anybody who is adherent of theory of evolution and knows about it better than an average person?

Question

pls tell me y do u believe in this theory?does being a believer of evolution mean that the person is athiest?

Answer 1

I believe in this theory because it is a logical reason people some people can rely on and not being a slave to religion. Plus, the theory proves itself true because there were fossils of the earliest humans. Do you want to believe the writing in the bible, I mean it is just writing, proves nothing.
A person doesnt have to be atheist in order to believe in the theory.

Answer 2

I'm sure you could find the answer to this in one of these books.

-Evolution: A Theory in Crisis, by Michael Denton
-It Couldn't Just Happen, by Lawrence O. Richards
-What Darwin Didn't Know, by Geoffrey Simmons
-Darwins Black Box, by Michael Behe
-Reason in the Balance: The Case Against Naturalism in Science, Law, and education, by Phillip E. Johnson
-Uncommon Dissent: Intellectuals Who Find Darwinism Unconvincing, by William Dembski
-The Lie: Evolution, by Ken Ham
-Refuting Evolution, by Jonathan Sarfati
-Evolution: The Fossils Say No!, by Gish
-Evolution: The Fossils Still Say No!, again by Gish but it is the revised edition.
-The Revised and Expanded Answers Book, by Ken Ham
-That Their Words May be Used Against Them, by ???
-Genetic Entropy and the Mystery of the Genome, by ???
-Refuting Compromise, by ??? (I think this one is more for Christians with religious arguments)

There are many more books on this subject, and many websites. The only problem with the internet is that a lot of the material is not scientific and has no evidence to back it up. Much of it is what you would call "Religious" (but that is not always bad. If you are religious, you want some religious reasons why it is not true). But many of these books are very good. I haven't read them all, but the best case in any I have found so far is "What Darwin Didn't Know." It doesn't really say much about evolution, and nothing about religion. It just talks about how incredibly complex the human body is. Pretty good stuff.

Answer 3

I believe in the theory of evolution and I am a very committed active Christian.

I am not a biologist but I have studied the concepts and I have read Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species" (one of the first books that proposed some of the concepts of evolution).

"The Theory of Evolution" is actually lots of theories and nearly everybody has a slightly different take on the details and scope of the process of evolution of organisms and natrual selection.

I believe in the theory because it seems to make sense, there are evidences of it all around, and I have watched natural selection taking place.

This does not mean that I accept the premise that all steps in the formation of life and the diversity of life on earth were unplanned or accidental.

Answer 4

Well? If you REALLY wanna KNOW?
We are no common DNA to Neanderthal "man." PROVEN fact in a UCLA Science publication you can find on Prrobably Yahoo, or Google.
NOW "Scientists" are saying that we didn't come from MONKEYS, that EVERYBODY knows THAT! That we came from FISH!!
Fact IS, some, or one of the whale species, were the Giants of the Old Testament, sent to live in the Ocean by God, for their abominations!
Another fact to consider in the CREATION V. EVOLUTION argument is one VERY important fact. One cup of dirt has all the minerals that a human has.
So, I ASK you WHY would anyone EVEN CONSIDER evolution as a viable theory, if all this be true?

Answer 5

I do believe that it is the best scientific theory we have that explains the diversity of life that we see. I took many science courses in college (I was a math major) and have read maybe 30 or 40 books on the subject.

There is an overwhelming amount of evidence to support it ... not just fossil evidence, but genetic evidence, molecular evidence, evidence from morphology (the structure of living things), homologous structures (structures in common between related animals, such as the inner earbones in primates that are derived from the same bone structure in the jawbones of reptiles), vestigial structures (structures that have no use in one organism, but show descent from another ... such as leg bones in whales showing descent from land animals), the distribution of species, the mutations of diseases, virology, etc. etc.

Basically, the more you learn about biology (and I *love* biology, so I read everything I can about it), the more evolution can be seen *everywhere*. Nothing in biology makes sense without evolution.

You will also find that people who reject evolution, invariably don't understand it ... and invariably don't understand biology, or science, much at all.

That's why I believe it. But that's not to say that I believe it as a matter of faith. Science always allows that *any* theory can be disproven with a single fact. People who like to say that evolution is only "theory" don't understand science ... *everything* in science is only "theory" ... scientists use that word with pride ... as a reminder that humans can *never* claim to know anything with 100% certainty. There is a humility in science that many religious people (who claim to know things with such certainty that to doubt it is a sin) have forgotten.

As for your last sentence ... absolutely NO. You do NOT have to be an athiest to believe in evolution. I am not an athiest. People who tell you that are doing you a tremendous disservice by forcing you to choose between all of science (not just evolution) and faith. You can have *both*! God gave us nature, and God gave us senses and a brain to examine that nature. It is, in my opinion, an insult to God not to use those senses and brain.

Answer 6

Modern evolutionary theory posits that species arise when mutations of the genes in an individual are passed on to its offspring; if the mutation introducesuces a survival advantage in the individual, it will tend to have greater reproductive success than its rivals; if not, it will tend to disappear. This process is known as selection.

One can believe in evolutionary theory as well as in God. The Roman Catholic Church, among others, accepts Darwinian Evolution as a fact.

Answer 7

If your Christian faith depends on a literal interpretation of the Bible and it being fully accurate, then I am afraid you are doomed and evolution is the very least of your problems.

The Bible is hopelessly inconsistent within itself, let alone against other known records and facts. The list below is a tiny subset.

Answer 8

you should read Carl Sagans books and watch cosmos.Now if you were to go out and get a cow from the wild what would it look like.Now you need to cross breed many of them until you have one that suits your needs.Ofcoase this takes alot of time.This is artificial selection.Which is the same thing only you remove the natural and decide which is going to beget which.You want bigger cows that make more milk ,bigger bulls bigger faster horses.These are the only ones that are allow to breed.It works the same way. A theroy is fact until proven wrong.

Answer 9

Theory of evolution is just that....theory!!!!

Answer 10

um.....yea i guess it makes you all......like.....adherent and stuff......and like.....all evolution like?
