Evolution.?

Question

Please explain to me how and why Calculus would point towards Evolution or Creation being true.


Blast me, I'm not good at math. I just want a start to my investigation on the 2 concepts.

Remember there is mathmatical process for everything and Honors Advanced Calculus is very complicated but it involves even the Crash of a Wave.

Good luck.

Evolution has six catogories:

1)Cosmic Evolution

2) Stellar or Planetary evolution

3) Chemical Evolution

4) Biological Evolution

5) Macro Evolution

6) Micro evolution

Do I have narrow it down?

Show me some math instead of BULL **** RELIGIOUS ANSWERS.

Is that direct enought?

Answer 1

Greetings!

OK, I'm going to go way out on a limb with this answer, because I have given this subject a great deal of thought myself. The problem is, I have no depth of education in either Calculus, Science, or Theology. I can only offer my thoughts on the subject and hope that they help, rather than confuse.

Firstly, it is my belief that God indeed created the universe. It is also my belief that he created it to exist within certain physical or scientific boundaries purposely in order to limit our understanding of the true makeup of the universe. If we were capable of understanding and deducing all of these facts regarding the origins of the universe and all of it's contents, we would then be privy to all that which God knows, and of course the scientific explanations of his very existence and of our own. Obviously, if we did figure all of this out on our own, there would be no need for faith, and therefore no means by which to get to Heaven...which of course must exist on some plane of existence we are also not meant to understand in our lifetime here on Earth.

In short, simply because something cannot be mathematically or scientifically explained, does not mean is does not exist. We will learn all of these truths when we are meant to. All things in the universe can be explained scientifically or mathematically...just not by us. We can theorize all day long, but in the end, we'll only come so close before being left with more questions we cannot answer. I do know that in math, they call that a variable. The variable that cannot be filled with a number is God's will. I know you didn't want a religious answer, and I honestly feel that I didn't give you one. Unfortunately, for your purposes of this investigation, it's the only conclusion you will be able to draw.

I wonder how Dr. Stephen Hawking would answer this question...maybe, if you're lucky, he will.

Good Luck

Answer 2

You might start your search with probability. I think someone has calculated the probability of evolution, but I wouldn't be able to give you a source or anything. Really, math is a harder angle to approach this debate. Biology, cosmology, and geology are easier, since evolution is related to them. I can tell you that I beleive in creation. There really isn't enough room to list the reasons why. The books below have a Christian slant, but it would be hard to find a book on this topic that doesn't have a bias of some sort. Good luck on your search.

Answer 3

Creationism is a faith based hypothesis that cannot be proved.

Evolution is a science based theory that can be proved...eventually. In fact, for some species, like flies, evolution has been shown experimentally. Change their environment and over generations, they will adapt (evolve) to survive that new environment.

The mere existence of life proves the probability of life in this universe is greater than zero. Given the nearly infinite number of events that must have happened in the 13 billion years or so of this universe, the expected number of lifes is E(L) = P(L>0)N; where the probability of life and the number of possible outcomes(life and non-life) are both positive numbers.

Thus, although calculus is not invoked here, probability can be used to argue that life can occur randomly given sufficient time and consequent number of possible outcomes over that time.

Answer 4

I had no idea that there was a correlation between the two. Caclulus was discovered by good ol' Sir Isaac Newton, so it was realized or created by him. Evolution is more of a biological factor and not related to abstract calculus in my understanding, but if you can prove a relation between them, then you have my kudos because I wouldn't even know where to start.

Answer 5

The calculable odds in favor of evolution are a sure bet, opposed to creationism. Consider a miracle as an odd. If you can do this then you won't need math in any equation. All you'd need is a request and it would eventually would occor.

Answer 6

Those six categories of evolution do NOT correspond to any single scientific field. Indeed they represent, AT MINIMUM, 4 different major theories. Numbers 5 & 6 don't really correspond to any particular scientific theory I'm aware of.

At any rate, Math, in and of itself, CANNOT point to empirical truth. Math is fundamentally NON-empirical. It is a formal system, not natural science.

Answer 7

Creation is Faith and Beliefs

Evolution is Theory but Mathematically correct and just a matter of time before it no longer is Theory.


" As people keep changeing their beliefs to coincide with evolution "

Answer 8

Creation is by faith alone, not facts... Evolution is based on theory and observation... so what? That's what science is.....

Answer 9

Hi. You could start with the argument that since it exists, one or the other is true.

Answer 10

creation is by faith and facts, evolution is just THEORIES. do your math...
