Do creationists ever do their own research on evolution before they attempt to argue against it?

Question

It sure doesn't seem like it.

Answer 1

Judging by the answers I've seen here, I'd have to say no. Unless you can call copying and pasting nonsense from highly questionable websites, dressed up to sound like science to the gullible, 'doing research'.


Edit: Gary up there: I was educated in Catholic schools, and know the Bible all too well. You schmuck.

Answer 2

Yup, they just say, "I know I didn't come from an ape so Creationism must be right" As if that is the only other choice. Also, they don't even study Evolution at all. Hence the famous ape retort. Creationist are mostly ignorant or down right uneducated. The ones that actually study it go in with a closed mind and come out with the same information and beliefs as they went in with.

Answer 3

Most creationists play on ignorance and tend to try to exploit things uneducated people will end up falling for.


There are no solid, well researched creationist arguments.


Creationists tend to be very good at talking the talk, are usually good at coaxing people into taking their side and missing the point of the other side. That and they usually ignore evidence and play on irrelevancies in an attempt to divert peoples attention away from the evidence.


That and they're REALLY good at using old outdated science literature to make their arguments. It's very common to see creationists cite old work and things that we know arn't true anymore anyway.

Answer 4

I have to say, something really weird happened the other day. I was standing next to a printing press, and the thing caught on fire, and exploded. Suddenly, after the smoke cleared, I saw that the explosion had created my 900+ page history book that covers from way-back-when to 2005! And there wasn't a single typographical error! Now, if I told you that story, you might think I was insulting your intelligence by expecting you to believe it. And yet, you expect me to believe that the entire universe, as well as life itself, came from something the size of a pinhead that went KA-BOOM!!! and everything started evolving! Yes, I do happen to conduct some research when dealing with certain topics applying to evolution. Do you realize that it takes faith, if not even MORE faith, to believe in evolution as it does creationism? You might say that no one was really around to tell me about creation taking place; there was, in fact, and He gave us a book telling about it. However, was there any scientist recording evolution? No! Have you conducted thorough research on your own, made discoveries, combed over every single thing that scientists have discovered? Or are you simply placing your faith in THEIR word, rather than God's Word? Hope that this helps, blessings!

Genesis 1:1 NIV
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Answer 5

Yes, some do. My question is do evonlution scientists ever study science before backing the evolution "theory"? Because if they did they would have refuted this "theory" long ago. It goes against all the laws of their very science.Cause and effect, Probability, and Irreducible Complexity to name but a few. You have to look no further than your own eyes. Charles Darwin said this about the human eye. "To suppose that the eye with all it's inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of sherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection (i.e. evolution), seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree." This was the founder of the theory. Speaking of Darwin, he said of transitional forms, when one species is evolved from another. Like when the fish started growing arms and legs. There should be lots of them! LIKE MILLIONS OF THEM! He said the soil should be littered by them, but in his time he used the excuse of very little fossil evidence. So here we are a century later, with millions of fossils to look at. And guess what. There are none. NONE. Not one transitional fossil. In fact evolutionists find this very disturbing. So much in fact that they started to make them up. Don't believe me, look up Nebraska man, Piltdown man, Java man, Peking man, Neanderthal man and Lucy. Each new "discovery" was jumped on and celebrated with much press and fanfare. Of course later ALL were proved fake and hoaxes with considerably less press. They are not missing a link it's the whole chain that's missing. Ask one about the Cambrian explosion that shows that all groups came into existence at the same time, to make one evolutionist say that it would lead someone to think that they were created at that time. No really? Created by Who? There in lies the problem. If the smoke and mirrors of evolution clears it leaves only one option. There is a God, He is there, and one day you will stand before Him. They fear the existence of the God that they know deep in their hearts exists. But they think they can explain it away and make it not true. Bad plan, very bad plan. Look into it and you will see it takes more faith to believe in evolution than it does creation. Please read the book listed and decide for yourself. Three chapters in you will expose the falsehood, by the end of the book you will be well on the way to the path of truth. Good luck and God Bless.

Answer 6

The evolution vs. creationism discussion has nothing to do with belief or research---it is about control. If fundamentalist Christians acquiesce on this issue, what else will they start to question and challenge, in terms of what their church spoon-feeds them? Then they might even stop voting for Republicans and sending money to TV Evangelists, etc. It really has nothing to do with science versus faith. It has to do with people's churches convincing them that there is no perspective beyond the one the church promotes.

Answer 7

I did,that's why I believe most of the theories.I researched and found that most of them seem quite logical,and that there is not much to argue over.I am still a "Creationist",I just believe that we were created to evolve.I am still learning about it though,and for the most part it is pretty interesting.

Answer 8

Do atheist ever do their own research on the Scriptures before they attempt to argue against it?

Or are they simply content to be clueless?

Answer 9

We all got taught it in school just like everyone else. Some looked further into it, some didn't but not all evolutionists know more about it than what we were all taught in school either.

Answer 10

They can't, because if they did they couldn't claim ignorance or spout off their own foolish responces honestly not knowing. For if they knew and said against it, they'd have to lie, and to lie is to sin.

So there's the logic behind that.
