm assuming that as my Creation Theology is Evolutionary Creationism, that my viewpoint as to the reason would not count (as it would likely be the same as yours anyway).

So you're saying that we should believe every word of the bible. Just because it's there.

Which has to do with what in this context? It says nothing about the specific mechanisms by which said creation took place. Me thinks you merely insert your own opinions into the text.

[sidetrack]I'm not sure you comprehend what is meant by "image" in the context as used in Genesis within most Christian views relating to Theology Proper... "Image" is not meant as a physical image, but rather a spiritual image of the creator...[/sidetrack]
