What is the Christian thought of evolution?

Question

Do Christians really belive that we are ancestors of chimps?

Answer 1

No we don't believe it....and neither does the Bible teach it.

"From the beginning of the Creation God made them male and female..."-- Jesus (Mk. 10:6)

Scripture says God SPOKE all things into existence with His Word:
" By the Word of the Lord were the heavens created, and all the host by the breath of His mouth. For HE SPAKE AND IT WAS DONE; HE COMMANDED AND IT STOOD FAST". (psalm 33:9)

Answer 2

christians are strongly against this theory. so are all beleivers of god. this theory is a scientific theory that suggests that god has nothing to do with the existence of our world. Evolution is a false theory. it is only a theory. use of imaginative drawings and propaganda by scientists encourages most ppl to think that it is in fact true. natural selection is NOT the same as evolution. natural selection is the passing of the best fitting genes to offspring. evolution implies that all diverse species came from a similar source before evolving into different groups (eg. mammals, reptiles etc.). If this were so, there would have been fossils to show intermediates (eg. half - reptiles half mammals). Yet there are no *real* fossils that prove this. Of course there was a fake cranium that had features of humans and apes but it was later discovered how far evolutionists are prepared to go. They merged the skull of an ape and human! All real fossils suggest that the different species came about at once. Evolution also implies that creation came about by chance. BUT that has been proven wrong time and time again. In fact, the chance of a protein molecule being formed *by chance* is 1*10^10000 when the number that suggests impossibility is 1*10^50! A single protein/ cell is so complex to suggest that it has been created by chance is pure nonsense. Just as it is to assume that when walking into a jungle we find a plane - and assume that it was made by chance (by the wind etc). another reason why evolution is wrong is because we cannot simplify life, if we do it won't work. life is like a piece of clockwork - needs every single part for it to work.

Answer 3

What makes you say that we are the ancestors of chimps? Maybe you meant it the other way around? Anyway, according to the Bible we are a separate creation, created AFTER the animal world was made.

Answer 4

I don't think that even the christians (or the evolutionists for that matter) believe that we are the ancestors of chimps.

Answer 5

Many christians do believe that.
Of course, this makes things very strange.
A Christian is a person who follows the teachings of Christ ....who beleived God created things.
The only explanation is many people consider Christ's teachings as a supermarket:
"I'll take some of this, two of those. That, no."
Of course, one really cannot call themselves Christian unless they accept ALL the teachings of christ.
Otherwise they are 10%, 20%, 30% Christian.

Answer 6

no christians belive god created the earth in 6 days and on the 7th day the lord rested

Answer 7

Catholics say that God created the universe and ALL that is within it, in His time, and in His way. God created humanity in His image with the freedom to Love completely. Yet, humanity choose wrong initially, Jesus corrected this action.

Time is not set by humanity, but is measured by humans for our understanding. God creates according to His Time and His way.

Answer 8

Most Christians (in the world) accept the tenets of evolution as true.

Plenty don't (esp in the USA).

I think that answers your question accurately.

Answer 9

It is one of God's tools.

Only the idiot fringe still objects to it ot believes it says we evolved from chimps.

Answer 10

Well many Christians do. So I guess the answer is yes.

But you def. could not lump all Christians in this category!
