      I do believe in evolution, but I also believe in God. I think that if animals or plants are in difficult situations then the fittest survive and that population changes to adapt. There is evidence over time that lots of animals and plants have changed and sometimes it can be shown to make sense because of local changes in what food was available or changes in temperature.

      I do believe in evolution – for lots of reasons.

      Humans have developed over millions of years, so many that it’s just hard to get your head around, but as conditions change, some organisms have adapted to better suit those conditions and so those changes are the ones that survive. There are still lots of questions about evolution that I don’t think have been fully answered yet – and those are things that scientists are still working on findings answers for.

      I like the idea that humans developed from the same chemical goop that everything around us also developed from – it really ties us to the things around us.

      I believe in evolution because it explains everything in biology and has been proven over and over

      I do believe in evolution, and its not meant to a theory that disproves a God. The main scientist involved in the early studies, Charles Darwin, believed in God. Some of the more modern theories of creationism have been less well studied. So based on the amount of evidence for evolution, I’d say its a pretty strong theory!
