Inherit the WindThere are many theories about how people came to exist, but the two main theories are called creationism and evolution.

Creationism is the theory that God created man in his own image, as is set forth in the Bible.

Evolution is the theory that man evolved over millions of years from tiny life cells to monkeys and finally to man as we are today.

Some people believe that both of these theories are possible at the same time and they believe no one knows exactly how long it took God to make man nor how he did it.

Write a response in which you state your own views on the subject. How do you think man came to exist? Do you believe in creationism, evolution, a combination of the two, or something else entirely?
