I'm selfish and like to believe both are possible.
One can't deny that the scientific community has made great strides in showing us how evolution is indeed possible! I think it's brilliant how life can always find a way to adapt to adversity.
On the other hand, I can't help but believe life is a gift from a higher source for the fact that we have a soul. Maybe it's because I have this weird psychic stuff that happens to me, but I know there is existance beyond our physical form...that even when we die, we still ARE. It's not something I can prove nor would I want to force my opinions on others, but it's a belief that I cherish and one that brings me comfort.
I remember one pastor asking us, "If you were walking along the beach, and discovered a pocket watch keeping perfect time, would you believe that through erosion and time the ocean had created that watch or would you feel it had been 'made'?"
I always thought that was an interesting analogy.
