Where do we all come from? Are we made from dust particles that were picked up by a benevolent being? Are we made from the random chance that led to life and to microorganism which eventually turned into us? These are the subjects that are argued in the creation vs evolution debate.

Where do we all come from? Are we made from dust particles that were picked up by a benevolent being? Are we made from the unlikely happenstance that led to life and to microorganism which eventually turned into us? These are the subjects that are argued in the creation vs evolution debate.
What truly defines the meaning of evolution and creation? Or is there any meaning to be found?
This is a matter that has been argued for an overly extended period of time. Everyone wants to know where they came from on both a spiritual and physical level. What separates the two is that one side believes more-so in the physical aspect. The other side believes more in the spiritual aspect. In a lot of beliefs there is some extra space in between but not by much as either one would surely disprove the other.
Evolution is as it is put. It is the belief that all life evolves over time and that we came from "lesser" beasts. It is a known fact that if one takes a fly and plucks of its wings for many generations, eventually a fly without wings will be born. That is a prime example of evolution. Are we animals that evolved from a form of ape-man who evolved from an ape?
The other approach is creationism. This one gets slightly more complicated as there are many different beliefs on where people came from. This is entirely dependent on the many different religions on the globe. This follows the belief that human beings were made with a purpose by a deity. They were made with a purpose other than to just survive.
Is life without purpose worth living? Are we slowly turning into more adapt creatures over time? Do we have purpose? These are all questions without a definite answers. The only known fact is that the creation vs evolution debate will be going on for a long time.
