Is the theory of evolution proof of God's intelligent design?

Answer 1

How can something that is unproven itself be proof of something else? On the other hand, the two theories could be compatible.

Answer 2

These are two completely different theories. Evolution is backed by scientific evidence - testing, theory, and the ability of other scientists to reproduce the same results. Intelligent Design is a theory of a single creator. Interestingly enough, proponents of Intelligent Design wish to strip away the thoughts that God is the creator; yet, in the long run they wish to reintroduce God and the Bible as the way of backing-up their theories. It appears to be a way to bring Science into the mix while still having faith. Take a look at the source. It gives a great background on the theory.

Answer 3

Evolution is observable. And it makes some really stupid mistakes. (Why do male mammals still have nipples? Why do you have an appendix?). Intelligent Design theory implies an all-powerful Creator who designed things exactly as they are. It was invented by people without the wits or imagination to think about some deeply complex (but solvable) mysteries, so the "blame" everything on a god of their own invention. Is trichonosis evidence of Intelligent Design? How about T.B. or cancer? Inventions designed by a benevolent god? If ID is fact, then the Designer by definition is somewhat morally corrupt.

I could be wrong (In which case I will apologize to Eric the Goat, All Praise Be Unto Him!), but I don't think so!

Answer 4

Not necessarily--the theory of evolution just states that creatures changed gradually from common ancestors into what we have today. It doesn't go on to state what caused the change. That's why there's such a debate about Intelligent Design. They want schools to go the one extra step and say that the reason they changed was because God made the change, even though the Constitution requires the separation of church and state.

Answer 5

If you really think than you came from a monkey,tell me why a human body DO NOT accept a blood transfusion from a monkey?
Or can you tell me: why evolutionist cannot explain the evolution of the eye?
Ok ;an easy one:when you go to the zoo,and you see a gorilla,do you say:Hi Grandpa!???.
You don't know this,but the Bible says GOD created us on His own image,not on a monkey image,second the Bible says than GOD talked to Adam and Eve,and even gave em commands(take care of the Eden,give a name to every animal on earth,etc)GOD talked to them not just made sounds like a monkey:ugh uuh aah aah.

Answer 6

No.

Intelligent design is an absurd notion dreamt up by remarkably stupid people. It stands up to not one seconds worth of proper scientific analysis.

I could equally say that my scientific theory was that the universe was created by a cosmic goat called Eric who created the laws of nature (whatever they may be found to be) that led to evolution that led to mankind.

You can no more use the idea of Intelligent Deisng to prove the existence of God than I can to prove the existence of Eric. You should now try the scientific and theological argument to try to disprove the existence of Eric.

You cannot resort to the Bible - its an ancient text of dubious origin many times translated. And anyway, its description of creation runs to barely more words than mine using Eric the Goat.

All praise Eric the Goat.

Answer 7

Evolution is a theory, God created Adam from the dust of the ground and Eve from one of the bones from Adam's side.

Answer 8

Your question makes me laugh. I've used a similar explanation in arguments with hard core creationists. They tell us that god is all powerful and created the world from nothing in 7 days. Yet, he was not powerfull enough to put in place a system that would result in man, and the numerous other critters that have ever been, millions of years later. Who are we to understand god's perception of a day?

Answer 9

Yes, indirectly. Evolution is a doctrine created by Satan and given to Darwin via his counselor (one of the classes of fallen angels). It is designed to undermine the Christian belief in God and creation. So if you understand that Satan (father of lies) tells you God didn't create us as humans, then you can believe the opposite, which is that God did create us as humans.

Answer 10

Now wouldn't that just blow the doors off the Christian-Right's ideas!!

The problem is that ID accepts the idea that the world is only a few thousand years old rather than millions. It suggests that fosils were "planted" by God or even Scientists just to throw "true believers" off.
They're wacko...really.
