is evolution theory against religion belief?

Answer 1

yes because evolution uses science which is based in facts... religion uses fairy tales

Answer 2

Some believe we all developed from some primordial soup. Ha! That is just absurd. Why have we not been able to recreate life from NOTHING then. We cannot manage to build anything without first using something that previously existed. Where did a Hydrogen atom come from? If an atom is made of protons, neutrons, & electrons, where did these 3 things come from? What makes up a proton?

As far as the blood type argument (Rhesus factor)…

Creationists don’t all discount evolution, we just understand that human life did not begin that way. Maybe Adam and Eve did have the same blood type. They were kicked out of Eden and had started to eat Animal Flesh after that. Maybe Adams blood type evolved to make himself a hardier person to be able to farm the ground and hunt for food. (unless you don’t believe in Evolution…) So lets say that Adam mutated to an ‘A’ and Eve stayed as a ‘B’, their children could become any of (4) blood types…’A’, ‘B’, ‘AB’, & ‘O’. Once ‘O’ type was created, that opened the door to all the other varieties that came about.

Oh yeah, if anyone believes in the big bang, what started the big bang? Something had to put the events of the universe in motion. You cannot create something from nothing.

Gravitational Singularity

Based on Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, some believe that the Big Bang was produced by a gravitational singularity. Many physicists and astronomers believe that the universe is, and always has been, expanding. If this is true, then if we go back far enough in time, we eventually reach a time when the universe was infinitesimally small. When this size reaches zero, it is said to be a "gravitational singularity." According to this model, time began at the same "instant" that this singularity exploded in the Big Bang, so there was nothing "before" the Big Bang.

But where did this gravitational singularity come from? What caused time to begin?

Faith

Some say that there does not need to be a cause. We know it happened because we are here. But that answer is based on faith, not science.

The Big Bang is not science--it is an article of faith.

Answer 3

Yes and No as not all religions believe this but some do!

I think the evolution theory is flawed like most religions so in some ways it is your faith and belief of the world how and why it was created!

You will have your own theory and it is different to mine!

The eloution theory makes scientific sense but now science is flawed and can be manipulated!

What a real question would be is why are we as a human race destroying the world when it took so long to create the civilisation we live in?

Answer 4

Nope, evolution and religion go hand in hand. It's fact that we've evolved, we started out black, as we moved to colder climates our hair, skin and eyes lightened as we didn't need so much pigmentation to protect us from the sun anymore. Every generation gets taller and supposedly smarter, but I'm not sure on that one. The only part that is obvious nonsense would be the ape to man theory, and that's simply a theory. Despite trying extremely hard, scientists have found no evidence of this, yet some people continue to pretend this theory is fact. These "big bang from nowhere" believers are much more illogical than religious believers, as we at least have a starting point.

Answer 5

Science and religion really dont get along well. Evolution theory is totally against religion because you see in evolution, people came from apes. Can you accept that? If that is true, apes or monkeys came first than people therefore since apes evolve into people, apes and monkeys should be extinct by now but still there are apes and monkeys around. What is that? Nature has favoritism that it selects those it want to evolve and those apes and monkeys we see are those rejected by nature to go through evolution thus retaining their original look? For me, the biblical fact of creation is more believable.

Answer 6

that's an ambiguous, even "loaded" question, but the answer is yes (and no).

"evolution theory" has no particular bone to pick with religion, save when religion misrepresents science. so no, it is not against. it just so happens that the theory of evolution, rationally derived from data that meets scientific standards, does not yield the same conclusions as some religious beliefs.

but yes, science in general is against believing something despite the lack of evidence. evolution theory is science, so your answer is yes. mind you, we're not talking about being maliciously against religion. it's just that religion operates on a premise that does not meet scientific requirements.

if that is perceived as malicious, then consider this:
The only devils in this world are those running around in our own hearts, and that is where all our battles should be fought. -Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)

Answer 7

Its against some religious beliefs, it is not against others.

Its also worth noting that the process of evolution is essentially proven fact, the mechanisms that drive it (natural selection, random genetic mutation - or perhaps divine intervention!) are theories.

Many christians regard the biblical story of creation as allegorical. Interestingly, genesis tells us that initially there was light (a big bang?), then light separated from darkness. Then water, and land masses were created. Then air and creatures, including 'great sea monsters'. Then land animals (after sea-creatures). Then Man and woman. The order is not exactly the same as what science shows us to be true, but surprisingly close! I suggest if you took an author who lived 6000 years ago, and showed him in fast forward the big bang, the formation of galaxies, the emergence of liquid water and continents, the emergence of sea life, then life on land, then man, his written account might look quite a bit like what we see in genesis.

If you believe that God actually created the world including man in 144 hours, out of clay, then evolution is indeed against your religious beliefs. If you believe that the creation story in genesis (or some other work) is allegorical, and that God acts through natural laws he set into motion, evolution is very consistent with your views.

The idea that religion is about faith without reason or fact is actually quite a recent one. For most of history, great minds have seen both as part of a spectrum.

Answer 8

Theory of evolution disproves most religious beliefs of creation, god, heaven, and hell.

Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism all have NO ground to stand on with the theory of evolution.

Since the so called organized religions have been in control of humans with
the FALSE ideas of god etc and benefiting from it they are fighting tooth and nail against the theory of evolution.

For an intelligent human the choice is simple. Do u believe in science and reason or myth and faith?

Answer 9

Evolution is not against religious belief if it is understood as a scientific study of the physical phenomena. But it becomes a grave evil if this theory is used to reject religion which is the science for the study of the soul.

Answer 10

no i think they can exist together. God put animals and plants on earth or at least the bacteria that evolved into them (for some plants) and they evolved into what they are today. He just allowed us to evolve. Adam and Eve probably didn't look like we do today ( and that's all that evolution is about - change of physical characteristics over time to adapt to natural environment) why wouldn't God allow that to happen. it is a good thing! so i don't believe evolution is against religious belief. maybe to extremists of the religion who take everything literally but not to me. i did biology and i also have religious belief. they can coexist!

Answer 11

Evolution isn't a theory, it is a fact. You can even observe animals that have evolved (not changed to different species, but changed genetically) over the last 100 years. So evolution is true. Religion isn't.
