Is it real, or is creationism magical bullshit?

Evolution is a proven fact.

Creationism fabricates facts to fit the book of genesis.

Funny. I believe the same thing about evolution, since most of its proofs are tautological in nature. Have you seen the site below?

It depends on what you mean by Evolution being real. If by evolution you mean man evolved from monkeys NO. IF you mean that over a very long time period animals physical features were altered to better adapt to it's environment YES.

There is no theory of evolution that has ever stated that anything at all evolved from monkeys, much less the human primate.

That's just something crazy church people say to try to make evolution sound dumb.

I totally agree with the fact that evolution has nothing to do with monkeys evovling into people. Whether crazy church people started it or not, I do not know, but it is a common misconception anyhow.

You're right, we didn't evolve from monkeys. However, we did evolve from an animal that is also the common ancestor to all modern-day apes. Also, evolution does not strive toward a goal of becoming better adapted to the environment. The environment puts pressures on life to stay adapted. Individuals that can survive to reproduce are considered fit for the environment. They will, hopefully, get to reproduce and pass on their genes- the genes that allowed them to survive in the first place.

Seeing as we are monkeys, in the same way we are apes, then we did evolve from them. However the misconception is that we evolved from modern monkeys which is false.

All of the evidence points to evolution being the most viable explanation for...just about everything biology-related. So yes, probably, even if our understanding of it won't always be perfect.

It can only be the most viable explanation if any other is considered. Since the inception of evolution, no other route has been pursued, so I'd wager that evolution is the only explanation that biologysts offer to anything biology-related.

Science works by using the explanation which best fits the evidence, and using theories which best model nature. Before evolution there was Lamarckism, and way before that creationism was a common belief lacking in scientific backing, but common knowledge. These prior ideas failed, and evolution "won" for being able to account for ALL evidence.

For example, creationists say "there are no transitional forms/is no macroevolution/we aren't apes/etc." This is because creationism doesn't account for any of these facts and evidences, and must deny them outright.

Side: Evolution

Evolution is just a theory and plenty of questions need to be asked about it.
