That's simply untrue.  Science examines all kinds of causes.  Science
showed us, through the theory of plate tectonics, what causes earth-
quakes.  There. I've shattered *your* theory in one fell swoop.

The difference is that science refuses to just "make stuff up" (as re-
ligion does) when a cause cannot be found (as in the creation of the 
universe).  Science keeps on observing, experimenting, & theorizing un-
til a fitting, agreeable answer is found.  Science isn't in the business
of making up fairy tales (i.e. Noah's Ark).

> Yes you can say monkeys worked hard to become people, 

I never said that.  Monkeys, apes, & humans just evolved from the same
common ancestor.  They are different species.  Monkey's didn't *become*
humans.  We're just closely related to them, that's all.

You really should make the attempt to study & understand  scientific 
concepts before you criticize & try to dispute them.  That's only fair,
right?

And what is religion except suppositions without *any* evidence to 
support it?  What are you gonna believe?  The argument that *does* have
evidence to back it up, or the argument that is conjecture only?

Another incorrect thought.  The early Earth was quite inhospitable for
man.  Actually, it's only been very recently in the Earth's 4 1/2 bil-
lion year history that man has existed on this planet.  Wonder why God 
toyed around with microbes, plants, & dinosaurs for so long before he 
decided to let man have a go.  Yet another issue religion is forced to 
skirt.
