Whats the proof of Creationism?

Question

I don't want to hear because God exists, or because its in the bible, or because Jesus said so. I want to see if you can acctually use proven facts t o answer this.

Answer 1

The only real issue that causes creationism to conflict with evolution and other modern scientific theories is the time line. Let me submit to you that if God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent with no beginning or end, then human time has no meaning to him. Therefore, creation in seven days is by definition a human constraint that God needs no part of. Why can't everything science teaches us be directly attributed to God Almighty's omniscient design? I think the argument is ridiculous, and the people caught up in it should spend some time loving their neighbors instead of worrying about how many hours passed between the trilobite and Adam.

Answer 2

The proof of creationism is of course the Bible. The Bible is thousands of years old and has not changed since it was written. It has been proven and even proven by science to be truth. The things in the Bible that have not been proven true have also not been proven false. It is full of history that coincides with historical accounts from other sources that science relies upon. There are those who say creationism is "made up" by theologists but there are scientists who believe in creationism because it is the only thing definite. Evolution is not proven. It is a scientific theory that has changed many times over the years because science keeps finding problems with their theories.
Whether you believe in God or not, you can look to the Bible to see actual historical events that are well documented in other writings. As I mentioned before, parts of the Bible were written several thousand years ago, long before the other historians began their work. The Bible also predicts events that later actually did take place and were verified by historians and scientists. Jesus really did exist and that has been proven also by historians and scientists some of whom support evolution.

Answer 3

Jack D is RIGHT!
Besides, your question is unanswerable. Creationism (meaning God created all this) is a point of faith, which exists outside the realm of proof. Now if you mean Creationism as "How did all this get here?" there is the Big Bang Theory. Still not perfected because it begs the question "...And what was before that?" Plus, my puny brain is still wrestling with quantum mechanics and string theory and 11 dimensions. Those theoretical physicists really bend my mind! But I keep trying to understands and I hope you will too. The ability to wonder is what makes all us humans so wonderful, after all.

Answer 4

No one can, of course, hon. Theistic ideas of creation are faith based, and rely on revealed truth, and everyone's faith and revealed truth is a bit different. There is really a great book out now, it's on the best seller lest, called The God Delema... super stuff, but difficult. Bottom line is that the smarter, brighter, and more educated people are or become, the less supernaturalistic they are are. So, the bible belt is in the stupid south, and the smart people are in cities.... you don't fine too many Unitarian Churches in Natches, Mississippi....

Answer 5

there is no proof. plain and simple as that. the bible is their proof. It's just what they believe, what people have said.

you'll get biased answers since you're posting this question in a science subject, but religion explains the world just like science does; except experimental sciences rely on hard evidence before making statements.

and btw, evolution isn't a theory; evolution exists, there's actual hard, visual evidence of it. It exists as much as the computer you're reading this off of. What is a theory is how evolution happens, specifical natural selection.

Also understand that a scientific theory is completely different from a regular theory. a regular theory is just a guess; a scientific theory is something that explains observed phenomena, and has substancial evidence behind it.

Answer 6

Ain't no proof. There is no proof of the theory of evolution either, first proposed by Mr. C. Darwin a good while ago. That is why it is called a "theory". However evolution itself is a fact, whatever theory might be proposed to explain it. But there is a lot of evidence that Mr. Darwin's proposal is correct.

Gravity is a fact, not a theory. Isaac Newton had a theory about gravity. It was pretty correct but not complete and has been improved by Albert Einstein. That's science working.

Combustion is a fact, not a theory. Becher and Stahl had a theory about combustion. Lavoisier had a better one. It was fairly correct but not complete and has been improved. That's science working.

Evolution is a fact, not a theory. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck had a theory about evolution. Charles Darwin had a better one. It was fairly correct but not complete and has been improved. That's science working.

The evidence for evolution covers hundreds of library shelves in publications like Journal of Biology, Journal of Biological Chemistry, Science, Nature, Comptes Rendues, Proceedings of the National Academy of Science of the USA and hundreds of other journals in English, French, Russian, German, Japanese, Chinese, Italian and Spanish just to name some. These include just about every geological, biological and medical topic known to humans and are chock-a-block full of facts that support evolution directly or are consistent with it.

The evidence for evolution is also all around us and includes everyday “non-scientific” observations

1. The anatomical arrangements of land mammals are analogous to each other. For instance, horses breathe through their mouths or two nostrils just as humans do, rather than through holes in their sides. Fish, reptiles, birds and mammals have two eyes and one mouth. Lizards, humans and eagles have four limbs, one heart, one set of lungs, one set of digestive organs, one brain, two ears and so on and so forth. These numbers do not vary across very wide differences in environment and immediate heredity.

2. Nearly all land animals (excepting insects, spiders etc) have red blood.

3. Pig insulin has been used to treat human diabetes.

The evidence for creation consists of an old English translation of a 2500 year old book written by people who had never been outside their own country and now thoroughly misinterpreted by a few, mainly American based pastors whose education is mostly in a peculiar form of theology.

The physical evidence cited by creationists such as the bombardier beetle, the Paluxy footprints and a few dozen other phenomena has been thoroughly debunked many times. In some cases the "evidence" has been concocted and at worst is no more than a direct lie. Most of the material they cite as evidence for intelligent design is nothing of the kind and in some cases actually shows that the design is faulty. The human eye is a glaring example.

Some creationists have claimed that there is conspiracy against them and that scientists are hiding the truth. Sheer paranoia and no different in kind from the nonsense promoted by alien abduction ratbags. There are millions of scientists of one kind or another today. If the truth were being hidden by scientists there must be thousands of them in on it. Some must have come out with real testable evidence that the truth is being hidden by now. The only secure conspiracy is a conspiracy of one.

The poor mugs who actually believe the creationists have been warned to ignore counter arguments as the work of Satan. Of course they have. If they saw they were being sold a bill of shoddy goods their financial contributions might peter out.

Answer 7

Creationism isn't Science. It doesn't use things like evidence. If it did, it would have no followers, as all the evidence points the other way. Creationists say we must have faith and believe in God.

Creationism is nothing to do with Christianity, as most Christians believe in evidence. The evidence has shown Evolution to be true, so they believe it. This includes the Catholic church and many of the Protestant churches.

Answer 8

Good point, Hippie Libby. But you gotta let people believe what they want. Personally, I'm a little torn. But, different strokes for different folks, you know? I don't have the proof. I don't really know. I can argue for both sides. There are so many tangible proofs of the evolution theory, so that could be right. Also, there are so many unkowns, so many questions unanswered that makes us believe in God, because how else would you explain it? So, both sides have good arguments. Nice question!

Answer 9

I don't have any proof of anything. I'm not a scientist or a biologist. I'm not even that terribly religious. But it doesn't take a genious or a religious person to figure out that the car that they drive or the watch that they wear was designed and created- it didn't just happen by chance or accident. So how could something that is infinately more complex(the universe) than a car, happen by some cosmic accident? I think it takes unbelievable common sense to see that this was designed and not an accident.

Answer 10

Some people will get upset for having me said this, but I'm a Christian and I don't agree with certain parts of creationism. The pope doesn't even see a problem with evolution, so why are we all fighting about that
