Evolution or creation?

Question

Me? Creation.

But what about alla dat dead monkey people they found in Africa? So are scientists saying that Jesus was a monkey? I'm losing my faith here, help.

Answer 1

The evidence strongly supports evolution. In fact, I see almost no evidence for creation of living forms by some higher power or agency. One evidence of evolution is that it is still going on today, in the form of antibiotic-resistant microbes.

Answer 2

Evolution is creation. Creation is part of evolution. Religion was created and than evolved into what it is today. Searching for the rest of the missing information. Most only know the Sunday School version of the truth. Creationism is the knowledge to jump the academics of what will naturally evolve and skipping needless generations. The evidence of alleged evolution may be described away as the curse of Cain and his offspring to suffer the long and hard way or what would naturally occur without a parent or guardian. Where would humans be today if we had never left the Garden Of Eden? Was leaving God's plan? Someones fibbing here. So, they are one and the same. The time frame is just shortened. Some genetics might just be fine tuning. One day soon we will all find out who where and why.

Answer 3

ok, boy. You want some real help? I want to recommend you to a certain professor who is an expert in this, since I am not. He has systematically picked apart evolution and turned it on it's head. And he is not the only one. About the new "lucy" they found in Africa? I would give it a few months and check back around the camps. Basically, do not jump to conclusions. And for the love of God do not let the peer pressure you are going to get from the rest of the world on this matter tear your faith apart. There is no conclusive proof that inter-species (note: inter-species) evolution is possible. (Read Darwin's Blackbox by Michal Behe) There is volumes of evidence disproving this type of evolution, it just isn't force-fed to us in school the way evolution is.

Here is the website connecting to this creation/evolution professor. His name is Kent Hovind.

He may already have an answer to the new monkey thing but again, give it a few months. If I remember from reports, they have not yet unearthed the feet, which is a very important part off the evidence and should not be spoken for yet.

Happy Hunting, and God Bless

Answer 4

Nobody said Jesus was a monkey. Humans are descended from the same ancestor as the monkeys and apes we see today. We are not monkeys, we are humans, but we do share ancestry.

Creation is nothing but conjecture. There has never been any studies done that support it. The only evidence creationism has is it's account in a book that is it's own authority... It would be an understatement to say that it rests on very unstable ground.

Answer 5

This would of been a good question maybe 70 years ago. With our knowledge of DNA, the thing that does the actual evolving, this recent find becomes almost trivial. The question should be wether we can detect the possibility of DNA spontaneously adding new information, not changing old information or deleting genmes, and definitely not what 19th century science tells us. I am sick of evolutionists reverting to arguments made before the discovery of DNA instead of accepting the fact that genetic material is incapable of producing the new information that would be required to change monkeys into people.
just because a method of science is old does not mean it is wrong, look at Calculus for example. But we should be willing to accept technological improvements, There is a reason we are not using slide rules anymore, and there is a reason that we should have concentrated on DNA in relation to evolution ten years ago and either of seriosly revised the theory or ditched it by now.
In regard to the staying with the new is often better argument, I would like to comment on how often and thoroughly defenses of the Christian Faith have been written. Like Evolutionists, Christians could have stuck with 19th century arguments, but instead they have continuosoly updated their apologies(arguments) based on modern findings and have made sure that they remain relevant in addition to remaining true to the faith.

So in conclusion, right now your faith is being shaken by what is at best an even shkier faith, the shakier one being evolution.

Answer 6

Well, the universe was created out of the big bang, and it has certainly evolved. So, I can't see what the problem is?

Science has no place for implicit faith, and no scientific concept is entirely sealed in concrete. That's where creationists fall over when criticising evolution. Evolution is not something we believe in. It is something we know has happened, is happening, and we are trying to understand it. It's never a case of whether it is true or not - the understanding of evolution is itself evolving.

Implicit faith in the Bible creation never evolves. Nobody can question the age of the Earth, as if the guy who worked it out from the ancestry mentioned in the Bible could never be wrong.

Science always allows for its theories to be wrong or incomplete, as it moves on to find the truth.

Answer 7

Alyssa D is absolutely correct. These findings are too often promoted without peer review and often facts have been either left out or undiscovered. Some more time is needed to get the best picture there. Past discoveries have often left out that some of the bones collected were found in various locations miles away or that human bones were found very close to the alleged find and so on. Never fully accept priliminary findings.

Answer 8

Dude, no one is saying that Jesus was a monkey. Our species has been around for 200,000 to 250,000 years, a hundred times longer than 2000 years. Before us, there were other species of hominids. We are separated from our common ancestor with chimpanzees by 6.5 MILLION years. For our common ancestor with monkeys you have to go even further back.

Does everything written in the Bible have to be taken as strictly literally true?, like instructions to kill those who lie in the name of God (Zechariah 13:3) - that would worry a lot of creationists if people took it as strict truth.

It is up to you, religion is supposed to be a matter of faith anyway isn't it?, not science.

Answer 9

Go back further in time. Life exists on this world because God created it. He has stood back and watched it evolve into something wonderful, just touching something here and there.

They say that the first homo sapiens was a woman. She mutated just enough to be a more successful human. She might have been Eve. She might have been the mother of Adam. She could have, in her own way, been the mother of both since her genetic markers are found throughout the human race. Who is to say that God didn't give her a little push, a little edge, to make her more successful?

Creation PLUS evolution.
