evolutionists..............?

Question

y is it that when u are faced to ask simple logic questions and u don't know the answer to them u claim we know nothing about evolution or never studied it and so on, i have alot of questions that i have posted and noone has been able to give me the answers , just stupid, childless remarks, as a christian i have all my answers in the bible that i need, y can't u see that? or try to read the bible and u might understand a little more about the very thing your criticizing

im not asking questions about my faith , im asking questions about your pathetic faith on scientists
evolution was based on a joke ppl WAKE UP
darwin even laughed at how ridiculous his theory was and said it was impossible without a higher being.
so EVOLUTION=JOKE

Answer 1

I agree with you there, keep it up, evolution is satan new deception.

Answer 2

I will try to answer any question you have. I will be looking back on your last posts and see what I can come up with. I'll modify this post to help you. I don't have all the answers, but I'll answer what I can.

1. You wrote: "since humans are soo developed, we can think for ourselves and speak and are very intelligent creatures, then my question is this

if evolution really happens then there would be other creatures that are just as developed as us, like we would be able to catch conversations between elephants and all other creatures, because surely if we are getting more and more developed then so are they , right? "

This is incorrect thinking. You are seeing this with hindsight. We did not HAVE TO evolve into what we did. We evolved into what we did because our adaptations where the best for the circumstances we faced. Sadly, other animals did not have the luck we did. However, looking at neanderthals you can see there were human-like species that did talk and act like us without being related at all.

2. You wrote: "can't science be wrong?"

Science is wrong many times. However, the amount of times we are wrong are very small compared to the times we are right. Your question said, "could evolution be wrong?" well, potentially and technically yes, but so we could be wrong about gravity. At least to our present knowledge in DNA, Bones, Etc. everything confirms evolution is true. The problem is that we cannot replicate ALL of evolution to be able to make it into a law.

3. "where does your conscience come from?"

Our consciousness comes from many sources. One of them is thought to be biological. It seems that certain behaviors found across all cultures are adaptations that became advantagious for us to survive. If you look at history, we have become a much less violent of a species. You may not believe that with WW1 and all the wars, but reality is that we have. We just happened to have more violence before that wasn't as wide as now (bombs), so you'd see more fights back in the day. Other evolutionary adaptations are said to include not murdering, stealing, etc.

Some morality comes to us in form of social status and culture. If you see the world cultures, all people, regardless of gods, have a form of morality. If they didn't, wouldn't you expect atheists, buddists (sp?), taoism, and other non-deity believers to be maladaptive and without any morality? To be able to function as a society, we need to discourage rape, murder, theft, etc., so morality is not only possibly innate biological and social but it can be logically advantageous.

The little voice is ourselves and what we learn to be bad or good. This is why some peoples little voice tells them not to eat pig or to murder cows.

4. "U say u don't believe in God , then u believe in evolution.
u question us and ask if we can feel, hear , smell , touch God and when we say no, then u think u have a point, so now i ask, can u HEAR,FEEL,SMELL, TOUCH, evolution, if not then we have a point "

We can see evolution through fossil records and through adaptations in our time. You further said we haven't seen a monkey become a person. That is true, but evolution never says we come from monkeys. Evolution works with certain process like natural selection, so when you think evolution is a cat having a starfish instead of a kitten, that is wrong. If a cat had a starfish instead of a kitten, that would be a strong blow AGAINST evolution because it would contradict all our knowledge in genetics. God in the other hand, has no fossils, no DNA, no anything that is testable. If he made miracles, we could be able to test if he's real, so unless you want to assert he doesn't, we can to some extent provide evidence against the god hypothesis. Another problem with the god hypothesis is that it isn't falsifiable, so it isn't real science.

5. "darwin even laughed at how ridiculous his theory was and said it was impossible without a higher being."

Darwin never said this. I don't know how to prove to you something that he never said. Even if he had, it doesn't mean that evolution will automatically be wrong. You are thinking of Darwin as being God in the sense that if he's wrong, all is wrong.

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

My conclusion to all this is that you probably are 15 and don't udnerstand evolution at all. It is tough for you to see it without a bias. You dismiss all answers that are good to the challenge and reward only those that favor you or claim you're insulted.

Answer 3

Your questions are childish. It's very obvious that you don't understand anything about Evolution beyond "monkeys-something-something". You have been given satisfying answers but you only reward the ones that agree with you, and respond to the ones who yell at you. The serious ones, the ones that try to explain evolution to you, you disregard completely.

Now you say yourself that you have all the answers you need in the Bible; why do you ask questions then?

You're obviously a twelve-year old. Get an education.

Answer 4

I've read the bible, I've been to church. I've also read about evolution. I've compared the two rationally and without bias, and I made my own decision based on what I had read. I found nothing in the Bible to make me believe that it is anything other than a story.

Answer 5

If there is a question with a logical answer, then I will have an answer for it. I don't call myself an evolutionist, that term sounds made up. I'd like to know what your IQ is. I think you'd probably rate pretty low.

Answer 6

First of all; Y!Answers is open to all ages, you are bound to find childish behavior.

Second; When I read answers by Christians I often read that things are this or that way "because the bible said so". That is no proof or proper answer either. i.e the childishness goes both ways.

Answer 7

If you have all the answers you need in a collection of ancient myth and half baked history, WHY DO YOU KEEP ASKING ??????

Just go away and study some more and leave this space for people with real questions.

Answer 8

have you ever actually studied evolution? i don't think the bible covers that subject. i would love to believe i'm going to live forever in heaven, but after studying science and evolution i've come to the conclusion that it's all bullshit.

Answer 9

50: SPIRITUAL PROOFS OF THE ORIGIN OF MAN

195
The proofs which we have adduced relative to the origin of the human species were logical proofs. Now we will give the spiritual proofs, which are essential. For, as we have proved Divinity by logical arguments, and have also proved logically that man exists from his origin and foundation as man, and that his species has existed from all eternity, now we will establish spiritual proofs that human existence—that is, the species of man—is a necessary existence, and that without man the perfections of Divinity would not appear. But these are spiritual proofs, not logical proofs.
We have many times demonstrated and established that man is the noblest of beings, the sum of all perfections, and that all beings and all existences are the centers from which the glory of God is reflected—that is to say, the signs of the Divinity of God are apparent in the realities of things and of creatures. Just as the terrestrial globe is the place where the rays of the sun are reflected—as its light, its heat and its influence are apparent and visible in all the atoms of the earth—so, in the same way, the atoms of beings, in this infinite space, proclaim and prove one of the divine perfections. Nothing is deprived of this benefit; either it is a sign of the mercy of God, or it is a sign of His power, His greatness, His justice, His nurturing providence; or it is a sign of the generosity of God, His vision, His hearing, His knowledge, His grace and so on.
Without doubt each being is the center of the shining 196 forth of the glory of God—that is to say, the perfections of God appear from it and are resplendent in it. It is like the sun, which is resplendent in the desert, upon the sea, in the trees, in the fruits and blossoms, and in all earthly things. The world, indeed each existing being, proclaims to us one of the names of God, but the reality of man is the collective reality, the general reality, and is the center where the glory of all the perfections of God shine forth—that is to say, for each name, each attribute, each perfection which we affirm of God there exists a sign in man. If it were otherwise, man could not imagine these perfections and could not understand them. So we say that God is the seer, and the eye is the sign of His vision; if this sight were not in man, how could we imagine the vision of God? For the blind (that is, one born blind) cannot imagine sight; and the deaf (that is, one deaf from birth) cannot imagine hearing; and the dead cannot realize life. Consequently, the Divinity of God, which is the sum of all perfections, reflects itself in the reality of man—that is to say, the Essence of Oneness is the gathering of all perfections, and from this unity He casts a reflection upon the human reality. Man, then, is the perfect mirror facing the Sun of Truth and is the center of radiation: the Sun of Truth shines in this mirror. The reflection of the divine perfections appears in the reality of man, so he is the representative of God, the messenger of God. If man did not exist, the universe would be without result, for the object of existence is the appearance of the perfections of God.
Therefore, it cannot be said there was a time when man was not. All that we can say is that this terrestrial globe at one time did not exist, and at its beginning man did not appear upon it. But from the beginning which has no beginning, to the end which has no end, a Perfect Manifestation always exists. This Man of Whom we speak is not every man; we mean the Perfect Man. For the noblest part 197 of the tree is the fruit, which is the reason of its existence. If the tree had no fruit, it would have no meaning. Therefore, it cannot be imagined that the worlds of existence, whether the stars or this earth, were once inhabited by the donkey, cow, mouse and cat, and that they were without man! This supposition is false and meaningless. The word of God is clear as the sun. This is a spiritual proof, but one which we cannot at the beginning put forth for the benefit of the materialists. First we must speak of the logical proofs, afterward the spiritual proofs.

Answer 10

If you had all the answers you needed you wouldn't be asking questions of people you think don't have answers, would you?
Regardless you're not asking a question here, please stop using Y!A as a soapbox. If you have a question ask one, if you don't answer a question asked or move along.

Answer 11

I have read the entire Bible and studyed it extensivley..and that is why i am not a Christian.

If you care at all about what is true..
