how exactly does evolution contradict God?

Question

could it not just explain how god did his magic. if your arguing the 9 days thing doesnt god have the ability tospeed up the earth for thoughs days? so how is it contradictory?

Answer 1

Which god are you talking about?

If you're talking about the christian one, the bible says humans came before the other animals.

Evolution proves that single celled organisms came before multi-celled ones. Therefore evolution contradicts the christian god.

p.s. Lady left the tramp, evolution does NOT say that humans descended from apes. Evolution states that humans and apes descended from the same source. Humans evolved one way, and apes the other. Evolution's lineage is like a tree with branches, not a chain.

Look I know you're freaking bible inside and out, at least take the time to study evolution if you're going to discuss it.

Answer 2

Ok - long answer made short.

Evolution involves death, as things are tried and those changes that work continue, but those changes that do NOT work die.

Throughout the Bible starting at Genesis, God ascribes death as being the results of sin.

If there was death before sin, then the Bible is inaccurate on that count.

If Genesis is merely a "story" - an analogy, or whatever, then Adam and Eve must have been symbolic, and thus the story of the fall in Genesis 3 had to be symbolic, and thus sin entering the world through Adam and Eve's disobedience was only symbolic. Now get this. If the fall of man into sin was only symbolic, then the death of Christ on the cross was meaningless.

Long story short, they contradict because they are diametrically opposed.

Answer 3

evolution says that humans developed from apes - if this is true can you think of any reason why there are still apes? what would the point be?

In the beginning, God created ..... all things. It has been the goal of man to find some way around God. It is in human nature to rebel against the truth. We all want to come up with our own truth. Ultimately everyone will know the truth someday. I encourage you to study the Bible as well as the evolution theory more closely and make your own decision.

If people want to believe that they came from apes - they are free to believe. I don't believe that way. I know there are a lot of people who look and act that way, but I don't believe we did.

Oh and by the way God does have the ability to do all things including giving man the ability to make their own choice ... right or wrong.

God Bless

Answer 4

In the bible God created 2 people and mankind went from there, this took place 2000 years ago. Scientists have proved that the earth has existed for many millions of years and that the first life-forms existed in the sea, from there they evolved into amphibian's and on and on up to what we are today. This kind of throws out the "6 days"theory.

Answer 5

Madchap, exactly! The two are one in the same. I'm so glad someone else noticed. It's kind of like (and this is not meant to belittle anyone)...it's kind of like one mom explaining to a kid where babies come from... one kid is ready for the "Well ,when a man loves a woman then a baby is born" as opposed to another mom telling a kid "Well a man has anatomy that...." etc etc. Is the first mom wrong... NO, she's just explaining the way she thinks that her child needs to hear it and comprehend. Is the second mom wrong (or more right)? NO... she's just explaining it the way she feels is best. I believe in the Bible and I believe in science. Is that so weird?

Answer 6

i think of of it as the two-God concept. some human beings choose a god that's in charge for each and each experience of their lives. He provides neat, user-friendly motives that warrant, or invite, no scrutiny, e.g., "That the way I did it." maximum severely, he has a instruction manual the place you may look up how each and everything works and happens. That God's instruction manual exchange into written via primitive desolate tract residing scribes makes all of it the extra "real" for them. This I call the followers of the little god. Others can't reconcile the vastness and complexity of the universe devoid of a few guiding hand or theory. they often laugh on the thought God could violate the technology bobbing up out of one of His excellent creations - human mind. and of path they won't be able to take the aforementioned scribbling of the camel adult men as literal medical reality. they have no subject with evolution, or with the different branch of technology - certainly a number of those believers are large individuals to the countless theories. those I call the followers of the large god. i'm a non-believer. yet i've got not had a topic with the believers of the large god - no longer even on issues theological. and that they see no controversy in any respect. rather the alternative, they see the greatness of their god pondered in those theories and negated via the literalists.

Answer 7

it conflicts because god said that he created the animals just as they are today and the theory of evolution says that animals (and other organisms) were not the same as they are today but (according to natural selection) some species died out and others survived thus the trait that helped them survived were reproduced.
it was once a minority but now its a majority for example: if there were white flies and black flies and they lived together. then these birds come along and eats lots of the white flies. then when breeding time comes around there will be more black flies than white flies (because there is a less number of white flies that survived)

the example above is part of the theory of evolution.

Answer 8

Evolution does not contradict God, it contradicts the interpretation of the Bible by narrow-minded fundamentalists. PS , Just because I go by Omar does not mean that I'm not a Christian.

Answer 9

Evolution with Creator does not contradict God.

Answer 10

Evolution says that the earth has been here for millions of years. The Bible does not. It is not possible to belive both because of this one reason. There are so many more, too.
