Why do some of you believe in evolution?

Question

Genesis 1:24 states: "Then God said, 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to it's kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to it's kind', and it was so". Do you know why everything reproduces after it's kind? Do you know why after more than 120 years after Darwin, no missing links have ever been found? Other than it's written in scripture; which is God's Word; the basic building blocks of life, DNA, is written in a digital code.

There's two ways which information can be stored. Analogue or digital. An example of analogue would be a themometer. You watch the mercury rise, and you know it's getting warmer. Another example would be the hands on a clock. As you watch the hands move, you get a feeling of time passing. Digital can be represented by a clock with numbers. If you see the numbers 2 colon 4 & 5, you know it's quarter to three. We know that because we all agreed 4 is more than 2. Digital requires design.

Another example of digital is Paul Revere, and the two lanterns. Only reason that code worked is because it was designed and agreed upon. Digital needs a designer, it can't evolve. That's why a missing link has never been found. The DNA code to make all living things is digital, and needs a designer. The DNA code can't evolve on it's own.

So when the Bible says that each will reproduce after it's kind, it was correct.
No evolution, no missing links. Just the hand of God.

Answer 1

I accept Evolution as there have been links found, lots and lots. What I don't understand is why Theologians think that Evolution is an attack on creation. Genesis did not lay out the way in which God created the universe, and beyond that gave us the tools to uncover how he did it.(If you subscribe to ID) My question is, why is it that every time the scientific community is in a position to make a discovery, the religious community feels threatened? (Look up the church's response to Christopher Columbus) What is the religious community afraid of? As far as the arguement that I hear on a regular basis from Creationists (I didn't come from a monkey) that response just prove ignorance of the theory. It doesn't say we came from monkeys but that we shared a common ancestor.

Answer 2

The progress of evolution took place to create a world of preconceived life. ''Let the earth bring forth the living creature'.
The earth itself was commanded by an unknown force. It is neither analogue or digital, life is mathematical making it processive and in that condition also destined for an end result which is dependent on the sum of its parts. The intelligent design is that two plus two equals four, always has, always will.

Answer 3

regrettably, convinced. i do no longer understand the way they can deal with the cognitive dissonance. you're not any more nicely-knowledgeable because you do not note of that concept is the utmost consider technology. it really is not any longer a guess. it really is ignorant to assert "only a concept". the instantly ahead ancestor of all apes (consisting of people and chimps) is a monkey and which may be shown for your delight. It does no longer matter upon the idea of evolution. it really is a actuality. Theories do no longer have info which in uncomplicated phrases applies in mathematics. Theories have info. there is not any info of a god of any variety. Theories are falsifiable. it is a function, no longer a trojan horse. If info is produced that exhibits yet another concept or this one desires change, then we realized something and are grateful for it. faith does no longer have that function. And it really is requred. So introduction through a god isn't able to being a concept. because the invention of mitochodrial DNA ancestry will be determined through genetic mapping and we do not favor bones to verify the idea. Theories make predictions and could be utilized to strengthen different theories and open up completely new strains of inquiry. the idea of evolution is sensible because is works, no longer unavoidably because it really is actuality. Evolution is actuality yet organic determination is a concept. final analysis is that it extremely works. God as a proof would not artwork for us and is actual no longer an answer in that regard. Its an excuse no longer to imagine about it.

Answer 4

Evolution is not something you get to believe in or not. It's a fact, just as true as 2+2=4. You cannot keep discussing that in the 21st. century. On the other hand, the bible is just a book, that we don't know where it's from, how genuine it is, how serious it is, or how trustworthy it is. Of course we know the bible says something different from Evolution. But why would you take the bible to be true, if evolution is a perfectly proven scientific fact?

Answer 5

i believe in evolution. if you go by the bible it doesn't make sense. but the person who wrote the bible didn't want you to believe in evolution. people and animals are evolving all the time. and it wasn't like one day a monkey gave birth to a human. monkeys got smarter and smarter until they didn't need certain things like fur and over millions and millions of years we are as we are now.
on a different note I've seen a crow drop a walnut right in the path of a car so it will be smashed. cars were in vented in what early 1900s
crows have evolved pretty fast don't you think?

Answer 6

There are several theories to evolution. Some are compatible with Christianity, some are not.

If you read Genesis Ch 1 in Hebrew you will notice that the verb that is used for "God created..." switches back and forth from having God as its exclusive object to being a more open ended. The verb that means "God personally did the creating" is applied at the beginning of creation and at the creation of man. The other verbs are along the lines of "called forth from" an indication that while God willed certain creation to be so, it was the process of creation (ie evolution) that actually formed that which was created.

Also you should know that certain theories of evolution have a long and strong history within Christianity. Look up the Monk Gregory Mendel and his studies on genetics. Also you should be aware that Catholics had an idea of evolution millennia before Darwin.

Let me quote at length from FUNDAMENTALS OF CATHOLIC DOGMA

1. The materialist doctrine of evolution...is contrary to Revelation.

2. The doctrine of evolution based on the theistic conception of the world, which traces matter and life to God's causality and assumes that organic being, developed from originally created seed-powers (St. Augustine) or from stem forms (doctrine of descent), according to God's plan, is compatible with the doctrine of Revelation. However, as regards to MAN, a special creation by God is demanded, which must extend at least to the spiritual soul. Individual Fathers, especially St. Augustine, accepted a certain development of living creatures. Proceeding from the assumption that God creates everything at one time (cf. Ecclus. 18.1), they taught that God brought a certain part of His creation into existence in a finished state, while He created others in the form of primitive seeds (rationes, seminales, or causales) from which they were gradually to develop. Those Fathers and Schoolmen who accepted a development, conceived a development of the individual species of living things each from a particular primitive form created by God; but modern theories of evolution (descendent theory) conceives that development as from one species to another. According as these give priority to evolution from a plurality of original forms or from one single stem-form (primitive form) one speaks of a many-stemmed (polyphyletic) or single-stemmed (monophyletic) development. From the stand point of the doctrine of evolution, either form is possible. From the standpoint of natural science, F. Birkner says "A single-stemmed monophyletic development of living beings is to be rejected as the transitions from one group to the other are missing. Everything seems to favour a many -stemmed polyphyletic development. Unfortunately, up to the present it has not been possible to determine how many primitive forms or basic organizations of living beings existed."

Answer 7

Seriously, what are you on. Believe what you want, but stories in a book...A BOOK...B-O-O-K...PAPER...don't exactly stand up much for truth and LOGIC very well itself. At least evolution is based on logic, studies, and findings by curious people who wish to know and find out this stuff. I mean, by people who have put their lives and work into trying to figure out our world, not just opening a book and listening to what someone else said and go "oh ok!" These people put time and effort into trying to learn about our world.

Too much HAS been discovered to just brush it off as a "theory" as people keep trying to do. I mean, maybe if people believe in a deity, then maybe She/He/It created evolution huh??

Answer 8

After I received a high School education it was obvious that the
Adam and Eve story was ,,,,,,well just silly, to put it kindly

no one out of middle school would buy into that as anything other than a dumb old story

Answer 9

You must think very little of God to believe that God is incapable of creating creature that can Evolve to survive in various environments.

Answer 10

Because it's the truth...Genesis is just a fiction book with no proof so ever...And if you read the bible you'll notice that evolution is encrypted in it
