There is no competition. Evolution is the only scientific theory that explains the evidence. All the "competing" tales are religious in nature.

Either one believes in creationism (a higher being) or evolution. For me, I find it much easier to believe in the existance of a loving God, than it is to believe that trillions of "coincidences" just happened. Evolution and creation are both belief systems - neither can be proven.

So what? your ease of belief is of no interest to science. To put this in perspective, look at AfroCentrism

Evidently some people find it 'easier to believe' that oh, Socrates was Black, and stole his philosophy from the Ancient Egyptians. Should this community be allowed to teach foolishness in history class just because it makes them feel good?!

Only if apples and oranges are the same "kind".

There is no contradiction in believing that we are God's creation and observing that God's creation behaves in the way we observe it. It's a mistake to bring the Bible down to the level of just man's knowledge, because men know so little.

speaking of "coincidenses", what are the odds that out of all the billions of people on this earth, and all the the trillions of earth like planets in this universe, that it would be YOU who just happened to type this post on this thread on this forum for me to be reading RIGHT NOW.

it's much easier for me to believe a loving God wrote your post.

What you think is 'easier' to believe as opposed to a strawman of evolutionary theory has no bearing on reality.

For all you know, it was creation by a not-so-loving God.
