Are you an evolution creationist?

Question

Believe in both? Tell me...

Answer 1

no I am a God creation,. but mom and Dad helped.

Answer 2

Yes

Evolutionary creationist

Evolution does happen, just not as the Atheists and Agnostics here think

I mean, let's discuss the Appendix for a while.

Why hasn't genetics wiped that out of existance.

All it does is cost you $10,000 to get it taken out when it becomes inflamed or it bursts.

Worse case sceinario if you are allergic to Pen-C is it can possibly KILL you.

There is no known use or reason for the Appendix.

Now, explain the EVOLUTIONARY reason it still exists!

Atheists and Agnostics hide behind something that takes 50 million years to do anything because then they don't have to show proof.

Quite convienient.

Religion, on the other hand, has evolved and we watch it evolve all the time.

A woman now heads the Espiscopilian Church. That's evolution. It took 2,000 years since JEsus to do it, so it isn't an anomality or mutation.

People are rejecting it. In 1,000 years let's see what Natural Selection does to this evolutionary fact.

This is, of course, social evoltution.

Biochemical evolution can't be documented for 5 million or more years, because of the nature of how it works.

How can we POSSIBLY say it's the truth after only 150 years of it's existances as a postulate.

Meteorology can attempt to predict tomorrows weather
Astronomy will tell you EXACTLY when to see a brilliant meteor shower or when Saturns rings will be perfectly placed to view
Seismology says "the big one is coming" -- at least that's a prediction! They have to stand behind it, comfortable as it may seem for I could make the same statement without a PH D in seismology.

Evolution.

Make a prediction about the future of man.

Go ahead.

USE WHAT YOU KNOW about the "SCIENCE" to tell us about tomorrow.

Let's see if it stands the test of time.

Answer 3

I am both a Christian and a professional astronomer. I see the universe around us as the result of the act of creation we describe with the "Big Bang" model. The laws of the universe being the consequence of that creation event; the resulting planets, creatures and ultimately people are also acts of the Creator. The mechanism He used to bring about human existence was evolution. This fits with the idea of God generally acting within the framework of the physical laws He has created for us: miraculous events being by definition exceptions.

Answer 4

Yep, I believe in both and neither, depending on how you look at things. Both because a divine source kicked off creation, while scientific theories like evolution explain the details of how it all actually works. Neither because I think our ideas about creation and evolution are incomplete or innacurate and need further examination and refinement.

We all work together to create reality on the fly. We create the worlds we experience through a process of consensus reality which allows us to create self-consistent worlds that can be shared with everyone who is participating in our local reality.

This does not mean god does not have a hand in creation, god setup the rules and potentials which enable us to be co-creators of everything we experience. God did this to make it possible for us to please ourselves and create whatever we want.

Some people want explanations for how everything works. They created the theory of evolution to scientifically explain how we wound up with all the incredible bio-diversity we experience in our world. We didn't need a theory of evolution to create bio-diversity but we did need a theory evolution to explain how bio-diversity is created, just as we need the big bang theory to scientifically explain how galaxies, stars and planets are created.

Of course my beliefs about what creation is differ from the standard definitions undestood by Christians, Jews, Muslims, Bhuddists, Hindus, etc... but since all of these people already disagree about the details of creation, I don't see how it can hurt to throw my lot in with the quantum physicists. It might actually help, since I have personally experienced this process of creation and may have a clue about what I am sharing with you.

For help understanding how these ideas can fit together see the DVD "What the Bleep Do We Know: Down the Rabbit Hole".

Cheers!

Answer 5

Evolution, and I believe in God. And yes, humans rose from primates. Why aren't primates evolving into humans? They actually are. In several million years, certain primate species might become humanoid. As it stands, humans and chimps share at least 99% of DNA. That is simply an undisputed fact.

Why is it so hard to think that God created evolution? So it doesn't follow the strict dogma of an ancient text that had no societal concept about science... Modify you belief system anyway, it's okay. That's evolution, too.

Answer 6

I’m both. There is obviously evolution, there’s no denying this but, it’s too intelligent to be natural. Conclusion: life on earth was kick-started by extraterrestrials and they drop in from time to time to advance the species. It could be an experiment, but it could also be that they believe it’s what they’re supposed to do. I think humans will be doing the same in the future.

And I will add that according to the fossil records evolution is not slow and gradual, rather it happens suddenly. One moment there’s no zebra, next moment it’s there, same is observed in virtually every species.

Answer 7

I believe that God can a did change his creations. Evolution happened, Proving it happen with man with solid evidence hasn't happen yet, though I believe man probably did. I grew up in Dayton, TN, the Bible Belt and where the monkey trial took place. The museum is in the basement of that courthouse. Although I grew up there, I still hold firm in my beliefs. I guess God could be compared to a chef. He tried something, tasted it, and added a little of this and then a little of that to make his creation. Whether God is a woman or man, well I think neither, but that is irrelevant. The point is, who are we to say how God made man. We aren't God, and whose to say that a day to God isn't thousands of years for us. I believe God created man through evolution, but I'll never judge others for their beliefs. After all, no one truly knows what happened but God himself.

Answer 8

Evolution is God's way, of free will. What better way to prepare the world? Evolution is a good answer.

The Adam and Eve story. Heh, that's Bible talk. Interpret it as you will, but the Bible was more on content, not historical accuracy. Adam and Eve could have been two tribes of people.

---

Oh, we DID evolve from a "puddle of water". Not hard to believe at all. Life cannot exist without water. So natural too. Life doesn't spontaneously pop out from a dry desert.

Answer 9

I believe in evolution. I am certain and convinced 100%. I also believe in God the father 100% but I am not swayed by thousands of years of bigotted, controlling religious dogma by the Christians, Jews et al... it is all political propaganda. I use the bible as my own spiritual guide and I read between the lines. As long as I am sane I dont need religious jackasses twisting my brain in a knot.

Answer 10

"Every entity is in a state of flux; moving, reacting, adjusting, and changing. The amount of change is, of course, dependent on its ambient environment, outside stimuli, and its basic (foundational) characteristics."

The Scientists call this "evolution".
The Creationists call it (by) "intelligent design".

I believe in both. Because, they are both right. They just have their time lines mixed up.

Answer 11

Yes.
My theory/belief:

God created animal life with the ability to survive anything by adapting, this lead to diversity in species. Eventually, some mammals evolved into neanderthals. Then God made Adam and Eve who were the first Cro-Magnon people. Adam and Eve's children bred with the neanderthals, but since their genes were dominant, all neanderthals were converted to modern humans after a few generations.
Sounds crazy, but it works for me.
