Creation (God) vs Evolution - Which one do you believe in?

Question

Which makes more sense?

Answer 1

We have not seen either of them. All the proofs are indirect. Therefore when evolution is the truth, GOD also can be truth. GOD has created the first life. Then he only started the evolution process. He regulates the evolution. He also takes care of malfunctioning of his system so that nothing is evolved into a demon.

Now with present load of population its God's intention to reduce the same. Therefore he is allowing few demons to be evolved in the disguise of politicians.

At the end and at the beginning everything is created and controlled by GOD. Now the story of Adam and Eve is just a story. This was created by GOD himself just to guide the human mind towards good. May be the first evolved man was named ADAM.

Answer 2

God(Creation) and Evolution are not mutually exclusive. Throughout human history, our growing knowledge of science is simply understanding how the hand of God works and has worked. I agree that the very beginning of Genesis has a sequence of events remarkably similar to the current scientific consensus - dark, light, earth, rain, fish, mammals, humans. How else would Man thousands of years ago have described Evolution and the Big Bang? St. Thomas Aquinas spoke of different proofs of God, and the one that comes to mind here is "The First Cause". Whatever we discover scientifically, however far back in time we can go, which is currently the Big Bang, Something had to be The First Cause of the first event. That Something will always be God. God/religion/mythology have always given us a framework to understand and have faith in that which we have yet to scientifically know. My answer is BOTH. If we are just a random collection of molecules, without soul or spirit or heart or hope, then life is meaningless. The more we learn, the more we realize is left to learn. How many millions of solar systems and planets and galaxies are out there? How many new elements and forces and principles? When will we find a chunk of matter that was created at the very beginning of the Big Bang that started our current Universe? Why is it that there have been such an amazingly perfect set of coincidences to bring about our evolution, with the mind and hands and tool use and ability to leave the planet and nuke it? Check out Stephen Hawkings, Brief History of Time, where he points some of these out - gravity had to be just so, evolution of other species had to be just so, temperature and chemical composition and distance from the sun and the type of sun and the right type of atmosphere and magnetosphere and planetary core, all had to be just so.... WHAT A COINCIDENCE, EH?

Answer 3

Evolution has tons of physical evidence to back it up (fossil record, continental drift, molecular evidence, absolute dating, etc.) too much to list here. While creationism is faith based which has no physical evidence to back it up. For instance, things that are only a few thousand years old such as Noah's arch and the dead sea scrolls cannot be found(all the here say that they can be found has produced no results, only excuses), but multiple scientists can find and test physical evidence that is millions of years old, to support evolution.

Here is something I found very interesting about the book of genesis. It states that the earth was made something like 3 days (correct me if I'm wrong) before the sun. If this is the case, how were they able to tell 3 days had passed before the sun was created??? There was no sunset to distinguish the days and the clock wasn't invented and a sun dial would have been useless considering the sun wasn't created yet. So in other words the bible is a book of fairy tales that was created to suppress the lay people in early times (take some ancient history classes and you will figure this one out). For instance the bible used during the early 1500's was in Latin, and people were not allowed to have their own copies nor could they interpret it because no one except the minister/pastors could interpret and read Latin. Also, people who created translated versions of the bible such as William Tyndale were burned at the stake. Therefore, the bible was a means of controlling people or could be considered an early form/branch of government used to scare people into doing whatever the people in power wanted.

Overall, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I just prefer physical evidence that can be tested multiple times by multiple people. So, if you can't tell yet.....I believe EVOLUTION is CORRECT!!!!

Answer 4

you're appropriate - there is no question that evolution interior a species does in certainty take place. everyone who ever took Biology a hundred and one truthfully is familiar with that. Concrete and absolute evidence abounds. there is fairly little room for the debate approximately no count if one species can envolve into yet another, yet there is a few room final. Absolute evidence would not exist, however significant evidence helps this concept. is this what you go with to communicate? would the Creationist theory then be that at a number of factors God chosen to intrude to create new species, which contain humanity? that would desire to at present be impossible to teach or disprove. Even without such intervention, that's certainly achieveable to maintain that God chosen to paintings throughout the evolutionary technique, except you do not have faith that God can do something He chooses.

Answer 5

What would hold up in a court of law???? First, you need physical evidence which evolution has!!!! Creation is nothing more than a figment of peoples imagination who are not bright enough to understand the complexity of Evolution.

Thistlemaid and Marc-guyr....quit riding the fence, there is a huge difference between evolution and creation, considering one contradicts the other. Also, thistlemaid a miracle would be someone saving us from your stupidity, the big bang theory is not a miracle and if you could actually understand it I might waste my time explaining it to you. But, Obviously you don't understand it so why waste my time.

Answer 6

Evolution. There is scientific evidence leading to that theory. I find that makes much more sense than religious mythology. I don't trust religious leaders. I think they just made creation stories up.

Answer 7

Creation, I believe God. I believe that God created everything and that over the years evolution occurred as well. I believe that God is the Creator. You asked what I believe, this is it.

Answer 8

It is not really a matter of believing. Evolution is a fact. Since it is a fact, it makes more sense. It is the exact mechanisms of evolution that are debated in science.

For those of you with the "evolution is just a theory" line, gravitation is just a theory too. Let me know how "not believing" in gravity works out for you.

Answer 9

In my opinion Evolution because who knows maybe God doesn't exist so I believe in the scientific theory of the creation.

Answer 10

Hmmm, I never thought of it as and "either/or" thing...I believe God created Evolution. Just because humans are not capable of creating something that changes and evolves and adapts over time, doesn't mean the Being that Created All is limited in such a way! It also doesn't mean that those evolutions and adaptations did not proceed exactly the way they were MEANT to.

The Big Bang: basically science says that first there was nothing.
Then the nothing exploded for no reason.
Then everything was HERE!!

If that's not a miracle - explain to me what is! LOL!!
