In an evolution's theory on creation man evolved from other species which evolved from other species and so on and so forth... From a scientific view on creation life started in oceans and expanded to land, so lets go back billions of years to just before lifeforms were about to expand to land. Now lets assume there is an Anthropologist in this prehistoric time period who records various cultures creation myths.... he/she is on land and looks for any life on land but fails to find it, but sees what he/she perceives to be a blob in the water so he/she swims to this blob to see if the blob can convey it's cultures creation myth. The anthropologist begins to question this creature the first question being what their cultures creation myth is and the blob says there is no such creation myth, what he knows as creation is fact, the anthropologist says oh yes of course please tell me about it. The blob tells the anthropologist of the colliding planets and the development of single cell organisms in Earth's oceans which evolved into more complex organisms and finally into the Jellyfish (the blob says with pride).
The Jellyfish assumes it is the end of evolution, the world and the rest of the universe was created for it... the same thing us humans assume. (*Paraphrased from Ishmael by Daniel Quinn*).
Now what gives us the right to assume we are the apex of evolution? Why can't something else replace us? Species have gone extinct throughout history, what makes us immune to this possibility? If through billions of years evolution has always acted why do we assume we can halt its progression while us humans have only been around for a small percentage of the universe's supposed existence.
There is also the Christian viewpoint outside of the Evolutionist view, of Adam and Eve (after being created by God) spawning the rest of man, which no Christian (of any denominations that believe this story) would consider a creationist story but would consider this story to be fact. Now let's take a trip to ancient Greece with our anthropologist, if he were to ask for creationist tales of the Greek culture he would receive a reply by someone saying there are no creationist stories only facts quoting the mythology of Greek Gods which at the time were taken as truth.
In short, we are probably all wrong and if you can believe in something with conviction enough to stick with that belief. A. I am jealous of you and B. Good luck continuing to believe that.
