Does the theory of evolution disprove the creation taught in the Bible?

Question

What About The Ape Men Paleoarcheologists Say They Have Found?

Answer 1

If you take the Biblical creation story as literal truth, then yes, evolution contradicts it. If you take it as a useful allegory, then it's....workable.

Answer 2

The creation of science and the Bible are identical.

First there was nothing but a dark void and that that always was and always will be and then in a falsh there was light and the heavens were formed and the planets and seas came upon the Earth and separated and land masses were form and magically there were plants and animals, then man.

The difference is NOT evolution, but the RANDOMNESS of the Cosmic Atomic Chemical Casino that throws out flying matter in all directions and hit a lucky 7 with Earth and Man versus a being that created the world and man intellegently.

Like man creates Houses, Cars, XBoxes, Microwave food.

Why don't the randomists just wait for those things to "evolve" instead of INTELLEGENTLY DESIGNING THEM and then saying there is NO SUCH THING as intellegent design.

What they are saying is THERE IS NO ONE SMARTER THAN MAN in the Universe.

They will keep saying that until a smarter being shows up and tells them how wrong they were thinking, because their evidence is self-evidient.

This is what it boils down to. MAN is the smartest thing around. There is no one smarter. No one smart enough to make man exists.

I guess it depends on how self-centered and concieted you are.

Religous people, basically, believe in space aliens. God is from way up there and jets around the universe, which is something we can't do, we can barely get into orbit, and if God is jetting around the Universe Einstein tells us he dosen't age much so can be eternal and if God ever comes back to Earth and proves things with pictures, vidoes and even demonstrates the Genesis device, the Religious WIN. They can point and say: See, God exists. There IS something GREATER than MAN! And GOD created us!

And Atheists have to learn they are an Amoeba or a stupid animal, which is what they think they are anyway.

That's BASICALLY IT.

ATHEISTS say there is nothing GREATER THAN MAN and religioius says there is something FAR GREATER AND HE EXISTS AND HE CREATED ALL

We beleive in something beyond our own silly world.

Answer 3

It doesn't disprove anything since Creationism wasn't ever proven. What it does is it presents a contradiction to the Bible. Either you have to accept that the Bible isn't true or you have to accept that Evolution isn't true. But remember Evolution is supported by good science.

The Ape-Man that you describe supports Evolution.

Answer 4

I believe in evolution only in that God did not create the world and man in six literal days but probably did over thousands of years which is not the same time dimension that God operates from. No it does not disprove creation found in the Bible for me.

Answer 5

No, how can a lie disprove the truth? I mean a negative does not overpower a positive, does it?

Evolution is just that...a theory. What one proposes to be the truth or an idea.

Answer 6

The THEORY of evolution is just that: a theory. Until it is proven, it can't disprove anthing.

Actually it is more of a religion than a theory of science. If you would read what those who believe it say, you would find that it is full of words like: "Could, might, perhaps, is BELIEIVED, is feasable, many think, it is possilbe....etc ad nauseum.

Those who hold to the theory base their "proof" of one belief on OTHER UNPROVEN theories. That's NOT science, that's a belief system.

Answer 7

Do you read a novel and criticize it because the author was a liar and the events he described never "really" happened? Of course not. Can fiction convey truth without being *factually* true? Of course. Why? Because when you know the genre of what you're reading, you're able to assess the level on which you should be evaluating its truth. You don't read poetry the way you read a science text.

Genesis is not a science text. Genesis is myth, and poetic myth on top of that. Does it convery truth? Of course. Is it scientific, factual truth? Of course not. It's mythic, poetic, existential truth. That's why creationism and (for want of a better term) "scientism" are both moronic in their approach to the Biblical texts.

Answer 8

No, actually it's the other way around.
For some excellent information on the so-called "Ape-Men", please read "The Evolution Cruncher" by Vance Ferrell. It contains thousands of scientific facts that you'll never learn in a liberal college. In most places you can get the book for $5, or you can get it free from me. [e-mail]

Answer 9

The Biblical literalists (who believe every word of the Bible is true) are getting pretty despatate as the gaps in the data are being filled in. We have hundreds of fossils of australopithecines and even better examples of more recent hominids.

Answer 10

Evolution can only speculate on what may have occurred in the past, the Bible is God's revelation of what did occur.
