Do You Believe That God Created Man And Earth Or Do You Believe In the Evolution Theory? And Why?

Question

Also if We Evolved from Apes or Monkeys? Then why are there still Monkeys and Apes on Earth?

Answer 1

i believe god created man and earth.

Answer 2

A Little of both.

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

I believe that God created Man and Earth, because it is impossible to believe, even for a moment, that mankind was related to apes in some way. Animals and Humans are two separate species. Animals run on instinct, and Humans run on their brains. Remember Decartes theory: I think therefore I am?
Do you THINK that any animal, that runs on instinct, would make that type of assessment about himself? Nor for that matter, would any animal sit back and wonder about why they are here. Again, only a Human characteristic.
Besides, Evolution means that an organism undergoes some sort of slow and years long metamorphesis, and changes into something else. But what evolutionists don't facter into the equation, is that if a monkey underwent that type of change, you still have a monkey, albeit a changed one---not a human.
That ape or monkey cannot change its species.
If that were the case, why are apes and monkeys still on earth with humans? If they have evolved into humans, wouldn't they now have died out?
Evolutionists can keep on theorizing that they used to be apes if they want to, at least it would explain their monkeyshines.

Answer 4

Science is truth; God is the author of truth: God is truth. Anyone who actually believes that "God is truth" realizes that Genesis is fairy tales made up by ignorant men.

The earth does not have four corners, either, and the sun does not revolve around the earth -- those fantasies are in the bible too.

Excerpts from http://library.thinkquest.org/2838/galil...
< Galileo was one of the first people to say that the earth revolved around sun, not the sun around the earth as was common belief in medieval Europes. Because his views conflicted with the position held by the Catholic Church, Galileo was ordered to stop teaching his view of the universe. When Urban VIII became pope, Galileo obtained permission to set down his ideas in print if he would also fairly account the evidence that suggested the earth was the center of the solar system. The book that Galileo wrote outlined the religious position but methodically proved the with science and mathematics that the religious view was an ignorant view. Galileo was arrested for his statements about the solar system, charged with heresy. The church made him make a public statement that the earth stands still and the sun revolves around the earth not the other way around. It is said that after he made the ordered statement the scientist was heard muttering that "nevertheless it moves." Galileo was sentenced to life imprisonment for arguing that the sun was the center of the solar system. >

Answer 5

the bible is a set of stories and fables written 2000 years ago.

Evolution is scientificially proven over and over agin in many different fields.

As to why there are still "monkeys"? - the favorite call of the anti-evolutionaries - in a nutshell - As a population expands, along with other factors of climate changes, some of the population is now in an area it isn't adapted to. The members of the population that are better adapted, for instance -maybe having longer legs, will be more likely to surve and produce offspring that have longer legs and that group continues to evolve and chage over time to fit their environment. However the core group that is still in the original environment doesn't have the pressure to change so won't. That's why there are still monkeys.

Answer 6

Yes I believe that God created the heavens amd the earth and that He created man.. I have beeen raised to believe in that by my mother and as a adult I have studied for myself and gone to many different minister and pastors and sought advice. I beleive that the Bible is God breathed. It has been and still is used as aroad map for every archeological dig. How can a person believe in both, you either believe in God or the Evolution theory. Besides Darwin tried to undo the theory on his death bed.but people did not want to listen. He found God before he died, I do believe. So if the man who stated the theory recanted the theory how believable can it be?

Answer 7

Evolution explains evolution (change) not creation or origin. So if you believe in the evolution theory of man you still need to explain the origin of man. Is it really dirt? seems unlikely, yet this is what the bible says. Did we really evolve from apes? seems unlikely, yet this is what Darwin would have you believe. Maybe Erick Von Danicken is right, we come form space. Seems unlikely, yet who knows?

Answer 8

Big bang and evolution, because that's what all the evidence suggests. We witness evolution before our very eyes.

- There are countless documented cases of observed speciation in both nature and lab experiments.

- The mechanisms that lead to evolution are well understood and have been directly observed at the DNA level

- The underlying engineering principles of positive feedback loops in nonlinear systems is well understood and always results in rapid evolution toward semi-stable states. (that's exactly what natural evolution is, a positive feedback loop in a nonlinear system)

- We observe huge numbers of extinct species and can date them to living long long ago using independent techniques

Creationists like to quibble about 'macro' vs 'micro' evolution as if there were some fundamental distinction between the two. Macro-evolution is simply the accumulation of micro-changes. Their argument amounts to saying "I agree that 1+1 = 2, but you can never reach 100 with successive addition because 1+1 doesn't equal 100".

Answer 9

I believe in both--something or Someone had to guide our progress, and I refuse to believe that the entire universe was created in 7 Earth days. God's days are probably much longer than ours. We were probably not the first version of mankind that he created. I do not know of any type of artist who is satisfied with his first draft. That could also explain the other forms of man, both the ones that died out and the ones we are descendants of. And who knows, we may not be the final draft yet--God may still be tinkering around to get it the way He wants it.

Answer 10

I do not believe any of the major religions or really any religion I have heard of but I believe there is a God and it (I am not so arrogant as to assume human traits in God) used evolution as the tool to create present day life

Answer 11

I believe in the evolution theory because I don't know, it just makes more sense to me considering all the relationship between organisms today and fossils and stuff from thousands of years ago. I think if I was to believe in Creationism, I'd have to discredit many things, lots of things actually. So many things that I'd be doubting it again. It's kind of a paradox.
