Why do Christians pick one flaw in evolution and never one in their belief full of even more holes?

Question

Okay for all of you that give all of these lame examples of how evolution is flawed, did you ever consider all of the examples of how you belief in creation is tremendously flawed? I guess I should refer to the bible which is such a load of crap that I have no idea how you have the nerve to criticize anything else. First of all the purpose of science is to find the truth; plan and simple. Scientist debate amongst each other because they are supposed to. They are never supposed to accept any idea on faith and never test or question it.

The purpose of religion is to force you to believe in every word without question. It makes you believe in the supernatural no matter what. Religion is based on faith not fact. So before you rant on about the flaws in science, remember that those flaws can exist, however that doesn’t mean the whole theory itself is incorrect. Science never claims any theory to be absolute and unquestionable. Your belief claims that you believe fully and with

To all of the people that claimed I didn't give creation a fair chance, hello!!! Almost every non-believer used to be a believer and became non-believer because belief was unbelievable.

baby soft, did you really think christians would sit back and accept their label as being ignorant and without the aid of science, of course not! So they try to weave science into their beliefs but it fails miserably. Just admit that religious belief has no place in science, as with science has no place in religious belief.

Answer 1

It's because they insist their religion has to be 100% true with absolutely no contradictions, so they think that if they reason one fault with evolution, then the whole thing must be untrue. They're also big on the duality idea, so they think that if you disprove evolution, then you've proven the Book of Genesis. They have no idea how the scientific method works, and can only understand things by thinking of science as dogma, which it isn't.

Unfortunately for them, 1) I have yet to see some flaw-in-evolution argument that wasn't itself flawed (see the link below) and 2) disproving evolution wouldn't prove creationism anyway, as there might be a better model that explains everything.

Answer 2

I agree with you... Even tho I do believe in the wiccan/pagan religion I have never said that there was not any flaws. You can take 2 people in the wiccan religion and they may not agree on the exact same thing. because everyday things are changing just as it is in science. I am not saying that I have doubts in my religion because to me my beliefs go deeper then just the religion.

Christianity and even some wiccans or any other religion will have some in their religion that think they know everything, they know whats going to happen etc etc etc...

you have some in every group. I have questioned my beliefs time and time again. but its what I believe and I will not tell someone that I am correct and they are not if they disagree with me, however I will give my opinion, but not knock them for theirs.

It sounds a lot like you are dancing around the idea of calling people "true" somethings and defining what they are for them instead of asking for their definition of themselves. Be careful. :) I think you are confusing reading comprehension and interpretation within Christianity with Christianity itself. Those two things extend far beyond religion much less a particular one. I think all three of your Neapolitan flavors have tried to do what they thought was right - but you have to be exceptionally broad and liberal with your definition of "tried", "thought", and "right" if you wish to include them all. I think all three care and that definition can be much narrower. People do the best they can with what they have. If it is an honest effort I can respect that as such. I don't have to agree or accept it as equally correct though and I do not have to respect excuses or less than honest effort. The paradox, that you can be rational, make sense of the world, and not believe and I can be rational, make sense of the world, and can believe, just seems impossible doesn't it? Does it help if I tell you it also appears as a paradox from my side of the fence?

Answer 4

They're encouraged by creationist websites which have a large number of fatally flawed arguments to try and challenge evolution. The creationists just mindlessly churn them out without even the remotest understanding of what they're discussing. Every creationist argument against evolution is flawed and intended to mislead rather than provide a genuine scientific challenge and that is why I find creationists so loathsome.

Answer 5

go back to college.....if you have a theory....and a part is proven wrong....then the entire theory is wrong and must be cast out. And I am sure you won't accept this but its fact. Its the same with the court of law and contacts and clauses. If a line, sentence or paragraph is found to be wrong, then the entire contract or clause is dismissed and removed. Yet science won't follow this very clear fact.

I use to be an atheist, I use to believe like you....then I woke up and check the facts myself and stopped listening to the "hear say" of others. I found out the truth due to my own research. I would highly advise you to do the same.

since you like to say the Bible has flaws...lets hear some...cause you sure did a lot of ranting and raving with ZERO proof. Anyone can do that.

Answer 6

The reason we pick one flaw in evolution to discuss is because if we picked all 1000 of the flaws there would not be enough room in all of Yahoo Q & A to list them all.

There is plenty of evidence AGAINST EVOLUTION:.
First, the 'Cambrian explosion'...... the millions of fossil types in Cambrian rock (oldest fossil bearing rocks) appear suddenly and fully formed and without any previous forms...IOW, there are no transitional forms.

Most well educated evolutionists, when forced to, will admit it, but very unwillingly, and even then they always want to seem to make new excuses for it. Usually they just don't say anything about it and hope noone finds out.

The thing to remember is that evolution is still just a theory - a hypothesis, a speculation, an unproven assumption.

Answer 7

I find it interesting that Creationists will often employ the same tactic. They search through the scientific journals and pick out one single thing that, if flawed, proves all of evolution to be false. Their dogma is such that if you pick out one thing in the Bible that is contradictory or inconsistent, then you have to throw all of it out. They don't understand that science doesn't work like that. Scientific theory can be like swiss cheese... poke all the holes in it you want, but it still melts nicely over a sandwich.
(...bad analogy. I'm hungry, dammit.)

Even if the Creationists were to prove evolution COMPLETELY WRONG, that STILL does not make their idea correct by default.

Answer 8

Because they are secretly afraid that their religion isn't the truth. So they find a flaw in science and pick and pick trying to make it bigger so they will feel better about their seriously flawed religion.

Answer 9

"The purpose of religion is to force you to believe in every word without question"...????

You can't even understand what believing in God entails or what "faith" is...... you also claim..

"Science never claims any theory to be absolute and unquestionable"
WELL NOW , that sounds like the biggest ideology to me,, yeah folks , have faith in that.....*chuckles*

Answer 10

Nicely put. That is the most complete refutation I've heard on here. Well done.
