I don't know why so many discussions on this forum have to turn into a pissing match of who is more educated. There is nobody alive today who was around to physically witness any of this. Neither side (evolutionist/creationist) has a complete, highly detailed, word for word account of the beginning of the earth, mankind, or the flood. There will always be arguments on both sides as to why these issues are true or untrue. Personally, I honestly don't see the big deal with finding the Ark. Lets assume that Noah's Ark will be found some day in the future. If it is, will you automatically change what you believe? Will you say "here is that evidence I have been looking for, I guess I will now believe the bible". I doubt it. There will then arise arguments about who's boat it actually was and that it still doesn't prove there was a flood etc etc etc.

There is not a single person who has come into this thread unbiased. There are some issues that will probably never be resolved and questions that will never be answered. Faith is required to believe either side. I feel that a person can only prove to themselves what they believe. I personally believe creation because, to me it makes the most sense and also gives the most meaning to life. Like everyone, I too have many questions about the opposing belief.

If evolution springs forth out of necessity, why do even the most brilliant of minds only use such a small portion of our brain?

If death is a natural part of humanity, why do people get so upset and filled with grief when someone dies?

Why are humans so completely different from all other living creatures? As humans we enjoy love, comedy, art, music, we see in color, we can taste an endless variety of flavor, we have a strong sense of justice, we are always trying to learn and better ourselves, we question how and why we are alive and on this planet.

This leads me to personally believe that we were created for a purpose. That being the amazing creatures that we are is a result of intelligent design and not mere coincidence.
