Why are fundamentalist Christians so hellbent on finding holes in evolution, instead of trying to...?

Question

...prove the validity of their creation theories. Anyone will tell you that evolution is an incomplete theory, but that does not disprove its validity. Why don't fundies work on trying to prove their theory, as that would seem to make more logical sense.

rukidding: Gravity is also an incomplete theory. Get my drift?

Answer 1

Christians realize that Evolution could be and is probably real and disproves much of their belief. So instead of Christians actually trying to find out the truth, they have always and will continue to try to bash and dirty anything and everything that remotely goes against their beliefs.

Christians aren't looking for the truth, they only want to know things that affirm their belief. They don't like to question "their belief", the bible or any of its vague wording, which is nothing more than zombie-like. A person who doesn't question their belief is very scary to me.

I'm sure some Christians still think Earth is the center of the universe and the universe revolves around the Earth like all Christians once thought ... BECAUSE IT WAS IN THE BIBLE, after all. Hmmmm, dare I say that I think most Christians' views have evolved since then on that one.

I wish one day that Christians can begin to accept the truth in their life.

Answer 2

I am a Christian, and I have no idea why Christians waste their time arguing a theory. Christ challenges the hypothesis that there is not enough food for everyone, and the conclusion that someone must die. Survival of the Fittest, is an attitude, as well as a moral judgement. That judgement, is the origen of many religions, mostly pagan. It's also the cornerstone of materialism, which is the father of Socialism, and Communism. The long history of real world violence, should tell you that this is not an idle debate. This arguement between creationists, and fundies is disinformation, and provoked by real world special interests. It distracts from the real issue; would you feed someone, who has no material value?

Answer 3

Curious....if evolution is an incomplete theory how come it doesn't disprove its validity? (or is this a stupid question?)

For your question...They don't need any more proof than the bible and since they have it, they don't have to look any farther. They expect people to also take that as the only necessary proof.

Answer 4

Because they rely on God's word, and not in manmade fables. God's word has been proven to be true, and Darwin's theory has not. How do you explain that thousands of people have put their trust in God over the years, and have even been tortured or killed for their faith in his son: Jesus Christ? They didn't resist. Why would they die for nothing? Do you know of anyone who was ever martyred for his belief in Charles Darwin? Christians care enough about other people to lead them to the truth. Because believing a lie like evolution, will only lead them to an eternal hell. We are all by nature born separated from God. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ, that we can ever hope to escape eternal damnation. But you can go your own way, and believe whatever you want. That's your choice. The main reason why people refuse to accept creationism, is because they refuse to believe the truth.They don't want to be responsible for their own actions. But one day, we will all stand before God, and give an acount of our lives. If you're not worried about that, you should be. Think about that for a minute. If you don't believe God created the world, then you probably don't believe that hell exists either. Are you willing to believe that? If you are right, then you have nothing to worry about. But if you're wrong.............You get the picture. God didn't send his son into this world to condemn anyone, but to save them. So go ahead--believe what you will. Just remember that God loves you. Meditrate on that for a while.

Answer 5

We have God's inspired written word. Faith is the expectation of things not yet beheld. You or anyone else cannot show me or anyone else any fossils showing a change from one kind of creature into another kind of creature. Plenty of fossils but NO LINKS. Proves creation to me not evolution. Seems that if you can find fossils throughout all the eras you could find at least ONE LINK wouldn't you think, Evolution shmevolution its all garbage.

Answer 6

I am a fundie. The part of evolution I have a problem with is that their was no divine spark. That man and animal are the same. That no intelligence was behind this wonderful world.

Now if you allow for an intelligent being that STARTED it all, then the changes and adaptations are fine with me. I just have trouble believing it just started. Make sense?

Answer 7

Inasmuch as the evolution theory is systematically self destructing, there is no need to prove or disprove anything. All new discoveries continue to discount it as valid.. unless it is applied to only selective species.

Answer 8

Christians and logical sense are not to be put in the same sentence. They try to pick at the holes in evolution, saying there are missing links, when their theory has no evidence to link. They have had thousands of years to find one piece of proof, and have not, while evolution has a ton of proof and found it in a few centuries.

Answer 9

Creationism is not science. Scientific theories must follow the scientific method, first asking a hypothesis, finding evidence to support that hypothesis and when enough has been found, promoting that hypothesis to theory. Creationists work backwards, they think they have it absolutely right from the get go, then find evidence to back them up.

Bad science creationists...

Answer 10

Good question. Why are they trying to find holes in evolution instead of patching the many holes in their own theory?
