For people who have a problem with the theory part of evolution...?

Question

Do you have a problem with the theory of gravity???

Newton fist came up with it. It was a good theory. It explained why you are not currently being flung out of your seat into the far reaches of space.

Einstein improved on it. He described gravity on a macro level in his general theory of relativity....

Now. Gravity is a scientific theory. Do you not believe it as a result?

Look it up in a dictionary people, there is a difference between a theory and scientific theory.

I think the book of genesis is a theory. Ha.

Answer 1

Newton's gravitational theory is observable to all. There are two major problems for evolution:
1. Time: There isn't enough time for the small rodent like mammals left after the last extinguishing event to bring them to the size and variety of the mammals the roamed the earth during the last major ice age.
2. Viruses have been known to man for approximately the last 200 years. During that time there have been billions of generations, yet never has a virus jumped species. Yes the have varied but they remain viruses..
With these huge problem I would ask you to reconsider you hardhearted attitude against God. Look for His love through Jesus Christ and receive life He offers you as a free for asking Him for it and reaching out an taking it... Jim

Answer 2

the concern is that evolution violates each medical regulation there is. existence can in basic terms come from latest existence and existence can no longer ensue by risk and evolution has no genuine clarification for how rely and potential have been given right here interior the 1st place. I see the information for a writer because of the fact i recognize layout when I see and that i recognize how complicated each thing interior the international and the the remainder of the image voltaic device is. i've got not got faith that by risk the moon and the sunlight fall perfect the place they needed to be because of the fact it form of feels a touch risky to me. If the sunlight have been slightly closer we'd burn or slightly farther away we'd freeze to die and if the moon have been closer the tides might wipe out the continents 2 circumstances according to day or a touch farther away the oceans may well be a real vast mess.

Answer 3

Here is a definition one of my profs in college gave me of scientific theory (he was sick of being goaded by idiots in Bio 101),
"A scientific theory is 'a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses.' No amount of validation changes a theory into a law, which is a descriptive generalization about nature. So when scientists talk about the theory of evolution--or the atomic theory or the theory of relativity, for that matter--they are not expressing reservations about its truth."
It sure would be nice if people wanting to debate evolution, abiogenesis, Big Bang or any other science would actually study and understand it first, its so much more fun that way.

Answer 4

The book of genesis isn't even a theory. If I said I farted and therefore the sun eclipsed, would you consider that a theory? Genesis isn't even a layman's theory.

Most opposition to evolution is based on half-truths like "the cambrian explosian" or some other random tidbit that constitutes all of their scientific knowledge. The Cambrian explosion was just life going at an exponential rate coupled with the fact that the fossil record is imperfect. But combine the fossil record with the hundreds of other fields that support evolution and you cannot doubt. Medicine, Genetics, Biology, Anthropology, and Geography are all fields that verify evolution.

Answer 5

I'll give an example, as I understand it:

The 'Germ Theory of Disease' proposes that micro-organisms are the cause of many diseases. This theory was highly controversial when first proposed but it is now universally accepted by biologists that micro-organisms do indeed cause disease. The theory is supported by evidence, such as the observation that penicillin kills bacteria in culture, and when taken by someone suffering from specific diseases, the patient has a much greater chance of recovering than an untreated patient. This sounds obvious now, but it wasn't always so - people used to think that the idea of micro-organisms causing disease was nonsense.

So, no-one today doubts that germs cause disease but nevertheless the 'Germ Theory of Disease' is still a theory - it is a proposition (or a set of propositions) which seeks to explain an aspect of the natural world and it is consistent with observable facts.

Answer 6

Its all a theory.

Evolution...THEORY
Religion...THEORY

People use the word "Reason" and put themselves in holes...because there is no such thing as reason because no such thing has EVER been proven to be fact

Now Just because something is scientific, doesn't prove there is no god.
Nothing in the bible says how exactly God did all of this...There are no explanations...
So us Crazy-Christians actually believe God did create us scientifically...

He is too us THE ULTIMATE SCIENTIST

Which is why not one single scientist has or will ever prove anything...
There will always have just a bunch of theories

Answer 7

there was nothing then a big bang then there was something matter collected together formed stars and planets then on planets came material to form life life evolved and here we are I'm not sure but we came from nothing sounds like a great theory one thing about science is that its proven wrong or its edited to allow for new evidence its never 100% correct for the most part

Answer 8

Unlike the "theory" of evolution, the theory of gravity is consistent with the scientific method of investigation.

Scientific method is a body of techniques for investigating phenomena and acquiring new knowledge, as well as for correcting and integrating previous knowledge. It is based on gathering observable, empirical, measurable evidence, subject to specific principles of reasoning.

Where is the observable, empirical, measurable evidence that a fish can turn into a frog that can turn into a reptile that can turn into a mammal? Where are the intermediate fossils? Where do we have evidence that can be reproduced today?

The "theory" of evolution is a house of cards built upon fanciful thinking like that of Charles Darwin.

"In North America the black bear was seen by Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."—*Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species (1859 and 1984 editions), p. 184.

HOW THE GIRAFFE GOT ITS LONG NECK

The giraffe used to look just like other grazing animals in Africa. But while the other animals were content to eat the grasses growing in the field and the leaves on the lower branches, the giraffe felt that the survival of his fittest depended on reaching up and plucking leaves from still higher branches. This went on for a time, as he and his brothers and sisters kept reaching ever higher. Only those that reached the highest branches of leaves survived.

All the other giraffes in the meadow died from starvation (all because they were too proud to bend down and eat the lush vegetation that all the other short-necked animals were eating). So only the longest-necked giraffes had enough food to eat while all their brother and sister giraffes died from lack of food. Sad story; don’t you think? But that is the story of how the giraffe grew its long neck.

Picture the tragic tale: Dead giraffes lying about in the grass while the short-necked grazers, such as the antelope and gazelle, walked by them, having plenty to eat. So there is a lesson for us: Do not be too proud to bend your neck down and eat. Oh, you say, but their necks were by that time too long to bend down to eat grass! Not so; every giraffe has to bend its neck down to get water to drink. *Darwin’s giraffes died of starvation, not thirst.

So that is how the giraffe acquired its long neck, according to the pioneer thinkers of a century ago, the men who gave us our basic evolutionary theories.

Oh, you don’t believe me. Read on.

"We know that this animal, the tallest of mammals, dwells in the interior of Africa, in places where the soil, almost always arid and without herbage [not true], obliges it to browse on trees and to strain itself continuously to reach them. This habit sustained for long, has had the result in all members of its race that the forelegs have grown longer than the hind legs and that its neck has become so stretched, that the giraffe, without standing on its hind legs, lifts its head to a height of six meters."—*Jean-Baptist de Monet (1744-1829), quoted in Asimov’s Book of Science and Nature Quotations, p. 87.

"So under nature with the nascent giraffe, the individuals which were the highest browsers, and were able during dearths to reach even an inch or two above the others, will often have been preserved . . By this process long-continued . . combined no doubt in a most important manner with the inherited effects of increased use of parts, it seems to me almost certain that any ordinary hoofed quadruped might be converted into a giraffe."—*Charles Darwin, Origin of the Species (1859), p. 202.

Answer 9

Creationists do not believe that gravity exists. "It's only a theory," they say. They believe in a thing called "Intelligent Falling", which states that God is pulling us down not gravity.
