Which is most likely: creationism, evolution, alien intervention?

Evolution is the only one we have credible evidence for; and the other two just add the problem of infinite regression ("If we needed divine/alien intervention to create US, who created THEM?")

A lot of people may differ in opinion when it comes to the Q of how we got here. Creationism is a simple answer, it is an excusable response to hide the logical truth. Alien intervention is a theory of sheer fantasy, as it is already proven that life permeates the universe in a variety of extreme enviroments. Evolution is the most probable scenario, though it comes under intense scrutiny just as everything else does, but that's the philosophy of the science, to scrutinize itself as well. Evolutinists and other related sciences are constantly piecing the puzzle together from the fossil records, thus far, from the picture they have put together, very much supports the claim pointed out by Charles Darwin.

In my opinion, evolution *will* happen, given enough time. We see evidence of evolution happening right now. It simply falls out from the way genes work. There is lots of evidence for evolution having happened continuously for a long time. So if it was aliens, they were a very long tine ago. If it was creation, either that was a very long time ago or the Creator has created fossils to make it look as if it was a very long time ago i.e. the Creator is a liar,

Evolution is the most likely because it has the most (and only) supporting evidence. Alien intervention is very unlikely, but more likely than creationism, because it also involves evolution (just the evolution of a different species, on a different planet). All this talk about "the beauty of nature is proof of God's creation" - hogwash.

Evolution is already a proven fact. There is no debate among scientists. That some still debate it is religious motivated resistance or willful ignorance.

evolution

Evolution is shown to have happened. In fact, it is still happening. Therefore, it is the most likely of the three. Creationism and alien intervention are both interesting stories, but I can't rule on which of those is more likely until I see some evidence for one or the other.

It's evolution for me. Creationism is myth; alien intervention is probable but is not scientifically proven.

I'm for evolution , but its all subjective.

An easy question to answer, but all of the answers are based on the answerers personal assumptions. Here's my asumption.

There is a great force that created the universe in an explosion of light, matter and energy. Let's call this force God, for right now (Because we call this force many things). The manner in which life developed, up to and including the intermediate step of the human species, is evolution. And God, being the non-human force that created the universe, would be considered Alien to us. Because everyone will agree (And there is scriptual evedence) no man can know God, making God Alien to us. Making God's force alien intervention.

So not only are all 3 likely, but a necessity.

Evolution, considering it's the only one of these theories which most scientists agree on, and which has the most concrete scientific evidence. Much more believable than 'OH, A MAN IN THE SKY MADE A MAN OUT OF DIRT AND TOLD HIM TO HAVE SEX WITH ONE OF HIS RIBS!!'

While I personally believe in abiogenesis followed by evolution via natural selection, your three choices are not mutually exclusive.

No disrespect or offense intended to you, but who gives a sweet rat's ass?! ;-)

Creation and Evolution. A supreme intelligency--or God
if you will--set everything in motion then evolution took from there. Or ask yourself where your spirit
(soul) comes from. I don't have anything against evolutionary [theory] except that it surmises that this apparent reality we call "UNIVERSE" was the result
of a big explosion. They contend that life originated
from a big explosion; then evolutionary [theorists],
such as Charles Darwin, Theodosius Dobzhansky and others, advocated that the design in living organism,
for example is the reult of (mindless) accumulation of random so-called "accidents". Now ask yourself: Where
all the elements--or energy--for an explosion of such
magnitude came from? Everything which came into existance cannot possibly be the effect of unrelated
cause. There's nothing coming from nothingness! The
theory of "EVOLUTION" developped by Mr Darwin, no doubt, had challenged the concept of "CREATION"-at least its literal interpretation as it is presented in
GENESIS--the first book of the Bible. But you must keep
in mind that a "THEORY" is a conjecture, an assumption made--a hypothesis attempting to explain the logic of
something. So yes, the evolutionary (concoction) of Mr
Darwin is an interesting one which deserves merit and
serious consideration but is in no better predicament
than the theologian concept of creation. The evolutionary theory is seemingly diametrically opposed
to the theological concoction but no less bizarre. Particularly, when Mr Darwin didn't offer as much as a
clue about how, why, and when life began. He, Mr Darwing, attempted to explain the origin of things which are apparent in the universe but bypassing perhaps the most critical subject which is the existence of the universe itself. Peace!

possibly incidental alien migration by way of meteorite, which could postulate evolution

The Biblical story of creation in 6 days can be shown to be false. But if by creationism you mean God interfering in subtle ways to bring about humans, it's impossible to judge that likelihood, except perhaps as the inverse of as the likelihood of evolution. Evolution from single-cell organisms to complex life would seem to be amazingly unlikely, but then it's a mongo universe out there.
.
By alien intervention, do you mean aliens guiding the development of life on Earth? It seems amazingly hard to believe that any technological civilization could master interstellar flight, or would be able to or want to stick around a planet for billions (that's THOUSANDS of millions) of years to give rise to smelly ignorant destructive ape-lings such as ourselves. Besides, aliens would have to come from somewhere themselves.

I have high hopes that some day the hoi-polloi will stop thinking of creation and evolution as mutually-exclusive. That said, alien-intervention is a definite possibility in the creation-evolution of the human race.

Creationism and alien intervention are the same thing. Evolution is proven fact. +5

Hmmmm....there is no such thing as Aliens so that is out. Thee is no proof of Evolution so that is out. So that leaves Creationism.

all three.
humans are the result of alien manipulation,
more precisely, the human DNA is the result of alien mixtures with primates, and this has been directly communicated to abductees (like Jim Sparks).

obviously if you're trying to create an ecosystem you need the fundamental constituents to be able to continue independently where you left off. Evolutionists say that all evolution is the result of this struggle for life, but the problem is that the modifications are largely arbitrary (such as an asteroid strike or an ice age), and not continuous, varying in degree and locality, e.g., an asteroid strike is followed by 10000 new species -- this is the current theory!.

In computer generations, the programmer must take continuous measures to keep the population from degenerating via artificial niching techniques. Almost any random influence destroys the population, and does not improve it.

Many alien abductees have reported that aliens are deeply involved in the creation of human-alien hybrids, however even their results are hard to acheive (most of their attempts fail). Recent information from the UFO communities indicate that humans tend to mix better than many other organisms do.

In the future, the combination of greater awareness of the alien presence, in conjunction with better computer models, and a deeper awareness of the funny information in human DNA will lead us to this understanding.

None are most likely. One is the truth. Creationism dovetails with science because true creationism is truly objective, as are the true Creationists. Evolution is assumed, as are evolutionists assuming, and it is their presumptuous stance that makes them think that creationists are just as presumptuous. For they assume all are as they are.

Alien intervention is a theory that stems from humanism, for it assumes that modern man, with modern technology, is the creme de la creme of humanity. Man naturally changes, not evolves. We adapt to technology, and our corruption limits our fullest potential, especially our vanity. Objectivity is key.

Evolution. A real God would not fool around doing magic.

From most likely, to least likely:

1. Evolution.
2. Creationism.
3. Alien Intervention.

Depends on whether you're (in order of the question) an afficionado of ideas religious, a scientist (or rational humanist, et al), or a nut-job, no?
;-)

well in my opinion they are all likely depending on how you look at it...If you consider some alien being (greys, gods, annunaki etc.)somehow manufactured us through, supernatural or scientific means and then those beings were on this planet they were seeded on for some uknown reason for many millions of years, they evolved to adapt their world over many years..It's plausible I guess as much as anything else.

How about a combination of alien intervention and *de*volution.....Read Nigel Kerner(Song of the Greys) and Michael Cremo's books as well. They're disturbing eyeopeners.

All 3 combined, I think God came down to earth and was like POW! monkeys. Created monkeys. and then these human looking aliens came down from Mars, and banged a bunch of gorillas and chimps which gave them the human gene so they EVOLVED into humans, but tragically all the aliens caught AIDS a few months later and died and thats why there are no aliens on Mars anymore.

Creation, not creationism, with it's unrealistic, inaccurate 6-7 day schedule.

To me, Creationism...

Alien intervention.
And creationism, of course.

Creationism is stupid because it doesnt explain who created the creator

Evolution is the best as its explain more deeply about why animals are diffrent, and makes more sense

Alien Intervention could be a small possibiliy like an meteor with micro organism hitting earth in its early days could of spring life

So Evolution is more likely

Hmmm,
1)Well in my opinion the most unlikely is Creationism
2)Alien Intervention seems unlikely, and there is no evidence to support it.
3) Evolution appears likely, because there is lots of evidence to support this, but we have not been able to ascertain the actual origin of the first life on earth.

EvolutionISM.

Seriously, mutations make adjustments and adaptations, but don't make big changes, certainly nothing on the order required to go from nothing to the zillions of forms of life and the zillions of working systems, not to mention DNA. All this stuff is far too complex and precise for an unguided natural selection process to have achieved.

Life is nothing but a complex chemical equation.
It's like a lottery, of all the planets capable of sustaining life it was going to happen sooner or later.
We evolved to a certain point when extraterrestrials screwed with our evolution, maybe our genes but I think definitely our cultural evolution. This is where the creation stories came from, primitive humans explaining something they couldn't comprehend; cargo cults are a good example of this. (The stories came from somewhere, people who say it's just imagination are as ignorant as creationists)
In my opinion this is very logical. Evolution is true, but we had a little push to get as further along.
It's funny how whenever this belief is bought up it is slammed as illogical, imaginary or idiotic.
Imagine how much it would discredit both Darwinism and creationism, maybe that's why everything is not what it seems.
"Strange times are these when old and young are taught in falsehoods school and the person who tells the truth is called at once a lunatic and fool"- Plato

Evolution on it own is FACT and maybe even IF initiated by alien intervention has a higher probability of ending up being a FACT than creationism ever will hands down...

Evolution is the only one that makes any sense. Evolution is logical and I would like to think that most humans think logically and don't believe in magic or spirits with special abilities that once showed themselves all of the time over 2000 years ago but no one has seen or heard from them since that time.

Creation: Sounds absurd to people (HOW?)
Evolution: Sounds absurd to me, show me the REAL proof!
Aliens: Sounds like fantasy (AMUSING)

the mayans built prymid structures that are a wonder of the world. have they built more in the last few thousands of years?...no...they abandoned them for some unknown reason....they live a few miles down the road in not much better then mud huts and shacks.

Evolution cant be completely indorsed for humans as fact..there is a very sudden jump in the evolutionary chain from ape to man. the missing link. evolution is real, there is proof in fossil evidence, hard facts do support it...but not for ...humans. Look at other hard facts..humans went from hunter/gather, living in trees and caves to enginering monolithic complex mathamatical structures (pyrmids...which startlingly all are located on the 72 degree latitude throughtout the world...(it takes 72 years to move 1 degree throught the constaslations = 2200 years to move through 1 constalation) (there are 12 known pyrimds and 12 constalations) the prymids are built with the same enginering skill yet the primitive people of the area and time of their building had no means of contact with each other. humans cant with all our advanced knowlegde and tecnoligy recreate the building of any of the pyrimids in this day and age. the evolutionary jump from hunter/gather to building the pyrmids happened all most "over night" (if your thinking in an evolution time line) evolution just doesnt completly add up for the human history. that is just one tangible, easy to understand, hard fact why evolution is still just theory. and should be taught as such. if teachers are teaching religion or evolution as fact as the only reason for human exisitance, they should be fired... its quite obvious that there is a gene relation between ape and man but evolution doesnt completly explaine it and creation as explained by religion is a corrupt work of fiction for control of the mass's(.I apoligize spelling and grammer mistakes. I think its subconsishes thing...I really did skip from grade 7 to grade 9 without ever studing or doing home work... that doesnt make me a genius, I didnt finish the second year of univeristy by age 12...it just means Im smarter then the average bear)
As far as science evidence goes... we are getting farther from the evolutionary connection from ape to human...at first it was deemed 99% gene match with chimps...then as study progressed it went to 97.5%...in this day and age it is belived to be 95% match...daffadils (the flower) = 25% match...obviously humans do have a genic connection with all other life on the planet. videos of ape showing affection and accepting humans into the group(if the humans act like apes) is not evidence of unaided evolution from ape to man...that ape is exibiting a learned responce from repeated exposer...my cat is capible of a large amount of affection as well and I dont have to act like a cat...if I lock my dog and my girl friend in the trunk of my car and go to the bar for 6 hours...when I return...which one is going to still be happy to see me and love me? lol

The most important thing I’ve learned is not to trust learned people at face value, but seek a second, third or fourth perspective,(this include me and this...what ever it is) Humans possess a predictable tendency to lie, cheat and steal, or otherwise hoodwink lesser educated or more gullible creatures...not only is it most prevelent in human nature, its prevelent in all of nature to more or lesser degrees
“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) Even to this day Evolution is "not" "self-evident" a gaint lea...p in the evolutionary chain from ape to man is "self-evident"...yet it is still ridiculed and violently opposed by those who refuse to acknowledge hard facts due to a blind faith in religions fabricted version of creationism for ultmite control of the mass's. creationism in the form of religion has tried for thousands of years to delete hard facts and evidence in history and the study of these hard facts and rewrite history by mass book burning for hundreds of years(they missed a few) and (fear mongering both before and after death) murdering those who opposed thier rendition of the true history of creation in some of the most horrible ways possible (witch hunts) and after death by threats of burning alive for eturnity. it time for people to take thier head out of the sand (or thier ass...which ever metifore your prefer).

evolution states that animals evolve becouse they lack a physical characteristic vital to survival and must evolve to ensure survival. the older version die off becouse of this lack of a physical charteristic. they newer version survive becouse they have evolved...tell me...how does having very little hair compared to apes and 15 times less physical strenth compared to our apes ensure survival in a cold cruel dangerous world. aparently survival of the spieces was not an issue becouse apes and monkeys are still here...they have evolved very little in thousands of years and thier only threat for spieces survival is...you guessed it...HUMANS!
The mayans built huge prymids this is fact... have the Mayans built any new ones in the last few thousands of years. NO!. they abandoned thier pryimd, one of the greatest wonders of the world, to live just down the road in not much better then mud huts and shacks and have since abandoning thier wonder of the world...this is fact also.

the list goes on and on...why is it such a far fetch idea that evolution and inteligent design are both human history. the inteligent design did not come from a jewish, ararb or christian almighty, all knowing god who listens to our prayers...look to the heavens and ask him...be sure to tell me if anyone speaks back..he has been in verbal contact in thousands of years.he is an almighty, all knowing god who listens to our prayers...do you think he speaks english? The gods did come from the sky just like all primitive verbal storys tell. a being simular to our image with advance knowledge and tecnology...tell me why is slavery so prolific in human culture. yet no other animal social structure on the planet. why did we evolve to have such a large brain yet only use 1/3 of it and ..we dont evolve to lose what we dont use. why is gold...which is the greatest non-toxic gamma radiation shielding substance on the plant (which has only become known to modern science in recent years since ...Area 51) why is gold so valuble in acient times when it is useless for tools or weapons....oh right its plyible and easy to melt into heavy, uncomfortible jewelary and paper weights(gold is also used in computer circuits revalation did occure until shortly after...Area 51) gold is stored in mass piles around the world collecting dust. the gold in our jewelary today is mixed with lighter eliments due to the fact that it heavy, uncomfortible and breaks extreamly easily. other spieces like ants and worker bees are not slaves...they are programed to do a spicific job...collect pollen or food to ensure the survival of the nest or hive. humans instint has a simular need to collect gold but gold is not essential to our survival. its acually quite useless to our acual survival...unless you need non-toxic protection from the gamme radiation in space...or you want a superior non-toxic electrical conductor in areospace tecnology and computers.
I could go on and on...try and poke inteligent holes in what Im saying

http://www.newgeology.us/presentation32.html

I, mys...elf, dont neccarily agree with everything in that paper. I believe it was conducted by a religious creation believer but science appears to be there.the truth of the evidence can only be known be varified a learned bioligy professional. ..but it does raise some very valid points in my mind in "completly" debunking the "tree of life" and Darwins theory of evolution. it is study papers like this one (and there are many) that have a number of tangible, easy to understand evidence and facts that suport why evolution is not fact and and should not be taught in schools as "fact"

in this day and age we humans are capable of space travel and experimention with genes... we cloan sheep, we make human ears grow on the backs of lab rats...why is gene experimentation so contraversal...becouse its playing god!...its not so far fetched that in there trillons and trillions of star systems that there is life...inteligent life...and that beings from another planet with advanced knowledge and tecnology visited this planet (evident in the construction of pyrmids and that they traveled here) and that they genicly interfered with the evolution of apes to create by inteligent design the human race. and not an all knowing and powerful god who only wants submission by threat of unending torture...becouse he loves us.
is it so unthinkible consittering why is gold so valuable that the purpose of humans is to mine the planet for a rare non-toxic and necessary eliment for space tecnology and space travel. that through genedic munipulation ape genes... the human race skipped steps in the evolunary chain by inteligent design for a reasonible "purpose" and that the creation theory and the evolution theory are both correct...the facts of history suport that extreamly wealthy religon systems of modern today are human corruption at its finest.

I invite you to comment on this try and poke inteligent holes in this theory

you cant...the smartest most educated being on the planet cant. they can cloud the issue but they cant poke inteligent holes in it with easy to understand "hard facts" that are tangible as in... you can see or touch the facts and evidence... a layman can poke inteligent holes with hard facts in both" evolution" and" creation in the form of religion" very very easily.

so anyway thats why I belive the theory of evolution should not be taught in schools as fact.
correct me if I wrong my friend (I whole heartedly feel wicca and shamanism are valid forms of spirtualism which differs greatly from religon.

Evolution, with life arriving on a comet impact.

Creationism, no evidence, alien intervention, no evidence, evolution, shit loads of evidence you can actually observe, pick up and throw at idiots who regard the other two possibilities as credible.
I'm going with evolution.

Alien intervention. Yeah, that's the one. The Mexicans did it.

Evolution vs Creation......vs......Evoluntion and Creation

Evolution is real and obvious...its all around us...it happens every day...every minute...every second.
The Evolution of Humans from Ape made a drastic leap in the Chain of Eolution in that, all most over night (if your consittering an evolutionary timeline) Man went from trees and caves to building Monolitic Mathamaticly Complex Structures of extream persion and craftmenship that we can not dublicate in this day and age.
todays science proves without a dought....we can reach space.
todays science also proves we can clone sheep and make human ears grow on the backs of lab rats. hence...genetic manipulation.
why is genetic research contraversal? becouse its playing god.
The knowlede, morals and ethics found in the bible were "hijacked" from earler works and records to aqcuire contol of the mass's after the dimise of the gods who came from the sky with advanced knowledge and tecnoligy (evolution and erosion proves...nothing lives or lasts forever). those earler works and records were collected and distroyed in mass book burnings by the curch through out the known world. Those with studyed knowledge of the distroyed earlier works were also distroyed in masive witch hunts for which the method of killing knew no limits terroric imagination. the fear mongering tactics worked to delete the rebelious and contvert to meek. to refute the curch was blasfimus and punishible by horrific death in life and taught to be punishible in a manner of being burned alive for an eterinity after death.
earths religion is corruption at its finest. an attempt to rewrite human history for contol of the masses.
evolution is true...but humans were aided in evolution by beings with advance knowledge and tecnoliogy and they left evidence that could not be distroyed and teachings which was later Hijacked by the religion.

im an alien being, a direct descendant of what you people call the Annunaki... we created you pig headed people just for fun.

The question is where did the aliens come from.

I personally think evolution is the most likely scenario. The question however is "where did life itself come from?". That's the tough question.

Romans 1:18-25

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.....They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
