Wow. A thread about the origin of the human race and science v the divine. Deep. I suspect no-one is getting into this because Christmas is only 10 days away. For the record, why not both? If we evolved from a single time-space explosion that had to be created .
also ..... (soz to double post but forums wont let me edit)

science v the divine
unless evolution can be 100% proven it is not science, nor is creation. both can be correctly known as science or both as a relgion, what ever 'floats ur boat'.
Before i broke up for xmas holis, i questioned my science teacher about this and he didnt reject my ideas which suprised me, he said the the national curriculm doesnt give any breathing space for debating; Creation/Evolution, so basically he and all the other teachers have to go along with it and do what there told otherwise their out.
School system is a bit of a dictatorship from my view.

they teach evolution in RE/RS at my school, they very briefly cover the topic just like in science, basically cas they have no proof of it so dont wanna get stuck in the mudd.
I feel so sorry for people who actually are dumb enough to not look at both sides of the arguement. If you actually took the time to then you would realize that a whole load of your conceptions of the world would be challanged.
Then again... saying that most people couldn't care less if they are completely wrong or just don't want to have their idea's smashed. if they did actually believe firmly in their beliefs they wouldn't have any problem with looking at both sides! People probably cant be bothered anyway...
Most science teachers wont tell you different cas they will get in trouble (maybe even the boot for it) and the national curriculm doesnt allow any space for debating.
Evolution has no real proof behind it, Communism & Facism back the evolution theory 'cas creation shows there is something better than the dictator (ie: God). Hitler was pro-evolution, same for others such as Stalin, Lenin to.
