- If you are new to Heroes, you might want to start at the New User Portal.
- If you're not too familiar with editing wikis, you might like to start with Help:Editing.
- If you already are familiar with wikiediting, you might want to try Help:Style.
- If you're ready to get started, Template:Todo lists some ways you can help out.
- Of course, if you have your own idea for a new article, that's great, too.
- Recent Changes will let you see others' contributions as they happen.
- To make Recent Changes more useful for all users, remember to provide an edit summary in the Summary field before you save your changes.
- You can set the wiki to prompt you for a summary in your preferences.
- When posting on an article's Talk page you should add --~~~~ or click the signature button.
- This will add a signature and timestamp to the end of your comment so others can easily tell who posted it.
- Any new sections on an article's Talk page should be added to the bottom of the page and not to the top.
- When editing normal article pages, don't sign your contributions.
- If you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to leave a message for an administrator.
- You can also customize your user page if you like.

About Evolution
Many people might not know this, but science is about knowledge, not naturalism. It is the search for the underlying causes of why things happen. No one ever said that this must exclude a divine being. Also, modern science as we know it virtually disproves the basic parts of the theory of evolution. For Darwinian Evolution to be true, the world must have existed for billions of years, as most scientists claim. However, not one scientist has been able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that their methods of dating are accurate. They reject, on average, close to 50% of all their test results because the answers aren't what they expected them to be. On the other hand, so-called 'Creation Scientists' have deduced that based on factors such as the amount of salt added to the ocean each year by runoff, the decay of the Earth's magnetic field, and even population growth dynamics (all of which are perfectly 'scientific' and naturalistic by any definition), the Earth cannot possibly be any older than a few thousand years.
- [submitted comment by accident, wasn't quite done ;)] Also, those who say evolution is the antithesis to religion are completely wrong. More religions in today's world center around evolutionary philosophies, though not neccesarily Darwinian Evolution (for example; liberal Christianity/Islam/Judaism, Bhuddism, Hinduism, Taoism, Humanism, Bahaism, Unitarianism, to name just a few) than do Special Creation. In fact, as far as I know, only three main religions and sub-religions are based around Special Creation - Christianity, Islam, and Judaism (interestingly enough, all worship the God of Abraham).
Even mathematically, Evolution does not fit. Here's an interesting problem; assuming the known universe is 5x10^9 lightyears in radius, if it were to be packed to the brim with matter, there would be approximately 10^130 sumatomic particles in existence. Now, if we also assume for a moment that the universe has existed for 3,000 bilion years, (even longer than most Evolutionists would give it), and that each particle can take part in 10^20 reactions/events per second, this gives us a total of 10^170 possible events in all of history. For life to appear, one or more of these events must take place in a certain combination. A famous scientist by the name of Golay figured that the odds of this happening were 10^450 : 1 - and this was allowing for 1500 successive events, each with a probability of 1 in 2. Therefore, the highest possible probability of life spontaneously arising is 10^170/10^450, or 1 in 10^280. Now, I'm not sure if you realize this, but mathematicians say that if the chances of something happening are less than the greatest number of possibilities (10^170), the probability is considered zero. Therefore, it is utterly impossible for life to spontaneously arise. It must have been created.
Whew! Did you get all that? --Yamawhata? 14:09, 12 October 2008 (EDT)
