For hardcore Christians, do any of you believe in Darwin's evolution theory?

Question

If not, defend your answer.

Answer 1

For the sake of our species, I hope that no one is that dumb. Please, please, please don't post stupid religious rants. I can't take any more blind ignorance.

Answer 2

I believe that there is micro-evolution. Changes that happen such as height, skin color, etc...

But that doesn't negate the idea of Creation.

I don't believe in the full stance of Evolution that we evolved from single cells. There are too many flaws in Evolution. The idea that chaos evolved into a more ordered state is contrary to one of the most basic laws of science, that more ordered things are in a constant state of decay and falling more and more into chaos, not the other way around.

I have seen and read many articles by Christians and non-Christians like (I love science and taught it for awhile in school) and while there is some evidence to say that yes there is common DNA among chimps and people, there is no solid way to test the Hypothesis that those similarities are a result of evolution from a common ancestor.

The thing is, that if you look hard enough there is evidence for anything that you want to believe. There is evidence for Creation, there is evidence for Evolution. But, the evidence is not in itself proof. Evidence must been seen in the proper context. Without the context the evidence can mean several different things.

And in the case of evolution, it is impossible for us to see the evidence in context, since the hypothesis is that evolution occured over a period of millions of years. There is no practical way to experiment and record data for that long of a time period or that can reasonable simulate that time period.

That's just some food for thought...

Answer 3

No.
Scientist tell us that almost no micro-biologist believes that a species can gain genetic information. So they can not evolve upwards. They say we can have minor changes within a species like birds growing longer beaks. but no Macro-evolution. Which is what you are talking about.
Other scientist tell us that the big bang could not have happened because of some laws that are now operation. I don't know all this stuff. I have to rely on scientist in this area.
Geologist tell us there was a world wide flood like the Bible says.
Scientist tell us that they debate creation and evolution all the time-that tells me that they really don't know what happened. The Bible says that God created the heavens and the earth. I believe what God said over a bunch of people fighting all the time. That's why I don't believe in Darwinian evolution.

Answer 4

Yes. Although I am a Christian, and a committed one, I believe there is overwhelming evidence that life has grown more complex because it adapts, through natural means of selection.

It may seem a bit of a paradox to believe that the world is very much what God intended for it to be, and yet is still nonetheless a fairly random outcome of meandering natural processes.

But I don't think it is an impossible paradox - look at the highly ordered world of molecular physics, and the necessarily random realm of quantum mechanics that lies just beneath it. The universe itself is a paradoxical reality, where highly ordered physical objects lay stretched on superstring sheets of chaos.

So it isn't hard for me to believe in the Deus Ex Machina, even when God so clearly throws the dice a lot of the time.

One thing he did not throw the dice with was Christ. Christ is such a compelling figure, and he is what keeps me Christian - the light in the chaos.

Answer 5

Yes I am hardcore Christian.
I would take evolution more seriously if I seen a group of apes talking to each other using their own voices, not grunts and howls.
The first day of creation could have lasted 5 billion years.

Answer 6

I doubt I'm hardcore, but there are aspects of Darwinian evolution that I think are very true and other aspects I find highly suspect.

Answer 7

Both theories can exist. God (or Moses who wrote the first 5 books of the Bible) never said HOW he did it.
Darwin didn't necessarily counter the Bible. I don't know why it is even a fuss.

Answer 8

im not hardcore, but i am christian and i do belive in evolution

Answer 9

No
answer: Get saved and read the Bible.

Answer 10

I agree with picard.
