Why do religious people never listen?

Question

Time and again I read things such as
"The theories of evolution and the big bang CANNOT be proven! "
(THOUGH YOU NEVER SAY ACCORDING TO WHOM)

your god / gods / things cannot be proven SO WHY DO YOU BELIEVE IN THEM???????????????????????????????

Answer 1

Never? That is a sweeping statement don't you think?

Answer 2

where most get confused is that they take the seven days it took to create the earth, and the beginning of man as a literal day. yet if you researched the bible and looked with discernment you would soon learn that a day is only a period of time. the bible itself says a thousand years is like a day in the eyes of Jehovah. or god depending on the bible your reading. what it is saying that in gods eyes or view time has no meaning so a day back then could have been ten million years. so Darwin on the theory of evolution which many feel the scientific community has proven . can and does fit into the bibles time. time can only be traced back in the bible to the time of Adam's birth . So no one can honestly say how long it took god or Jehovah to create the earth as we know it. look at a house any house , it has a designer , one who lays out the plans, a builder, one who takes those plans and does the work, and the person who lives in it., can you honestly say that the house was not created by someone or something. Not if you use common sense and use discernment so the only question i ever ask those who claim they believe the theory of evolution is who created the big bang which allowed it all to happen.

Einstein said: “condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance.”

Is evolution really scientific? When there is solid evidence proving something, that is what we should all believe, isn’t it? It wouldn’t be realistic to reject something that has been fully proved to be a scientific fact, would it? . . . I have here some comments of scientists that are very interesting regarding this point. Is evolution really scientific?

The “scientific method” is as follows: Observe what happens; based on those observations, form a theory as to what may be true; test the theory by further observations and by experiments; and watch to see if the predictions based on the theory are fulfilled. Is this the method followed by those who believe in and teach evolution?

Astronomer Robert Jastrow says: “To their chagrin [scientists] have no clear-cut answer, because chemists have never succeeded in reproducing nature’s experiments on the creation of life out of nonliving matter. Scientists do not know how that happened.”—The Enchanted Loom: Mind in the Universe (New York, 1981), p. 19.

Evolutionist Loren Eiseley acknowledged: “After having chided the theologian for his reliance on myth and miracle, science found itself in the unenviable position of having to create a mythology of its own: namely, the assumption that what, after long effort, could not be proved to take place today had, in truth, taken place in the primeval past.”—The Immense Journey (New York, 1957), p. 199.

According to New Scientist: “An increasing number of scientists, most particularly a growing number of evolutionists . . . argue that Darwinian evolutionary theory is no genuine scientific theory at all. . . . Many of the critics have the highest intellectual credentials.”—June 25, 1981, p. 828.

Physicist H. S. Lipson said: “The only acceptable explanation is creation. I know that this is anathema to physicists, as indeed it is to me, but we must not reject a theory that we do not like if the experimental evidence supports it.” (Italics added.)—Physics Bulletin, 1980, Vol. 31, p. 138.

Are those who advocate evolution in agreement? How do these facts make you feel about what they teach?

The introduction to the centennial edition of Darwin’s Origin of Species (London, 1956) says: “As we know, there is a great divergence of opinion among biologists, not only about the causes of evolution but even about the actual process. This divergence exists because the evidence is unsatisfactory and does not permit any certain conclusion. It is therefore right and proper to draw the attention of the non-scientific public to the disagreements about evolution.”—By W. R. Thompson, then director of the Commonwealth Institute of Biological Control, Ottawa, Canada.

“A century after Darwin’s death, we still have not the slightest demonstrable or even plausible idea of how evolution really took place—and in recent years this has led to an extraordinary series of battles over the whole question. . . . A state of almost open war exists among the evolutionists themselves, with every kind of [evolutionary] sect urging some new modification.”—C. Booker (London Times writer), The Star, (Johannesburg), April 20, 1982, p. 19.

The scientific magazine Discover said: “Evolution . . . is not only under attack by fundamentalist Christians, but is also being questioned by reputable scientists. Among paleontologists, scientists who study the fossil record, there is growing dissent.”—October 1980, p. 88.

A point of consideration: How many believe that everything on this earth was created in six days? There are some religious groups that teach that God created everything in six 24-hour days. But that is not what the Bible says.

Genesis 1:3-31 tells how God prepared the already existing earth for human habitation. It says that this was done during a period of six days, but it does not say that these were 24-hour days. It is not unusual for a person to refer to his “grandfather’s day,” meaning that one’s entire lifetime. So, too, the Bible often uses the term “day” to describe an extended period of time. (Compare 2 Peter 3:8.) Thus the ‘days’ of Genesis chapter 1 could reasonably be thousands of years long.

Answer 4

God can be proven. Its like the wind, you cant see it but you no its there because of the effect it has on everything around it. Science cant explain everything.

Answer 5

brainwashed people almsot NEVER listen to opposing points of view, especially intelligent, logical perspectives.

many have based their entire lives on silly cult books (like the bible) and are so far wrapped up in it, that to back out of it would mean acknowledging that years of their lives were wasted on cult nonsense. people would rather continue being wrong than ever admit that they were wrong.

Answer 6

Most religions have books and those who practice the religion place great emphasis on the book. Whatever the book says goes.

Answer 7

Because you might be able to prove them wrong, and if you did that, then their whole life was a lie... would you be able to live with that?

Answer 8

why do kids still love the parents who beat them...I is impossible to answer this question because it is not rational to keep believing in fairy tales

Answer 9

But lets be mindful: "science" people can be brainwashed and narrowminded as well

Answer 10

OH YES THEY CAN AND HAVE, IF ;YOU ARE GOING TO PUT SOMETHING DOWN, YOU OUGHT TO STUDY THE WORD FIRST, MANY PHILOSOPHERS HAVE SET OUT TO PROOVE THE BIBLE TO BE WRONG ONLY TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN, READ UP.
