I'm more in favor of materialization of thought forms into denser forms as the Earth formed and hardened, myself, after looking at the massive erroneous speculation of evolution, as it is taught, and creationism, as it is taught.
Each and every physics, chemistry and biology class should have an empty glass jar sitting in a very visible place in the classroom.
If and when a new species of life suddenly appears inside of that hermetically sealed glass jar, then we will all know that we were wrong about evolution.
Until then, I will continue to follow the factual exploration of life as we know it.
