how much proof would it take to prove to a religious person that we infact evolved and were not created by god. i do not want scripture. i want to know what you think would prove to you that we did infact evolve and were not placed here by a god. what would it take to prove this point to you?

It would take a complete breakdown of MY DNA, and DNA from something when the world was first formed, and not using any of mans science showing me, with indisputable proof that I came from That.
Man can manipulate anything, and I need more than just hypothesis, and conjecture as proof.

Since evolution is a theory, they would have to come up with something way better than what they have. Every thing listed as proof of evolution has some holes in it that haven't been plugged. Too many critters are still the same as they were millions of years ago. Who is to say man evolved, while crocodiles stayed the same? No one has explained how things evolve and survive at the same time. Woodpeckers have no bones in their neck. Evolutionists claim they adapted over a period of time, but how did they survive in the meantime. If they were woodpeckers, would they not break their necks and die, and hence be extinct?
Look around. There is more evidence that God created the universe than there is otherwise. From the microscopic shells used as abrasives in toothpaste, to snowflakes, no 2 of which are alike. All the planets and stars in the universe move with such precision, scientists can predict where they will be 100 or 1000 years from now.
If you talk all day, you cannot find proof that it "just happened" that way. All signs point to a creator.

OK, so, you used the phrase "did infact evolve and were not placed here by God" Evolution is a THEORY. Even scientists will tell you that. And the only way I would ever believe that we came from monkeys, is for God to tell me that is how it happened. And he hasn't so far, so, I don't guess you could prove a thing.
Oh and by the way... all of this "proof" that you say you have, only proves that God is the creator, nothing else. So what if our DNA is close to that of a monkey... they are close, not the same... God created DNA anyhow, and allowed us to discover it.

I don't think it possible to prove to me that we evolved. If a person were able to prove to me that God does not exist, or that God did not create us, then I would look to other explanations for how/why we are here. It is possible that, if God were disproven to me (which I doubt can be done) then after looking into evolution I could possibly accept it as that which makes the most sense, but I don't believe anything from that long ago in the past can be proven.

I'm sorry.
There is no evidence that would ever convince me that we were not created by God.
I can accept evolution as a possibility, although it does seem to leave alot unexplained...but even if you could prove to me, beyond any shadow of any doubt...say, you could produce all the missing links (and there are many)...you could STILL not prove that God didn't set evolution in motion.
The problem with alot of folks is that they just can't seem to separate what is physical, from what is spiritual. How can you expect to either prove or disprove the existence of a Spiritual God with nothing but physical evidence?
What will you do about the spiritual evidence... i.e. ...there has been "religion" for as long as there have been men advanced enough to worship? Always, mankind has been reaching out to the God he instinctively knows is there.
God has also answered, and reached down for men, in Jesus, the Christ.
Think about it.......

If there were no monkeys. If we evolved from monkeys then why do we still have monkeys? It sure take a lot more faith to believe that a "big bang" and there were all the stars and the sun and the earth going around the sun and there was a moon going around the earth. What a miracle, It had to be God that did it not the fact that it just happen that way. Come on don't be stupid.

Ok I will answer your question with one for you. Let us asume (for a second) that we did evolve and was not placed here by a god. What is your explanation for the plants and the beautiful flowers that grow everyday did they evolve too??? Could evolution make a beautiful working machine like our bodies??
Think about all the wonderful functions of the body and you will know that our creator put us here to enjoy all the beautiful things on this earth. Ok who made the first man or woman?? Where did they come from??

Absolute proof that we evolved does not in any way disproove that there might be some intelligent force behind the very beautiful and clever way evolution works. That also happens to be a reasonable theory. ... at least as reasonable as to speculate that things just started developing out of nothing for some reason. To assume that the existence of evolution disprooves the existance of God, is as narrow minded as to assume that the existence of God disprooves the existence of evolution.

if you just want to hear about evolution, then you are clearly one sided and not open to other options/opinions....
However, the only plossible explanation would be that some people have belief issues, I am in no way trying to bash anyone, just making a point.
The Darrowin thoery is an intersting theory. Darrowin himself on his death bead stated it wasonly a theory and that he hod not scientific proof to back it up....other than his simple observations.
There is no evolotion, however, there is adaptation. If you you put a mom in a room with 6 kids, she is going to adapt to the siuation, she is not going to "evolove" and grow another 3 arms to help compensate, believe me I've tried.......

Prove to me there is no God. People have been trying for centuries. If you could prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that God does not exist, evolution and all that aside, then I may listen, but since they haven't figured it out yet, and I have many personal experiences saying that he does, I probably won't change my mind. Besides I would rather be wrong and have lived a good and meaningful life for others, than be wrong in the end and have lived for nothing but myself.
