Hey creationists, why do you feel the need to comment on something you know nothing about?

Question

I'm referring to evolution. You people keep saying that "it's only a theory". Do ANY of you know what that means? I'm guessing the answer is a resounding "no".

Do yourselves a favor ok? Drop that outdated book of bronze-age jewish mythology and do some REAL reading for a change. I've added an excellent link that explains, in the simplest of terms, why Evolution is both a fact, and a theory. The site also explains Macro Vs Micro evolution (both of which have been observed) and many other things you are ignorant of.
Please read and think about what you've read. I know none of you are used to that (thinking) but give it a try. You may find it a refreshing change.

Here is the link for the explanation of Evolution as a fact, and as a theory and how it is both (yes, that is possible in the Scientific world)

And this one simply explains how your magic sky-pixie is a figment of your imagination. Nothing more

Ah yes thanks for that reminder, I had almost forgotten about "Dr." Ken Hovind and his 'diploma mill' degree. The rest of you can save it, he has NO credentials.
And Wiccans are great. I have nothing but love and affection for most Wiccans. THEY don't threaten people with hell if you don't believe the way they do. Besides most Wiccan girls are HOT!

Jeez Hera did you even read the GD page?!? Let me explain this to you again, and I'll use words with the least number of syllables so that I don't overly confuse you.
You and me not come from monkeys. You, me and monkeys come from same primate ancestor long time ago.
That why still monkeys and us. You get it now?

Don't be stupid and you wont be treated as such. Got it?

King,
thanks for the laugh today! That website has to be, without a doubt the funniest parody I've ever seen!
I've forwarded the link to some friends and one of them spit coffee all over his screen he laughed so hard!

When you link a website that says that man and dinosaurs walked together, your credibility goes down the toilet. Literally.
Come on man, you CANNOT be taken seriously if you try and use mythology to explain science.
It's a childish argument and a childish mind that says "ghod(tm) did it" when asked about the world we live in. Grow up ok?

Are you for real? You claim that the bible is 100% correct. As it should be. After all it was written by a "perfect being" right?
So why is it RIDDLED with inaccuracies, lies and half-truths.
I'll cite my favorite example from Leviticus;
11:19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

So, according to this "perfect" being, did'nt know that bats are NOT birds. You'd think he above all would know that, as he created them. I for one cannot believe that this deity is as stupid as his followers, but maybe he just likes to dumb down his manfesto so as to not confuse his typical followers...

whoisgod71.
There is PLENTY of information on macroevolution. We scientists keep them in arcane, hermetic vaults of esoteric knowlege known as "museums" and "libraries".
You may want to check them out some day...
Oh and for the record, science doesn't worry about "why" it is only concerned about "how'" and "when". We leave the philosophy to philosopers and mythology to creationists...

whoisgod71.
I see that, like every other creationist retard, you need ME to hold your hand and lead you to the information. Sorry I won't waste my time. If you were sincere about wanting to learn, then you'd do it. Since you show NO sign of intellectual curiosity I won't waste the time and effort to post them or the names of the books you should read for you.
You are the perfect example of what my father used to say "son, you can lead an idiot to knowledge, but you can't make him think".

Answer 1

Religious though is cyclical in nature. In grammar school we learned that you aren't supposed to use the word you are defining in the definition itself. It's funny how religion breaks this logic every day.

Me. "How did we get here?"
Them. "God made us"
Me. "Who made god?"
T. "He was always there"
Me. "If he was always there, then couldn't humans have just always been here?"
T. "No god was always there"
Me. "You just said that"
T. "That's because it's true"
Me. "Oh please!"
T. "You'll rot in hell if you don't believe as I do"
Me. "Now you're threatening me if I don't believe"
T. "No, god is threatening you"
Me. "So god is a cruel bastard"
T. "He is vengeful"
Me. "A vengeful god that promotes peace?"
T. "Yes"
Me. "You don't see a problem with that?"
etc...

Answer 2

im interested in where you find a compelling arguement for macroevolution, i wish you had included a link for the argument for macroevolution

the thing is this

your theory, or the accepted evolutionary theory contains a premise, that living things can only come from other living things, here's a quote from your link: "It is a fact that all living forms come from previous living forms".

now if this is so, then where did the first living thing come from

i have read both the intelligent design arguments and the evolution arguments and i dont even see why these two things are at odds with one another

if evolution is the complex amazingly brilliant process whereby organisms are constantly getting better and adapting and improving in consciousness, is this not the best argument for a desginer?

you would never say look at a great new software program and wonder or not if it got together by accident would you? you'd know SOMEONE created it and if it were really good, you have high respect for the creator

the understanding of a belief in evolution and the fact of evolution do not preclude a belief in god

and it is time for evolutionists to grow up a little bit and understand that they may have the answers to the questions of "how" but that they do not have the answer to the ultimate question which is "why"?

Answer 3

I don't exactly appreciate my own beliefs being put down...I deal with atheists constantly about this kind of thing. I believe in creationism...for the mere reasons that a)I believe in God and b)If we had come from monkeys, then explain to me why monkeys still exist in their original form. You can tell me all about BigFoot is the missing link...sorry, I won't believe there's a giant deformed ape tromping around in my yard until it is proven true. I believe that perhaps the first human beings did not entirely resemble us as we are today (an explanation for the fossils found of neanderthals and cro-magnons), but I would never force myself to believe some crazy fairytale about how my ancestors swung through trees and picked fleas off of each other. It never happened that way. Evolution has NOT been proven, neither has creationism, and so they both remain theories. Choose what theory you wish...I'll be open minded to your beliefs, as long as you stop putting down what I believe in. I'm not a holyroller, but I'm entitled to my opinion, as are you. Do not be ignorant.

Answer 4

I am a creationist and do know what a theory is as it pertains to science. As a matter of fact here is one of the definitions of it from Webster's "a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain natural phenomena."

The key word is "offered". Just because there is a theory out there does not mean I have to ascribe to it. Just look at all the theories in cosmology, you have many scientists having many theories that are plausible and scientifically acceptable to many people.

I am very interested in science, however people can take a series of facts and make different extrapolations based on the data depending on their preconceptions.

I recommend http://www.answersingenesis.org for some very well thought out arguments based on current science with the Bible as the inerrant word of God as the basis.

I specifically refer you to http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/science.asp

Answer 5

Do you know how many scientist believe in creation? Do you know how many scientist do not believe in evolution?
Scientist are now telling us that the evidence seem to favor the belief in creation. They see too many problems with evolution.
Micro-evolution or adaptation is observable in nature to day-like when a black dog had Brown puppies, or a finch grows a longer beak.
Macro-evolution HAS NEVER BEEN OBSERVED. It is impossible according to most scientist. Macro-evolution is where a T-Rex lays an egg and a mocking bird hatches. it does not happen.
You need to get a little more current on your science. You are in a minority.

Answer 6

Just a thought here, but maybe if both parties stopped using terms like "magic sky-pixie" or "theoretical bull****", each would have a much greater understanding of the other, as they would not have to needlessly expend the mental energy on argument. The truth of the matter is that we CANNOT prove or disprove the existence of god in any way, shape, or form... even if we can prove that 'theory' of evolution is correct.

Answer 7

HEY, I said that!!

Look, there is more than one "theroy" of evolution. There have sprung up many diffrent views, and two are commonly taught and accepted. The Big Bang, and Evolution of Ape to Man.

Ape to Man is missing one thing "the missing link". It has not been found. That is essential. They can site this trend, and that trend, but when you get down to the really juicy "this is the jump point", its not there. Hence your idea, with wich you mention it is both a fact and a theroy.

My idea, my claim, that I believe it to be a theroy yet still solidly unproven is no diffrent than a claim that it is an absoloute fact. So wich is it? None of us yet know, hence the word BELIEF.

And you can name site after site to tell me Gods not real, and I can name site after site that says he is. None of them are any more factual than the other, and for all of us, whether you believe in God or not, it IS a matter of faith. You either put your faith in Science, that someday they dont disporve themselves, or you put it in God, that someday science does not completley disprove him (wich they have yet to do).

Answer 8

You know what? I believe in Creationism because it is in the Holy Bible which I believe is 100% accurate. Take a look at the evedence on that! If you decide to believe that the Bible is accurate and true, take a look at Genesis, Chapter 1. Everything is explained! By the way, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so don't dis ours! I didn't dis yours!

Answer 9

I'm very aware of what evolution is. And it's as silly as a truck full of paint driving down a road in Italy and crashing into a building to make the painting on the Cystine Chapel, if you know what I mean

Answer 10

Macroevolution has never been observed. Unfortunately, macroevolution teaches that one type of animal changes to a completely differerent kind of animal. For instance, a cow will never change into a completely different kind of animal; it will always be a cow. Similarly, your assumption that creationists are also not scientists displays either ignorance, lying, or perhaps both.

Answer 11

You are confusing THEORY and HYPOTHESIS. The latter is a posed question like, "is the world flat?.

THEORY is the probable answer to that question based on strictly controlled scientific research (using the scientific method). The provable facts collected in this research is considered , and a theory is presented
