(honest answers only) Do you claim evolution is false with little knowledge?

Question

CONFESSION: I DID.

I thought I was clever, just coming up with what I thought was, creative answers to a subject I knew little about.

I mean, we can all agree that anyone who makes claims about something they know little about, is a fool, like I was...fair? Weve all experienced it right? Youre a mechanic, and some guy pretends to be knowledgable, claiming all kinds of things, when his ignorance is naked in from of you.

Admitt it....thats what youve been doing. Actually, the first person who honestly declares it...convincingly...i dont feel any sarcasm, I will give the 10 points.

Learn about evolution before you speak about it.

Answer 1

I will be honest with you- I used to. I have since studied information not only on the side of evolution and the Bible and evolution with the Bible and other theories that evolutionists and Christians throw out the window. I know why I believe what I do and I don't believe blindly- I ask questions I listen to answers on both sides of the argument and I weigh them with basic common sense. I am not always right about everything and I don't know everything. What bothers me the most is when people say things as if they were fact, with no real solid evidence and refuse to say I don't know.

Answer 2

I was very much into evolution. But part of it never seem to ring true. No specie can be shown to spontaneously turn into a totally new species. Species can change, within the DNA that makes them what they are. Example: European Humans were shorter say 500 years ago the average man was about 5'6" Someone 6' was a very tall man. Now, the average man is like 5' 10" maybe taller. Also, evolution tries to show a species MAKES a choice to change. Example: Giraffes grew long necks so they could reach the top leaves. That would require a thoughtful decision on the animals part. Well, that does kinda tick me off about my ancestors... I would of liked to been able to fly, or kept gills along with lungs for when I go swimming!

You also have the bush theory, In this form of Evolution we start with an amoebas some 800 million years ago. then our amoebas split and make multi-cell animal this is the first branch. The same thing happens again and again with new branches. then the Multi-cell animals start to branch, we get one branch that has much of the Dinosaurs limb of that branch, one becomes the fish branch. The root of the branch does not die, which is why we can have say monkeys and then Human branch still today. and we still have amoebas along with dinosaur ancestors. Yes, this all makes good science. So? what is the problem with the bush theory? It does fit and explain the models.

Here it is.. Time.. We all know ( or thought we did) it takes millions of years for things to happen. Some 800 million years to grown some 6 million species alive and dead. A brand new species every 133 years. And what does a bush do when it grows with new branches? It makes even more branches faster. Ok, here is the kicker.. How many brand new species has there been that you can point and say "Yes, that has just evolved" Say in the last 500 years? 5000 years? None.. none at all. Because God created them each, even some that have the same Characteristics. After all we all live on the One Earth.

Answer 3

I cannot tell a lie, I don't speak out against the theory of evolution with little knowledge, I've done quite a bit of study on this topic. I've even engaged in a lengthy e-mail interchange with one poster here who gave me a link to a scientific site where the author was talking about self forming and replicating RNA as part of an article that wasn't about the evolution debate. I know very well that evolutionists don't think that we evolved from monkeys but that we have a common ancestor.

But even before I became a Christian I knew that the theory had serious flaws. Anyone who comes to this subject without a prior bias who was told that people believe that a chemical stew plus time plus chance plus random mutations plus natural selection created the complex internal systems, the millions of different life forms, animals like the butterfly that starts out as a worm, the hummingbird, the carpenter ants who keep aphids like cattle, and even mankind who has left the earth and traveled to the moon and back would be asking "How is that possible?".

If you click on my profile and look at an answer I gave just a while ago to someone who asked about the "3 million" year old fossils you can see some other research I've done on this subject. Sorry if you're looking for people to fess up but I don't answer questions here with my opinions but only with facts whether they come from God or science.

Answer 4

No, I have not been doing anything what you have been doing. I have 3 bachelor degrees and 2 master's. I won't go into more detail lest you think i am being sarcastic or bragging.

You need to define "evolution" before an rational answer can be given. If you don't realize that, you still haven't learned enough and your question is irrelevant.

Do you mean Darwinian Evolution? Well, even mainstream science knows Darwinian Evolution is a dead theory. Cellular biology and genetics has killed Darwinian evolution as a viable theory. Mostly old hippies still think Darwinian Evolution is a valid theory.

Do you mean Biological Evolution?
Do you mean Cellular Evolution? Macro evolution, micro evolution?

Please specify what you think you mean by evolution.

By the way, I'm not here to collect "10 points."

good luck.

Answer 5

Yes, I believe evolution is false. There is a Book & DVD called the origins of life. It takes a small bacterium with a revolving tail. In evolution you are one thing that becomes another. The tail of this bacterium has 48 moving parts. All 48 would have to evolve at the exact same time. If just one of the 48 moving parts arn't there, it dies. When species change, they adapt. They adapt some part of their body or mannerism to adapt to a changing climate or other. To evolve in the manner of the evolutionist first you are an ape, then for some reason the ape bears a human child. Anyway. look up the DVD the origins of life. Many atheistic scientist are now becoming believers in intelligent design. Not to say they believe in Jesus or Mohammad or Budah. But they believe there is some one out there in the big picuture.
Now thats as honest As I can put it.

Answer 6

It's not wrong. I've done research on it, and it's not wrong...really.

Micoevolution IS possible. Seeing a blue flower and a red flower share the same ancestry is amazing!

MACROevolution isn't. There is NOT evidence to show that a man and a sponge are related! There's no evidence to support it at all.

The Burgess Pass proved that the explosion of life wasn't gradual--wingers and fins appeared at the same time. This is HUGE!!

So are you right? Sure. We all speak about things of which we do not know. We all do it, even if we don't think we do it.

However, it is important to view ALL sides of an argument. How well have you studied intelligent design? Creationism? OTHER ideas regarding the start of the world and our rise as humans?

What's interesting about creationism is that 95% of the religions out there have a creation story that resembles the Biblical creation story. And THOSE creation stories actually correspond with the Big Bang!

Answer 7

Is it just me, or did most of these answers completely miss the irony involved. They basically answered your question in the same way you are asking them to think about their previous answers.

The truth is, almost no one I have come in contact with have any real knowledge on the subject. I took a Physical Anthropology class (basically evolution) in college. I don't claim to be any sort of expert, but I do feel like I'm somewhat educated. EVERY time I try to have a serious discussion with a creationists (I avoid the ones who can't have intelligent discussions) they either instantly get confused about the my "science" talk, or they ask questions which are fundamentally answered with a basic understanding of evolution. The one I get most often is "why did we stop evolving?"

Answer 8

When I say that there is no proof of evolution, believe me, I've done my homework, and have read various books on the subject. Books like Lee Strobel's "The Case for a Creator" and Dr. William Lane Craig's " Reasonable Faith" and other books on apologetics and the such. I do not make my claims without knowing what I'm talking about, that is just foolish.

Answer 9

We may know little about it, but we know more than the people who just believe in intelligent design. I don't believe it's false, for it has good scientific reasoning, and until I hear an alternative with more SCIENCE, not blind faith, backign it up than evolution currently has, I will believe in evolution. Sure, dont' give me ten points, I don't care, this is my opinion, which cannot be swayed by meaningless point value systems.

Answer 10

If the belief of evolution grew to become into shown fake, the information that supplied the information may well be sure no count if or no longer there grew to become into any validity extra to the biblical creation myth. for occasion, if we chanced on that the earth have been seeded with existence from someplace in area, the tactic with the aid of which that have been achieved might the two be closer to the biblical tale or greater from it. yet it extremely is unquestionably all hypothetical.
