Answer 2

No. Religion was outdated long before Darwin. The Age of Enlightenment, about 100 years before Darwin, was the time that people threw aside the shackles of organized religion and found better ways to relate to each other and the rest of nature on this planet.

For example, most of the Founders of the USA, who lived and died and never saw Darwin, were Deists, which means they did not accept organized religion in any form and only accepted the concept that there was a God because of the evidence of nature. This is why we have 'God' referenced in our Constitution and Declaration, but no Christ, or other religious terms.

Ben Franklin, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, and several others were not Christians at all.

Paine, who wrote 'Common Sense' which was the book that started the American Revolution, also wrote 'The Age of Reason' which was a complete refutation for the Christian bible and Islamic Koran. He said that the bible had tall tales like the 'Arabian Nights' but that they were not nearly as entertaining.

Answer 3

There are a lot of things that science and or Darwin can not explain even today. This is in spite of humanities claim to intelligence.

Where did this universe come from? Who created it? Are there more than one universes. The scientists still have not been able to recreate life in a lab with the so called ingredients that supposedly started the first life on earth. Yet we know what ingredients they are.

The day when humans will have all the answers to all the questions, we probably would have attained Godly status ourselves.

But until that happens people will continue to have faith in the divine being. The creator of every thing.

The name does not really matter. But for argument's sake we can call it God. Different faiths have different names for it.

However any form of faith that preaches violence, hate and intolerance of other faiths is far from Godly and is a deviation created by evil minds. Such religions and faiths humanity can do without.

Answer 4

Darwin's theory leaves too many unanswered questions. It leaves everything to mere chance. It requires a never ending series highly improbable chance occurrences to take place in order for the lowest of the "higher" life forms to ever develop. From there it only gets more unlikely. If his theory were true then why have there been no further evolutionary advances in the human species for the last 2-3 million years. No height and longer life spans do not qualify as evolutionary changes. Both can be attributed to better nutrition and the advancement of society.
I have no use for religion so do not speak to me of your god and I will not impose mine on you. I will however go on to tell you that there are too many things that science can not explain. Too many instances in my own life and the lives of my friends and family where faith that a higher power was guiding my way have yielded much better results than I could have ever dreamed possible. Today there is an ever increasing number of scientist coming forward to say that science and spirituality are not mutually exclusive, Neither can fully explain itself or the other, however the two combined ......

Answer 5

Darwin went to Galapagos island. He noticed that some finches had longer beaks than others. A bell rang in his head and he began to think. There were great civilizations who disappeared and left ancient writings that our wise teachers tried to call primitive art until the Rosetta Stone was found. Now my friend according to my notes--Darwin was not a Master. I am not so mentally insecure or so spiritually diluted that I need Darwin's analysis of finches to built my scientific understanding of how this huge clock called Universe functions in perpetual motion.
Thanks but no thanks!
I hope you notice how people with a specific agenda push certain books, push certain theories--especially those that need constant upgrading like "Evolution" and those same people get upset when new authors ask simple questions like "How can scientists take intelligent samples from an intelligently compacted site on earth and call the samples orderly and intelligent and then turn around and question if the creator of the intelligent site is orderly and intelligent?"

Boaz.

Answer 6

Religion is outdated as a means of explanation of the world. Different religions create many varied and conflicting explanations, Perhaps the use of religion was to keep one class of people dominant over another. Religion or the differences in beliefs are responsible for the majority of wars and global conflicts right up to the present. Darwin on the other hand explains the evolution of mankind in a scientific way. We all know that science is based on proven fact. Religion on the other hand is based on opinion and beliefs handed down and changed at will by each respective religion to profer it's own interests. What do you wish to follow fact or fiction?

Answer 7

If you believe in God, you believe in a divine intelligence that caused all things to be. Darwin just tries to explain how it was done, in scientific terms.

Do you remember when scientists first proposed the "Big Bang" theory of how our universe came into existence? Even the scientists had to say it resembled the text in Genesis - "And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light." That's just how scientists think our universe came into existence -- with an explosion of light.

Faith says that God caused it to happen; science just explains how. One does not cancel out the other.

Answer 8

it will never be outdated...however...more and more ppl WILL come to understand a more realistic and logical way of life in the future.
believers claim we "non-believers" are a minority...when actually we are not. they claim this without evidence because we somehow "threaten" their existence.
and MOST ppl don't even know that MANY of their revered hero's and important ppl from their past were in fact Atheist/Agnostic and we even have records of their own words on the subject.
history ignores this fact due to the stain it would have on the religious community.

EDITED:
Darwin was NOT a Christian!!! omg..there they go using scientific minds for their own argument..when the guy is DEAD and cannot defend himself. BUT here is a DIRECT quote from Charles Darwin: "The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us, and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic."

as you can PLAINLY see Darwin admitted UN SHAMEFULLY that he was agnostic..that is definitely NOT christian! gezzz ppl.
you can pretty BS up all you want..but it still stinks..cause it's still BS!

Answer 9

returned in the day, there have been the pharasees and suducees. Christ positioned them of their place as so we could desire to do with cutting-edge non secular leaders, by ability of not following their lead. Christs words have been spoken approximately 2000 years in the past and that they'll final invariably. Your speaking approximately killing those religions because of fact they're synthetic? nicely, won't this new one be? for the reason that while has guy been waiting to rule over one yet another? for the reason that while will this so referred to as want for a clean faith not grow to be comparable to what you initially say the others have become? The previous faith of christ preaches a definate God ruled government. Thats the only i want! you sound like a preacher bent on manipulation of the gullible.

Answer 10

The facts are screaming of the inadequacy of Darwins theory. It's outdated, it's been manipulated on multiple fronts and it still is unproven and cant explain a number of universal truths.
Get with the 21st century, the Bible is scientifically being proven on mulitple levels.

Answer 11

no, i think alot of people closed their minds to a whole area of possibility as far as science goes, after darwins theories. ... everyone just assumed they had it all figured out ... and i think all u need to do is pick up any scientific magazine to see that totally accepted scientific theories are being turned upside down and blown out of the water all the time ... i just saw one the other day on "dark matter" theories being possibly wrong and the latest theories point to the fact that even some of einstein and newtons laws may be flawed ... ignorant? ignorant is accepting a theory as fact and tossing out everything else.
