Evolution. The act of evolving. Something that everything in life does. It has no choice. Life evovles or it stops. Who is to say god dosnt direct evolution? Perhaps god created life to understand itself in which case life is god and god is evolving as well! Who knows and really why does it matter? All that really matters is who are you? Are you happy with your life and what can you do to be better at it.
But then that's just a part of my take on it
Vedatruth: Been down this path before. If you can give me a definitive description of what a soul is then I will tell you if I believe I have one.
Someone accused evolution of being immoral as it promotes 'superiority.' I totally dispute that. Evolution describes how an organism survives long enough to breed and pass on its genes.
I would also like to point out that many if not all religions promote elitism. So the implementation of how evolution or religion is misused is down to individuals using these to promote their own agendas.
A creative force is undeniable whether that force is chemistry/god/aliens is not for me to say as I have no idea what it is just know that it is. Of course it is not Evolutions place to explain this either as it cannot.
That's half the problem, they've spent the last 2000 odd years trying to convince us they are right and some omnipotent being created us and only us on this plane, I think they've had enough airtime thanks

Actually this is a misquote as well. Darwin never proposed this. His Theory of evolution is only that a species does not “change” into a new one, but that it splits and both may coexist. So they have common ancestors, but are not mutually exclusive. He never looked as far back as the origins of man, and certainly not as far back as chemicals. This is all extrapolated works by people later extending his works to further and further reaches of the past. In fact he specifically stated that due to the controversy of the topic he would not do any research in the field of the origins of man.
Obviously, there is natural selection but that doesn't really explain everything. If you look at how evolution is justified, it relies on incredible odds and bend over backwards to fill in gaps in the logic.

1. A human body as well as an animal body is capable of adjusting to the environment.
2. I meant 'Darwin's theory of evolution' that living people and animals evolved from chemicals, and that is against living having a soul.
3. I think you mean 'progress' in the context of 'evolution' That was not what I was talking about. I was talking about Darwin's theory of evolution.
The God, soul, and why God created life is a separate and vast subject. We can talk about it but preferably in a separate thread.

I have a question for the pro evolutionist. I think that mathematically speaking, the population of the earth would be far greater than 7 billion if man has been here reproducing as long as the theory of evolution claims we have. Can someone validate/refute this mathematically?
just like i posted below. where are the billions of "man" bones that should litter the planet with each step of evolution?
