Who believes in evolution?

Question

So, many people that we came from evolution and that humans were not always humans, but who has a foundation for these beliefs? Using the Bible prove that we did come from evolution.

Answer 1

Every fossil, every observation in biology points to evolution. There is nothing that goes against it or points to a different way to scientifically explain modern diversity. There is not one fossil or one piece of DNA that does NOT point to evolution. It would be hard NOT to see the concrete evidence, and only those blinded by faith can do this.

Evolution is 100% world-wide accepted fact, including the evolution of man.

There is ZERO evidence for a higher being causing anything. This is why people who are religious need faith, you can't see or study the actions of a deity, by definition. Evolution has ZERO faith and ALL evidence.

Scientists (real ones) have been studying and supporting evolution for over 150 years, and still nothing has pointed to creationism. There is clear links and transitional forms between everything in the fossil record to the Class-Family level, if not Genus-Species level. And this includes humans, which there are several 'missing links' which are well described and studied, people just choose to ignore this. Sure, there are still things we don't know, but that's why science is not stagnent and dead. We learn more every day, that's what happens when you keep an open mind and follow the scientific method.

There are some areas of evolution in which all of the pieces have not been found in the fossil record, but there is no counter theory that has even ONE piece of evidence that can not easily be explained by evolution.

Let me turn the question around, if Creationism was correct and science could definitively prove Creationism (and thus the existence of God), why would they not? That would be the greatest scientific discovery in the history of the world. No one would pass that up to maintain the 'status quo'. There is no conspiracy to hide creation evidence. Anyone who knows real scientists knows they are glory-mongers first. They love to prove others wrong to enhance their own standing. And if any scientist could prove Creation/God, it would've been done a long time ago.

Go to a museum, take a class in biology, go to reputable sites on the Internet (like AAAS: http://www.aaas.org/news/press_room/evolution or http://www.talkorigins.org ) and find out for yourself.

Answer 2

The Bible is great for "guidance" but is a very, very unreliable source for factual information. 1 Kings 7 clearly 'proves' that pi = exactly 3 (obviously wrong!). Genesis places the earth's age at about 8-9000 years old (again, easily disproved!). So you can't use the bible to prove evolution, you can only use common sense, logic, and observation of the facts and evidence.

(Judges 5:31 'proves' the sun goes around the earth, Chronicles 16:30 'proves' the earth doesn't even rotate (!) which is confirmed by Job 9:6 (showing that instead, the earth is resting on four pillars or is perhaps flat (Ezekiel 4:2), and the stars you see at night are but a few miles away (Revelation 6:13), and on and on and on...)

It's a fine read, and some fairly good guidance, but you cannot 'prove' ANYTHING with the bible!

Based on the naivety of your question, I strongly urge you to READ some of it before you expect it to help you realistically assess any scientifically proven ideas! Science works by proposing explanations and then gladly replacing those explanations if a better working alternative comes along. Religion by contrast is dogmatic, and continues to cling to a false notion of innerrancy even when confronted with overwhelming evidence...

Answer 3

Sadly, sure. I don't comprehend how they are able to manage the cognitive dissonance. You aren't good-informed for the reason that you don't admire that thought is the maximum degree in technology. It's no longer a bet. It is ignorant to mention "JUST a thought". The usual ancestor of all apes (adding persons and chimps) is a monkey and that may be confirmed in your pride. It does no longer rely at the thought of evolution. It's a reality. Theories do not need evidence which best applies in arithmetic. Theories have proof. There is not any proof of a god of any style. Theories are falsifiable. That's a function, no longer a computer virus. If proof is produced that suggests a different thought or this one demands amendment, then we found out whatever and are grateful for it. Religion does no longer have that function. And it's requred. So construction through a god isn't ready of being a thought. Since the invention of mitochodrial DNA ancestry can also be discovered through genetic mapping and we don't want bones to confirm the idea. Theories make predictions and can be utilized to broaden different theories and open up utterly new strains of inquiry. The thought of evolution is valuable for the reason that is works, no longer always for the reason that it's reality. Evolution is reality however usual decision is a thought. Bottom line is that it really works. God as an evidence does not paintings for us and isn't relatively an reply in that regard. Its an excuse to not suppose approximately it.

Answer 4

"In Genesis it says that "God commanded the water to bring forth life". This is indeed what evolution claims came about over millions of years. Don't let God's mechanism of creation be a problem either way. If we evolved - it was under the care and by the plan of our wonderful creator."

This answer is a least a bit better than the usual, in that it at least seems to acknowledge that evolution did happen. The problem is that it assumes that evolution is God's method of creation. This introduces yet another untestable and unbased assumption. As others have stated, the evidence for evolution is mountainous, and the evidence for God is nonexistent. Don't add things into the equation for which there is no evidence or necessity just because you 'feel' like they should be there. Occam's Razor anyone?

Answer 5

I believe in evolution.

> Using the Bible prove that we did come from evolution.
The fossil record and experimentation support the theory of macroevolution. There is so much evidence that there, that if evolution weren't fact, then the fossil record would be deceitful.
The Bible says God created the Earth. God is not the Deceiver. The Bible does not say the Deceiver helped create the Earth.

Therefore, Evolution must be fact, because if it weren't, then the Deceiver would have had to have helped create the Earth.

Answer 6

Using the Bible has nothing to do with science as being a fact. Prove that some crazy man from Idaho didn't write part of the Bible because it is what he wanted to believe. Science proves that evolution has occurred. I'm not saying that having Christian beliefs is wrong, but think about it. Really, just think about it.

Answer 7

First, it isn't quite correct to say that humans were not always humans. It is more correct to say that humans did not always exist. The first fossil homo sapien (human) dates about 1 million years ago. Before that time we have fossils of hominoids (or creatures that haves some resemblence to modern day humans but are otherwise not human). There are now many types of hominoids (about 15 that I know of) dating back 6-7 millions of years. One type of hominoid was likely our ancestor while the others went extinct without having any relationship to us. The record for this comes from all the fossils found in the world. And every year more fossils are found further supporting evolution. These fossils are kept at research centers throughout the world.

Answer 8

The Evolutionary/Uniformitarian Model is severe misinterpretation of the data equal to the ludicrous "Flat Earth Theory". Life materialized on Earth via a mass polybiological explosion of life (Spontaneous Polybioglogical Mass Profusionism: SPMP) in which the entire genetic species "Pool of Life" with all its variety emerged contemporaneously within a "Geocrucible Effect".

Subsequently, this original Pool of Life was subject to periodic extinction level events eroding percentile levels of its original collection through cosmocataclysms affecting the entire Solar System, not merely the Earth alone. Thus, the Geological Column was laid down "suddenly" precipitated by periodic celestial onslaughts of transterrestrial bombardment, and this violent process generated hydraulic stratification processes that created layering of material due to the aquatic nature of the Earth and the displacement of the oceanic waters over the continents during the cosmocataclysmic events. This resulted in the percentile entombment of species (Mass Polybiolysis) from the original Pool of Life, creating the "fossil record".

Hence, the Geological Column has been radically misinterpreted leading to skewed misconjecture, erroneous hypotheses, and false theories of fantasy that the Scientific Orthodoxy espouses as fact, but in reality is Pseudo-Science, i.e. Evolutionary Darwinism, that has persisted in a 140-year Scientific Dark Age. I'm extremely amused that so-called "scientists" (with all their PHD's) and their mindless following actually "believe" in this archaic and primitive fallacy.

Answer 9

The only people who believe in evolution are those who fail to understand that evolution isn't something one needs to "believe" in. Unlike a religion, it isn't something that anyone needs to have "faith" in -- it's just a scientific explanation that ties together observed facts. In other words, it's a theory -- more or less like the theory of gravity, or electricity, or nuclear energy. Scientists don't have to have "faith" in the theories of gravity or evolution. They don't have to go into special buildings every Sunday & sing songs about invisible people with supernatural powers in order to keep on "believing." They don't have to read any ancient books to maintain their faith & keep on "believing" in gravity or evolution or what makes an electric light work. Since evolution is not a "belief," hardly anyone that knows what it's all about has any need to "believe" in it.

Answer 10

I can't use the bible to prove evolution. I can use science. I can, apparently, use the bible to prove that 2 of each 1.5 million species can fit onto a boat. That is something that science can't prove.
