Would the same people who argue against Evolution here have argued against a round Earth 500 years ago?

Question

And against the sun orbiting the Earth? See a pattern? It seems silly now for someone to claim the Earth isn't a sphere. Will it seem just as silly 500 years from now for someone to say that life didn't evolve from simple organisms?

Answer 1

No, because unlike those other things evolution is a myth.

The question I have is will the scientific community which embraces evolution be like the "scientific community" which embraced a flat world with four corners and the "scientific community" which embraced a earth centric universe. Remember, we don't have the documents of the thoughts of the common people from those long ago eras; we have the documents of their most "profound" thinkers. Today you are mocking them for their views.

Answer 2

You're confused, the debate in the middle ages was whether the Earth revolved around the Sun or vice versa, and based on geometric models both work.

People knew the Earth was round since the beginning just about because they could see how the Earth curved upon the horizon as ships went out across the seas, it wasn't measured until two Greeks (I forget who) used some large lighthouse or something and measured the angle from where they were standing to the top from opposite sides and then estimated the size of the earth as a polygonal shape, they were pretty close too. The flat Earth thing is from movies and stuff.

Life didn't evolve from simple organisms, show me any lifeforms that have "evolved" during the historical era, none. Though many have been selected for certain genotypes of genomes by man (breeds of dogs).

The only life form that is even seen as to mutate to an advantage are viruses, which are still debated as to whether they are organisms or not since they require a host cell to produce them but they themselves infect a cell. This is why viruses are one of the key creations that show God or rather God's punishment of sin exists for they could not exist without being put here in the first place to infect someone.

Answer 3

It seems to me that it takes a lot of faith to believe that the earth, and the entire universe, just popped up out of nothing one day. There is a scientific law that states that matter cannot be created or destroyed, so where did the simple organisms come from to begin with? I mean, the fact that the earth is round and orbits the sun coincides with scientific law, unlike the theory of evolution which blatantly contradicts it. See what i mean?

Answer 4

Did you know that the bible taught long before man that the earth was a sphere, and that it did not rest on elephants as thought by scientist?

Isaiah 40:22 There is One who is dwelling above the >circle of the earth<, the dwellers in which are as grasshoppers, the One who is stretching out the heavens just as a fine gauze, who spreads them out like a tent in which to dwell,

Job 26: 7 He is stretching out the north over the empty place,>Hanging the earth upon nothing<.

So, seeing as how the bible knew before man that the earth was a sphere, and did not sit on elephants. I think that it is silly to believe in mans teachings rather than the bible!

Answer 5

Would the same people who argue against creationism here have argued against a round Earth 500 years ago?
It can go both ways! :)

Answer 6

Absolutely.... it stems from the same ignorance to scientific facts!!! There is so much scientific evidence to support the theory that the earth is round, and that the sun is the center of the universe and evolution. Some people are just to stubborn to accept that they are wrong, and that science is right.

Answer 7

Yes they would. The funny thing is, those who did not believe the Earth was round so many centuries ago, believed it because of what they felt were sound scientific reasons, not because imaginary characters, in a book (aka, the bible) compiled to fill the needs of oppressive, power hungry leaders to keep their kingdoms in line, said so.

Answer 8

I think that lots of things that are happening today will be viewed as silly in the future. Denying evolution as fact is one of them.

Answer 9

Probably. And they'd be the same people who argued that allowing a black man to marry a white woman was evil incanate!
Ignorance is ignorance. And chrisitans have it in DROVES...

Answer 10

Quite possibly. I know Christians who still think the Geocentric theory is true.
