First of all, just to clear things up, if I was FORCED to choose between the two, I'd choose evolutionism. I don't agree with it for the most part, but I could see people evolving and species evolving, etc. I don't believe in some omniscient, super-powerful being, so that throws a pretty big wrench into the entire "creationism" theory for me.
However, I don't believe in either one. They both have huge holes. Neither can be proved correct or incorrect, unless you want to do a 3-million year experiment for evolutionism. Evolutionism, obviously, can be shown as incorrect by so many different ideas, I can't even list them. Creationism is a faith thing, you either believe or you don't. It's not like you can prove or disprove it. How are you supposed to prove that there IS or IS NOT an almighty creator up there somewhere? You can't, unless someone dies, comes back, and tells everyone. And has pictures to show for it. Unless they can do all that, it's fairly impossible to prove creationism correct. Seeing as I'm pretty big on tangible evidence, creationism is a no-no for me.
Honestly, to me, if it hasn't happened in the last... 1500 years or so it's pretty irrelevant to my life. Yes, there are things like the Iliad that are still important today, but I don't care much for history. This and this happened, so what? Knowing this, it's fairly obvious that I haven't given this topic much thought. After thinking about it for a while, the theory I have come up with is this.
12 billion years ago, the universe came about. It wasn't created. It wasn't some cosmic accident. It just is. Like the Tao. It just is. Animals were born and made, and they just were there. No accident, no creator. They just were. Dinosaurs were killed off by gigantic meteor, some animals survived, humans came about, and we have what we have today. Who cares how it all happens? So what? Are we here today? Yes. Does what we do now affect everything around us? Yes. So why don't we focus on that instead of the unanswerable questions like this one? I think it's a waste of time and money, and it should just be thrown to the wayside.
