Creationism or Evolution...
Either way you are discussing faith-based systems for explaining our current condition. Why not just admit that Humanity does not have enough knowledge to answer this particular question today and move forward with you own personal evolution?
Debates that go on endlessly typically don't have an answer, just a lot of debaters.
Maybe that is presumptuous of me to assume that everyone can admit that Science is a faith based system, however, the data really points to that.
Lets just debate over Coke vs. Pepsi. Science shows that they're both full of chemicals that will likely cause ill-health and cause cancer. Yet, there's no legislation against marketing targeting ages 3-8 for these clearly harmful products. Yet we debate over whether a mythical santa claus pooped us onto the earth 6000 years ago or whether we climbed out of the muddy banks from some primordial goo... Useful.
