Creationism?

Question

Why is it so hard for people of faith to believe that we evolved from a lower life form, rather than a lump of dirt? Beyond the bible, what evidence supports this belief?

These sites can do a better job than I possibly could in just a few lines.

Answer 2

well...lets start from the beginning....

According to science, there was a massive Hydrogen cloud floating in nothingness that exploded, causing the resultant gasses to swirl and form into planets, suns, etc.

1. Where did the Hydrogen come from?

2 Hydrogen won't burn or explode without the presence of an oxidizer (oxygen). If there was no Oxygen, how did the Hydrogen explode?

3. hydrogen and Oxygen can coexist withoug blowing up, unless something starts the combustion process.....Who lit the match?

4. Even if the Hydrogen did have oxygen in it, and it did explode, the only results left would be water vapor. Where did all the dirt that forms the planets come from?

As far as evolution goes...

According to DNA specialists it takes about 100,000 years for one type of animal to adapt into a different form of the same animal, such as changing from a red squirrel into a tree squirrel. Since science tells us that's true, that means it would have taken about 5 million years to change from Neanderthal into Homosapien (remember, that's according to DNA scientists). The problem I now have is...according to evolutionaists homosapiens have only been on Earth for about 150,000 years.

My next problem with science is carbon dating. I find it intersting that we put so much trust in it when a LIVE penguin was carbon dated to be over 1000 years old! Not only that, but a straw hat was found in a mexican farmers field and carbon dated at over 150 years old. Straw doesn't last that long before it would break down into dust. Also, the farmer that owned the field saw the hat and told the scientists he made the hat from fresh straw the year before.

Big Bang and Evolution??? It takes MORE faith to beleive in THAT than it does to beleive in creationism!!

Answer 3

What evidence supports evolution? From a Christian standpoint, the Bible explains that God created first the lowest form of life, ending with woman, the most physically intricate creature of all. Nowhere does the Bible say that God created the lowest form of life, then sat back and waited millions of years for woman to emerge. Its called the Order of Creation. But that's just my point of view.

Answer 4

What evidence supports your belief that we evolved from a rock?
(it rained on the rocks for millions of years and turned them into soup, and the soup "came alive")

Have you ever observed rocks springing to life?

Does information organize itself . . . ever?

There is ZERO evidence that supports the claim that life came from non-living material. It's called spontaneous generation and it was disproven by Louis Pateur.

And to answer your question, it is scientific evidence that supports the theory that an intellegent being is required to create life.

Answer 5

Dear bill k,

Let's take a look at the evidence for both and see which one makes more sense, Evolution or the Bible.

The Book of Genesis tells us that that God created every thing and nothing evolved. Every creature was given the ability and the command to reproduce after its own kind as is stated ten Times in genesis Chapter one. Dogs do not produce cats. Neither do dogs and cats have common ancestry. Dogs began as Dogs and are still dogs. They vary in species but you will not find dats, or Cogs (part cat?part Dogs) thought Gods creation. Frogs cannot produce oysters and Cows cannot give birth to Goats and nor do monkeys give birth to rabbits. God made monkeys as monkeys and man as man. Each creature brings forth after its own kind. That’s no theory, that’s a fact. Why then should we believe than Man comes from another species? If evolution is true then its proof that the Bible is false. However the whole of creation stands in direct contradiction to the theory of evolution.

More importantly the Bible says when we die will stand before God on Judgment day. The Ten Commandments will be Gods standard, so lets look at a few to see how you will do.

Have you ever lied (even once--fibs, white lies, etc.)? Ever stolen (anything--the value is irrelevant)? Jesus said, "Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery already with her in his heart." Have you ever looked with lust? If you have said "Yes" to these three questions, by your own admission, you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart; and we’ve only looked at three of the Ten Commandments.
What a shock! Nothing you’ve ever done is hid from His holy eyes. Will you be innocent or guilty on the Day of Judgment? Listen to your conscience. You know that you will be guilty, and the Bible says If God Judges you according to your sin, you could end up in Hell. That’s not God’s will. He provided a way for you and I to be forgiven.
He sent His Son to take our punishment: "God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." He was bruised for our iniquities. Jesus then rose from the dead and defeated death.
Your own so-called “goodness” can’t get you into heaven any more than mine could. Jesus is the only way to Heaven. He is the "Door," the only "mediator." There is salvation in no other name, so pray something like this: "Dear God, I repent of all of my sins (confess them). This day I put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Please forgive me and grant me your gift of everlasting life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen."

Answer 6

The current model of human was not created by way of god or evolution but by way of DNA manipulation by advance alien beings. This is why we have all of the confusion because we have not been given another option to work from. Believe it or not, do some more research and see what I mean.

Answer 7

What evidence supports your claim.
If you want to believe you evolved from monkeys, by all means - believe away.
I was wonderfully made by my Creator.

Answer 8

Same fear of the earth not being the center of the universe. People just freak out over things like this.

Answer 9

I think it happened through evolution and I'm a Christian. But, I'm very happy not to have all the answers and let some mysteries remain.

Answer 10

The encyclopedic information contained within one human cell.

Answer 11

The bible is like a fairy tail, because it is for childish minds. People who can not understand science. Science is too much for them, and is not in the proper format for them.
