How can you believe in evolution and God?

Question

Would you be an Atheist Agnostic, Christian?
If you just can’t get passed the reality of evolution then how does God fit in your plan?

Answer 1

They justify it to make sense with their existing beliefs rather than try and make sense of it as a seperate entity of itself. People search for answers that suit their point of view. Both sides.

They don't seem to agree with Sherlock Holmes, "whenever all other possibilities have been ruled out, the improbable, however unlikely, must be the truth"


God is impossible, evolution is improbably. Go with the 2nd.

Answer 2

You state evolution as a reality? It is more of a fairy tale than God is! Evolution is based on guess work and hypothesis that have been worked on well over 150 years. The only thing that has happened since is that every time there is a new discovery they need to adjust the time line or explain why it supports the Bible and disproves their previous theory. They do this by adding time to the age of the earth they started at 70,000 years old and after several changes are at 4.6 billion years!

Now if you are referring to Micro evolution that is a fact. Variations with in a specie. Macro evolution however is a fairy tale with zero evidence and this has been taught to children for a over 75 years. Then when they discover that their "scientists" lied to them regarding gills on fetus, or teeth that were stated as being the missing link that actually were a pig then the have to back track fire people and redo the text books sometime in the next 50 years!! They still have the gills on a fetus, the bologna horse evolution chart and things that have been shown to be wrong still in text books!

So to answer your question you can not beleive in evolution and beleive in God. It goes against his word of how things were created. But you do not have to worry about that because evolution is a fairy tale.

Answer 3

Yes, Evolution is called a theory of the testable, repeatable observable world. It's as close to a fact as science gets. Observation of the fossil records on all continents are consistent and overwhelming. Therefor it is logically the truth.

There is no evidence that the Bible is divinely inspired - you need faith for that, which ignores science, fact, theory, ie the testable, repeatable observable world.

Creation is an idea for those in the dark ages or ealier. If the Human race is going to get over fear, war, false teachings and false hope, then the human race needs to embrace education, knowledge, science and the truth.

Combining Evolution and God is a step in the right direction - it is recognizing the truth of Evolution and a step toward ridding humanity of the fears associated with monsters, witches, goblins, demons, angels and gods.

Not sure, start observing the world and rid yourself of your fear.

The mid east is full of religion and fear - look what that turns into.

Answer 4

We keep running into each other!

I always thought that evolution and religion addressed two different issues. The theory of evolution seeks to describe a process, how life formed and developed. It's not incompatible with religion. For those that believe in God, it could be that evolution is God's way of working.

Evolution describes how the watch works. It does not answer how the watch was made or who, if anyone, winds it up.

Answer 5

There is no inconsistency between a belief in evolution and a belief in God. Certainly, God could have created evolution. What's the problem with believing in both? Belief in God did not disappear just because humans learned about outer space and that Heaven was not literally above their heads. Belief in God will survive science, so long as science can never prove God does not exist.

Answer 6

I say if you don't buy Creation and the Bible as its written, then you're already agnostic. Most that believe in evolution and God get around it by saying we were created to evolve, it was God's plan all along. This is more belief of a "higher power" God than the biblical God.

Answer 7

I am a Christian who believes that evolution is very possible. But I believe that God created all things. Although I don't believe this happened by Chance, I believe that God started with a simple concept and then expanded on those creations over the course of time. Are we descended from Apes? I doubt it, but I do believe that God in his wisdom could have created life that was very similar to our own and that all species have a possibility of further evolution.

There is a verse in the Bible that says a day is like a thousand years with the Lord. My daddy who was a hellfire and brimstone preacher beleived that God's evidence of creation could definitely have been over a 1,000 years.

Answer 8

i am not sure if god can fit into the plan of a believer in evolution. because gods plan is creation, simple but true
maybe you believe in a higher power?
that would be a possibility.
you cannot be a atheist agnostic, christian
atheist- does not believe in god
agnostic-doesn't care either way
christian believes in god, can't mix em up sorry/

Answer 9

Evolution and God are the total opposite! God created all things in 7 days, and evolution says no intelligence intervened, only time was invovled with the creation of these complex systems.

You really believe in something else if you believe in both. I call it Gevolution

Answer 10

You don't think an evolutionary process could have been effected by God as part of His creation plan?

Evolution supporters often criticize Christians for taking the creation story in Genesis too literally.

But too often, it is the evolution champions -- not the Christians -- who take the story literally.

For instance, "six days" is in all likelihood not a period of six 24-hour days. It is most likely a metaphor for a much longer period of time. How long that period of time was, is anyone's guess.

In the mind of God, "six days" could really be six days -- or it could be six years, six hundred years, six million, whatever.

He needed to put it in terms that ancient, scientifically un-advanced people could understand -- that's probably where "six days" came from.
