You speak as though evolution and creation are necessarily exclusive to one another?
I could care less about creation. I don't care if there is a god, whether that god is a carpenter jew or viking warrior. It really doesn't matter. Those that spend their time worrying about such trivialities usually miss the important things in life. (my opinion)

As for evolution and creation being linked, I could care less about how a creationist or atheist come to understand the science. So long as you understand that we are all animals and that animals adapt to their environments and if this adaptation continues for long enough a species evolves into something different than it was before and so on and forth... I don't really care.

**Rant Warning**

What I do care about is people that argue against science simply because they believe in God. As if they don't believe in modern medicine, the car they drive, cures for cancer, rockets in space, better agriculture, better roads, and so on and so forth.

And if you're going to argue against a specific theory at least know what you're talking about and don't shoot down science because you think it's "what scientist believe" as if it's just another religion.

I didn't know that the Aves family was part of the Hominidae family, maybe I missed something?

Yes, biology teacher.
The Hominidae (pronounced /hɒˈmɪnɨdiː/; anglicized hominids, also known as great apes[notes 1]), as the term is used here, form a taxonomic family, including four extant genera: chimpanzees (Pan), gorillas (Gorilla), humans (Homo), and orangutans (Pongo).[1] In the past, the term was used in the more restricted sense of humans and relatives of humans closer than chimpanzees.

It doesn't say anything about birds.

I never said that but I didn't understand what Trequartista tried to say at first. :)

Anyways, I'm not even arguing with people that support evolution and I know they can back up what they say with evidence but I was just saying evolution is not 100% proven.
But it is proven. It's just not accepted.

I have said repeatedly that science provides benefit.

But if you read through the works of the highest authorities on different fields of science, they are continually arguing about different topics in their field. Science is concrete to some extent, subjective in many ways.

So is mathematics, the first time you try long division or illustrate a geometrical proof. Once an answer is found things change. Like Viagra.
