do you believe in evolution?

Question

don't answer if you haven't researched it and a complete religious fanatic.

Answer 1

Yes, I do. And for proof I'm not a religious fanatic, look at the sources.

Answer 2

Do you mean if youre a religious fanatic, dont answer? Lol oh well...ill delete this post if you clarify that

"""Whatever that last bit meant.....I think it is the most probable theory to be true. I don't see why some Christians have such a hard time with the notion that God could have allowed it to happen."""

God didnt allow it to happen because the Bible says "he Created man in his image" not.. made a monkey and then let them turn into his image or whatever

"""I believe evoultion might well have been God's way of creating man. I've never believed that "6 days" meant 6 24 hour periods. I mean the "day" we know is based on the rotation of the earth. Wouldn't mean much to God I shouldn't think."""

It wasnt 6 literal days, a day to God is 1000 years. Thats somewhere in the Bible but Im a little lazy right now.


okay last one I swear Lol.

I just wanted to note that theres a difference between evolution and adaptation.

Answer 3

When I was in High School (Abraham Lincoln & I were classmates) I never worried about whether evolution was a fact or not. It was taught as a theory and not as a fact. If God wanted to use evolution to create everything that exists, He certainly has the ability to do that. So what difference does it make if evolution is a fact or not? It doesn't change the price of pizza!

As I learned more science, I came to see that the theory ( it's really a hypothesis ) of evolution is scientifically impossible. One of the facts of science is that sex between members of different species does not produce offspring. Even if it were possible for a member of one species to gradually change over millions of years due to genetic abnormalities to become a different species.
Both the male and the female of the original species would have to have had the same genetic abnormalities at the same times. The mathematical probability of that is so close to zero that you couldn't fit an electron between them.

Speaking of probability. The hard science of mathematics includes the science of permutations and probabilities. The idea that everything that exists, in all it's complexitiy and interdependency happened by accident! this is ludicrous!

There are many, many scientific facts that prove that evolution could not have happened. I'll just cite one more. Supposidly, life began when a bolt of lightening hit the ocean. Now, before there was life, there were no hydrocarbons, no proteins, and no dirt. All of these things are produced by living creatures. They can not come into existance by themselves.So, before there was any life, all there was on earth was rock and water. That's right, the only thing in the ocean was pure water. So what secular scientists (there are plenty of Ph.D. chemists, biologists, physists, etc.that know that evolution never happened) are saying, is that lightening hit pure H2O and by accident created a fully functioning living cell.

The smallest structure that has ever been alive or is possible to be alive is a cell. A cell has to have a simi-permeable membrane enclosing it. It has to have a nucleous inside the cell that also has a semi-permeable memembrane around it. Inside the nucleous there must be a string of DNA to give the cell instructions on how to function and how to reproduce. Sounds a little far fetched, doesn't it? Also, the nucleus has to have RNA in it. The nucleus has to have the ability to exactly copy the strand of DNA, have that move over to the other side of the nucleous, and at just the right time have the cell membrane and the nuclear membrane fold in on itself and produce an exact copy of the original cell. And this all had to have been brought about by a lightening bolt that hit sterile water! Right!.

I don't see how anyone can read what I wrote or knows these scientific facts for themselves can believe in evolution.

Answer 4

It is stated in the question do not answer if you have not researched!! Evolution is a disintegrating theory. The more science uncovers the complexity regarding the most basic life forms the more it shows that macro-evolution is NOT possible! That is fact. Beaks of birds adapting to there environment is micro-evolution similar to skin color adapting to the amount of sun in our environment!

To think for a second that the complexity of our DNA popped out of nothing is ridiculous. What you get from nothing is nothing!

The Bing Bang proved that we had a beginning...which proved there was a cause for this beginning that cause had to exist outside and prior to our universe! To have an effect you need a cause absolutely basic stuff! The Bang theory was the beginning of the down fall of the theory of evolution and it has been shredded ever since with not one fact supporting it!

In addition the Bible does support the beginning and how it was created. Scientists thought they could discount Mose's when he gives the account of Creation. Much to their dismay Mose's states exactly the order of how science now states the universe began (only took science 3,500 years to catch up with the Bible). To guess this correctly is like stating the wining lotto #'s correctly every week for the next 2 months!

If some one has real facts supporting evolution please fell free to contact me. I would love to see them. I am not afraid of the truth...I want answers!

Science points more and more to intelligent design, a Creator. Get your self educated in the truth and do not ignore things because they do not fit your life style! The facts are the facts!

Answer 5

Yes.

There is a very interesting book called The Beak of the Finch by Jonathan Weiner, that tells the story of a famous study of evolution in the Galapagos Islands. These scientists monitored all the finches on this island every year for over 20 years and proved how evolution works in the real world.

PS: By the way, no competent scientist, even Darwin, said that people descended from monkeys.

Answer 6

I believe things evolve over time, but I dont buy into the theory of evolution. Species come, and later die out into extinction. Man did not evolve from the apes. If we did, why are there still apes? What happened to the missing link? Why is there no solid evidence of mans evolution from apes? Too flimsy of an arguement to believe, in my opinion.

So yes, virus' mutate, and man has changed over time. Skin color adapted depending on the climate, so we have different races, etc. But thats about it. Thats the extent to which I believe in evolution. Maybe ur family came from chimps, but mine didn't.

Answer 7

What is it? Is that the crazy theory that the every species of today was once only one of the species of today???

I think that's the theory that some floating sludge turned into a turkey and then the turkey laid an egg and out popped Charles Darwin or something.

That's about as crazy as believing a monkey might fly out of my a-ss.

Answer 8

I believe evoultion might well have been God's way of creating man. I've never believed that "6 days" meant 6 24 hour periods. I mean the "day" we know is based on the rotation of the earth. Wouldn't mean much to God I shouldn't think.

Answer 9

I kinda like the Intelligent Design theory. As I understand it a sort of guided evolution.

Answer 10

Whatever that last bit meant.....I think it is the most probable theory to be true. I don't see why some Christians have such a hard time with the notion that God could have allowed it to happen.
