for the Fundamentalist Christians?

Question

why do you hate the fact of evolution. it a proven a science. i mean, doesnt the idea of 2 people who were created from nothing and a rib seem far fetched?

Answer 1

They hate evolution because they don't know how to interpret a Bible around evolution. A lot of Catholics know how. The thing is, fundamentalists often were raised as such, and don't know how to interpret the Bible any more than the literal reading.

Edit: For Gary, the "educated" person above:

There is no "Precambrian explosion" outside of the minds of creationists. Fossil evidence shows a gradual change from simple organisms to complex organisms - excatly like evolution says!

Edit two: For jolb73:

Do you have the slightest idea what a "theory" is in science? Keep calling evolution a theory, because it is a theory. Scientific theories are defined as: "the best explanation for a given set of evidence".

We didn't come from apes, apes and us share a common ancestor.

When will you creationists stop lying?

Answer 2

Well, I'm not even a christian here.

"Hate" the "fact" of evolution. Hmm. Nothing in science is certain. I include "obvious" things here like the "law" of gravity. What we can say is that there is an awful lot of evidence for it but this is an event that occured millions of years ago. Nobody actually witnessed it.

Being objective, there are alot of details that are hard to explain in evolution. I don't mean they are 'wrong' but they are difficult to explain. What was the precise way in which multiple organisms evolved from singular cell ones? How did genetals evolve? I mean, genetals are useless 100% unless you have two matching ones that work together.

The best explaination we have is that everything took a long time. Millions and billions of years and even tho it happened through mutation and natural selection, it is pretty hard to understand the details.

There are some interesting theories tho:
1) scientists believe that whales came from the land. I think they and the hypo are said to be related. This is explained by the air breathinh thing
2) Land creatures evolved after sea ones
3) Birds from dinosaurs. This is a really strange theory. Still looks like those fossils had feather evidence.

Christians don't believe in evolution because they believe it contradicts the bible in particular the book of genesis. Some christians actually DO believe in evolution and discount genesis as being more symbolic in meaning

Answer 3

Evolutionists say that the universe began with a "big bang". And you think the creation story is far fetched!!!
Evolution is not a "proven science." It is nothing more than a theory.

Answer 4

Evolution sounds a lot more far fetched than creation. It's not proven science just a mere theory. If you ask me the scientist has to exercise a lot of faith ,to believe this stuff which has a lot of holes in it, and you want to know why? They don't want to think about the alternative which is creation. In which they would have to acknowledge the Creator. I don't hate evolution, I just refuse to be deceived. If people want to deceive themselves that's up to them. Creation made in the image of God sounds perfectly plausible. The theory that we're mere accidents evolved from apes doesn't. now that my friend is far fethched.

Answer 5

Well no. Science has the same way of thinking, A big bang, theory , how can energy and organization come from nothing???

Same question really, The difference is that there are no conclusive findings that prove humans evolved. There have been many findings of similar skulls and bones and things like that, however if humans are a successful as they are why are there not much more human remains??? Since especially we are a moder species according to evolution time line. The bible mentions proof of a world wide disaster the flood, and even stating things like the earth hangs upon nothing and it is a sphere. this was written 4,000 yrs ago.

Answer 6

It is far easier to dismiss something as "not possible" because Oh my goodness, what if we did come from apes? How could it be possible that over millions of years our DNA evolved to create one extra strand, one more chromosome, the only thing that separates us from our monkey cousins.

I mean this 3000 year old book (at best) is the end all be all non-corrupted authority of all time.

(Pay NO Attention to the 200 million year old Dinosaur Fossils, those were planted by the Non-believing Atheist to test the faiths of the true Christians, they are not real, evolution can not be real, we are only 6000 years old.)

What I do not understand is why people have a hard time accepting evolution, however it is perfectly logical that woman (the evil thing that she is) was created (i.e. given birth to) by Man. That based on that, we are ALL products of incest (but abhore it) and the Divine Saviour (who is the SON of G-d, NOT G-d himself) was born of a Virgin! (which in the language of ye olden times, meant not Married, not sexually inept).

We can believe all that is fact, but I didn't come from no stinken Monkey, How dare you even suggest that!

Answer 7

The reason is they think it prevents people from believing in God, maybe not in a broad sense but at least not in the way they do: the Bible is to be taken literally, like an assembly manual from IKEA or something. So seven days it is!

Also, they believe Evolution promotes "survival of the fittest", which basically is selfishness and greed, i.e. evil. Of course, Evolution is nothing of the sort, it's just misrepresented as such. Evolution is merely a natual mechanism, such as chrystallization. You can still be nice and caring -- even Christian! -- without 'breaking' Evolutionary 'law'.

Answer 8

First of all, not all of evolution actually has been proven. The part of Darwin’s theory that has the most evidence is how random mutation and natural selection produce changes within species such as fur color or ear size. This process is known as microevolution. Some examples that have been studied extensively are mutations in bacteria and viruses such as the virus that causes AIDS (Behe 15). Microevolution in animals is also well documented. Animal breeders have been obtaining certain characteristics in their animals for a long time by carefully selecting mates with desirable traits . Examples include dog and horse breeders. Wild animals have also been studied. Darwin observed finches and found that they grew longer beaks and became more plentiful during periods of drought. Then when the rainy season started, the smaller-beaked finches made a complete recovery. This shows that the surroundings can impact a species growth Other types of birds brought to North America have been transformed over time into very distinct types. These and other examples led scientists like Michael Behe, professor at Lehigh University, to believe that variation within a species or type of animal supports Darwin’s theory. “Microevolution or biological adaptation to an environment through random mutation and natural selection has been extensively studied and a massive amount of evidence has been compiled to demonstrate that transformations occur within species”. In short, microevolution has sufficient evidence to support it.

While some of Darwin’s theory has support in current research, others, like the slow change of one species into another species, has no evidence. Darwin predicted that over time fossil evidence would prove that new species evolve from existing species. However, after approximately 150 years, there isn’t an unbroken chain of fossils showing minor changes to link apes to men or any species to another species. There are fossil remains that some scientists put in a sequence to show how the transformation from one species to another might have taken place, but gaps remain. According to Stephen Webster of the Imperial College in London and winner of the Glaxo Science Writer Award, “There are no fossils that show the species actually transforming.” Fossils have been found that initially were thought to prove macroevolution, but further study disproved them. Examples include the coelacanth, which was reported to be the link between amphibian and fish, but was later proved to be all fish. Gaps in the evolutionary chain among horses in North America were created by the discovery of new fossils. There were also some fossils that were proven to be fake. The Piltdown man, which was supposed to link man to apes, and the Archaeoraptor, which was supposed to link birds and dinosaurs, were both proven to be artificially put together by overzealous evolution supporters Nonetheless, most scientists think that enough fossils remain to show an overall pattern of evolution from species to species and claim that opponents of evolution will never be satisfied no matter how many fossils are found

In short, some parts of evolution have been proved, and others have not. Also, IT DOES NOT EXPLAIN HOW LIFE CAME TO EXIST, JUST HOW IT WORKS ONCE IT EXISTS. Get your facts straight.

Answer 9

I don't hate it....I just don't believe it. I haven't seen any "proof" or "evidence" that supports darwinian evolution clearly. I've been through all the debates and the "facts" to me show a Creator made us...at least to me it does.
Mutation is a scrambling of information. If I made a copy of a copy of a copy of my computer browser, it would cease to function properly or not at all. I think even if natural selection were at play, in practical application, the copies may grow strengths in certain areas that were beneficial and would survive but eventually the mutations that are almost always damaging...(sometimes not but mostly mutations cause disease)...would create a mutation that would overpower any beneficial mutation. Like a computer program to "evolve" part of the program that made the connection faster and with a sharper image etc....but at the same time...mutations would occur at the same time that would seize the program up, making it impossible to view the beneficial mutations. What's the point of a beneficial mutation if the stupid program seizes up? mutation is always a corruption of the original, no matter if it's beneficial or not.

Answer 10

Evolution is STILL just a theroy. I do not like anything that takes away from GOD and HIS glory.
Why do you and our kind hate the fact that GOD created all that is out of nothing?
Adam wasn't made from nothing by the way, he was created from the dust of the earth.

Answer 11

Christianity might desire to be a graspable and tangible faith or that is ineffective to every person. faith does us no sturdy sitting on a shelf and God can't help us if we positioned him in a field to artwork his miracles. If we actually and fairly took a look into the bible we'd see that we are commanded to do 2 issues, Love God and Love Others. we are ALL imperfect, we can ALL shrink to rubble lower back, and happily all of us have the prospect to get lower back up and go at existence lower back. We might desire to cease looking previous the log in our own eye to eliminate the splinter in somebody else's. purely love every person and be the very superb person you would be, God is elementary with what we are able to!
