Why do evolutionists mock religions, when their religion (evolution) has less evidence?

Answer 1

Criticism comes easier than craftsmanship. Zeuxis (464 ~400 BC)

Answer 2

On what do you base your statement that there is less evidence for evolution than for 'religions?"

Further, what religions' stories do you think this applies to? The Hindus'? The Norse's? The Egyptians'? Or, Just the Hebrews'? Why do you think that one's the right one? Ha - trick question - the Hebrew creation myth is actually an adaptation of the Eqyptian creation myth.

Apart from your unlikely claim, there are so many errors in your question. Have you actually thought this up or are you merely repeating something you've been told? I'm guessing the latter.

Here's the problems:

1) Evolution is not in any way a religion. The people who tell you this are trying to get you to not think. You ought not to like that. For yourself, look up the definition of religion and try to explain to yourself why evolution is a religion.

2) Evolution is a scientific theory. What is a scientific theory? A scientific theory is the best explanation for a large body of facts. Facts. Facts. Bits of data, mounds of data, a century of data. Evolution, is in fact, the best supported scientitific theory there is. A theory is also testable - that means that wherever in the world a scientist makes an assertion, another scientist can test that assertion to see if it is true. This is an integral part of science.

3) Lest you be confused, electricity is a theory, gravity is a theory, relativity is a theory...

4) What makes science different from religion? Religion has a set of beliefs. These beliefs do not change, regardless of any argument or evidence put against it.

Science, of which evolution is a part - again, not a religion, but a part of intellectual inquiry with very rigid parameters. Because a theory must be testable, the theory can change. The theory of evolution has changed over time, accommodating new data. Religion will not and can not do this. Evolution is not a religious doctrine, although MOST religious people acknowledge the reality of evoltuion. Because of this, I doubt that even your statement that 'evolutionists mock religions' is true - since most people who believe the facts of evolution also have a religion.

No one has 'faith' in evolution. People can read it, understand it, test it, prove it to the best of our current abilities.

These unchangeable beliefs, by the way - each religion, interestingly, has this feature. Your next task, after you ponder how you are allowing your mind to be controlled on this matter, is to ponder the significance of each religion thinking they are the one? Why are the Muslims wrong to claim this and not you?

Answer 3

Evolution isn't a religion, nor does it in any way attempt to prove or disprove religion on it's own. In the hands of ignorant and narrow-minded people it can be twisted to serve that kind of purpose. In and of itself the Theory of Evolution has nothing to do with religion and it is based purely on scientific fact and discovery. It is also not a case of evidence supporting one view or the other, science is based on fact, religion is based on faith... neither one is disproved or harmed by the other except in the minds of unaccepting, ignorant people. You can present all the evidence you want to support either subject but when it comes down to it, people are allowed to believe what they want and no one has the right to tell anyone what they believe is wrong... everyone is allowed to have thier own opinion and people should be accepting of different views.

Answer 4

Whoa.........okay now I see why your last question was insulting.

Evolution has more evidence than any religion. Just because you choose not to believe facts doesn't magically turn them false.

Evolution is a Theory held in science. Religion is purely personal based on faith. BIG DIFFERENCE.

We do not mock religions (at least not all of us) but we do tend to mock people who squeeze their eyes shut, stick their fingers in their ears and repeat "NAH NAH I CAN'T HEAR YOU" over and over again when we present them with evidence.

Answer 5

Evolutionists are only looking at things from the point of what has already been created. something has to be created before it can evolve.but in the physical universe there is much evidence as to how things evolved after they were created.

Answer 6

Reverse you statement then it will be true. Because YOU BELIEVE in GOD, and BELIEVING does not require any EVIDENCE and just to clarify the BIBLE is not EVIDENCE since it has been re-written and re-interpreted more times than there are people on this planet. Why don't YOU stop bashing other peoples beliefs until you are ready to logically look at your own.

Answer 7

They will learn their lessons.
They looked down upon the divine religion by judging the mass of false believers and by not reading the Holy Books. Some of them would come to a deadlock, others would start reading and finding in the Sacred Scriptures wonder solutions for the global problems of our days and they would surrender. In reality, already many revolutionits have entered before the presence of the One True God.

Answer 8

alright first of all evolutionist isnt a religion. and what evidence does creationism have? the bible? that is the greatest work of fiction the world has ever known.

Answer 9

You can demonstrate evolution with a petrie dish, a bacteria culture and some anti-biotic. This is a repeatable experiment which has been done thousands of times in biology classrooms. When you have a repeatable experiment which demonstrates gods let me know.

Answer 10

Not all evolutionistst mock religions. Why do some Christians mock any other belief but their own? They both have about the same amount of evidence.
