LOL. I think that my kids are the most beautiful in the world, but I don't really want to spam the thread with pictures of them. They are beautiful animals/chordates/vertebrates/synapsids/mammals/primates/apes/homsaps just like my wife and I.
The specific reason I have no faith in evolution is that evolution IMHO is still a theory and has not been proven to my satisfaction.
No scientific theory is ever proven. Merely supported by evidence, and evolution is supported by more evidence than any other scientific theory I am aware of. Nothing in science has a higher status than theory (many laymen believe that laws are more certain, which is incorrect, laws are no more certain than theories and they have no explanatory power, unlike theories which are the goal of science). For a number of explanations of what scientists mean when the use the word "theory" read the relevant links on my page, compiled by Patrick Henry.
Thank you for your politeness. I hope that I haven't been too rude.
Do you also subsribe to the "Big Bang" theory?
Carbon dating seems to be an accurate science as does DNA testing. We don't really know how old the world is.
Somthing that has always amazed me is the dinosaur fossils and now some are coming out with theories the age of the dinosaurs was ended by the earth flooding.
I believe that once we take our last breath in this existence we have yet another existence in another dimension not contained or affected by time - eternity.
You still have an open mind and that is a good thing. Your curiosity of life and the orignins have life have led you into many searches for the answers of the meanings of these things.
Man has meditated on them ever since he first up into the galaxies and asked himself "What is that?"

Believe it or not; my brother, a close friend, and myself did have an ET encounter of the first kind. That was 35 years ago (good Lord!) and I still recall it vividly as if it were last night.
That experience is one of the reasons I as a Christian never shut anybody down for their respective views on science, creation, space travel and little things like that.
Thanks for a great conversation.
