How in the world, with any kind of basic education and reasoning mind, can Genesis sound more reasonable?

Question

...than evolution?

Is that REALLY a good alternative explanation to the origin of all living species,
I mean, can't you do better than THAT if you are going to dispute Darwinism...and the rest of the credible scientific community.....?

Answer 1

generally, anything past a basic education would urge you to ask a specific question, not cast a general disapproval of FIFTY chapters of Scriptures.

specific questions! specific answers!

Answer 2

I believe in micro evolution which was the reason for start of the evolution movement in the 19th century.

Hypotheses were made based on the concept of evolution that all members of certain Orders, Families, Genus were related. Example: all canines have one common ancestor. This reasoning led to extensive searches for fossil records of such animals and many were found. Darwin and many other scholars refuted the concept of macro evolution because no fossil evidence could be found to conclude that two completely different sets of animals, such as canines and bovines, have a common ancestor.

The several ancestor theory supports the concept of Noah's Flood and Creation. The single ancestor theory supports the natural origin of life and macro evolution. Faith in a divine Creator logically leads to the Creation theory as an explanation. Lack of faith in a creator or faith in man can lead to a weak conclusion of the Macro Evolution theory.

In a world where about 5/6 people believe that a divine Creator exists, Creationism will remain the predominant choice; though many will come to acknowledge that micro Evolution has occurred since the world was created.

Answer 3

Darwinism is horrendusly flawed. It is only supported by blind faith and a blind eye toward its flaws. Those flaws are rarely ever revealed openly, especially to the public.

One major flaw, which has never been adaquetly addressed, is the "missing linkS." Some have tried to point to a particular find, and call it THE missing link. But the fact is, according to Darwinism, there should be billions of links; yet we find none. In fact, there shouldn't even be species; there should be billions upon billions of slightly varying creatures.

Then there is the foundational strata of life. Darwinism stresses that life began with complex molecules that imitated life to simple life forms that evolved into more complex life forms. Yet the fossil record shows no such development. The lowest strata is of COMPLEX life forms. The fossil record shows that organized life just burst into existence.

Evolutionists simply ignore that these problems exist. But they say that God couldn't be the cause, because they can't believe that life just suddenly popped into existence; yet that is exactly what they do believe, but don't have the courage to admit it.

Answer 4

Even Richard Dawkins, a proud, educated evolutionist has said that there is no transitional fossils. He believes in evolution because he hates God, not because there is proof.
Now have you looked at "modeling". Its been around for 25 years or more. Much of the evidence we attempt to use as proof or origins, does not do well on the evolution model, but does well on the creation model. There is a tremendous amount of "science" that stands in the way of evolution. Have you actually engaged the arguments or do you just scoff at what you want not to be true?

Answer 5

I keep saying it and I'm not sure if anyone's listening, but read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. Brings whole new light to Genesis. (just be prepared, most books this size I can finish in a day or three, tops. This took me two weeks, lots to think about.)

Answer 6

I find it much easier to believe that the one true God who has always been and is all powerful created everything we see by speaking it into existence than I do to believe that it all came out of nothing. Even studying one single cell of the body convinces me that it couldn't have occurred by accident. I think it takes much more faith and a laying aside of reason to believe Evolution.

Answer 7

The evolution story is the story of the mangod, the true creation story is that of the mitocondrial eve known as the goddess that walked this earth hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Answer 8

The only reason evolution exists is to further and encourage the belief there is no god, not the true pursuit of honest science.

Genesis starts looking more plausible and atheists looking completely foolish when you believe in the power and wonder of God and have experienced it for yourself!

Answer 9

Not at all. Genesis makes a good reading material, but never to be taken as true or serious. What's taught in school should not be mixed with biblical readings.

Answer 10

You are putting a lot of faith in some other human being's research. In actuality, you are putting your faith in their objectivity.
Good science is objective and without an adgenda.
The truth though is that most people are subjective.
