Did We Evolve

Darwin stated that complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time. While Darwin's Theory of Evolution is relatively young, the evolutionary worldview itself is as old as antiquity. Ancient Greek philosophers such as Anaximander postulated the development of life from non-life and the evolutionary descent of man from animal. Charles Darwin simply brought something new to the old philosophy called natural selection. Yet in the last 50 or so years we now know that there are in fact tens of thousands of irreducibly complex systems on the cellular level. Specified complexity pervades the microscopic biological world.Molecular biologist Michael Denton wrote, "Although the tiniest bacterial cells are incredibly small, weighing less than 10-12 grams, each is in effect a veritable micro-miniaturized factory containing thousands of exquisitely designed pieces of intricate molecular machinery, made up altogether of one hundred thousand million atoms, far more complicated than any machinery built by man and absolutely without parallel in the non-living world." This is the problem I have with evolution and maybe you can help me with this question. We're dealing with more than biology and the decent of man. We have the appearance of the cosmos with the "Big Bang" Something from nothing came into existance. From that big bang came life and it supposedly over time became nore complex, yet when we explore the miniture we find the smaller we go the more complex it becomes. I could believe in evolution if man or animal were self procreating. But just the fact that male and female were created to bring forth life. What are the odds that everything came into existance through chance and fit so perfectly. Perhaps those of you in the scientific community can help with with this, I don't believe that you or any from the scientific community are stupid, I believe that the premise in which you base your beliefs are flawed, and here is why I say that H.S. Lipson, a Professor of Physics at the University of Manchester wrote, "evolution became in a sense a scientific religion; almost all scientists have accepted it, and many are prepared to 'bend' their observations to fit with it" If, and I say if that is the case doesn't that put those that believe in evolution on the same plane as those that believe in a divine creation? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this

we agree that evolution is not possible. thank you for showing us more information on this subject.
