What makes evolution true versus creation?

Question

Let me try it this way....try and prove to me your side....evolution or creation. Thanks it will be a big help.

Now I know this is harder for Christians to answer because it goes mostly on faith but please try....I am not getting many answers from the Christian side and I would like to hear some evidence from your side too if you can. Thanks

Answer 1

Hello!...dinosours! Oh yeah...which story are you speaking of? The 1st one or the 2nd? That should be a clue, there are two different stories in the same book! And neither one mentions the dinasours. Humm... maybe they were written long after the dinasours died off. But wait, if God had spoke to the person who wrote it, "he" would have known we were gonna discover the dinasours, so why didn't "he" give us some insight into them? Why?...because the stories of creation are merely symbolic myths.
Creative works of fiction.

Answer 2

The key to that question is evidence. The evolution side of the argument is based on almost 150 years of scrutiny and evidence. The evidence is there in all disciplines of science (biology, archaeology, genetics, etc.). It all points to an ever-changing environment with an ever changing array of species. Less than one percent of modern species have been here for more than 50 million years. That may sound like a long time, but is merely a speck in the grand scheme of things. Most species have either had to adapt to a changing eco-system or die.

On the other hand there is creationism. It's only tangible support is the Bible. There is no fossil, biological, genetic, or any other scientific evidence that backs it. There are charlatans like Kent Hovind who falsify evidence to make their case, but that is all I have seen.
Believe what you want, but I will side with evidence, logic, and evolution.

Answer 3

There is evidence to suggest evolution, creation was just a story that was told thousands of years ago because they didn't know any better. It's okay to study it as part of religion but to treat it as fact in face of evidence to the contrary is silly and dangerous.

There was once a time the smartest minds in the world believed the earth was flat, should still tell our children they could fall off the sides of the earth?

Answer 4

Why Choose? With The Glory Of Intelligent Design You Can Have Both. God Created Evolution. Game Over, It's A Tie. Why Are We Still Arguing? With ID We Can All Be Right (Or All Be Wrong).

Answer 5

I don't believe in evolution. If a monkey slowly became man, then along the same logic other animals should have become intellegent over so much time.
Yet animals today are no smarter than you remember from the zoo when you were little. Maybe the training is better but that is not evolution.

Answer 6

In general science can never prove anything, people put forward hypotheses based upon observation such as evolution and then collect evidence and perform experiments to test the hypothesis. A well designed experiment can disprove a hypothesis but never prove one. A hypothesis that passes many experimental tests and which is not superceded by a better hypothesis is gradually accepted as provisionally true, but not absolute truth. The faith involved in science is that in the value of scientific method in discerning truth, there is no objective way to prove it works just subjective experience as to the quality of life and understanidng of the universe it has brought. Some hypotheses are not falsifiable, ie there isn't a way to disprove them so we can either accept them or not, such as god. In the cases of supernatural beings who aren't subject to the laws of the physical universe it can always be argued that they changed rules so the experiment is invalid, in the early 1800's some geologists argued that god had planted fossils during creation to confound our faith, science cannot disprove this. God could have designed a universe that appears to operate independently of him as a trick to test us. As for the quasi-thermodynamic argument about systems going from more complex to less complex, this disingenuous, as long as the global(universal) entropic effect is correct the development of locally more organized systems is clearly possible and has been observed in many inorganic as well as biological systems.

Answer 7

The complexity of the universe:

evolutionists believe that life can come from something that's not alive. Believers of the spontaneous generation thought something like this, and it has already been proven scientifically incorrect.

Also, for protein to miraculously come together as a single cell organism is b.s. You know why? A single cell is like factory in itself with the ability to live, eat, survive, and reproduce. To say that evolution is true, is like saying that if a tornado hits a junkyard, the result will be a complex factory.

Everything in this universe has a code, or laws that bind it. (DNA, Laws of Physics, Laws of Chemistry, ect., ect.) Now, why are there laws? Using common logic, we can deduce that the only way for laws to be in place are if someone puts the laws there. Now, the only question that remains is "who put the laws there?" and the answer is, an intelligent designer. (God)

if you would like to argue, or want to speak with me more, i would be happy to speak with you and answer any of your questions.

Answer 8

They aren't really comparable. Evolution is supported by evidence: Creation is... umm... mythology. Also, evolution refers to a process of change. It doesn't really address where the very first thing came from, so comparing them is like comparing a condominium in Florida with Pegasus.

Answer 9

Evolution is based on actual evidence. Creation is based on a fictional book.

Answer 10

Creation was an idea created by prehistoric man. Evolution was a theory discerned through years of observation, measurement and testing.
