O.k peopl I had time to do a thirty minute research and found that even scientist dont agree with evolution

www.Karl Popper: On the Scientific Status of Darwin's theory of Evolution.com


"When speaking here of Darwinism, I shall speak always of today's theory--that is Darwin's own theory of natural selection supported by the Mendelian theory of heredity, by the theory of the mutation and recombination of genes in a gene pool, and the decoded genetic code. This is an immensely impressive and powerful theory. The claim that it completely explains evolution is of course a bold claim, and very far from being established. All scientific theories are conjectures, even those that have successfully passed many and varied tests. The Mendelian underpinning of modern Darwinism has been well tested, and so has the theory of evolution which says that all terrestrial life has evolved from a few primitive unicellular organisms, possibly even from one single organism."

Most true scientists believe in evolution in general, but being scientists they realize that not everything is explained. From your quote: "The claim that it completely explains evolution is of course a bold claim, and very far from being established." Proving something as large and all encompassing as evolution is very difficult, but most of the underpinnings of it have been proven, natural selection, genetic mutation, etc. These things don't prove beyond a doubt that evolution is what is the moving force behind why there are so many species of life, but it is the best scientific explanation. (By scientific I mean can be proven empirically) You can say the same things about the theory of gravity, which has been around even longer.

Faith is a hard thing to shake. Faith is a belief in a concept without proof that it exists. Many scientists are ingrained in their faith, long before they become scientists. They honor that faith and are loath to dismiss it.

The evidence for evolution is pretty clear, but it is not a proven fact. Until the so-called "missing link" is found, or until we find a way to travel back into time to observe the evolution of man in progress we will not have absolute proof. Of course I can say the same thing about the Resurrection. We have no positive proof (and I don't mean bible verses) that Jesus even existed, never mind that he was the Son of God, or was resurrected after his death.

I can see signs of evolution in action (and I don't mean the Darwin Awards). Every dog species are all descended from wolves, and man is solely responsible for their evolution. The same can be said of horses and most of the orchids in private gardens. (It has been illegal to important live orchids for quite some time, so all new species were created by man).

Evolution is a theory just as Creationism is, but evolution has strong evidence to support it, while Creationism is based on a book almost two thousand years old; a book that has been proven to be wrong, at least in one part, by Galileo. When he observed that the moons of Jupiter revolved around it he proved that everything does not revolve around the earth and he was given life imprisonment by the Catholic Church for doing this.

This may influence some scientists. The fact that most Americans are Christians, or at least a large vocal group is, could also influence scientists. I think that many scientists honor the Christian faith and believe in evolution. After all when Galileo disproved part of the bible he didn’t destroy the Christian religion. The bible is a good book to teach a moral code from, and even agnostics will have to agree with that.

one million.And how, from the textual content you quoted, are we intended to deduct that scientists are divided at the subject of evolution? He simply stated a few theories regarding the wider subject of evolutionary stories. two.Even in the event that they had been divided, there arn't that many "identified" scientists who declare evolution is erroneous. Rather, there are a few who declare that precise theories or materials of them are unsuitable, however now not the entire system of evolution.

along those lines...

You sometimes hear some archaeologist (scientist) state something like this... "We found artifacts, and the kind we found at this strata poses more questions than it answers".

So with every 2 steps forward, and 3 steps back in the ratio between answers and questions, evolutionists should finally admit that the questions and complexity of "goo-to-you" theories have been over-simplified for 100 years, and the questions about evolution explaining EVERYTHING is not going to happen in our lifetimes.

I think it is really complicated.Religion states that god created man,rather than creating something inferior which evolved into man.Scientists follow the facts and support the evolution method.I am kind of a scientist,but i won't doubt about religion.

even when the universe was in a state of chaos, GOD knew where all the pieces were at. through divine intervention he created Adam the first human being. After, through some more divine intervention, GOD used one of Adam's ribs to create Eve the second real human being. When Adam found out that GOD was f'n Eve behind his back, it pissed him of so much that there was a cataclysmic collision of what is now Earth and another planet. and the rest is as they say, history, peppered with divine intervention.

I don't see any division. To show a divide you'd have to give the opinions of two different scientists. Nothing in that quote says that he disagrees with evolution, he only says that we cannot yet fully explain evolution.

There is nothing in the quoted paragraph that actually supports your assertion. But, it is a fact that not all scientists agree with each other.

Your question seems rather pointless.

Why can't you believe in Both Creationism and Evolution.
It all had to start somewhere...that's where Creationism comes in and then things changed...there is physical evidence of that (i.e. Dinosaurs) So what's wrong with both.

So what! the evidence is all around us. Evolution is God's creation tool. It's his methodology for bringing order into chaos.
