For Creationists:

If a single cell, under appropriate conditions, becomes a man in the space of a few years, there can surely be no difficulty in understanding how, under appropriate conditions, a cell may, in the course of untold millions of years, give origin to the human race.

-Herbert Spencer

The single cell is supported by a live incubator - the mother, alongside whom the father contributes DNA. No matter how many millions of years, a cell by itself cannot eventually form into a human being.. That's my belief, anyway.

"Cannot" means impossible. So unless you're harboring knowledge that no-one on Earth has ever had, the cell can indeed become a human after billions of years.

I said it was my belief that it didn't happen. However, there are even scientists who repudiate the evolution theory. The fact of the matter is, people will believe in one or the other (creation or evolution) because neither can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

That is true -- but there is a big hole in the theory of evolution...If humans were the product of the process of evolution layed out by Darwinist, it would have been physically impossible for humans to have developed DNA by now (not a creationist or a evolutionist).

Evolution has "evolved" (see what I did there!) so much from Darwin. His works would now scrape a pass in a third grade biology class.

it would have been physically impossible for humans to have developed DNA by now (not a creationist or a evolutionist).

How do you know it is impossible? If you don't, then you must admit that it is indeed possible.

I think the quotation is kinda screwy. It's like, "if one cell can make one man, then eventually there will be lots of men." 

Umm... Well... Yeah. So what? I don't get it. Haha.
