If you don't believe in the one, true God, explain...?

Question

Explain how it just so happens that all of nature is in perfect proportions and why we aren't still evolving into monkeys? What's your proof that the Bible is NOT true?

Answer 1

Ummmm Last time I checked humans have never evolved into monkeys. However, there has been a lot of scientific research indicating that apes may have evolved into humans over very long amounts of time. Evolution is something that occurs over an extremely long amount of time... if humans started living in water now- in thousands of years we could live like a fish. Do your research and don't judge people on what they do or do not believe. That isn't very Christian-like is it? Christians are supposed to be really nice and respectful aren't they? The Bible could hold some truth, or it could possibly just be a way of setting good morals. No one knows for sure if God exists, and thats a fact. I think you need to do some research.... I mean good grief- you thought we evolved into monkeys. I think you're a little backwards. haha!

Answer 2

First of all... here's a link from a Christian apologetics site that *agrees* that Christians should not make an argument with the question - "If we evolved from apes, why are there still apes."

http://www.answersingenesis.org/Home/Area/faq/dont_use.asp#apes


"This girl is lost" says there's evidence that apes evolved into humans over long periods of t time, and that's a falsity. That is not the currently accepted concept of how humans evolved.

The concept is that there was a common ancestor, before there were apes, monkeys, or humans, this common ancestor was here. We'll call it the CAs.

The CAs roamed the earth. Then, some CAs went to live in an area that was dry, and some stayed in the tropical jungle areas.

The ones that went to the dry areas evolved into humans. The ones that stayed in the jungle evolved into apes and monkeys.

This is an example... the point is that the common ancestor evolved to adapt to its environment. And since it lived in differing environments, it evolved into different species.

As for proof that the Bible is not true... first ask yourself, would God lie to you? I don't believe that God would lie, and I don't believe that God would deliberately put something in the Bible that is wrong or contradictory in order to deceive people. I don't believe that He would allow the Bible to be corrupted by men and then hold the people that later rejected it as false responsible for turning their back... simply because it IS false.

So, to me there's a few possibilities.

1. The Christian God doesn't exist.

2. The Christian God allowed the Bible to be corrupted and wrongly translated and copied. People turn away because those mistakes make it look like lies. God will still hold them responsible for not believing it... and He's therefore not as good as I would think God to be.

3. See 2, except He will not hold people responsible for thinking for themselves and seeing the problems in the Bible.

Now... if you want to know what problems I speak of, then see these sites.

Answer 3

1) You need to learn the difference between monkeys and apes.

2) How do you know human beings aren't still evolving? It's believed that infertile couples who can't conceive children, are natural selection in the active now. Has the Guiness World Book of records overlooked you as living on this earth for millions of years to personally state that we are not still evolving?

Answer 4

I reject your premise.

What makes you think we have stopped evolving? Natural selection is still going on.

Are you aware that there is a genetic mutation that is related to the Bubonic Plague? The mutation is recessive -- so in most cultures it disappears after a generation or two. In places where the Plague never hit (like Eastern Asia and most of Africa) the instance of this mutation is close to zero. But in areas where the Plageue hit (western and northern Europe) people without the mutation tended to die. People with one copy (from one parent) of the mutation got sick -- but recovered. People with two copies of the mutated gene (one from both parents) never got sick.

Since so many survivors had the mutated gene, they were able to pass it on to their ancestors -- it didn't die out. This is natural selection at work.

The interesting thing is that if you have two copies of this mutated gene, not only are you immune to the Plague -- you are also immune to AIDS. The plague is a bacteria -- but attacks the immune system in pretty much the same way that AIDS does.

So -- man is evolving to be immune to diseases like AIDS.

This isn't the only gene that is changing.

We evolve with each generation.

Answer 5

Read the answers to the questions I posted.

Because if the environment was not conducive to things that thrive in that environment, they would not thrive.

Ever notice there are no trees in the desert? Environment determines evolution of all things.

Answer 6

Why do you care what others believe? He gave us free will to decide....
