Are there any christians who accept the theory of evolution.?

Answer 1

Yes until I did my research :-)

DNA is essential for life to exist but DNA can only be produced by life. How, when no life existed, did DNA come into existence?

Your brain has 120 billion cells and 130 trillion chemical/electronic connections, to believe this "evolved" from a single celled algae is more faith than I'll ever have.

Answer 2

What is the Catholic position concerning belief or unbelief in evolution? The question may never be finally settled, but there are definite parameters to what is acceptable Catholic belief.

Concerning cosmological evolution, the Church has infallibly defined that the universe was specially created out of nothing. Vatican I solemnly defined that everyone must "confess the world and all things which are contained in it, both spiritual and material, as regards their whole substance, have been produced by God from nothing" (Canons on God the Creator of All Things, canon 5).

The Church does not have an official position on whether the stars, nebulae, and planets we see today were created at that time or whether they developed over time (for example, in the aftermath of the Big Bang that modern cosmologists discuss). However, the Church would maintain that, if the stars and planets did develop over time, this still ultimately must be attributed to God and his plan, for Scripture records: "By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all their host [stars, nebulae, planets] by the breath of his mouth" (Ps. 33:6).

Concerning biological evolution, the Church does not have an official position on whether various life forms developed over the course of time. However, it says that, if they did develop, then they did so under the impetus and guidance of God, and their ultimate creation must be ascribed to him.

Concerning human evolution, the Church has a more definite teaching. It allows for the possibility that man’s body developed from previous biological forms, under God’s guidance, but it insists on the special creation of his soul.

Answer 3

Actually, if the first person is talking about all Christians, they are wrong. Yes, there are plenty of Christians who accept the theory of evolution.

Answer 4

There are many millions of Christians who accept the theory of evolution and other modern scientific ideas. Fundamentalist Christians are one of many types of believers, as are catholics, protestants, Christian Scientists, non denominational Christians, Unitarians and so on, and each group has a slightly different take on how literally to interpret the bible.

Answer 5

there shouldnt be anyone who believes or accepts the theory of evolution. but there are some who do!

Yes.

however, one must consider the fact that there is an evolution of learning to Create the existence of mankind. And there must also be understood that NOT all christianity KNOWs the truth of the creation Beliefs either.

When Moses saw the creation of the earth, the vision he beheld may have taken SEVEN days to behold it all. So on the first day He beheld the son of God create the heavens and the earth. etc.
But all things existed before Our creation was began.
Paul wrote that a day with the lord is as a thousand years to man.
The Father God said to Adam the "DAY" you eat the fruit of the forbidden tree, you will die. Notice that when Adam died he was about the age of 946 years. that might mean that adam died in the same day he ate the forbidden fruit, it also might proclaim that Adam couldve died only after living some 54 years. ( or whatever the remaining years equal?) Now Adam couldve lived a thousand years prior to this day or many days with the LORD but generally because abraham was commanded to circumsice his children on the eighth day I tend to believe that adam ate the fruit 1,054 years after he was created. Also it must be noted that he was formed from the dust but this could also pertain to a Ressurrection of the body he had in a more previous life as well. such is the statement that exists in the book of revelation! From Everlasting to Everlasting. We are ressurected and Saved from the deaths of mortality.

Answer 6

My Catholic pal believes in theistic evolution and is constructive that God replaced into the reason of the massive Bang... yet many Christians, as a results of a much extra literal interpretation of the Bible and the ensuing cognitive dissonance this style of conflict between truth & mythology yields, journey a psychological conflict which forces them to settle for not what they understand to be authentic yet what they carry to be authentic.

Answer 7

Are there any fundamental christians who understand evolution? Or do they all think it means we came from monkeys? I've yet to hear any christian theories on why there are fossils that appear to be a link between apes and humans (Australopithecus).

Answer 8

That's the official position of the catholic crutch - oops, church - unless Pope Nazinger - oops, Ratzinger (the former Hitler Youth member) - has his way and changes it back. I'll sure he would quickly follow that change in belief with geocentrism.

There are some other christians who have one foot in reality, such as unitarians. Cretinism - oops, creationism - is an idiotology - oops, ideology - of bastard christians - oops, baptists - and eviljackals - oops, evangelicals.

Answer 9

Although many Christians do not hold to a literal meaning of the creation story, IMHO, I do not see how a person can say that they believe the bible and hold to the theories of evolutionary thinking. If you throw out Adam & Eve and a direct creation, you have to throw out many many parts of the bible. It all hangs together....

I do not believe in what most people say about evolution because it is in direct oppostion to what the bible teaches.

you can't straddle the fence for long without suffering extreme pain.....

Answer 10

Yes, there are many of us Christians who believe that God is the creator of the laws of nature and set them into motion. Many Christians are not "literalists" meaning we don't take the creation story literally - that the world was created in 7 days, etc.

Answer 11

Cool topic. You got Christians vs. Christians. Oops, I'm anti-conflict.
