Why do people believe in evolution?

Question

when quantum probability shows that it is an impossibility for life to be formed by random chance? Doesn't math and science prove their theory wrong?

Answer 1

People believe in Evolution because they assume it.

Evolutionists universally operate on materialism (the assumption that science is truth.)

Science is an attempt to define the cosmos in terms of itself. So, if you look to science for origins then you are looking to define the origin of the cosmos in terms of itself...aka Evolution.

So Evolution is an illusion created by materialism (the belief that science is truth).

Answer 2

Actually there are two (massive) logical flaws in your argument.

The first is that you mistakenly assume that biological evolution relates to the origin of life. It does not and this is another branch of biological science. Evolution is how life changes. Not where it comes from. It also doesn't relate to the Big Bang (I know you've not said it did, but it seems several people on here think they are the same theories).

Your second mistake is your misunderstanding of probability. Probability does not make something impossible. Just unlikely. But the chance is relative to the billions of years and millions of planets. Taking this into account, the probability arguments make no sense.

So the probability arguments not only don't disprove the creation of life. AND this doesn't relate to evolution anyway.

Answer 3

People believe in evolution because there is evidence that shows species changing or evolving through the decades of reproducing. You are incorrect by stating that probability speaks against evolution as it's just the opposite. Over the thousands or millions of years, as species reproduce, genetic anomalies occur between the offspring. Once in a great while, one of these anomalies prove to be superior to the existing brood. This one then takes over and dominates, hence evolves.

Essentially, it's all about survival and being favored for survival. There is some evidence (although weak) that suggests an asteroid hit the earth sending it into an ice age. That ice age killed off the dinosaurs because dinosaurs needed heat to survive. Their internal enzymes that metabolized their biological functions required heat to activate and they could not generate this heat internally but had to get it from outside sources, ie the sun. When the earth cooled, the species that could generate their own internal heat for metabolic process took hold and prospered. These were the mammals.

The earth getting cool for a long time gave the mammals an edge and allowed them to take over. So you see, it's all about survival and whatever it is that gives a species an edge or advantage over another that allows it to dominate it's environment, or prosper in its environment.

Answer 4

'Quantum probability' shows no such thing.

I think you've misunderstood your Heisenberg Uncertainty principle.

Science proves the theory is correct. Evolution is a fact - people aren't required to believe in it anymore than you have to believe in gravity. It just is.

Answer 5

Because evolution deals with how species are created, NOT how the universe is created.

Answer 6

Certainly not because we evolved from apes. D.N.A. is the ultimate proof that evolution is a lie and has no scientific value whatever. Every living thing on the planet is unique and the only way that is possible is because God created everything. I thank the Lord every day that there is only one me!

Answer 7

People who really understand the concepts involved with evolution have no trouble believing it.

Answer 8

Because it could be tested and it's been proven just like any other science experiment?

Answer 9

well G, dont we humans look like a monkeys who had butt sex with a retarded fish frog? lol
