un-believers...scientists have found evolution to be impossible coz of DNA...?

Question

so now they are concluding that evolution may have possibly come from another planet, and Aliens evlolved us and then dropped us off to earth to start a new race...(some of them still stick with evolution and just avoid the DNA problem)

honestly, thats what some of them have come up with!!!

my question is, how long till u realise that the scientists dont have a clue, and really, God is the most realistic answer?
i mean, aliens?! little do they realise, they just made there own god up anyway... if the aliens made us, they are our god? so in denying God, they made another one...

i guess there getting closer to the truth...

please answer nicely, im honestly curious as to what the difference between believing this new theory and believing God is? which will you choose?

Answer 1

seriously?

Answer 2

The trouble here is not the various theories and ideas (though the "alien" theory is not commonly believed by scientists) but the "us versus them" mentality of the religious and scientists. Science and religion are two paths toward the same Truth. Maybe some of the paths science chooses don't make sense to you, but if the idea is wrong then eventually its wrongness will be discovered, so why not let them try? It's just as important to discover for certain what is NOT true as what is. Many of the scientists I know or have studied under are very religious people. In fact, I find it hard to study the beauty of the physical world and NOT be affected by it. I hope you--and all of us--can find enough room in your world for both science and God.

Though if you're really wondering about the difference between believing in the alien theory or God, someone else was right when they mentioned that believing the alien theory does not preclude belief in God, but that both ideas leave many questions unanswered. Have you ever heard of Ockham's razor? Essentially, William of Ockham suggested that every theory should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions that can be made from it. If nothing about these aliens could ever be discovered, then what's the point of having them in the theory at all? It might as well be God. It's like saying, "what if we don't exist, and everything is just the imagination of a brain in a jar?" It might be true, but there's no way of finding out one way or the other, so why bother wondering?

Answer 3

1st of all: There are amino acids that have been found in space, so that part is accepted as fact. That doesn't prove that life here came from space, but it's definitely plausible. All that means is that amino acids may have formed in a vacuu and not on earth, there's no magic or aliens involved in that.

2: What would have happened if doctors had given up on finding germs after the past 2,000 years of trying to find the source of disease? Would it have been smart for them to say "Well, we gave it a shot and just can't figure it out, so it must be god. Let's all just pray that we'll get better".

I'm not being flip with that answer, I'm serious. Why should we give up b/c a theory is doing very well, but some aspects of it are still unanswered? Evolution states that life has evolved from earlier, more primitive forms. This is very clear;y shown in the fossil record. Because we don't know where the very first life came from doesn't invalidate the entire argument.

Answer 4

I don't know which "scientists" you've been listening to, sweetie, or if you just took some other Christian's word that someone has come to that conclusion. Aliens are improbable, though not impossible, and the conclusion that life on Earth began anywhere but Earth is far-fetched at best. There is no data that refutes the theory of evolution, though, as a theory, it is subject to constant change and is not yet completley accepted as fact. You could say the same of divine intervention or whatever it's called. People who look at facts tend to believe in evolution. People who are willing to ignore facts and rely on faith tend to believe in God. People who ignore facts and just come up with things out of nowhere are the only people who would believe that Earth life was alien in nature.

Answer 5

I agree that evolution is not possible. Adaptation IS possible, but not evolution. Why? The most makes sense is that like an analogy like this: we ordered our friend to press on the keyboard randomly with his ten finger for some time. And then we expect that we can read the result of his typing. That is 99.9999999% impossible. Okay, it's maybe possible to create some short readable words in here and that. But to create a lengthy one good, readable, and understandable sentence with a random typing??? I think that's 100% impossible.

It's just like us. Our body is so complex that even just ONE single cells that make up of our body CAN'T be synthetized by whoever scientist in this world. If scientist can synthetized living cells of our body, I'm sure that the scientist has already CREATED (not modified) unknown and new type of animal or plant. But in fact, even to clone an animal, the scientist still depends on the existence of ovum. Hoping that from merely millions of coincidence, the chemical reaction can produce a life such complex as a human body by evolving million times, is like hoping that adding 1 with 1 will produce 3.

Answer 6

Where on earth have you taken that from? That really makes no sense. Someone has obviously told you a lie.

Now, even if evolution WERE false (which is actually not so), that wouldn't still prove that god is the answer. I mean, just because it isn't Monday today, doesn't mean it's Tuesday. There are five more possibilities, you know?

So, you should prove us wrong, first (which you haven't). And THEN, prove that your version is right. They're two different things.

And anyway, this is not a matter of persuading each other to accept one's ideas. I'm a non-believer, but I don't need anybody else to share my ideas. Think what you please. That's okay with me.

Answer 7

You have no proof there is a God...any God. So why is God the most realistic answer. And why, as a non-believer do I have to realize the scientists don't have a clue and automatically believe in God? Because you do? There is no more proof God created us than we evolved. Just because you believe in something doesn't make it truth. How are they getting closer to the truth if there is no way to prove there is a God? I choose neither.

Answer 8

Simply - this theory is not a mainstream scientific theory and is not part of evolution. Therefore it cannot be used to refute evolution or to provide kudos for creationists. Sorry.

This is ID, a known pseudo-science, and is nothing new.

Maybe the fact that even clergy support evolution will make you think a little.

And yes aliens creating us is a good as theory as a god creating us. Both are still open to the questions - what created them and where is the evidence.

And anyway , not understanding something is no excuse to jump to the 'god' theory (or the alien theory).

Answer 9

I am not quite sure if what you say is actually true, about not having any clue when it comes to evolution so I will not argue here.
I have a question my self here though...Ok lets say that evolution is not true...But I would still believe aliens stories than just two people called Adam and Eve, creating the whole humanity.

Answer 10

i think that alien thing is a little out there as well.. but i also find the same thing with believing in "God" whatever god you choose to believe..

i haven't heard of that alien evolution before

so i really don't see a difference between the two.. as both seem crazy made up stuff

Answer 11

As nicely as I can, I have to state that I find this entire question to be utter nonsense.

Please cite the scientific journal that reported this interesting new discovery about DNA.

You really need to educate yourself about science at a school or university, not by reading the headlines on supermarket tabloids!

Whoever it is that is telling you these things is seriously misinformed.

And, by the way, many scientists do not find that science precludes a belief in God.
