Do you believe in Creation, Evolution, or Both?

Question

Do you believe in the conservative view ofCreation?
Do you believe in the Scientific Theory of Evolution?
Or do you believe that God used evolution and other natural methods to create the world?

Answer 1

I believe in the scientific theory of evolution, since most religious views of creation require belief in events that have no record of having ever happened, and often directly contradict known scientific facts.

Answer 2

I am 100 % for evolution , shifts , segregation , multiregionalism , clines and everything mechanical. I am agromic by training and believe.

God , could have after all only created the simple quantum in pair creation from the raw material of the Void. Not even matter as matter is the manifest of the quantum dancing in a fixed domain ,, quark , leptons , bosons.

So He started to cook this stuff in a Chinese wok of a universe and everything else begotten , including Life. And , we shall all return to Him , because the accounting of Universal make-up is the Void. Our proof of the is from Germany where recently in 1996 (I forgot who) proved the photon is pair matched. Therefore Creation is intact and accountable. And the final accounts reconcilation is a perfect nothing called mathematically the Void.

Say , this quantum is a spin of nothing , you get particles. If you do not restrict this quantum to a domain , you get energy. But , He's particular with time ,, along the way , He made them all "light clocks" (Zigler , 1909).(matter is light clock , i.e. a tardyon is a light clock).

The catch is ,, we still do not know what that quantum is !!! For sure we know it is terrible simple and is not a complete mathemetical vertor !!! It exist , the same both sides of the luxon wall.

If I have to choose a camp ,, I choose Evolution.
I can discount God , He don't seem to mind.

Answer 3

This question, and its variations, should have its own category listing in Yahoo Answers!

Here's my 2c worth yet again.
Creation relies on a lot of belief and the ability to dismiss all the known evidence, since ancient Greece to the present time, in the case for evolution.
Evolution, on the other hand, keeps presenting solid evidence, regardless of those who believe otherwise.
Whenever you think the final nail is driven into the coffin of Creationism, rather than come up with some compelling evidence to pull the nails out, the creationists just change coffins.
Creationists jump on every contradictory nuance, such as species interaction and interbreeding, to try and dismiss the entire concept of evolution. Yet when you present a similar argument against creationism, the response is "I don't have to understand it, I just have to believe that God did it".

Answer 4

I would say if god chose to use the act of sex to keep life on this planet he must believe in evolution.

A male and a female are two totally different versions of a human and when mated together create a totally new and unique version that has never existed. That is the definition of evolution. To change. The relative enviroment allowed for these two humans to have sex, give birth and on and on.

We didn't come from monkeys though. Monkeys came from monkeys..I think that's why creationist have a problem with the idea of evolution.

Niether side can prove without a dought the role god played in it all but it really doesn't matter. We are here and it is amazing that we have made it this far......we are a byproduct of a million years of humping! Humping is a choice in evolution. We chose our partners for the most part and just like a blonde blue eyed woman partners up with a japanese guy.... they create a beautiful version that has never exsisted. That is change and is apart of both the plans in evolution and creationism

Answer 5

I believe in the theories of evolution and the big bang. I think that god started things going and kept tinkering with the universe continuously and repeatedly and still does today. But, I do not understand why a topic like this one would cause so much argument. Why should a creationist care if someone else is an evolutionist? Personally I don't understand why people get so upset about other people's thoughts or beliefs when it doesn't affect them in the slightest. I simply do not see the point in arguing over each other's beliefs. I think that we should be able to express our beliefs without being contradicted, criticized, insulted, corrected, discriminated against, or anything else simply because of what we believe.

(By the way, I am not trying to suggest in any way that there is anything wrong with you asking this question)

Answer 6

i think in God. i think in introduction. i think in evolution. How can this be? a million. God is the 1st reason (the Intelligence at the back of 'clever layout.'). 2. introduction: God is the author of all issues. 3. Evolution is misunderstood simply by a quirk of the English language. What do you think of once you hear: Evolution of the Species? Is the observe 'species' singular or plural? If the observe 'species' is singular what's the plural of species? In the two circumstances the observe is a similar, "Species." And so people think of that as quickly on the instant of evolution of the species we are conversing approximately go-species evolution. Evolution does take place even though it in basic terms happens in the species. It does not go species traces. occasion: A mama dogs will continuously provide delivery to doggies not kittens. A mama cat will continuously provide delivery to kittens not doggies. Why is this? because of the fact all species are already created albeit not all species would yet be got here across. whilst species are comparable adequate to be drawn to a minimum of one yet another and mate the off-spring is usually a hybrid. occasion: Male Donkey + woman Horse = Mule. Mules are sterile. technological know-how teaches that for the time of fact hybrids are born infertile. further information that evolution does not go species line. a effortless ancestor? properly that is going back to a single species by some ability splitting into 2 seperate species... when you consider that hybrids are infertile how is that attainable? because of the fact of this i think in introduction with God because of the fact the writer and evolution a organic function of introduction that works in the guy species to enhance each and each particular species. This additionally explains why the two monkeys and adult males nonetheless exist. One did not evolve from the different. H

Answer 7

I have been studying Science for the last 10 years
and as for the Theory of Evolution, it is Just that a Theory.
it is basiically like trying to guess what a picture is by only looking at less than one percent of the whole picture.
There are millions of species alive today, and many more species have gone extinct over the history of this planet. also out of the billions of single life forms that have lived on this planet very few Fossils have actually been discovered.(this is the <1%)
these fossils that have been discovered have been used to map out a Theory of Evolution composed of Plateus (rungs of a ladder or steps on a staircase, but with nothing connecting the steps or rungs together) of species. but there are no fossils that have been found that are between these Plateus. for the Theory to ever become a Fact what is reqired is to find fossils that clearly show the change of one species into another (rope, rope-ladder(rungs), or chain of fossil evidence, when graphed will show a slope with horizontal flat sections) or for some currently living animal to give birth to something that is unable to reproduce with the Mother species but is able to reproduce with one that is identical to it.

An Evolutionary-Mutation would be fertile,but would have a completely different Genome from the Parent Species, unlike a normal mutation which damages the genetic code leaving the child infertile or with severe birth defects that ussually end in death, example is a mule which is the cross between a donkey and a horse. though it is similar to the parent species it is unable to reproduce with either species or with other crosses. it is there fore infertile and there for it is a mutation and is not considered a new species.

Many people have tried to claim that the Finches of Galapagos Island and other areas of the world are able to evolve. this is not the case all it is is a case of special specialization. it is simply a case of rececive genes taking dominance through variences in food availability. (the differences noticed in the Finches have been beak sizes and shapes).

As food availability changes the finches that have the genes which will enable them to make the best use of the available foods will gain dominance over those finches whose beak genes are specialized toward the food that is out of season or no longer available. there fore the average shape of the beaks will change over time in acordance to what food is readily available.

The finches have not changed species thay have just become specialized within their species. this can also cause some Genes to become extinct within a Species or Race. this is why "Race" could even be concidered to exist. Can make the Species Stronger or weaker based on what genes are lost over time.

On the other hand if the finches were no longer able to reproduce with the parent species but were only able to reproduce with other finches with the same beak size and shape then that Would mean that they had undergone Evolutionary-Mutation.
But this could only be tested in a Labratory under Precice Conditions.

Answer 8

There are lots of religious stories about creations.
I really don't accept any of them, as the evidence does not support them. All of the evidence we have supports the fact of evolution and the best explaination is the theories of evolution. Darwin's Natural Selection is the main theory, but there are others that play a part.

Answer 9

Evolution seeks to explain the mechanism by which "God" combined complex proteins into self-replicating molecules that have gone on to form the huge variety of life forms we see today.

It is not necessarily in opposition to any religion's story of creation; it is a scientific explanation based on observation and laboratory testing. It is not a belief system based on Dogma, nor does it pretend to be.

It's odd that Creationists jump all over Evolution when it's actually other religions like The Cargo Cult, the Animists, the Hindus, the Buddhists and the "Turtle on the Elephant" people who reject Genesis outright.

Answer 10

As I have had to say on this, the biology site, too many times... It does not matter what I believe, the truth does not care about my beliefs and the truth does not need my belief to be true. The theory of evolution by natural selection is supported by mountains of empirical evidence and has great predictive power thereof. Creation does not have ANY evidence to support it and can not predict next Tuesday. Your last choice is the same thing as creation. Show me the evidence of any such thing happening, or move questions such as these to the religious or philosophy section, where they belong.
