Evolution vs Creationism

I also vote a new topic because this one is essentially going in circles and has been boiled down to its roots: does or does not God exist? The question is unanswerable except by the individual.

There is scientific evidence for evolution, but the process is not fully outlined and, thus, is still prone to skeptical attacks. There are other problems as well: how did life start? Why do some species die while others flourish? How does something get from a single celled organism to a walking, talking, two-legged creature that builds societies? I've tried to wrap my mind around the concept of chance creating all that is alive today, but that concept is a difficult one to acknowledge and accept because, in a sense, it denies meaning and leaves people... alone. It is far easier to imagine a benevolent being has taken control of our fortunes than it is to imagine a world without purpose.

The problem with Creationism is based in faith: if there is no God, there is no creation. However, the other problem is the idea of which story does one believe? There are several different religions with several different ideas of how the world was created.

Without belief, there is no theory for the beginning of life, but this is unsatisfactory.

Anything to say about these thoughts?

Why is this unsatisfactory? Can you not just admit that you are just a small spec in a vast universe. To think that such a small creature could contemplate and fully understand something beyond it is somewhat laughable I think.
Here's the problem with science (Though I fully believe in it). It is limited. It is limited to what we can observe. What we see, taste, smell, feel and hear. These can all be enhanced with invention and technology such as microscopes etc.
However, we are and almost always will be, limited to these senses. To think that there is nothing outside these senses...why would one do so? Why should there NOT be something out there that we can't see?
If you believe in Evolution...then how is it that something that came from a single cell, that just happened to become a creature with "Intelligence" is the best that it can be? That it can sense everything there is to sense.

Science admits and is restricted to what we can observe, and to think you can observe everything is ...arrogant for an advanced monkey. It's also limited in that you believe in what you observe. Even one thing that goes against a universal law - and you have to change everything.

Everything is open to skeptical attacks. We don't know why there is gravity, or what causes it. However it's not very attacked - the reason is because Evolution pretty much dictates no purpose besides reproducing. However,

If there is no real reason to live, then it's not worth even examining, which is what I think makes Humans distinct from other creatures.

Play Spore, Its all about how well you build, how much DNA you have, and how well you control a creature. and it not always 2-legged, 4 and 3 work better somtimes, more options of feet/hands.
