Why do Christians say Macroevolution is not real when there are over 100 million fossils proving otherwise?

Question

Macroevolution is not proven = another Christian Urban legend.

Answer 1

This is just a semantics game. Theological scholars, upon realizing that evolution was quickly becoming proven as fact, took it upon themselves to divide the theory as a way to take away its credibility. Unfortunately, anyone who has done the research realizes a few things about this:

Change is change, regardless of its size and scope.

Change has been witnessed thousands of times in the last 100 years, from single celled organisms to complex creatures such as finches.

"Macro" evolution is nothing more than the culmination of millions of "micro" evolutionary changes. Most of those changes occur to tissues that don't survive the fossilization process. They're still illustrated, you just have to do more work to see them.

Answer 2

Sounds about right... there are 200,000 to 300,000 known fossil species, so probably about 100 million actually fossils in collections somewhere (and billions more in the ground). And the whole fossil record shows nothing but systematic change from previously occuring, geographically overlapping, morphotypes. But somehow Creationists say this is only micro-evolution, ie. for example, every vertebrate on the planet is the same species as the microscopic vertebrate worms which first appeared in the precambrian. I see....

But the guy a few above is right, only a minority of Christians are Creationists. That's a relief.

Answer 3

I in basic terms % to renowned if the atheist can relatively grant the main remarkable answer as they're so specific that God did no longer create life? - i can tutor that the biblical version is a myth. All of genesis replaced into plagiarized from the Sumerian pills having no longer something to do with deities so "god transforming into life" is a myth. - As to proving the place life got here from, we settle for a organic technique because of the fact that that has evidence. A deity magically forming life is a myth because of the fact which you have yet to tutor a deity exists and that what youi use as a evidence is a properly shown myth. - There you have incredibly evidence and evidence and no hypothesis.

Answer 4

Actually you are right about dinasours.I mean dinasours were there were they not why believe other wise.But evolution has
to be stimulated by something. Man this is a hard question.
Well evolution is basically when things adapt and change as their enviroment does.But we can't say that a monkey gave birth to a human. Lets see how do I explain without offending anyone?
Maybe monkeys were created before man(by god) and he made neandrathals get extinct as they became less of a use to society so he replace them with smarter species.Well thats all
I've got.

Answer 5

Well, I guess I'm no longer able to claim myself as a Christian ?

I've believed in Evolution since I was a wee child... Dad taught us these things... school refined it.

I don't see Evolution as incompatible with Genesis... it's just written in a compressed time-frame.

I think those who DENY evolution are suppressing some form of latent-racism /species-hatred... "Ain't NO way I'm evolved from no damned APE !!". A fear that they aren't inherently superior by some magic wave of the finger of Michelangelo's "God Awakening Adam".

Answer 6

I have heard several devout Christians condemn dinosaur fossils to science trying to fool people into disbelieving the Bible. They honestly still believe the Earth is only 6000 years old.

Answer 7

Wow! 29+ evidences for MACROEVOLUTION from REAL science (not hokey non science like Creation Sites)....you can probably find more:

Answer 8

Ummmm, just a thought, but all those Scientists just do happen to be Christians, to the large majority, don't they?

I notice you've got three more questions that are all Christian -baiting.

Just what are you trying to achieve?

Cheers.

Answer 9

I'd like to see some. Do you have a link to an article or picture? What do they show changing into what?
