Do you have faith that evolution is false or do you logically believe it is false?

Question

Why?

William...you just proved to me that you used faith to decide that evolution is false.

Look people, I can't prove that George Washington was a real person...all I have is evidence he existed. So what I have a body? It could be someone else's body.

Evolution is based on evidence. If you have a problem with the evidence then that's fine, but don't say it didn't happen because the Bible left it out.

Answer 1

Evolution is logical and true. Creationism is not.

Answer 2

logically

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 3

emo_harmony,
Hey! Hi. I recognize you. How's it going?

"Do you have faith that evolution is false or do you logically believe it is false?"
I think my belief that it is false is based upon logic. If it didn't require faith to believe it, the articles written on the subject wouldn't include such phrases as, " We think," and "perhaps," and "it appears that. . .," and " it might have been."

So Evolutionists do not have the facts that they think they have. The true scientists suspect something, but the laymen run with it, and aspouse it as fact.

I have faith that it is false also. It would seem to me that God didn't do it that way. And then, God created Adam. It doesn't say that there weren't any other humanoids on the Earth, and those verses in the Bible that talk about God creating man actually say that God created Adam, with the significance of Adam having had been breathed to life.

So I can approach the subject either way. But note this: Even if Evolution was true, it still doesn't explain away God. It only highlights how He created life.

Answer 4

I logically know it to be false! Lets try the eyeball. There is no way that that could have happened. We are wonderfully made. Does a Swiss watch just happen to come together by natural selection? NO, DA! The watch factory does not blow up and when the peaces fall back to earth they come together to form a watch. No big bang, no evolution. Gen 1:1-2:3, That is the real way things came together. This is fact not fiction.

Answer 5

The problem with saying that evolution is false..is that there are portions of evolution that are not theory.

Evolution is part theory part provenable fact.

Evolution is for example: a child growing up to be an adult.
Yes I accept a faithview (for here) that the birth is godgiven but evolution is a fact here... Growth of any life is evolution.

Other facts of evolution:
Catipillar becomes butterfly... is probably the quickest example of evolution.

Answer 6

To most of those above me: There is no way to prove either way. It is whatever makes more sense to the individual. The problem comes from those who take it too seriously and act out against others depending on what they believe. Believe whatever you want. If you think that purple monkeys with vacuum cleaners created all of this, more power to you. Just don't destroy the rest of us with your whack job beliefs. :)

Answer 7

I logically believe it is false. There is actually nothing that states it is true.Theory is not fact.

Answer 8

Logically believe it is false.
but I don't care what you believe, believe a stick is your god for all I care!

Answer 9

I logically believe it is true.

Answer 10

The Qur'an says:

He, Who perfected everything that He created - He started the creation of man from clay then he inculcated in him [i.e. man] the potential to reproduce through a drop of humble fluid then He embellished and fashioned him in due proportion; and breathed into him of His spirit and [thereby] developed in you [the abilities of] listening, vision and feeling.

The above verses clearly tell us that in the beginning man was created from clay. The words 'creation from clay', obviously, do not necessitate that God created an effigy of man from clay and then gave life to it. It may, as we know, imply that in the beginning man came into existence out of the earth [the mud or the clay etc. of the earth]. In other words, God inculcated in earth - mixed with water - the potential to produce life. Over centuries or even millennia, the life-bearing potential of the earth materialized and a species quite similar to, yet somewhat different from man was born[1]. This was the first stage in the creation of man, as is evidenced by the words: "He started the creation of man from clay".

In the second stage, the potential of reproducing life - of bearing offspring - through sexual contact between the male and the female genders was inculcated in this species. This stage is mentioned in the words: "then he inculcated in him the potential to reproduce through a drop of humble fluid".

In the third stage, the species was physically fashioned into proportion and with that God also breathed into it of His spirit, which developed in it the abilities of listening, vision and feeling[2]. The words: "then He embellished and fashioned him in due proportion; and breathed into him of His spirit and [thereby] developed in you [the abilities of] listening, vision and feeling", point to this final stage in the development of the human species.

It may be interpreted from the above explanation that it was only the first pair of near-humans - i.e. Adam and Eve - who went through the three stages explained above. That is Adam's (and Eve's) creation was initiated from clay - that is they were produced through the life-generation potential inculcated in the earth. Later on, the potential of reproduction through sexual contact was inculcated in Adam (and Eve). In the third stage, Adam (as well as Eve) was physically fashioned into due proportion and God breathed into them of His spirit and thereby developed the higher sapiential abilities in them.

However, contrary to the above interpretation, another theory that may be developed on the basis of the information given in the referred verses may be as follows[3]:

Man's creation, in the first stage, was initiated by the production of a like species from the earth. In this stage, a number of near-human pairs - male and female - were produced directly from the earth.

In the second stage, the near-human pairs were inculcated with the ability of reproducing life through sexual interaction between the male and the female gender of the species.

In the third stage, one of the directly produced pairs (as in the first stage)[4] - i.e. Adam and Eve - were physically fashioned into due proportion and were inculcated with the advanced human abilities. It was at this stage that Adam and Eve became complete humans.

Over subsequent centuries, the other directly produced pairs (in the first stage) and their offspring became extinct. The only pair that survived, through its offspring was that of Adam and Eve.

The whole human race that populates the planet is the offspring of the one directly produced pair, which was physically fashioned into due proportion and inculcated with the advanced human faculties.

In view of the information provided by the Qur'an and the human knowledge that has developed over time, one may ascribe to any explanation that seems correct to him. However, if the latter theory is accepted to be correct, it also helps explain the existence of the slightly different fossil bones. It seems that these bones are of the near-humans that, in contrast to Adam and Eve and their subsequent generations, were not physically fashioned into proportion or inculcated with the advanced human faculties and which became extinct over time.

It should be stressed here that the above is a development of a somewhat detailed scenario, on the basis of some vague indications of the Qur'an and the general knowledge that has become available to man. The scenario may or may not be completely accurate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[1] The last part of the referred verses clearly informs us that it was at a later stage that the species was physically fashioned into proportion and inculcated with advanced human abilities.

[2] It may be noted that it was not merely the faculties of 'hearing' and 'sight', which, like other living things, the species seems to have possessed before this stage as well. On the contrary, at this stage the abilities inculcated in man were that of 'listening', 'vision' and 'feelings', which is a stage ahead of mere 'hearing' and 'sight' and is probably possessed, at such an advanced level, only by man.

[3] The theory is primarily developed by my teacher Javed Ahmed Ghamidi.

[4] As the Qur'an at another place (Aal Imraan 3: 59) tells us that Adam was directly produced from clay (earth) and was not born to a father and a mother.
