Is believing in evolution a sin?

Question

I think it is.

The "theory" of evolution comes from Satan.

The devil wants you to believe the laughable "theory" that humans come directly from gorillas. I don't know about you, but I have a higher opinion about myself.

It's a sin to question Christianity. You should not ever question it.

God commands faith, and the evil theory of evolution gets in the way of it. I really do believe that Satan has used this to help get people to become atheists.

My advice is to not believe the evil lies.

Evolution is a lie. Darwin, when he dies, said that evolution is not true (I forget my source, but I know it's true). This PROVES that it is wrong.

What do you think?

P.S. Evolutino has been PROVEN to be false using DNA evidence.

Change your minds now and go to Jesus.

Answer 1

How is it to be sinned when you believe something true?

Stupid Creationist.

The Darwin recanted part is made up by Christians.

Answer 2

Evolution does not say we came from gorillas. The Bible does not say it is a sin to question Christianity (for one, Christianity is a religion made up by man that interprets the Bible however it wants). I have faith and I know that God created the world using Evolution.

Gen 1:11 - Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth vegetation..."

And Darwin did not recant on his deathbed. http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/dont_use.asp
Besides, Alfred Russell Wallace also discovered Evolution. And he didn't recant.

DNA evidence is only further proof that evolution occured. Our DNA is 98% identical to that of chimpanzees. I think whoever spoonfed you those lies just wanted to keep you from thinking on your own. Read the Bible more closely and study evolution more thoroughly before you believe what other people say about them.

(Oh, and why do you keep putting "theory" in "quotation marks"? Gravity is a theory too. The concept of cells being the basic unit of life is a theory. The concept of germs causing disease is a theory. But I'm sure you don't believe in any of those either.)

Answer 3

Evolution is just a bad theory. But believing it is not a sin. There are people who are theistic evolutionists. Benjamin Warfield was a great bible teacher and preacher. He was a theistic evolutionists. Theisitic evolution is the theory that evolution occurred but not by random chance. God miraculously guided evolution. Theistic evolution is no more realistic than evolution. It's just as bad a theory. The fact is, life doesn't come from dead chemicals. It could, if God miraculously helped it along but that isn't the way God said He did it. I wouldn't give theisitic evolution any more credence than evolution.
You said "It's a sin to question Christianity. You should not ever question it". I beg to differ. We should question it. If you don't you're just believing it blindly. Christianity isn't blind faith. It's faith based upon reason. Acts 17:10,11 says" And the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea; and when they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily, to see whether these things were so".
It actually calls these Bereans "noble-minded" because they went home and checked out everything Paul said to see if what he said was true.
It's not true that Darwin ever renounced evolution on his deathbed or whatever. Darwin never went back on his theory. But if Darwin could come back from the grave today, he certainly would renounce his theory. Darwin believed that life, as well as the cell, was very simple. He believed the cell was just a blob of protoplasm. He said that if it could ever be shown that any part of life was complex, that would dis-prove his theory. Of course, today we know that every cell in your body(all 100 trillion of them) is a mini-universe. Our bodies also have tons of information in the DNA. You have enough information in your DNA to fill encyclopedia sized books stacked from here to the moon and back 500 times.

"Evolution is a lie. Darwin, when he dies, said that evolution is not true (I forget my source, but I know it's true). This PROVES that it is wrong."

That is false, probably got it from some creationist website.

Read this:
http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CG/CG001.html


"P.S. Evolutino has been PROVEN to be false using DNA evidence."

Evolution hasn't been proven false; there are tons of evidence. I suggest you read at least this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution

Why do whales have hind legs that are undeveloped; why are they born with hair on their bodies? Because these body parts had a clear function in its ancestors.

Macroevolution, evolution from one species to another, has even been observed; no matter what creationists claim with their fallacious self-invented clueless arguments. http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB901.html

Hence, the direct evidence has been observed. To deny observations, one must not accept this reality as real.

Every fool must know evolution is correct. How barbaric ...

Answer 5

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.

The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.

Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.

Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.

Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Answer 6

The claim that Charles Darwin converted to Christianity upon his deathbed was refuted by Darwin's children and has been dismissed as false by historians.

It's entirely up to you whether to accept what science reveals to humanity or cling to your archaic creation myths.

I, myself, do not believe ignorance is a virtue.

Answer 7

I think that you skipped all of those science and math classes in school - along with history, philosophy -- basically every class involving the study of planet earth or anything on it.

--------------------------------

Edit -

Your comment about Darwin's so-called death bed confession is false - according to his wife, daughter, and friends who were there. It was spread by an attention seeking liar and has been discounted.

Don't you feel embarrassed about acting so smart and superior about something you know nothing about – especially when everyone else knows that you do not know what you are talking about?

You 'know' very little of anything, apparently. You should be more selective in the people and sources you listen to - they are liars and they are dishonest - and they don’t care about you, just as long as believers like you keep filling their pockets with money.

--------------------------------------

Edit –

Do yourself a favor and stay away from DNA and everything scientific. You are only digging yourself into a deeper hole.

Answer 8

Doesn't even come close to being a sin. Something has to be created before it can start to change (evolve). No contradiction.
Darwin was on the right track just didn't follow it far enough to suit Fundamentalists.

Answer 9

*sigh*

You guys are getting tiresome, you know that?

Believe whatever you like. Just don't stand in the road when the scientific juggernaut comes rushing by. You might just get crushed under facts.

And the "Darwin deathbed" recantation is a Christian fairy tale. You need better sources.

Answer 10

No, believing in evolution is not a sin because it is a fact and not believing in a fact is definitely a sin.... the choice is yours
