will evolution eventually render christianity irrelevant?

Answer 1

It already has! There are just a large number of people who refuse to admit that they are wrong. They find comfort in thinking that their religion is the absolute truth. I wish I was dumb enough of believe all that crap. I'd probably be happier! But Christianity is a bunch of fairy tales and folklore.

Answer 2

It's a perception made by the media and cyclically reinforced by education that evolution is a fact. It has always been called "The Theory of Evolution".

No, evolution will not render christianity irrelevant, because paradigms change. The emphasis these days is not on what is true or false, so much as what works and what doesn't. Evolution does nothing for the person on the street, whereas Jesus is a real person who is alive in people who give their lives over to him. Because Jesus has a living relationship with people and is not a religion (rules of how to get to heaven by your efforts), Jesus is both true and works for people. So he remains more relevant than anything.

It's unfortunate that churches that do not keep up with the questions of people and move on in how they do things convey the idea that christianity is irrelevant or dying. In many churches the message is that the church is irrelevant, trying to preserve something from dying rather than being alive, dynamic, living and real - the non-traditional churches, the Pentecostals and charismatic churches and Third-Wave churches however convey the aliveness of Jesus very much. So go where you see life.

Evolution is only a theory, with only circumstantial proof visually linking one creature to another. Sure, monkeys look like people, but there is no proof that one became the other through genetic evolution - it is only a conclusion by way of appearances. It is just as plausible that all creatures were made by the same creator. Yet the intelligent design concept is not given any fair treatment because it apparently muddies science with religion. I say that any belief in science is based on a philosophy of some sort, and if you don't believe in God when making scientific conclusions you believe in something else to draw your conclusions, and that philosophy too should be held to scrutiny. The myth of objectivity is alive and well when one discards one theory and upholds another with no better evidence available. No creature has ever ben demonstrated to become another creature through evolutionary theory.

Another issue is that as long as people who believe one thing educate and raise another generation to believe the same thing, it will remain. But if there is no truth to it, or if it shows that it doesn't work, it will be abandoned and people will leave it, and it will become extinct. Becaue Jesus is alive and has made a difference by transforming people throughout history and today and will do so until he returns, there will not only be a preservation of christianity but a thriving future because an eternal living God will be alive, have power to change people and people will be sharing that for as long as they live.

Answer 3

Do you mean micro or macro evolution? We have experienced micro evolution for thousands of years. The Christian faith has no problem with that. It's the macro evolution that causes the challenge. While Christians openly admit that they believe by faith, macro evolutionists ultimately must also believe what they believe through faith. Science can't prove it nor was there an eye witness account (direct observation). Neither was there indirect observation... it always comes back to faith. Evolution does not answer the question of eternal salvation. Christianity does, therefore evolution can never make Christianity irrelevant.

Answer 4

Not likely, considering a lot of Christians still find their belief system relevant while also believing the theory of Evolution.

Evolution does not describe a lot of what we ask, for example what the meaning behind existence is, or if there is a meaning. Evolution just explains how we got here, not why we got here it also fails to explain how life began in the first place, or how nature seemingly helped it along.

Answer 5

do not think so this is why Darwin and Huxley push this agenda. they created a belief in a effort to get rid of Jesus. yet like Volitare their efforts has taken some from bbelieving . but Jesus name is still proclaimed.

Christianity has fought, still fights, and will fight science to the desperate end over evolution, because evolution destroys utterly and finally the very reason Jesus’ earthly life was supposedly made necessary. Destroy Adam and Eve and the original sin, and in the rubble you will find the sorry remains of the son of god. Take away the meaning of his death. If Jesus was not the redeemer who died for our sins, and this is what evolution means, then Christianity is nothing!” Bozarth, G. Richard, “The Meaning of Evolution,” American Atheist (February 1978), p. 30


Scientists who go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great con-men, and the story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever. In explaining evolution we do not have one iota of fact." Dr. T. N. Tahmisian, Physiologist, Atomic Energy Commission. As quoted in: Evolution and the Emperor's New Clothes, 3D Enterprises Limited, 1983, title page

"Evolution is a fairy tale for grownups." Dr. Louis Bounoure, Director of the Zoological Museum and Director of Research at the National Center of Scientific Research in France, J. Rostand, "LaMonde et la Vie," October 1963, p. 31 from V. Long, "Evolution: A Fairy Tale for Adults," Homiletic and Pastoral Review, Vol 78 (1978), no. 7, pp. 27-32

Biologists are simply naive when they talk about experiments designed to test the theory of evolution. It is not testable. They may happen to stumble across facts which would seem to conflict with its predictions. These facts will invariably be ignored and their discoverers will undoubtedly be deprived of continuing research grants." Professor Whitten (Professor of Genetics, University of Melbourne, Australia), 1980 Assembly Week address


"One of the reasons I started taking this anti-evolutionary view, was ... it struck me that I had been working on this stuff for twenty years and there was not one thing I knew about it. That's quite a shock to learn that one can be so misled so long. ...so for the last few weeks I've tried putting a simple question to various people and groups of people. Question is: Can you tell me anything you know about evolution, any one thing that is true? I tried that question on the geology staff at the Field Museum of Natural History and the only answer I got was silence. I tried it on the members of the Evolutionary Morphology Seminar in the University of Chicago, a very prestigious body of evolutionists, and all I got there was silence for a long time and eventually one person said, 'I do know one thing -- it ought not to be taught in high school'." Dr. Colin Patterson, Senior Paleontologist, British Museum of Natural History, London Keynote address at the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, 5 November, 1981

Answer 6

Actually, modern discoveries are granting more and more support for intelligent design. Textbooks used in most schools and Universities intentionally exclude the evidence that contradicts Evolutionary design. For example, the two main observation upon which Darwin based his work are invalid.

The first observation were the birds whose beaks grew longer during a drought. Unfortunately for Darwin's theory it is an inborn trait. The change was not spotaneous. Two years later the area had flooding and their beaks went back to normal size.

The second observation was that of Moths in London. As the level of smog increased Darwin noted that moths that were once white ;had "turned" grey or spotted. In reality, the grey and spotted moths were once less common, but were still there. As the air turned grey from the coal smoke, the white moths died off while the grey and spotted ones were more likely to survive and thus more likely to pass on thier genetic tendency to be grey or spotted.

A good book to read on this subject is "The Case for a Creator" by Lee Strobel. He presents the opinions of highly qualified members of the scientific field who present the evidence for intelligent design.

Strobel was an athiest journalist who began to research the possibility of the existance of God in an attempt to understand his wife's conversion from athiesm to Christianity.

Answer 7

No, it never will... however, evolution may eventually render creationism (a related religion) irrelevant. The deep spiritual truths buried in Christianity will eventually be uncovered if all of the layers of bullsh** (such as creationism and opposition to homosexuality) are first removed.

Answer 8

Christianity is to strong and powerful to let that happen, but evolution is not possible, why people never learn to live with each other, they do today as they did yesterday
Humans must be taught what is not natural, therefore if they were taught to care for one another at birth they would, so you taught the human a monkey, that was smarter than the human, but now the human is smarter that the monkey, not possible, and god only said he put life in the human that he made, so it impossible to prove it wrong, my self I do believe it was alien created

Answer 9

Evolution and Christianity are not incompatible. Genesis isn't a technical book but a story trying to explain a vast subject to simple people. I have no problem with seeing God establish the natural laws which include evolution. Evolution has never shaken my belief in God or in Jesus as my savior. In fact evolution has made me be far more in awe of God -- God is an awesome God!

Answer 10

don't make evolution any more true.
Christianity is growing in much of the world, Kingdom Halls are being built globally. People are learning the lies fed by the world and learning the truth of God. Evolution teachings are failing as at an expotential rate people are turning to God for infinately wise guidance rather than the erroneous teachings of limited humans.

Answer 11

Actually the internet will. Folks can now find out there were dozens of other myths with the same traits they now associate with Jesus and that the 'god' of the OT was based on the Anannaki, not even the creative force of the universe. And as one prophet once said "The truth shall set ye free".
