Just curious. What do you believe, God or evolution. And what evidence?

Answer 1

Personally, I dont believe either.

I have chosen to be Deistic (which is a religion that believes there could be a higher power, but if there is one, it does not interfere with life. Which includes prayer, miracles, ect.)

Any and all beliefs in a God is too sketchy and has too many diffrent variations. The bible started out as an idea but people took it too radically because the human race cant psychologically function without belief that something more exists.

Evolution is also just scientific "facts". A fact is just something that someone hasn't had the chance to disprove yet.

Don't believe me?

Look at the evolution "fact" from over 200 years ago. A scientist believed that life evolved from dead matter, therefore that was a fact. Until someone disproved it 20 years later with the proof that maggots did not enter the world because the orange was rotting, but because the fly had landed and laid eggs in the material.

Just wait, sooner or later someone will create a new fact about evolution or god/des they the whole world will be appaled at or go with completely. It depends on the time and the severity of the "discovery".

Answer 2

I believe God created the universe and all in it. There are many who think that evolution has evidence, but they are people who usually have not been informed of all the scientific facts available.

Evolution says that life is building up. The third law of thermodynamics shows us the opposited. So do the laws of genetics. Living things lose DNA as they progress, causing offshoots of species, separating until they can no longer even interbreed. Evolutionists say this is progress. If they can't even reproduce with each other, what kind of leg up is that? Sounds like regression to me. We can see this with hybrid plants that people create. They design for certain genes to be pushed out and replaced by others, so they breed accordingly. A cabbage loses genes that make it large, and poof, we have brussel sprouts. Horses are bred to lose their endurance, making them lighter and faster. Poof, we have thoroughbreds! Evolution offers too many contradictions to science to offer any serious conclusion.

Now lets look at the Bible. Why should we believe the Bible? I will appeal to three sources.

Let's look at who wrote it first. Over the course of 1,600 years, many different men had a part of writing it. We find two kings, two priests. A doctor. Two fishermen, two chepherds. A pharisee, a statesman, a tax collector, a scribe, a soldier, a butler, you get the idea.there are at least 40 writers over the millenia and a half. With a few exceptions, most of them are simple men without formal education. However, these men had the balls to claim that they were writing the word of God. They make no apology, you don't find "Well guys, this might be hard to believe, but God said this." They all write with the same authority, knowing that what they wrote was Scripture. Not only that, but these 40 writers over many years and years of separation, write with consistency. They tell the same truths without contradiction. (Those who want to challenge that idea, feel free to e-mail me and we'll talk about it.)

Next lets look at the prophecies. Countless claims were made before events happened in the Bible. The Bible predicted that Babylon would be destroyed when Babylon was the most powerful nation in the world. It would be like saying that the Girl Scouts were going to pillage Area 51. It was impossible. Yet it happened in short order, just as predicted. There were claims that men would not burn when thrown in to a firey furnace. Yeah right. Yet they didn't.

In the New Testament, we find the New Testament writers first bearing witness to the Old Testament, linking the two inextricably. Next we also have them testifying to the truth of each other, to help separate lies from truth during a time where gnostic gospels floated around like the gospel of Judas and Thomas, which taught many things that contradicted Old Testament Scripture.

We also have the witness of Jesus, who speaks of the Scriptures as well. He doesn't brag about his place as the Son of God, and when challenged about it, he uses Scripture to support his claim, instead of saying "Just trust me, I'm God". He provides evidence thorughout all four gospels. Jesus used the Old Testament enough that upon tallying 1,800 recorded quotes of Jesus, 180 of them are directly from the Old Testament. That's 10%, a pretty good number if you ask me.

So now we have the witness of Jesus, and the witness provided by the authors of the Bible. Now we have one more witness, which is the Holy Spirit. This is the part where people start having trouble. As a Christian, and a follower of Christ, I believe that Bible is the inspired word of God because of the change the Holy Spirit has done in my life to show me His truthy. It is not merely an intellectual conclusion, based completely and soley on facts. It is the response I make to the Holy Spirit's movement in my life. For those that don't know, the Holy Spirit is part of the Trinity. Jesus is God the Son, there is God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit. Think of it as body parts. The Father is the head, the Spirit is the hands, and the Son is the feet. They are all three separate parts, but together they make up one God. However, if you put your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior as the Scriptures claim, then you will find his truth opened up to you.

Answer 3

I believe very deeply in God, but there is too much evidence to discredit evolution. My personal belief is that God put everything in motion and evolution is what has brought us to to where we are today.

If you look at people for instance, we have grown taller, bigger, stronger the longer we've been on earth. Fossil evidence, heck even a suit of armor bears that out. That's evolution.

However, things that bring me peace, answered prayers, my deep faith tell me there is a God. I believe in both. Only fundamentalist will tell you they are mutually exclusive. Even the Pope says there is too much evidence to discredit evolution.

Answer 4

evolution. The Bible says that God created all animals in 6 days. It would take years to think of and create all the animals that exist now.

Answer 5

I believe in God and Proof would be the Bible and the Book of Mormon and all that god has revealed since Joseph Smith restored the Gospel to the earth

Answer 6

Anyone that has taken the time to read the bible and analyze the creation can tell you that when they refer to god creating the world in 7 days they were refering to god's time line. In the bible it also goes on to say that god has to follow the rules of creation that he has set forth.

So in a way the big bang may have been the first godly days. If you beleive in God it doesn't mean you cant beleive in evolotion.

Answer 7

I believe God created everything. But scientists say horses used to be really small, so God could have created them small, and then they evolved to what they are now with only one hoof instead of four or three toes. And scientists are supposedly really smart. But i believ God created eveything and I don't know about the rest.

Answer 8

I believe God created everything on earth. Monkeys did not turn into humans. God created humans and God created monkeys. My evidence, the Bible

Answer 9

The bible account is more credibile that evolution. Can you imagine male and female of every species evolving at the same time. Its obvious our text books need revising

Answer 10

What makes you feel God and evolution are mutually exclusive?
