Evolution or Creation????

Question

Would you believe that a complex organ such as the eye, is accidentally formed through evolution???

Answer 1

Here we go again!

1. Here's some basic description of just how color vision evolved. Try reading it and understanding it before you ask another not even well thought out question. Until you do so, trying to actually answer your "question" is simply an exercise in futility. http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/vision.html

BTW - eyes have evolved three times in three different phyla (in arthropods, mollusks, vertebrates) from three different starting points from different tissues and using different methods of collecting and using light (various bands of the electromagnetic spectrum). So, yes, eyes - very complex structures, can evolve.

Answer 2

Evolution. Just because we don't fully understand evolution doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I believe scientists would know more about the way things work than a clown waving around a story book. If we were created, what made the creator? If a complex being created the universe, surely someone had to make that creator or at least teach him the ropes. What if it were gods, instead of a god? Does anyone think of these things? Oh wait, I forgot, the bible is the word of god...Why? Because someone said so when you were a kid? The universe has existed in one form or another for as long as...who knows?

Answer 3

Evolution IS creation! I cant understand this infernal argument! Why does ANY religious sect want to tell The all Omnipotent how he created? This is blasphemy! If the GREAT ONE chose evolution to create then so be it! I like Kimmis answer, clown is right! How does one know that the ancient, unknowing, blithering idiot that claimed to have spoke to the Lord wasnt partaking of the wine a little too much or maybe chewing shrooms whilst writing scriptures? The Bible is merely a story! Man only thinks he can conceive of the Lords power! It is beyond comprehension!
I can see the people coming now with "there is more proof of creation than evolution." I havent seen one iota of it yet but I have seen man dig up bones and skulls of men with apelike features laying next to weapons and tools!
As religion stands today, it is a hinderment rather than a help to the future of man! WAKE UP! We were given this opportunity to show the Lord we have a desire to exist! Exploring space and studying the sciences are a part of our desire to live on!
This message was passed on to me by ZARATHUSTRA HIMSELF!
Although Panacea has good intentions, evolution is merely another word for adaptation! We see adaptation on a daily basis! This is your proof! Those who can adapt will survive, those who cant, wont!

Answer 4

These two things have nothing to do with each other whatsoever. The world is hardly a chaotic place. All things are governed by Universal Natural Law and most things in our common human experience are explainable in the small part of Universal Natural Law that science deals with. In other words, it is HIGHLY likely that the origin of man is scientific in nature as God intended.

However, that nature is not evolution by any means. Evolution has failed even the most basic scientific methodology. Despite hundreds of years of scientific inquiry across multiple fields of biology, not a single shred of scientific evidence that supports evolution has been observed. In fact, observations that we would expect using the scientific method, are conspicuously absent. For example, there is a complete lack of intermediate forms of one species turning into another, in the fossil record. That's more than a bit odd. When we force bacteria to undergo millions of generations of replication, we NEVER see one type of bacteria turning into another, even on a genetic level. That simply would not happen if evolution of one species into another was the rule. That's not saying that point mutations aren't passed down to offspring sometimes. However, these mutations are almost never adaptive and they ALWAYS extinquish after a few generations. But, the worst problem with evolution is its explanation for the origin of life is patently absurd. It violates a prime tenant of biology, the principle of biogenesis, or rather the observation that life ONLY can come from life and never from non-life. Put another way, life could never have "evolved" out of the primordial ooze because that never happens. Life never comes about from non-living material.....ever. Further, things simply don't evolve. There are many observations we should see if they did. None of them are present.

Evolution is junk science. Make no mistake, science is an objective discipline with rules and procedures that are standardized from person to person. Evolution fails to show even basic evidence under those rules. A person cannot disagree and still be applying science.....unless of course they come up with evidence. Such a thing would be of such historical importance that the person would immediately win a nobel peace prize and their name would go down in history.

Answer 5

The problem with creationism is that there is no evidence, beyond the Bible, that the world began the way the book says it did.

Common sense observation (the basis of science) would suggest that the world was formed through the most natural processes in the Universe; gravity, solar winds from the sun and the radioactive processes which drive the earth's core. Volcanism gave the world its first atmosphere, which gravity caused to stick to the surface like a mantle; and living things such as anaerobic bacteria furnished the engine which converted the air to oxygen.

Those living things are likely to have been formed from organic materials brought to earth on comets, as well as from natural morganic materials ejected from the core, rich in carbon. Lightning would have been instrumental in heating up these organic materials and causing them to form longer and longer carbon chain molecules, which eventually began to reproduce - life.

This process would have taken a very long time, longer than the authors of the Bible could even conceive of - they didn't have a decent numbering system at all, let alone one that could reach the sorts of numbers required to understand how much time elapsed.

The thing is, if things that weren't mentioned in the Bible don't exist, like dinoasurs and lasers and blind shrimps living in caves and Birds of Paradise and bears, then how come they exist, in defiance of the "Good Book"?

What Creationists fear is that, with one of the underpinning concepts of the Bible removed - namely, the Creation - the foundation of their theistic beliefs becomes ever more shaky, and they may find themselves powerless, broke and redundant in an ever changing world of wide awake people with their eyes wide open and thinking for the first time.

And there is evidence right now, in the form of new species being discovered, even new species forming from old ones, that evolution is not just something that exists: it is going on, right here, right now, in every living thing that's forced to adapt to a changing environment.

An environment we ourselves are changing, through our blind ignorance.

Answer 6

Lets put one thing straight first.
PURE Science and PURE Religion do not contradict each other
Evolution is a Scientific THEORY it is NOT Pure Science.
God has Created Rules and follows them.
God is Logical he does not contradict himself.
There is only ONE True Religion.

Evolution is a theory that all living creatures evolved from some a common evolutionary ancestor.
Evolution also states that this creature evolved from rocks and rain. the reverse steps are
animals and plants - single celled organism - prehistoric cell and mitocondria and chloroplasts - ooze that contains building blocks of life - rocks and acid rain - lava and gases from volcanoes.
that is what unpure-science claims you evolved from
Evolutionary Theory also is missing too many pieces to make a detailed map or picture. like making a puzzle with only 0.1% to 1% of the pieces. doesn't work period.

and since religion gives the only other alternative i'll have to go with the belief that we ARE created by God.
after all how does a quatinary biological programing language (DNA) that works actually come into existance by accident.
there is too much order in the universe for it to have just happened.

Answer 7

Evolution. More evidence to support it. Creation can be supported by evolutionary things that ocurred but people didnt know how to explain it or understand it so they felt a supreme being was responsible.
Example: several cataclysmic events ocurred that were explained as "God's wrath" or punishment by "satan" but that we now know were earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, plagues or floods. Ancient peoples had no knowledge or understanding of these events to explain them so turned to their religion for the answers...the "Gods" did it. Also explain how two people (Adam and Eve) supposedly were the only two on earth, had sons but yet their sons had wives to marry??? Too many flaws in the creationism theory that cant be explained. Noah and his family were the only ones to survive the flood so explain how they populated the earth...mathematically impossible. JMHO

Answer 8

Creation

Answer 9

Evolution is the clear cut answer.

Answer 10

Creation, of course
