Re: Creationism, Evolution or Intelligent Design?

None of the above, all of the above.

G-d is all there is.

G-d is creation.

G-d is evolution.

I don't see G-d as intelligent, but intelligence.

It certainly could be a possibility...of course, it would require an open mind to be able to view things as such.

My bad...judging from some of the other comments made.

Oh yes, before I forget:

If I remember the lesson correctly, the formation of life is a study called "abiogenesis," and it is unrelated to evolution or creation in the sense suggested by the poll.

Yeah! That's pretty close to how I see it.

Likewise. And the option of "something else" does not cover "don't know" which I see as the most intelligent and realistic answer.

Something else then. Although I'm in the fine company of others here who don't know, I suspect it happened quite naturally according to the laws of physics and chemistry. I can't say I find any of the current explanations I've encountered to be compelling.
