Yay thanks everyone your all being very helpful! I have another question although it doesn't really have to do with evolution: One of the arguments from creationists, ( well it's a question really) is how can all the other elements from the periodic table of elements form if it all started with hydrogen? i can't think of an answer but I'm sure there is one out there so does anyone have it? Thanks again guys! Oh and if i got anything wrong from my description please correct me

Yes i couldn't agree more and i understand what you mean. I've found when talking to a creationist christian that your discussion will go around in circles because they have only to go back on "god did it" and that is it. there isn't any evidence to support it but thats another topic. I guess without ""god did it" they would realize that their beliefs are flawed, thats my opinion anyway. I know that from experience, thanks for your imput

Thanks those links you gave really help now i can counter the questions that my christian friends might ask and find more meaning to things.

cool thanks, yeah it helped and i see what u mean anyone else have any insight?

hey everyone, My first post hurrah! Ok well lately i've been really becoming quite an atheist and have truly started to get into evolution and all that has to do with it even though i know that to truly get know everything would be quite impossible. Now i am quite young so i'm not at the school level to be able to truly delve into a specific scientific area as you can in later years so you guys/girls are one of my main sources of information! lucky you so now for my stupid questions of which i'm sure you have all heard before but if you would care to answer at least once more then that would be great I''d just like o have a couple of things cleared up 1. My first question is, is that after the sort of split from a common ancestor between up and the common day apes (please correct me if i got any of that wrong as a summary) then where are the almost human looking ancestors that are supposed to be along our line of evolution in the i think its thirteen million years between our split? 2. This might seem hard (i'm not sure ) but if someone could explain to me the concept of a genetic mutation and an example of one because that seems to be an argument by the as far as i can see uneducated creationist majority and if there isnt an example then why is that? 3. What are your scientific areas of interest? I know my questions probably seem quite silly but hey you've got to start somewhere right? Also an you recommend any good books on evolution? or science? i was going to get the origin of species of course yesterday as it was quite cheap and i consider it to be fundamental reading to truly grasp the concept of evolution but in the end i god Richard Dawkins' A devils chaplain, even though that doesn't necessarily have to do directly with evolution Thanks for replying! I appreciate it immensely
