Agnostics, do you see more flawed logic in the evolution theory, or in the God theory?

Question

Tip the scales.

Note to all: The fact that God "isn't" a "theory", is irrelevant. An agnostic finds some form of flawed logic behind both concepts of evolution, and God. I'm merely trying to extract a "logical" answer out of perhaps a few agnostics.

Batgirl!: Thank you. It's too bad people don't cut right to the point, like you just did.

Answer 1

Im just going to answer your question and not get all technical like all these other people..
I see more flawed logic in the god theory. Evolution gives us facts and scientific proof wheras all people have to believe in God is faith.

Answer 2

Absolutely everything has flaws in it. From a logical point of view you can concur by contemplation about our level of consciousness, and why it is the main reason for this misunderstanding/confusion about vast things that we have.. 90% of all the things around us right now we cannot actually see, hear, experience etc, either due to our limited sense capabilities, or because it's just impossible..

Due to our limited consciousness we cannot even prove that we're not all in a dream land now.. let alone prove anything else to a degree of 100% certaintly.. God for example, has so many definitions and is described as being so many things, even if we had a direct vision of God, we couldn't be 100% sure (our perceptions and senses lie to us all the time) that it was real.

It's also possible that evolution is a load of lies, when we could have actually created by the DNA experimentation of aliens (that idea is really out there.. But it is just as viable as God: there's no hard evidence either way, and alot of personal claims). I suggest you keep an open mind, and reflect, research and contemplate.. Some of the answers you seek might become a little bit clearer after that.. Or maybe the amount of questions you have will multiply expenentially... ;-)

Answer 3

You are offending all of science when you use the phrase "god theory".

Here is the definition of a scientific theory: "a scientific theory is a proposed description, explanation, or model of the manner of interaction of a set of natural phenomena, capable of predicting future occurrences or observations of the same kind, and capable of being tested through experiment or otherwise falsified through empirical observation. It follows from this that for scientists "theory" and "fact" do not necessarily stand in opposition. For example, it is a fact that an apple dropped on earth has been observed to fall towards the center of the planet, and the theory which explains why the apple behaves so is the current theory of gravitation."

Since the concept of god is not based upon any empirical observation, cannot make predictions, and cannot be falsified, it CAN NOT be called a theory in the same way evolution is called a theory.

If you wish to use the terminology of science, a better question would be:

"Agnostics, do you see more flawed logic in the Theory of Evolution, or in the God Hypothesis?"

Beyond that, all the evidence supporting evolution "tips the scales". Not to mention that either theory or hypothesis being proven wrong does not imply that the alternate is true, anyway.

Answer 4

It's up to the person. I see no flaw in either position from personal views. New theory of some agnostics is, how do you prove Spirit? I think there has to be creator but don't believe man can ever describe, test, or begin to know such an awesome force.
I think the theory of evolution, has described (predicted,) tested, brought evidence to view, and offers a scientific base for it's observations.
Most people don't use theory properly. Most science,if not all is theoretical, because it is always changing as new evidence surfaces, or as new questions are posed.
The church tried, out of a sense of compassion, i guess, to establish truth that never changed. How this conforms to Jesus telling us to watch for "SIGNS" is hard to comprehend.

Answer 5

Actually, being agnostic doesn't mean anything about your views of evolution. You can be an agnostic and completely accept evolution. You can be Christian and still accept evolution. But there is no logic in the God hypothesis. And evolution is based on science, which has lots of logic. Or more accurately, it is logical to accept science.

Answer 6

I have never met an agnostic that didn't believe in evolution. Their philosophy is more about the existence of a god in general. Most of them do not buy the Christian story as literal any more than I do. (and look at my last answer if you want to know what I think of it)

Answer 7

Logic hasn't much to do with the 'God theory' as you call it. That has to do with faith, and people should not try to make it a logical argument.
Therefore, your question cannot be answered.

Answer 8

they both have a point where you reach and there are no more answers just more questions. neither is more flawed than the other. i personally think the GOD theory makes more sense because existence does not.

Answer 9

God isn't a theory, it's a delusion

Answer 10

u must understand the limits of language, to explain stuff. I t is always insufficient, thus we have art.

with art the scales balance.
