Christians, why do you question evolution but wont even think about questioning talking animals in the bible?

Question

You dont think about questioning this

angels blowing trumpets in the sky
talking donkeys
sticks turning into snakes
wizzards
Jesus getting beat just so you can get to heaven after murdering

But you have the nerve to question evolution?

Answer 1

honestly i don't question evolution. it is nonsense in the highest degree. you obviously (as a believer in evolution) think that the established laws of physics are nonsense. how unscientific can you get?

"with God all things are possible" even talking donkeys.

Answer 2

Not all Christians refute evolution. Not all Christians take the stance that every word in the Bible is inspired. I am a Christian. I question a great deal about the Bible and feel justified in doing so: an infinite God that cannot stand up to my pea-sized brain is not much of a God. However, in my quest to remain as open-minded as possible, I have encountered many on people on BOTH sides of the argument who are quite close-minded. Those who are emphatic about their atheism, brush over the question of: "but where did the stuff in the big-bang come from?" The problem with evolution divorced from any sort of divine intervention is that at some point you come to a place without causality; ie, something just appeared or existed. Evolution can explain how things evolved from a big bang, but has nothing to say on where the chemicals, gasses...whatever that caused the big bang came from. I think since no one was around with a video camera when the thing went down, at some point, you have to rely on faith. IN my experience, the difference between the religious man and the atheist? The religious man admits his leap of faith, the atheist does not.

Answer 3

Most people don't believe it because they've never taken the time to actually learn the theory which has a ridiculously large amount of supporting evidence. For example, I bet not many people opposing it know that not ONE place in the theory of evolution does it state humans evolved from monkeys. At one point in time we had a common ancestor (of which we have many fossils) but one species had certain needs and adapted through natural selection into apes etc where as another group naturally selected into something different that over millions of years turned into what we consider early humans.

But many religions purposely teach their practitioners to be bigots so they have a larger following that is afraid to question the leader because of a fear of a "hell" of some sort.

Answer 4

I question everything I hear or read.

The thing is...after I'm finished questioning, I usually come up with answers.

So yeah I thoroughly question Christian beliefs...havent found any problems yet.

I used to think that evolution was possible but now I see that its only micro-evolution (or adaptation) not macro-evolution. If it really did happen there would be fossil evidence of the missing links between completely different animals.

Answer 5

with regard to the controversy taking place approximately smart layout and evolution: is it available that the perfect answer approximately which of those 2 probably opposite techniques is right ought to easily be sure? With one place firmly held via the believers and the different basically as fearlessly defended via the non-believers, in case you be able someplace close to the middle, it does not seem all that complicated. From this place, you ask your self why the two-or must be the respond. in case you have self assurance that some larger being created the universe via smart layout, what greater stylish and smart layout ought to there have been than a self-regulating gadget that continuously tests its very own errors and makes its very own corrections in mid-circulate as an essential component of the approach. This all looks rather logical to me notwithstanding it probable gained’t fulfill the believers via fact they're afraid to make certain any reality different than the only they have been instructed to have self assurance in. Inversely it actually gained’t fulfill the non-believers via fact it leaves them caught with a god that they are so for sure afraid of. To sum up this view from the middle, it must be maximum basically be defined via saying possibly the dressmaker became into smart. concern is, the dressmaker became into possibly so smart that those seeking to teach that that's intelligently designed would be incapable of ever comprehend it nicely adequate to make certain it for the stylish self regulating layout that it has continuously been. The nonbelievers would be in addition handicapped via indoors terror the have concerning to the thought that there is a God. Neither area being waiting to go away their entrenched place for concern they'd could admit they have been incorrect. on an identical time as something human beings stand via attempting to make certain what all the fuss is approximately. in my opinion I don’t think of all people is erroneous, I basically sense the two sides are some million/2 precise.

Answer 6

I question it because it has not been proven that species have evolved into a totally new species. i believe in micro evolution was a species will change slightly but remain in the same species. the whole species to a new bread is only a theory

Answer 7

We never question evolution. We explain them that it is proven not right.

The rest of it can be answer next time since it is not your major question.

Answer 8

Oh, you forgot 800 year old men and burning bushes.

Last I knew, if your bush is burning, it's time to see the doctor!!

Answer 9

Yeah, i do....no flying angels ever wrapped themselves in the mantle of "science"

I question any THEORY that CANNOT BE PROVEN- it's "scientific"

pretty "nervy"

Answer 10
