Your "Master Craftsman", is he/she/it a supernatural being? If so, why would he/she/it let cyanobacteria be the dominant lifeform on this planet for most of its history? And why would humans only appear at one second to midnight on a 24-hour clock of the planet's life?

Algae may be the most enduringly prolific life form on the planet, but hardly the most dominant!
From photosynthesis to rational beings, only 23hrs 59secs in the making! Far beyond the scope of my natural ability. Seems pretty super to me.

all i gotta say is thank you for finally explaining that to the people that it is a THEORY. No matter what side you take, its a theory and thats it. BAC, i applaud you.

If you say so.
Is it beyond possibility that evolution and creation co-exist or are the same?
'Creationists' and 'Evolutionists' are equally intransigent in their dogma. Yet life is just not quite so rigid, is it?

i must chime in and be simple
Evolution is the current best theory.
as a theory it will stand as long as it is failed to be dis proven, which it has, so this is the best answer so far.
but creationism in the traditional sense (6 days with a being in the sky) is not argued in a logical philosophical manner- rarely is.
Fact is irrefutable but any good scientist will say that we must be ever vigilant and attempt to disprove ourselves so we can learn more.
and so far not happening....great

You begged the second question, why wait so long to get humans on the scene if we're the crown of creation?

A theory based on hard evidence.

And also an observed phenomenon.

Evolution is a fact.

How evolution works is still a theory.

They worked out the difference between theory and fact somewhere around the Dark Ages.

The problem creationists have with evolution is that it takes time.
Originally posted by Gawdzilla
They don't have time

We wouldn't be special if it was that old.

This leads me to think that they just wont, or maybe even CANT believe all the evidence we show them.

It's purely speculative

And before somebody pops out "nothing comes from nothing", may I ask "who created the creator" in that case? He/She/It didn't come from nothing, did they? Nothing comes from nothing, right?

As long as people put their opinions above actual fact we'll have problems like this.

evolution has been tested and observed.
Originally posted by hulkbacker
the idea that a purley evolutionary process is responsible for the diversity of life we see on this planet is only a theory.

Evolution is not a theory. It is a scientifically proven fact.
Originally posted by PieKeeper
By definition, a Scientific Theory is constructed to provide an explanation for an observable phenomenon, and to predict when and how the phenomenon will occur again.
So the Theory of Evolution is a working explanation for the phenomenon of Evolution.
