Evolution vs. Creationism?

Question

Which do you believe and why?

Answer 1

Believe in what you want, just don't mess up science.

Science cannot deal with the supernatural (God) or miracles (creating the world in seven days). The reason is quite obvious, and here's why:

Once you allow God into scientific theories, you can't stop. No matter what explanation we attempt, there will always be a simpler one: God did it. Occam's Razor (the simplest solution is usually the correct one) then tells us, most of our scientific questions will be correctly answered with "God did it". The moon is attracted to the Earth because God makes it so. The Speed of Light is whatever God wants it to be. Any "how"-question can always be answered with "A miracle".

And if we allow the supernatural into science, why stop there? What prevents us from allowing astrology, shamanism, scientology's e-meters etc into science? Because they're not Christian?

Answer 2

Evolution

Answer 3

I believe in Creation. It all had to start sometime. I also see the plain evidence of evolution in that which is already created. So, both. I believe in creation and I know about evolution.
.

Answer 4

this is a tough one. i mean....i was raised a christian, but i havent felt the "spark" or what ever that people feel so that they know they believe. i'm also really into science as that is what i will major in in college. creationism is based on people relaying it to other people and the bible. not saying it isnt true mind u....but theres no proof! i mean, at least evolution, they have a pretty good idea of what brought earth into being n how we evolved slowly over millions of years. they have ACTUAL proof of what brought us here.....its mostly fossils and rock layers in simplest terms. : ) but seriosly tho? evolution is probably more likely than creationism.

Answer 5

I believe in creationism because there is soo much evidence for it do you know that if the earth was over 1 million years old the moon would be closer then 5 ft from the earth and there is alot more Evidence against evolution:


There is much evidence against biological macroevolution. Some of Darwin’s evidence used to support evolution is now refuted because of more modern scientific evidence. One fact is that body parts or entities could not have evolved gradually. Michael Behe discovered that cells were irreducibly complex. They needed every single chemical and part to function. Consequently, they could not have gradually evolved. Another evidence was the complete lack of transitional forms in the fossil record.

We have not been able to create life from non-life regardless of how hard we have tried. We have not been able to create one species from another even with human intervention. The things that have been used as examples of evolution either have supported microevolution or have been hoaxes, frauds, or have used artistic license to extrapolate conclusions without justification.

However, the best evidences against macroevolution and hence the very best evidence for creationism, is the unimaginable complexity and machine-like workings of a single cell including DNA, RNA, and the manufacture of proteins, etc. None of this was known during Darwin’s time. They thought the cell was a simple blob of protoplasm. The human genome contains so much information it would fill libraries if contained in books. The machine-like workings of a cell have been related to our most sophisticated factories. Nobody would ever suggest that random processes could generate libraries of information or make a manufacturing plant. This favors creationism.

Direct evidence for Creation:


The Big Bang theory is the current scientific explanation of our origin. It places the origin of our universe at a specific time in the past. So whether we believe in science or believe in creation or both, we believe we came from nothing at a specific time in the past. The difference is that the Big Bang states that everything was created from nothing without a cause or a purpose.

Alternatively, if we believe in creation, we believe that everything came from nothing by the will of an omnipotent, transcendent Creator that is not limited to time and space and we were created for a purpose. This completely explains how apparent design and complexity could have come into existence.

However, the very best evidence for creationism is the claim by God Himself that He created light, the universe, the Earth and all life. You might question whether that argument holds up under scientific scrutiny? We all know the creation story in Genesis, but how can we know directly through scientific rationale that it is true. We can show that it was written in the Old Testament, but how can we show direct evidence that it is true? We only need to accept the most thoroughly documented history in existence and examine the evidence for who Jesus was. Our calendar is based upon the birth of Jesus. How historical is that? In Mark 13:19 (NKJV) Jesus stated, “For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be.” Could Jesus have been anything other than what He claimed to be, the God of creation?

C.S. Lewis in “Mere Christianity” addresses the possibilities of who Jesus could have been. He concludes that He couldn’t have just been a great moral teacher. He had to be the Son of God, a lunatic or the Devil. He certainly wasn’t a lunatic or the Devil so He had to be the Son of God. If He is the Son of God and He said God created everything, then this is the very best direct evidence for creationism.

Answer 6

You don't have to believe in evolution. The evidence is overwhelming.

Answer 7

I believe in Divine Intervention which is an in-between. I believe that humans did evolve over time but that it was God who helped it along.

Answer 8

Evolution, I think its just logical

Answer 9

I don't believe either one. I don't think it matters because at the end of the day, you want to watch tv, have a beer, you know, you just want to enjoy life itself.

Answer 10

creation! "Genesis 1:1 - In the begining God created the Heavens and earth." Something (the earth) can come from nowhere, as in evolution. if there ws nothing, then where did these chemicals that mixed w/the other chemicals come from, o create the earth?? duh, it couldnt happen.
