Its like asking, if we believe in Science OR Philosophy/mythology.
One is a proven fact, other is a proven source of faith.
If you need reasons/facts - believe in Science.
if you need peace of mind or blind faith - believe in God.

thats why i personally feel that believing in God is like Meditation and believing in Science is 'getting ur questions answered'

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.

There is an option you forget, “or both.”

God reveals and man observes. Darwin's theory is a scientific theory that explains facts. The scientific method works as a set of rules that takes facts to theories, which in the future may change. The word science mean knowledge and it does not require belief.

God as defined in religion text requires belief. Scientific method for proving or disproving requires observation(s) by any men (note the plural) and is reproducible any where. No one has made a verification observation even though in the bible men have seen God. Please don't confuse scientists claim that God exist because of the way the universe works, this intelligent design (creationism) is a leap of faith on the scientist part. In other words, there are things we just don't know by observing.

For me, the Christian bible is God's word (what we know of God is in there), God’s word as spoken by the prophets. It tell us that God is spirit, he/she/it (the gender of God, if God has a gender, is not revealed) existed before (I am that I am) and is responsible for everything that we can observe. There is no proof of God, it is assumed. You either believe it or you don't.

So in answer to your question, I believe God and I accept the current theory proposed by Darwin that explains the facts.

Definitely Darwin. His theories are thorough and have evidence to back up most of the claims. Where as god is based on hear say and a book written by people in a time, where they needed something to believe in!

God. On Darwin's deathbed he admitted to believing in God, which after living a life of unbelief he had nothing to gain by claiming it at his death.


Also people who say evolution is a fact are quite wrong. It is a theory. There is know proof that anything greater than microevolution has ever occured.

Microevoltion (minor genetic changes through mutations) = proven and true.

Cosmicevolution, chemicalevolution, stelar and planetary evolution, organic evolution, and macroevolution = are just %100 theory.

I believe in evolution, but I'm sure that some details regarding it may still need a little bit of revision. While I'm pointlessly ranting, I'd like to point out that because creationism has yet to be justified by a single experiment and it involves supernatural powers, I do not believe creationism is science at all. Besides, geologists have found rocks believed to be millions of years old.

(One answer written a little after mine claims the world is 2000 years old. That's completely false. Mesopotamian civilization existed long before 2000 years ago.)

The study referenced contained in the article replaced into searching on the cosmic historic past radiation - the radiation from the large Bang. although if this "data" for different universes seems to be no longer something of the form, contained in the numerous-worlds variety of quantum mechanics you're able to have different universes each and every with its own huge Bang. As for gods, the life of many universes ought to pull the rug out from less than between the numerous arguments for the life of an sensible author - the obtrusive nice-tuning of the universe. If there are a range of of universes, possibly an unlimited selection, in which diverse generic constants and beginning circumstances are allowed, then the life of a universe that produces sensible existence by a purely undirected procedure will change into inevitable; no matter if that is conceivable, no remember how unlikely, it is going to take position.

I find no contradiction between believing in God or Darwin's ideas.
Simply, I stand that God used evolution of organisms to come up with Man.

Evolution is not true- if we were evolutionised by monkeys or apes, won't the monkeys at the zoo do the same thing? Moreover, the earth is proven to be only around 2000 years old and not millions!

God's word wins Darwin's theory hands down!

God Bless you! =)

I don't see why you can't believe both. Darwin did. Quite frankly evolution is a fact, no matter how much Christians try to deny it, where as the bible isn't a fact. The way I see it is that life and the structured form of evolution and exticntion IS proof of some manner of God, otherwise know as inteligent design.

If God created man in his own image.
Then ask yourself was God's image in the form of a mokey before it became image of man

Genesis 1:25
25) And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and god saw that it was good.

Now monkey's or apes are beast. Do not get me wrong, man of today carries a beast-like nature, but no, Darwin and his theory is FALSE.
God is the answer to all things. I pray for you. Amen
