Quick Poll: Evolution vs Jesus?

Answer 1

Jim, you really shouldn't talk bullshit. And I do mean bullshit, dangerous bullshit. This "false dichotomy" bullshit is a common tactic of the anti-rational creationists: "lets make them choose between God and evolution". There is no dichotomy, there is no choice. There IS a choice between anti-rationalist fundamentalism and evolution. There is also a choice between a half-understood bastardisation of logical positivism (which underscores your question) and religion.

To suggest the dichotomy you have to descend to a level of intellectual dishonesty akin to the creationists. It is quite possible to maintain a belief in God and a belief in evolution. Most Christians maintain both, Pope John Paul 2 maintianed both, the archbishop of Canterbury maintains both - he has spoken publically against the teaching of ID in schools.

You know what Jim? I think you know that. I think you are perfectly aware that you can hold both positions. I think that, but I KNOW that you either know there is no dichotomy or you're a brain dead moron.

So why put it forward? Could it be that you see a way to convert people to atheism? Just as creationists see a refutation of evolution as a way to convert people to Christianity, do you drop any respect for facts per se and consider anything just as a tactic in some war over people souls? In short are you prepared to lie for your faith just as the fundies lie for theirs?

Answer 2

J-Rod:"Jesus... even most scientists reject Evolution... as did Charles Darwin... "

Okay first of all J-Rod you are stupid that is so not true why do you do a little bit more research before you post a lie on the internet."

I believe in both, not that we came from monkeys because yes if we can't come from monkeys because then monkeys wouldn't exsist.

For those you who don't believe in evolution I have a few questions to ask you. How come we have different races? Do you believe in dinosaurs? Do you think that Adam and Eve looked how we look today? Don't you know relize that evolution has taken in place in within your own life time??? Evolution does not just deal with physical features but also mentally. The different generations that are still alive today you can tell a huge difference. We don't all listen to the same music nor all believe the same thing.

*I could right a lot more but I gotta go, but most likely I'm going to post my own question on evolution after this, so yeah, You guys that want to ***** at me can do it on there.*

Answer 3

Evolution is ridiculous... I mean, go all the way back to step 1 in the process, 'the big bang'.... show me factual evidence that an explosion, any explosion has ever produced order and design. Also there's a little something called irreducible complexity...
Darwin himself admitted that if it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, that it would cause his 'theory', and I emphasize that word, to absolutely break down. ( The Origin of species).
Here's just 1 of many examples of irreducible complexity, the human eye.The eye cannot be reduced to anything less than what it is. It has thousands of co-equal functions to make it work. If you take away just one of those functions, the rest of the eye is worthless as an eye. How then did the eye evolve when all functions had to be present at once to give it any worth at all?
I mean look into the mirror at your eyes... each eye has within it a retina that covers less than a square inch and contains 137 million light sensitive cells. Even Charles Darwin said, "To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection , seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree".
Anyone who has a brain that works and eyes that see must admit that evolution is ludicrous and purposterous and could never have happened nor will it ever.
I leave you with the words of Sir Fred Hoyle, professor of astronamy at cambridge university," The chance that higher life forms might have emerged through evolution is comparable to the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junkyard might assemble a boeing 747 from the materials therein". He concluded, "The likelihood of the formation of life from inanimate matter is one out of 10 to the 40,000 power".
GOD BLESS YOU AND LEAD YOU OUT OF THE LIE OF EVOLUTION AND INTO THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST WHO IS BLESSED FOR EVER AND EVER AMEN AND SO BE IT...

Answer 4

Evolution is good for explaining the changes that take place over many millennia to create different species from variations. Jesus can't do that.

Jesus would be good if you wanted a new side table, or a chair, or a chest of drawers. Or an inspiring speech (especially if you were meek). Except that he died almost 2,000 years ago. So he wouldn't be much use for those either, now.

Answer 5

Jesus

Answer 6

J-Rod on the Radio is very very wrong, most scientists do not reject evolution. Admitting that random natural selection doesn't fully explain the process does not equal a flat rejection! You will find that a lot of research in the area of fractals is ongoing in search of a chaotic pattern formation that could explain the origin of RNA. Also, do not confuse the theory of evolution with the origin of life! Evolution refers to the process of natural selection, by which species branch off due to favourable defects. The theory of evolution has never attempted to describe the origin of life. That vast majority of scientist accept evolution but do not accept all the different mechanisms by which life emerged (and there are many). How can a scientist agree with all the theories of the origin of life? That would make no sence, so your statistic is wrong and flawed. Please refrain from telling us scientists what we believe.

kieth c, man did not come from monkeys, the theory of evolution states that monkeys and man had a common ancestor! Perhaps you should go back and read it again.

Answer 7

Jesus! No comparison. We wait for the next lies of evolution, but the Scripture cannot be broken.

Answer 8

False dichotomy.
That's like saying Quick Poll: Trees or Light-years.

Answer 9

Evolution kicks Jesus to the curb

But, what exactly are you asking? Evolution vs. Jesus isn't a good debate. Now, Evolution vs. Creationism is a good debate! Jesus was an actual person, just not the 'son of God' he claimed to be.

Answer 10

This question is totally meaningless. I am a professional biologist and am well acquainted with the facts of biological evolution. I am also a devout Christian who knows, loves, and follows Jesus Christ. There is absolutely no conflict between the two.
