If we know that evolution takes thousands of years...?

Question

The why do creationists use the "why aren't we still evolving?" argument?

Answer 1

Because they want to believe that evolution doesn't exist.

How Ironic that creationists use the fact that they can't see it happening in front of their eyes as "evidence" that it doesn't exist... Anybody here see God in front of their eyes?

I would ask them, how did ethnic variations occur without evolution if we all originate from Adam & Eve? Seems to me that people evolved to suit their clmatic conditions.

Answer 2

I think the answer is right there for everyone to see unless they chose to ignore it and follow their animal instinct to deny the existence of a very intelligent and complex design going from the smallest particle in your body to the massively huge galactic order.

When people chose to ignore the creator it’s chaos everywhere and science can try to answer what it wants it can never explain how the world we live in was initiated in the first place, they ago as far as a big bang but cannot answer the simple question of who caused the big bang to happen in the first place or why ? They can tell you come from a monkey but they cannot explain why monkeys or any other animal for that matter hasn’t evolve into a humanlike creature or even developed the ability to speak, to feel, to have morals and boundaries or the intelligence and arrogance to make up crap about theories that doesn’t make sense about how he came to be !

They tell you a creator is out of question but when they’re stuck in their answers they just say we don’t know how or why !!
Science would be much more productive and would make much more sense it if accepts one and only one concept, the presence of a creator and sustainer of the universe. If only we accept that everything falls into place and suddenly makes sense !!!

I will finish by quoting one of the most imminent scientist of our time, someone who shaped the very core of modern science, Albert Einstein himself, on his death bed he while trying to write the so called “theory of everything” said to his nurse “God is not hiding anything from us, he only wants us to look harder…” take the hint…

PS: God does not equal church, I will not dictate which faith should be followed or which God is the true God but it’s you duty to search and find out for yourself, just don’t take the easiest option… your parents or your society does not necessarily hold the ultimate truth…

Peace !

Answer 3

That is not a strong support of creationism, it is one that is put forward by those who do not understand either theory. A stronger support of creationism comes from the molecular level of cells and such. There are many structures that are entirely dependent on a perfect order in order to provide a useful "evolutionary advantageous" function. Unless these structures came together in perfect unison in one unlikely mutation, than according to evolution we must assume it came together in a number of evolutionary steps. However, these intermediate steps, each of which lasting thousands of years, serve no purpose and are a burden to the cell which would cause evolution to eliminate the trait. If the trait is eliminated, than the complex mechanics of the cellular process/machine will never develop. Darwin himself even admits this:
"If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down. But I can find out no such case." - Charles Darwin

Darwin may have not been able to find any such organ that could not have possibly been developed by many small successive evolutionary steps. However, we have began to fully understand the complexities of the inner workings of cells and animals, many such organs and systems have been found to exist. Some of the more cited examples are the flagella (a cellular motor) and the blood clotting mechanisms in human blood.

Micro-Evolution, which is what has been observed within species is not contested by anyone. This phenomenon is what we see when bacteria develop immunities against certain diseases. However it must be noted that even my evolutionary biology book states that such modifications do not result from new genes, it is simply a result of certain pre-existing genes being more suitable for survival and therefore become more prevalent within a population. It is Macro-Evolution that is implausible and not demonstrated. The notion that due to an implausible number of accidental mutations, an entirely new species can emerge.

On this note, I found it odd that in my Biology curriculum, I had to run an experiment that calculated the forward progress of evolution for a species based on mutations. In the experiment I was supposed to assume that positive mutations (mutations resulting in positive traits) were 100 times more likely than negative mutations (mutations that did nothing, or were harmful). Considering the odds of a positive mutation, which requires an exact sequence of genetic code against the odds of there being any other sequence, I consider it to be a bit presumptuous, naive and simply wrong to assume that positive mutations are 100 times more likely than negative ones.

If you are going to arbitrarily dismiss creationists as religious fanatics who are blinded by faith, do not just assume the perfection of the accepted theories because it requires almost an equal amount of blind faith to be able to justify them.

Answer 4

Who says that we are not evolving? It happens but we can not see... If you compare human two hundred years ago and now obviously you can see difference

Answer 5

They haven't studied the theory at all but like to claim it's false. Ignorance is bliss.

Answer 6

I like that point about the bucket of bolts not turning into a jeep, that is exactly what evolutionists expect us to believe. As for being close minded, well it takes one to know one!

Answer 7

This nay shock you but....
Creationists are insane, closed minded Bible thumpers.

Answer 8

i have had a bucket of bolts and parts in my garage for years now and it hasn't turned into a jeep yet...

Answer 9

I'm not sure but i would like to know.

Answer 10

If you argue correctly, you're never wrong.
