But we need to be cautious in our understanding of God, he is far beyond all we can know or think. The bible does not say how God came to exist so we are free to assume anything and not be at fault. I don't believe that WE EVOLVED as there is no fossil evidence to support animal or human evolution, especially none for animals. If you don't believe me name all the transitional forms you know for animals. I believe God made us and animals, plants etc. I don't care if God evolved or has always existed. I do know God exists due to personal experiences with Him.
There is no fossil evidence TO YOU because you HAVEN'T LOOKED. You instead have simply surfed the creationist websites and found some things that agree with what you believe, so you feel qualified for some reason to refute all the substantial fossil evidence which in fact has been found for biological evolution. A simple google search shows even Wikipedia has a tentative list. But you need only to open your eyes- much of the fossil evidence for evolution was found before Darwin was even known, and at that it was documented by religious scientists. Evolution is not a debatable issue- it clearly happened, or we wouldn't have fossils of animals which no longer exist. If you refuse to accept this point, in the face of overwhelming evidence, then what is the point of even debating? Here are some lists of transitional fossils, although perhaps you'd like to think they were all occupying the earth at the same time, until the Flood killed everything but what we see now.

I'm so tired of people who haven't taken the briefest time to look into evolution trying to tell me all about it.
