Whats easier to believe? creation or evolution?

Question

A God created all.
or
A bolt of lightning hit some ozze and made a cell that mutated into a tick and an elephant and a bird and a fish and a etc.
and if nature dosen't waste, why do we only use part of our brain?

Answer 1

Why can't we believe in both?

Why can't we believe that God created all living things and that we have adapted (evolved) to survive in our present element?

Answer 2

No one really knows what happened. I do think it is funny that people will tell you that evolution is a fact and that belief in God can't be tested scientifically.
Creationism & Evolution are both are theories however Creationism won't be taught in the God hating school systems. Yet we can teach something that is only a theory--Evolution-- as if it were a fact. Why can't both be taught in school? A seperation of church and state? That is not what the founding fathers had in mind when writing that into the constitution. Seperation of church and state simply means that the government can not force anyone to practice any given religion or even believe in God. It does not mean God or religion can not even be discussed in public. That is called communism!

Answer 3

I think creationism is easier to believe for those who were raised in a heavily religious family/community that favors religion over education. Those who were raised with a more balanced viewpoint - for example a religious upbringing with equal emphasis on education and taught a healthy respect for using their own minds to question and seek knowledge of all types - tend to find it not only easier to believe in evolution but ridiculous to deny it given all of the scientific evidence.

On a personal note, I find it odd when folks can't feature that a God with such omnipotence might not have used evolution as just another facet of creating a universe. After all, a God who is without beginning or end would find 4 billion years nothing but a long afternoon.

Answer 4

First of all, evolution is more complex than just a "lightening bolt". It was formed when complex carbohydrates and enzymes came together and formed a single celled being which adapted to the environment and mutated. This happens over millions and millions of years. It didn't just happen at once you know? Also we do not only use part of our brain (a myth passed down by people). We use all of our brain--every single neuron of it. The only "evidence" of creation is the bible but that is written by men who are not scientists but more like story tellers. With all the evidence pointing to evolution, it is much more likely that it happened that way.

Answer 5

I think they are the same story told from different viewpoints. One from the point of the blindly faithful who can’t see science as a part of God and one from the blindly scientific who can’t God as part of science.

God is often said to be “omniscient” the 2 root words there are “all” and “science” or “all-knowing” If God created everything in the world – then he created science and it’s discoveries. So in the bible we read that God said “Let there be light”. Some call it a big bang…and that’s okay – something had to light the fuse…

Some may not agree that we evolved into what we know is man, but denying it seems like it would be denying discoveries right in front of our faces and that puts religion in a very dim light. We have brains so that we use them, not turn them off and follow blindly.

I don’t think there is any factual scientific discovery that denies the existence of God…and when I say God, I mean the force that makes it all go, Not a guy on a cloud in white robes with smiting capabilities. “God” is the term we gave that force that seems to me the Essence of life and Science gets closer and closer to proving “God” in that form instead of disproving him. It is one of the cornerstones of the work of Scientists like Stephen Hawking and Einstein...

Answer 6

that depends on how smart you are. first of all there is no proof that we only use part of our brain. you must have heard that on the street.

if you don't understand science, chemistry, biology, astronomy, etc. then you will likely choose creationism.

however, if you are more scientifically-minded, you will likely understand that evolutionary theory is more accurate than genesis' version of creation.

that said, there is no proof whether or not some creative force, or god, initiated the big bang and/or evolution. as a scientist, there is room for a belief in both a god and evolution, but no room for the strict biblical interpretation of the creation story.

Answer 7

The fact that earth and the other parts of the universe developed over a 14 billion year time span is a proven scientific fact. But no one can state if a 'god' started the whole process or not.

Science is sure that the 6000 year old earth theory is wrong.

Answer 8

You are attempting to lure the reader into a logic trap. You present a simple scenario that is incomplete.

There are many other possibilities that exist.

For example, God may have created the environment which allows for the process of evolution.

Answer 9

looks to count number on who you're. in case you grew up being taught the introduction tale as an absolute reality and also you have not studied evolution then i'm positive it sort of feels fairly far out. some human beings have a dislike for the conception we did not continuously exist as we are now, that we've advanced. So for them that is more desirable person-pleasant to stay with the introduction tale. For others who've studied evolution or artwork in sciences, i imagine it turns into harder to settle for the introduction tale actually and evolution is more desirable person-pleasant to believe. Then there are the introduction scientists who've studied evolution yet i imagine basically with the time table that they don't like it and need to disprove it. I save interpreting their stuff because i need to have an open concepts and by no skill blindly settle for something yet to date they're churning out biased, junk technology for the most section. Mainstream scientists, majority of whom do believe in God and are not adversarial to faith, believe in evolution. So for those creationists the conception of adjusting their international view in mild of adjusting information is harder than believing in evolution even even with the undeniable fact that they have got studied it.

Answer 10

Evolution.

Answer 11

Its not really easier to believe either. I believe in god, but didnt always. I used to not understand why if god was so great that he could let such awful things happen to people but in the end that all changed when i realized i wouldn't be alive today if christ wasnt with me through all the horrible things that happened. I really dont think id be alive. I can see then why people would want to believe in evolution if they dont believe in god, but it seems a little far fatched that we at some point were all bacteria floating around in the air. So i suppose since we dont know how long the universe has been here, its possible but it would hav ebeen an incredibly slow process. So i dunno if one is per say easier to believe. I think its all about what you just feel is right.
