What do you think of this true story, about God and evolution?

Question

There was once a evolutionist who prided himself in being one, a believer in this ancient animistic religion, he thought he was sophisticated for doing so, because he read about it in what he considered unquestionable magazines, not knowing himslkef how these things were arrived at and by what inferences, he just accepted the final interpretation of others because he trusted they knew more abouthtis than him, and an ordninary human mind with reason cannot know or see the truth, but must rely on the mediators of truth to pass the mystery to him. Anyway he had a friend who was a devout Christian astronomer who had a carefully constructed model of the solar system in his laboratory.One day this unbeliever in God and believer in myth, came in to see his acquaintance,seeing the beautiful and amazingly constructed system he naturally wondered who made it.He asked who made this wonderful display with movement and accurate representation.The Christian man said nobody, it just made itself.

He responded with amazement and unbelief, saying impossible, then it hit him, that is what he has been doing all his life, denying common inference and reason, for a stupid skeptical bias, thinking he was smart, now realizing how ridiculous he appeared.

Answer 1

I think it is not true.
-How many times do I have to tell you that evolution is NOT a religion? Do you even read the answers you get? Or, are you just another self-righteous Christian that goes around complaining about SOUND science that you do not agree with?

-In case you haven't figured it out yet, (and you haven't because you have OBVIOUSLY spent ZERO time trying to understand evolution) EVOLUTION DOES NOT TRY TO EXPLAIN HOW THE UNIVERSE BEGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOW GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

In the beginning, man was lonely - and hated the things he could sink down to, so he created a Gods in his image. Some took on the image of the animals about him. As the gods grew in complexity, he attempted to describe all the questions his peers would ask him about these gods, and the world with a set of stories.

As his knowledge of the natural world grew, so he amended the story to fit the world he saw, and soon his stories became classic tales, that everybody accepted. And they told his story far and wide. Gods were changed to one god, an all powerful god.

Problem was that the story was not unique, but one of hundreds of competing stories, all similar. So the followers of each 'theory' would defend it against the followers of other theories.

In the end, the followers became so blind to the world about them - that when science evolved - and a good theory to explain the world, they clung onto their old superstitions. Many ranting chapter and verse of the good book - rather than using their brains to accept or even judge the new material.

Theory even tried to develop sudo science to make the actual facts seem less important, anything to get back to the old beliefs, as they were starting to feel lonely again.

Answer 3

This was actually a very poorly conceived story. It has a beginning and end, but the middle lacks...meat, if I may say so. Although you are attempting to show how one man became enlightened, the reasoning behind it seems flimsy. I'm sure there's more to it, you were just too lazy to type it out. The Christian astronomer just comes off as being a liar.

Answer 4

"Although the idea of evolution has existed since classical antiquity, being first discussed by Greek philosophers such as Anaximander, the first convincing exposition of a mechanism by which evolutionary change could occur was not proposed until Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace jointly presented the theory of evolution by natural selection to the Linnean Society of London in separate papers in 1858. Shortly after, the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species popularized and provided detailed support for the theory"


It has nothing to do with "animism", which is an ancient belief system based on seeing animals in a different way than we do.

religion is a faith-based pile of doggy doo-doo.

Evolution is a scientifically proven reality. It's got nothing to do with "truth". facts and truth are different. facts are objective; truth is subjective. Religion is subjective. It peddles in "truths" as they apply to the particular religion as well as a whole swag of "lies" which are meant to scare you into believing their "truths"

hope this helps clear the obviously rather murky waters of your brainspace.

might also help if you did some serious and objective research into what evolution as a concept is on about. if you want to arrive at conclusions for yourself it's pretty easy to dig away at scientific papers to see that they are all put before a panel of reviewers and any bunkum or hocus pocus is quickly discovered. Take the example of the Korean scientist who swore blind that he had worked out how to do some amazing stuff with cloning. He was not dealing in facts. His reviewers discovered this and he was disgraced.

"an ordinary human mind with reason cannot see the truth"? what nonsense. are you denying every scientific fact that has ever been discovered????

i pity your poor deluded mind. I forgive you for such ways of viewing the world. I have compassion for you because it's narrowmindedness such as this which allows war to occur.

Love and Light,

Answer 5

A "true story?"

I'd say claiming a fairy tale is "ture" is just one more example of how dishonest the right'wing Christians are. But then, evryone already knows that. That's why no one has anyy use for them--because they don't speak or act according to what Christ taught.

Answer 6

If evolution was an "ancient animistic religion," it would be in that darn BOOK!


"One day this unbeliever in God and believer in myth..." HAHAHAHA My how you contradict with your condescending little made up story...

Answer 7

Christianity also claimed that the sun revolve around the earth and the earth is flat. God would want us to kow how he got life and the universe to work.

Answer 8

An astronomer who was certain about the way the universe worked? Sounds unlikely.

Answer 9

i understand the story basically the guy who didn't believe in god realized how foolish he was when his friend who made a sample of a solar system told him that it made itself as he came to his senses and realized that somebody made that solar system sample

Answer 10

Well, seeing is how evolutionist isn't a real word, I'd say you just pulled that 'true story' out of your ***. Hey, isn't lying a crime punishable by hell? I guess I'll see you there then.
