can any of you theists adequately explain evolution?

Question

it makes a lot more sense than some spaghetti monster in the sky creating life.

YES I CAN EXPLAIN EVOLUTION YOU ********. jesus.

Answer 1

No-one who knows about evolution could possibly have enough faith to disbelieve it.

Answer 2

1. 'Evolution' is by nature required to explain cosmology and abiogenesis as well.
2. It means that we come from monkeys, and the big question is why monkeys aren't still spontaneously becoming people.
3. It requires there to be no God, which is why it is evil.
4. 'Macro' and 'micro' evolution are really really different things and aren't just terms invented by creationist apologetics.
5. It was 'created' by Darwin. Who later recanted and became a Christian.
6. Evolution is entirely responsible for eugenics and Nazism.
7. It can't adequately explain the shape of a banana.
8. It is statistically as likely as a blizzard creating a 747 (or something like that).
9. It is much more ludicrous to contemplate than the 'alternative notion' that a big guy in the sky made one man out of clay and one woman out of that man's rib.
10. It is a 'theory', which in layman's terms means 'as credible as a drunken man's scrawls on a bar napkin'.
11. It is really really silly.
12. Monkeys are icky.
13. My pastor says that everyone who believes in evolution is going to hell.
14. Evolution killed Jesus.

Answer 3

Of course they can. But they choose not to. Why?

Because it would mean that thousands of years of chanting and kneeling and praying and collecting lots of money and war and crusades and religious genocides and bigotry and sexism and homophobia and murder were all for nothing.

Evolution, despite what idiotic miscreant religious fanatics might say, is actually PROVEN SCIENTIFIC FACT. Micro evolution in terms of mutation of flu viruses is a clear 100% hands down indisputible confirmation of evolution. The human body resists the virus so the virus EVOLVES to allow itself to survive. That is all evolution is.

How old do the theists here think the planet is? hundreds of thousands, millions? Try billions of years old. Evolution has had its time to create all the animals we see today. New ones are cropping up all the time. In areas such as the amazon and the galapagos islands, where man's destructive hand has not reached, animals continue to evolve to maintain their population.

So there.

Answer 4

I rather like Flying Spaghetti Monsterism.......It's funny as hell:
Anywho--I know quite a few Theists, of many different religions, all able to explain evolution quite well, most having nothing against it--Just as I also know many an Atheist who explains "ID" just as well.

Answer 5

"Icarus62" has nailed it. But, in defense of some religious scientists I know, let me say that there are a bunch of religious intellectuals (yes, including biologists & paleontologists), who have no problem with evolution. In fact, at least one of the parties in question is a major contributor to evolutionary research.

There seem to be 2 groups of theists, each one with a different God. One group follows whom I call Bubba-God. He's the guy whose behavior generally follows rules any old Joe can understand. You go to the Bubba manual and "everything" is there, in black & white - 7 days for universe and everything in it, a flood to zap the sinners, a tower of Babel to explain cultures, a rib for what's-her-name, and on and on. Pretty much everything is covered and you don't have to bother your head with silly logical details. And obviously science is out of the question as an explanation for anything except maybe guitar amps.

The other group believes in Big God. They understand scripture to be the product of people, who while godly, didn't have a clue about anything scientific outside of camel-breeding and such. They think of their God as a majestic being whose purposes and plans are largely beyond paltry human discernment. They also belive God has given them the ability to figure out a very small part of how He put things together. So in that way they can keep a healthy respect for both science AND God.

Answer 6

Evolution isn't genuine. each protein has a minimum of 10000 amino-acids. the opportunity of them forming a protein by using themselves is a million in a million*2*3*4*5*....*10000(better than the kind of atoms interior the universe). Evolutionist seem at proteins as 'undemanding' platforms, yet they're very, very complicated. If an amino acid is put in the incorrect order you've mutation and the proteins aren't to any extent further valid. So, the bacterial flagellum is made from countless proteins. all of them favor to be proper in order to operate. it is not plausible for them to form by coincidence and organic determination. Darwin regarded at existence through spontaneous introduction. He believed that worms form from water. He did not comprehend the chemical structure of proteins, DNA, lipids. the idea seems good on the first web site, yet once you seem on the complexity of the platforms then you honestly understand there's a huge challenge. Ken Miller is a very charismatic man or woman, yet he seems at proteins like bricks, unlike complicated organic and organic textile. Proteins do not form by using spontaneous introduction, they're formed by using 1000's of amino-acids, each amino-acid encoded by using a three digit DNA base. The issues aren't to any extent further undemanding as they're provided.

Answer 7

"In the beginning, God created......", that's how it started. Animals changed with evolution, as the climate changed or their habitats changed. The first humans were black, and as they moved to colder climates, their skin, hair and eyes lightened, as they didn't need as much pigmentation to protect them from the sun. Humans get a bit taller with every generation. Everything evolves, with maybe the exception of crocodiles/aligators, which haven't changed much over time, except for size.

Answer 8

There is no such thing as evolution.
Can you adequately explain why you choose to deceive yourself into believing in a theory that has only false evidence as its basis.

Answer 9

I'll explain evolution to you right before your naptime.
That's when daddy reads you all of those silly stories.

Answer 10

Yes. Can any of you atheists adequately explain creation?
