Christians, which is more believable? Evolution or talking animals(which is in the bible)?

Answer 1

There's no talking animals.

Answer 2

Concerning the debate going on about intelligent design and evolution: is it possible that the final answer about which of these two seemingly opposite ideas is correct could simply be yes?

With one position firmly held by the believers and the other just as fearlessly defended by the non-believers, if you happen to be in a position somewhere near the middle, it does not look all that complex. From this position, you wonder why either-or has to be the answer.

If you believe that some higher being created the universe by intelligent design, what more elegant and intelligent design could there have been than a self-regulating system that continually checks its own errors and makes its own corrections in mid-stream as an integral part of the process.

This all seems quite logical to me although it probably won’t satisfy the believers because they are afraid to see any truth other than the one they have been told to believe in. Inversely it certainly won’t satisfy the non-believers because it leaves them stuck with a god that they are so obviously terrified of.

To sum up this view from the center, it might be most easily be explained by saying perhaps the designer was intelligent. Problem is, the designer was likely so intelligent that those seeking to prove that it is intelligently designed may be incapable of ever understand it well enough to see it for the elegant self regulating design that it has always been.

The nonbelievers will be similarly handicapped due to the internal terror the have about the idea that there may be a God. Neither side being able to leave their entrenched position for fear they may have to admit they were wrong. While the rest of us stand by trying to figure out what all the fuss is about. Personally I don’t think anyone is wrong, I just feel both sides are about half right.

Answer 3

Scientifically speaking, evolution. Could God make an animal talk if he really wanted to? I think so. More likely, I think Saul just had a vision. After all, the people around him didn't hear the donkey talk. As for the whole serpent business, I think that comes from early creation stories. As in the parables, it's the overall message that's important, not the story.

Answer 4

Animals talking! - Hands down! God can make animals talk - but no matter how hard you try you cant get an animal out of a rock! & You cant get nothing to explode - & all this appear - & You can't expect me to believe in evolution! It has never been proven- it is only a religion! NOT science! God created me - I didn't come from a rock! I have intellenge given to me by an intelligent Designer!

Answer 5

From a scientific standpoint, talking animals is more believable than MACRO-evolution (ie parrots, etc).
MICRO-evolution is supported by science and the Bible.
MACRO-evolution is rejected by science and by the Bible.

Hope this helps.
Also, you know that things happen which are out of the ordinary otherwise you wouldn't bother with the question.

Answer 6

tremendous question you get a megastar. does no longer an all seeing, all understanding, all sensible, and ever modern Deity have the capacity to encourage a holy writ that wasn't so basically incorrect, as you deftly noted. Even many historic pagan cultures found out extra of the quite technological understanding. operating example, an historic Greek by using the call of Anaximander, theorized evolution. The Celts, and Mayans were cracker-jack astronomers. go away the myths to the resourceful writing courses.

Answer 7

I'm not a christian, but I do believe in that, in a sense, animals can talk. I believe evolution to a point, but I also believe in creation.

Answer 8

Talking animals is far more believeable than evolution.

Answer 9

i dont see why you cant have a god and still have evolution, and im not talking about the psuedoscience of intelligent design. evelution only will make sense when you look at it in a realistic scale. eveyone agrees a monkey cant give birth to a human. when you look at the dog you can see some form of evolution. im not talking about a few thousand years. evolution has been happening for billions of years. what would the typical dog look like a million years from now? what about a billion?

Answer 10

The talking animals.

If you were in a garden for a million years and you could spend 200 years trying to communicate with a donkey that was also there for a million years, don't you think you could find something to communicate about? What about if your brain was so fully developed that on a level we can't possibly imagine today telepathically you could communicate to a cow? Yeah your right, it's easier to believe we are made from slop. Idiot.

Answer 11

I'd sooner believe that a donkey talked than believe that all of the complex forms of life on earth evolved from the same primordial slime.

I do not, however, reject micro-evolution, which can be proven.
