An explanation can become fact (or law) if it is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to be true. Theories are unproven, and that includes evolution. Therefore, intelligent design as well should not be discounted and should be accepted as an alternate theory for the beginning of all life forms. Simply, I do believe in evolution, but not that we came from pond scum, there was an intelligent designer in the beginning. That's my theory and I'm stickin' to it!

Here's a question to ponder...

Our DNA is 98% the same as monkeys thus supposedly proving we evolved from apes. But consider our DNA is also exactly 50% the same as a banana. Going by the logic, is that why some of us have dry skin that peels? ; )

But consider our DNA is also exactly 50% the same as a banana.

Last I read, only ten percent of the banana genome had been mapped. Do you have a reference to your claim?

well we are somewhat related to bananas as are all living things on earth. Just depends how far back you want to trace.
