Isn't it funny that mostly Christians say there's no proof for evolution? Isn't that a sort of hypocrisy?

Answer 1

Hypocrisy, no. Brainwashing, yes.

Answer 2

They see their proof in what the Bible says. Thats all the proof they need. They dont seem to realize that the same type of proof is available for evolution.
If you read the Bible you have to have faith in what it says to believe it. I guess thats all they need.
But if you read a book about the evolution theory, there are facts in that book that are based on scientific evidence, you dont have to rely on faith to believe it. You have bibliographies, facts you can check. Things you can see. There are ways to prove that what is written in the Evo. book is true. With the Bible, there is not. So I guess they are being hypocrites by saying we cant prove evolution when the book they use to "prove' God is nothing but words. But it is more than that, there is a lot of ignorance in religion as well. (Christians dont take offense, Ignorance only means you dont know something, not that you are stupid or anything like that, Look it up, its not a negative word) They claim that evolution isnt real and the evidence is made up. But yet i know very few religious people that have ever read anything, beyond high school science class, about evolution. Yet they come in here making judgments about something they have limited knowledge of. I have read the Bible, I have read many books and articles on evolution. I am no expert on either, but i do have enough knowledge of both to debate this subject without ignorance.

that's continually the only making the powerful declare that is going first in explaining the why of the powerful declare. even if that's no longer dazzling for the opposing view to pass first. initially data is relative. what quantities to data for one man or woman doesn't for yet another. 2d of all I even ought to sparkling up that we are speaking about evolution as in worry-free descent and under no circumstances your worry-free differences. both are frequently stated as evolution, even if that's the former that I have issues of and under no circumstances the later. causes that evolution isn't authentic. a million. The static nature of species. A fossil it really is 10,000 yeas previous of a hare is an similar as a hare today. there is not any overarching worry-free descent the position this hare is somewhat in direction of that's believed "ancestor." If Dawkins "excellent prepare in the international" is to be believed we ought to be certain a moderate "regression" 2. the re-advent of daughter genes back into the be certain gene pool. Any differences that ensue should be separated off to ascertain that them to capture on in the different case they're lost back into the be certain genetic pool. the concern is there are not adequate mandatory separations. 3. the Cambrian explosion. the position over ninety p.c. of the vertebrates we've at the moment all of unexpected seem interior the fossil record. This has compelled many ideal scientists to recommend a punctuated evolution and under no circumstances a stedy one. 4. the inversion of the evolution. the tale of evolution, if we were to graph its timeline on an American football field has bacteria and different easy celled organisms from one end zone all a thanks to the opposing 20 backyard line. those easy celled organism are the most adaptable and the most reproducing organisms, and yet they're round 10 circumstances longer than the different a lot less adaptable and a lot less reproducing ones. ..back to the football field. Dinosaurs occupy from the 15 backyard line to the 5. modern animalia contained in the 5 and people are in easy terms inches. that's frankly all backwards. 5. the impossibility of abiogenesis. I understand it really is circuitously evolution, yet to deny the position it all started from is like under no circumstances celebrating your birthday. The Miller Ulray attempt through prominent projections of what change into interior the primordial soup is at maximum proper a cool attempt that has no longer something to do with the reality. there are more beneficial, yet it really is a strong initiate.

Answer 4

The issue is not who has proof of what. In religion there is always faith. However, people hold up science as always proving its statements and therefore better than religion. The fact of the matter is, much of science is conjecture that happens to fit the facts. In some cases very well. Equations from physics, for example, model phenomena quite well. However, there are flaws. In physics quantum mechanics and relativity are both thought of as "true." But they actually contradict each other.
But I digress. The issue is what proof is there regarding the question of origin. There is no proof that God created the world, in the scientific rigorous sense. But there is also no proof that evolution is true. No one has observed an example of macro evolution and no one can explain how evolution swam against the entropic stream. (The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy increases unless energy is injected into the system.)

Many non-theists claim that science has disproven God or the Bible. That is patently false. When Christians say there is no proof of evolution, they are challenging science to use its own standards. Matters of faith have different standards of evidence, as faith plays a central role.

Answer 5

No - it's truth. The fact that you believe there is no proof for God could also be true. When both sides can feasibly be true, there is not hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is to say one thing and do the opposite. To tell people it's wrong to fornicate, then go sleep around.
Hypocrisy is when you say it's wrong to teach creation in school while saying it's ok to teach evolution. Neither side really has legitimate proof. A real honest education would be to present both sides of an issue and teach the kids to think. But instead, the left wing radicals are pushing to brainwash our children by only teaching one side of an issue. I say teach both. Be fair, be open, show tolerance, and be willing to explore other beliefs. Only then will we truly learn and grow as a people. How dare you think you have the only truth? How dare you choose what my children are to learn in a public "freedom of religion" nation? Freedom means open field, fairness to all. All means every.

Answer 6

What is crazier is that they feel the NEED to challenge Evolution. I mean, they cannot hope to win with their pseudo-science BS, yet they feel they have to discredit Science.

I guess they feel Science is a threat to Christianity. Maybe it is at that. If enough people start trusting Reason and forgetting about Faith, Jesus might go out of business!

Or at least, the Fundamental, ultra-conservative brand of Christianity might fade. That's what they are so afraid of, that they won't be able to brow beat us with their "truth" anymore!

Lobik emailed me to tell me how stupid and uneducated I was because I didn't believe in Jesus Christ or Intelligent Design. He obviously doens't know the first thing about science, or he'd realize that I.D. isn't even a scientific theory. Its a rather badly formulated phillosophical one, riddled with logical fallacies.

Answer 7

The ones that say that are under-educated to even grasp the theory of evolution. Christians, on average, have lower IQ's and lower educational levels than the non-religious. This is a long-known fact. Search the net to find the studies, if you don't believe me.

Answer 8

Yes, it pretty much deflates any argument they're going to make regarding the existence of their god. :)

But what's really sad, though, is that they're simply... wrong. Outside of building a time machine and bringing back specimens of every animal from the last million years, I don't see how much more proof they can require. It amazes me how far the human brain can go to convince itself that what it wants to believe... is the truth.

Actually, I'm amazed that some people's brains can do that. Mine never has mastered the art...

Answer 9

No what's funny is that you continually moan about Christians shoving their religion down your throat, and yet at every turn I see you doing the same thing. That would be hypocrisy if you were looking for a way to use the new addition to your limited vocabulary

Answer 10

Sure, evolution's a sham, but a bearded man who lives in the sky and keeps track of everything everyone has ever done in the history of man...yeah that makes sense.

Answer 11

Science and religion are at divergent poles. However, there are some species that do evolve into higher forms, but the debate is over humans. Did they evolve from apes? I say no, because if humans are a higher form of primates, why are there still apes? Shouldn't all of them have evolved?

Therefore, I think there is more going for the idea that man was created in God's image. We have higher intelligence than other forms of life, but unfortunately some never use it.
