I don't necessarily disagree. Evolution happens, gene frequencies changes, and animals adapt to selection pressures. I'm not the kind of creationist who thinks evolution doesn't happen, but I also do not believe evolution is the correct explanation to the origin of life on this planet. The biochemistry and molecular biology of life is too complex for any of it to have heppened by chance. All of the molecular reactions of life exist in an interlinked chemical equilibrium. You can't get any of this to start "first" because it all has to exist or none of it will. If you can deal with that, fine. Until "how life appears from chemicals only" gets explaiend to me at the molecular level, I will be forever a believer in creation.

I as a scientist can't answer that question without speculation.
You have a right to your belief in God and creation. I don't happen to subscribe to your belief but it doesn't mean I wouldn't change my mind if confronted by physical evidence that some outside force (God, Aliens, Spirits what have you ) created that first life form. However the jury is still out and there isn't evidence for what outside force if any is involved.

There are two sorts of creationists rational and irrational. You seem to be the rational sort which accepts facts when they are presented. My comments and posts are almost exclusively aimed at the irrational sort.
