evolution or creation...please share your opinion?

Answer 1

Whether we evolved or not from a monkey and how long did it actually took us is subject to speculations... But I do believe however that there is no GOD-creator around us. Religion is utopia for the poor-minded and ignorant people all over the globe. Regardless of nation and belief the very idea to believe in an almighty divine power that creates and controls the world around us is just way more absurd than the well-founded theory of gradual evolution taking place millions of years and so.

So yes it may not be evolution as we perceive it but it is definitely not divine creation !

Answer 2

Evolution.

Answer 3

Both. I agree with the guy who said it was created but something kept it going all these years...and science is fact, not a bunch of story books with titles compiled into another big book...and that big book is MAN made and not all historical facts or books are included. That is not the case with science, and there is definite proof that things have to evolve over time in order to survive or become extinct.

Cell regeneration is the most basic and simple examples of evolution. If Evolution was 'just a theory' and doesn't really exist as a possible life explanation, how do we continue to live for so many years through so many diseases (i.e. vaccinations & antibiotics) and have our cells die and regenerate on a daily basis if evolution is non-existent?

I don't think it's "the only" explanation; but i do agree that it is a valid one, just as the Bible or any other Holy Book.

Answer 4

Evolution

Answer 5

Charles Darwin came much after with his evolution concerning the Galapagos Islands! Everything was here , was created ,we did not come about just like that! We are thinking beings , beings of spirit , we are made in the image of our creators, like everything else , can you imagine WHO or What can create such awewsome universe, when we look into the night sky ,the moon and stars tell us we are a tiny thinking spot in the wonder of all this beautiful creation! Evolution theory brought with it the idea of eugenics, the science of good genes,pure races bologney, the idea that man is nothing but an advance ape has cheapened the value of life!As long as life is a gift from God ,then abortion , mercy killing was murder!;As society has accepted the idea of the drunken Darwin , it has accepted the killings abuses,child abuses in all ways, etc.yes, things change , yes BUT all was created! It was here allready! The monkeys are stil monkeys no? ,But man is still man! These debates are good for us all as is prove that this thinking soul of our is unique in this planet! Blessings my brother.

Answer 6

Evolution.

But I don't see how the two are necessarily mutually exclusive. Charles Darwin believed in God. You can easily believe that God created the world, but also be open enough to learn how it works.

Otherwise, denying a mountain of scientific facts that all support the same theory just so you can literally interpret 3000 year old stories is just foolish. 3000 years from now, are people going to base their understanding of the world on urban legends about your cousin's friend who woke up in a tub of ice that time, or old episodes of Three's Company, or any of the other stories we tell ourselves? "But no! Men and women cannot live together, for Mister Farley would object!"

As to the other poster wondering why a monkey and a squid can't make sweet sweet love, or whatever that is - the very definition of a species is a creature that can mate and reproduce fertile offspring. You might know that if you had even the most basic grasp of biology.

A mule is the inter-species love child of a donkey and a horse (a dorse, if you will) that is almost invariably sterile. Same goes for male ligers, and other hybrids. They can be produced, but can't reproduce.

And in the space of, oh, a billion years - you can't even begin to imagine how organisms could change and develop enough to encompass all life today? Can you even begin to fathom a billion years? Look at what's happened to Michael Jackson's face in the past 25 years. I think we could accomplish even more than that in a billion years.

Answer 7

I believe in the creation of evolution . Makes sense to me.

Answer 8

The evidence for evolution is overwhelming, and the only way to argue against it is to ignore all the evidence from many independent branches of science.
Evolution is evidence based understanding, it is not about faith.

Did you ever wonder why lions and your pet cat look very similar to each other? Or why the Dodo bird was flightless, seemingly just waiting for man to come to their island and hunt them to extinction?
It is ignorance to accept that these things were just put there.
Evolution is one of the most robust, yet elegant, theories to be put forward. It is supported by many branches of science, such as DNA analysis, dentistry, forensics, botany, geology and medical science. In fact, I cannot think of a branch of science which can be used to reject it.

The main objections to it are faith based and are not scientific. People seem to be insulted that they can be related to other forms of life. Why? - because then it would challenge their beliefs that they were created in God's image, rather than having an ape-like ancestor as a template for humankind. It is this arrogance which keeps some people from accepting evidence.

To their credit, most mainstream churches, such as the Catholic church, have accepted evolution as a scientific probability, just like they accepted that the Earth revolved around the Sun many years ago.

Science may not be able to explain every step of every stage of every animal, and this is seen by creationists as proof that evolution is incorrect. Darwin never claimed to have all the answers, neither do scientists today make that claim, but the theory of evolution is too compelling and logical to be simply dismissed just because it carries the tag of "Theory". There are many current examples of the theory at work, including bacterial resistance to medication, locust resistance to pesticides etc.

Evolution explains the similarities and differences between all the living things on Earth. Creationists just ask you to accept that it is so, and be content.

Sorry, I have said enough for today. I'll save some words for tomorrow, when, no doubt, someone else will ask a similar question.

Answer 10

The way I see it, evolution happens! Creation is made!
