Creation vs. Evolution....Who's right?

Scientific and archeoligical findings vs. faith and belief in the word of the testament. Hmmm.... who is right? Well what if both are right? Wouldn't that be a crazy thought? What if God did indeed create us and all the other creatures of the earth and we evolved and continue to evolve to this day? If you combine statements from the Bible and simple facts the scientists have uncovered, it is easy to see that indeed both sides are correct. When God created Adam and then Eve, he states that he meant for them to walk amongst the other creatures he created as one of them. A leader of these creatures but a creature nonetheless. He created us with the physical ability and mental capacity to rule over other creatures but not be self aware or spiritual in any way. This all changed of course when Adam ate that dadblasted real or metaphoric apple. I lean towards metaphoric on that one. Don't you think that God loves all his creatures and would want them to be able to strive and survive under any condition and with the changing elements? Then why is it so hard to believe he would have made us able to change and adapt to whatever surroundings we find ourselves in? That is called evolving my friends. That is us as humans changing slowly over time to adapt. If you just look at early pictures of us just a 100 or so years ago, you can see that we have changed physically somewhat. To get to the point, a man meant to walk amongst the other creatures not being self aware, not concerned with its looks, just trying to survive by the simplest of means, would look like a so-called caveman. Once Adam and Eve ate that "apple" and became self aware, God decided then to make us higher spiritual beings. We became smart enough to think of continuous ways to make our lives easier. The easier we make our lives, the less dependant we are of the protective traits that we had way way back then. All of the body hair would be a prime example of this. Given that we learned to get the heck out the elements as much as possible. We then didn't need our bodies covered with hair for protection. Of course, some people still today exhibit this trait more than others. A man's backhair for example could be a carry over trait due to the fact that man stayed out in the elements alot longer than women to go hunting and gathering. Causing man to need some of this protective covering still. It might sound so crazy that it has to be right. Makes you wander what future humans could look like huh? Please ponder on that because I certainly intend that to be a future discussion as well. Class dismissed :).
