if evolution is true then tell me how sun made earth what made the sun. Jesus is real.

[Darth Trainman]

The sun did not make the earth. Earth did not make the sun. The sun is a giant ball of hot gas. The solar system was just a bunch of rocks and dust and gas. Rocks collided and eventually enough collided to make the earth. The sun was caused by the collapse of a giant hydrogen cloud. QED, Jesus is not proven.

[Knex_Gun_Builder]

I know this comment is over 2 years old, but I just wanted to clarify something. Evolutions biggest flaw is, without a creator nothing would be anywhere, therfore how would an explosion result, and another flaw is planets would not be spheres if evolultion was true, and by the way you were NOT on earth 65 billion years ago it has been proven that our solar system is in the neighborhood of 6,000 years old NOT 65 billion or million or whatever

[legolover5]

could u make something a bit smaller plz i dont have enough knex. its 2 cool 2 not be built so could u make like a Vortex mini or something i really want 2 build it though.

[builder968]

what os with knexers and religion?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Darth Trainman]

Most of them Are Christian and I love arguing with them

[Der Bradly]

what to argue about?

[Darth Trainman]

Um, everything. Personally, I think the Creationists' greatest flaw is the assumption that if there's any evidence against evolution, it is automatically disproved and Creationism must be the only possible truth.

[Der Bradly]

well actully that is true, but not all evidence disproves evolution, but just makes creatism seem more logical (it realy is logical)

[Darth Trainman]

God says poof and in six days everything's there. Yuh-huh, makes perfect sense.

[Der Bradly]

do you have a problem with that?

[Darth Trainman]

Yes. You're using a story to comfort people away from an actual explanation.

[DrWeird117]

Please, I REALLY don't want to start anything, but, you didn't see any little guys walking out of Hiroshima, did you?

[Darth Trainman]

No... but what does that have to do with anything?

[DrWeird117]

That's basically what evolution is; life forms stepping out of an explosion and shaking hands with the world.
