Please, tell me which of these things you agree or disagree with.?

Question

a) biological evolution (Darwin's theory)
b) the scientifically accepted geological age of the earth (about 4500 million years)
c) the scientifically accepted cosmological age of the universe (about 10-20 thousand million years or so, I think. Not as precise yet)
d) observed fact that there is no geological evidence of a Biblical Flood

If you disagree with evolution, is there any reason other than a literal interpretation of the Bible? (I'm guessing that the answer would be no for the other ones.)
There are many instances in which we are forced to accept that things in the Bible were meant to be figurative, like "the sight [of a tall tree] thereof to the end of all the earth" Daniel 4:11, implying that the earth is flat. Or the fact that many Biblical passages imply that the sun moves around the earth (first Chronicles 16:30, Psalms 93:1, Psalms 96:10, and Psalms 104:5)

Answer 1

A) Agree
B) Agree
C) Kinda disagree with the time frame presented
D)Agree

If you disagree with evolution, you're disagreeing with the roots of humans and dismiss it as another folklore.

Remember, humans are the only ones who believe in a god. Dogs don't, tigers don't...

Answer 2

wd hit it all right on the head. the tree was just a dream and was a metaphor. there was a local flood which was all of the known world in those days. any evolution of species had help with the fallen angels and thats why god destroyed it all in the flood and the earth nor universe is nowhere near that age. you dont have all the scientific facts either b/c science will tell you that the roation of earth slows down by 0.00000002 seconds every day due to gravitational pull by the moon on the earth. so that each century is 0.00073 seconds longer than the previous one and this has been going on since the big bang which means if the earth or universe was millions of years old we would be floating on a dead planet by now and it wouldnt be turning at all. not to mention that the sun burns billions and billions of metric tons of fuel every day and its slowly shrinking as all stars do as they age and eventually collapse so that if the world was millions of years old that the dinosaurs would literally have been walking around with their heads mere inches from the suns surface b/c thats how big it would have been. carbon dating is off only in the decimal point. theres just too many zeros on the end of the number and if you take the biblical age of the universe which is 7,000 years for creation as it says in psalms 90:4 and 2nd peter 3:8 and explained fully in barnabas 13:4 a day is a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day. lets face it a week wasnt long enough for any species to grow old or procreate. then going from the recorded time of man placing the creation of Adam and Eve at approx. 4350 BC to present day we get a rough figure of 13,357 years and multiply that by the speed of light which is 186,000 miles per second and now fudging on the numbers by just a few hundred years we see 14,000(y) X 365.25(d) X 1,000 = 5,113,500,000 (186,000 x 60 (s) X 60 (m) X 24 (h) = 16,070,400,000 X 5,113,500,000 =
82,175,990,400,000,000,000 light years in all directions which is extremely extremely close to what scientists believe to be the size of the universe but even if you could travel to the end of space you would find that the end of it is its beginning (gospel of thomas 1:18) god is the alpha and omega the beginning and the end as well. so i dont agree with anything you said. if you want loads of more proof and you cant argue with math i suggest buying my book.

Answer 3

I believe God created each species in its order. I don't believe one species evolved into another. I do believe that within that species evolution (change) can occur. How can you say there is no evidence for a Biblical Flood - haven't fish fossils been found on the highest mountains of earth? I believe you are taking scripture out of context. The scripture you are referring to in Daniel was speaking of a dream and was never intended to be literal - most dreams aren't you know! The other scriptures you refer to in 1 Chronicles and Psalms are not referring to the physical planets relationship to any other heavenly body but to the fact that God had already told man this planet was here to stay. Seed time and harvest would not end, day and night would not end - the planet is eternal. It will be changed and purified (especially at the end by fire) but it will still be here because it is established and held by God's word. Isaiah 40:22 states He sitteth upon the circle of the earth - does that sound flat to you?

Answer 4

Personally, I believe that God started evolution. I personally don't care how old the earth is, because I'm living now, and I have bigger things to worry about, such as raising my child. I believe that the Bible is full of metaphors and that most of it should not be taken literally. I also grew up southern baptist. I am not a creationist, because evolution is a proven fact. But, the bible does not tell you what Adam and Eve looked like, or what the animals looked like. The animals could have been dinosaurs, and Adam and Eve ape-like creatures. We'll never know for sure.

Answer 5

I agree with the first three. But perhaps not the fourth. There is no geological evidence of a worldwide flood. But there is evidence of a localized flood, which to the people of ancient times, may have seemed huge. The story of the epic of Gilgamesh is a pagan story written around the same time as the story of noahs ark. It tells of basically the same flood story. Only in this particular story, it is not God's people who are saved, but pagan people who happen to make beer. And, they live because they have beer to drink. Perhaps unlikely, but the fact that these two stories stem from completely different backgrounds, but are fundamentally the same, suggests that perhaps there was a great middle eastern flood.

Answer 6

I don't believe in evolution, & I have non-religous friends who don't either. The so called facts don't add up, to me they seem like science trying to prove something that they believe & push it on to someone. To me & my non-religious friends who don't believe evolution seems very narrow minded & fanatical. I have recently become a christian, but I have known evolution was based on quite a few lies for a long time. After looking at what creationists have said, to me it is just as viable as evolution. Even more so based on my experiences with God.

Answer 7

I don't believe in evolution or the Earth being millions and millions of years old, but I do believe in the flood.

Answer 8

I disagree with evolution because humans popped up 200,000 years ago instead of taking the millions of years it was supposed to

There are more reasons that lie within our genomes and whatnot but I don't have the links with me

Answer 9

I agree with a, b, c, and d for the most part. The theories still need some tweaking like all things in science.

Answer 10

i agree with all of those statements.
i think the most recent estimate for the age of the universe is around 12-14 billion years.
