so if evolution is wrong?

Question

and there is no prove well according to christians and that life on earth is only 5000 years old or what ever you christians say why are we teaching evolution in schools why are we teaching our children, your children, christians children all about evolution if it suppose to be wrong.. why are we educating the children about what the planet was like billions of years ago,dinosaurs,etc, if all those millions of scientist's are wrong because they cant prove it(according to christians)

my son came home from school today and said dad 'i like dinosaurs. where have they gone now' what am suppose to tell him ' oh son the goverment education sytem is all wrong they should not be teaching you about monsters that lived on this planet millions of years ago' because according to christians it never happened

so why are we teaching kids about evolution,dinosaurs

bama your a hypocrite your talking about the teacher..teaching the pupil and then the person who tought the teacher and so on..but that is how religion works

and as for you slayer your not giving your kids the option to belief what they want your brainwashing your kids and that is wrong

Answer 1

Because we have a PRANKSTER GOD!!!
He put the bones in the ground to test our faith in him....

GOD: "HAHAHAHAHAHA, I'm killing me, I'm so funny!

Simple truths: there is a mountain of scientific, verifiable, measurable evidence to support the theory of evolution...and the research continues and discovers new things all the time.
There IS NOT A SHRED of evidence for creationism.

Look at the issue from a balance of probabilities...masses of scientific evidence...or a man made book (often changed/edited/translated) of fairy stories and a bunch of crack pots...now which is more likely?

Answer 2

Not all Christians are of the every-word-is-literal-truth variety.

Most understand what's symbolic and allegorical. They are happy to accept that people 2000 years and more ago didn't understand the mechanisms or timescales through which the world was created, or why rainbows occur, or a lot of other stuff - and couldn't have understood them even if God had explained them in words of one syllable. For those people, that doesn't have to undermine their belief - they believe it's God's work, but done with more subtlety than can be encapsulated in an easily portable volume that's mainly about faith, not science.

As an aside, I don't know what the fundamentalists make of parables. "Okay, so they're, like, fictionalised stories that Jesus told to make a point. But they're in the Bible so they must also be literally true. Or was Jesus a liar? That can't be right. My head hurts."

Answer 3

Its not wrong, and neither is creationism. They go hand in hand. No one knows Gods time or time frame. From the time He first put life here and when He put people here could be those millions and millions of years that the dinosaurs and all of the other evolutionary findings took place. The bible says God created the world in 6 days. How long was gods day? The bible also says no one can know Gods time. Pick up a bible and study it to find these answers. I hope this helps.

Answer 4

Evolution being taught in schools is certainly not a proof of it. Religion has become taboo in schools because of people (such as you apparently) who opposed it and lobbied to have it removed. As someone mentioned, it used to be taught that the world was flat, and people who said otherwise were even killed as heretics! Does that mean people who believed in a spherical earth were wrong? I've never known a Christian to question the existence of dinosaurs. We just don't believe they lived *millions* of years ago. Interestingly enough, fossils and bones are found in places that have only become inhabited by humans in more recent times.

Answer 5

Okay dude, does the Bible really say Earth is only 5000 years old? God created the Earth in six days and rested on the seventh he rested. Or did He???? (And here is the bit I really find cool) the Hebrew word for day is yon but here it is yon can mean day, generation or era which means dinosaurs could have existed with the other animals for a yon then God decided to end them. Then God made the rest humans and such then He rested perhaps?

Anyway Dinosaurs probably existed.

Answer 6

There are most certainly serious flaws in both perspectives, conclusive evidence has proven discrepancies that are irrefutable in context of "dark ages" dogma and adherents of "blind faith" paradigm's.

On the other hand, empirical science has still not proven that evolution is factual, it is theoretical only and although genetic fitness is understood as being part of the process of natural selection, the link between the species is still not proven, commonly refered to as the missing link.

The next question that must be faced, is that if there is a bridge of lifeforms between species, which after extensive research, have never been found, why is that process of mutation still not occurring.

There are many broader questions to be asked, that leaves the current standard of education being taught in schools sadly deficient and reflects the limited knowledge of those in positions of authority to impose such theories as factual, have we really transcended the "dark ages" at all when empirical science begins to "mirror" the unquestionable standards similar to the monolithic dogma presented by the church in bygone ages.

Answer 7

Evolution is taught in schools because some scientists declared it was right. Now to look at any evidence that contradicts it, they would have to admit they might be wrong. Men, especially those who have gotten rich or famous promoting one idea, don’t like anything that might show them to be wrong. That is why they are afraid to allow creationism to be taught along with evolution.

Why do many believe evolution is correct? Because that is what their teacher taught them. Why does the teacher believe it? Because that is what his teacher taught him, and so on… Many today that believe in evolution have never looked at any of the evidence against it. How can you come to a fair decision of what you believe to be true if you have not looked at all of the evidence?

Tell your son, that dinosaurs did in fact exist, but it was not millions of years before men. Dinosaurs and men existed together. That is how men were able to draw them in petroglyphs in the Grand Canyon and in Natural Bridges National Park (USA). That explains the clay figures found in Mexico and the images of dinosaurs on Inca burial stones in South America. That explains such evidence from all over the world.

But then again, since you believe in evolution, I’ll bet you’ve never seen this, nor any of the other evidence that conflicts with the theory of macro-evolution.

Answer 8

Evolution can be proven with evidence. That's the big difference between religion and science.

Believe whatever you like but don't deny something supported by evidence in favour of myth and superstition. Children should not be brain washed into blindly accepting something. Let them make up their own minds having weighed up the evidence. We've been teaching children to accept religion based upon blind faith for far too long. It has to stop.

Finally, in common with many other free thinkers, I don't need a god to keep my behaviour under control. I value other people in their own right and believe in the goodness of others. Why do people think only religious people have moral standards?

Answer 9

Bible believers have no problem with the existence of leviathan, behemoth, and tanniyn -- just that we are convinced that "scientists" have decided that the "dinosaur" age existed so many millions of years ago. They never taught that before 1841.

And how do they know the dinosaur fossils were that old? Well, they determined that by the age of the rocks in which they found the fossils.

One might ask, how did they determine the age of those rocks? Well, because of the fossils that were found in them.

And I think even conservative Christians would say more like 6000 years, rather than 5,000 years.

If you son "likes dinosaurs", maybe you should find some of the old carvings (I'm not sure whether they might be Mayan or others) of people riding on dinosaurs.

Answer 10

So if faith is wrong?
Evolution is the most logical thing you could teach at school. A school cannot only be christian based, what about the children of other religions? Why do you assume everyone in the U.S are Christians?Also, Christianity cannot be proven! Why dont you be more opened minded and let your children figure it out by themselves.Why do you think everyone agrees that religion should stay out of schools!

Answer 11

The Bible tells us that the whole world lies in wickedness.

Do you really suppose that wickedness will teach what is true ?


If man is in rebellion agaist God - and looking at the world, that is quite obvious - is rebellious man going to obediently teach the truth ?

Are you going to believe what God says ? Or rebellious man ?

Of course if you believe what God says, there will be a cost - still it's nothing, to be compared with the reward.

By the way, science has conclusively proved that Evolution was quite impossible. You may be surprised to learn that. Still it has been convincingly proved. It has been known for quite some time.

They have nothing to put in it's place.

You have a problem.
