Are There More Gaps in the theory of evolution or creationism, Which one is more believable and why?

Question

I don't think that either one is very believable...I mean If we all came from Africa then wouldn't we all be the same race? Can one really change their race over time? And If we all came from Adam and Eve then wouldn't we all look the same? Is any theory really worth believing in are they all wrong? I've been Doubting my Faith so much for the past month. Partly because I fell down the stairs and I woke up to prayers.....I'm confused.....Did some higher power save me or was it coincidental?

Sorry I Did forget to mention that I did fall on something sharp and did not wake up for an hour.

Answer 1

Wow... just wow. Go to the link from Creation's post if you want a good laugh. I like the hand print argument. "This is from the time of the dinosaurs (65 million years ago at least). How could there be a hand print? That means man was around with dinosaurs and the Earth is 6000-10000 years old." Basically he's telling us now that the hand print is 6000-10000 years old at most, well within evolution's estimate of man's existence. Either say the dating's right and man was there with dinosaurs or the dating's wrong and the fossil's from time when man existed by both creation and evolution.

And by evolution theory, there are no Adam and Eve. But considering that evolution turned one-celled organisms into life as varied as plants and animals, I think it could manage some race differentiation.

Answer 2

Creation is the cause of evolution.
Evolution is the effect of creation.
In the beginning, what did evolution evolve from?
It wasn’t ‘poof’ in 6 not 7 days; whatever the time allotment was, SOMEONE, i.e. GOD THE CREATOR, DID IT. That was the creation.
Then He MADE man from the material of which he created/ the Earth, and did it in a fashion that what was created and made could continue on it’s own.
That is what is now known as evolution.
Keep reading.
The answer to where the so-called Garden of Eden is, is at the bottom of one of these great oceans or seas.
Remember, the Bible speaks of God flooding the Earth.
When the water began to evaporate and subside and settle, the land that began to show first was the highest landmasses that were before the flood. Mountaintops.
And what is the temperature on mountaintops? I hear it gets extremely cold. Glaciers.
Man and creatures began to adapt, i.e. evolve to their surroundings. Freezing cold.
Man had more intellect and migrated; looking for warmer climate and took some of the animals with him and some followed..
Over the years, man and the creatures that too migrated adapted, i.e. evolved to the change of the warmer climate and hence the people of pigment.
Those that chose to stay in the cold climate and not venture toward the land of sun, because of the continuous cold, remained what we call white.
We are all the same race; the HUMAN RACE.
Because of evolution, we are not the same pigment.
As far as you falling down and waking up to prayers; it may be that you woke up BECAUSE OF PRAYERS.
Nothing is truly coincidental; we just don’t always know the cause of the effect.
Faith is the evidence of things UNSEEN.
SEEING IS NOT BELIEVING.

P.S. Probably more to come.

Answer 3

with the "all Africans thing", genetic variance and selective breeding may have played a factor. lets say we were all a twany colour. then a few have less melonin (pigmentation) and become a more native colour. they breed, and soon when they again interbreed, you have many similar people.

and no, we wouldn't al look the same. humans don't reproduce asexually, so we're not clones of our mothers. we look different from our parents, some even drastically different, and thus new patterns are formed. when those patterns are sustained, you get people looking the same. when a pattern is broken, you get variety.

I don't really see how falling and waking up to people praying can make you lose faith. we have gravity, so you fell. you were unconscious, so you were unaware. you woke up to people who pray. seems like the laws of nature to me.

and was surviving a miracle? only if you fell of a 5 story building or higher, or landed on something extremely hard or sharp.

Answer 4

There are a lot of gaps in evolution. That's why scientists have something to do. If we had all the answers, who'd want to be a scientist? Creationism is just one big gap. Too big to explain anything rationally.

And for the second part of your question: time makes creatures different from one another - whether its humans or some other animal. It took thousands of years for people to make a wolf look like a poodle. And that was with us making all the selections - smaller build, curlier fur, etc. Nature has had a billion year head start. And look at all the diversity you get from just a few thousand years: cows, pigs, dogs, cats, sheep. Amazing!

Answer 5

good question. skin pigmentation and race can change over time in certain conditions. alot has to do with breeding.
again adam and eve its the same thing.
there really isnt alot of other choices other than either one. (the belief we are all imagining reality is crazy)
evolutionism believes that all life SLOWLY and GRADUALLY moved into higher life forms. the fact is is that there is NO evidence to support this hypothosis if you look deep into it.
IF macroevolutionism were true, then in all of the thousands and thousands of fossils, there would be TRANSITIONAL changes taking place. not jumps. there have been NO transisional fossils found.thats fact. what is fact, is that species have gone extinct. (the dodo) and that fossils have been discovered.
1.) the human being, and a primate such as the chimanzee, are similar.having said that, the entire bone structure,muscular system, and anatomy, is VASTLY different. everything would have to be rearranged including the delicate inner ear bone.which controls balance and allows us to walk.
now, if man did come from a primate, or any other creature for that matter, there would be TRANSISTIONAL forms found SOMEWHERE. no luck so far. check out the difference in bone structure in humans and primates.
the neanderthal went extinct some while ago, dna tests have shown that they are not related to humans.thats that.human beings are a very special creation.you are special.unique.
a mind your own. thoughts and worries. loves and dislikes.
living on an earth just right to satisfy your body.
2.) the earth is belived by evolutionists to have congealed some how from a perfect soup of chemicals that somehow are juuust right to have magically assembled themselves.
over 4 or so billion years. now it is true that scientists were able to make amino proteins from an array of ideal chemicals. scientists themselves dont believe that this perfect set of chemicals APPEARING IN EXACT ORDER IN EXACTLY THE RIGHT TIME is possible.
even IF the universe did blow itself into existence, the odds of the perfect amount of chemicals, magically assembling themselves into amino protiens, magically assembling itself in PERFECT order,(out of millions of possible combinations)
into a perfect dna and rna strands and then assmbling its self in PERFECT order again into a perfect set of strands and then blah blah blah blah blah blah etc. is an INSANELY IMPROBABLE assumtion. kind of like saying im going to shoot my refrigerator with my 12 ga. and expect it to turn into a candy apple green 66 impalla with the best system EVER.
i dont really want to talk about God creating the universe cause it really doesnt matter to me how the crap He created it. (although the Biblical account sounds alot like how i believe God works all i know is that the is more evidence for God than anything else in this world.
its okay to not understand how He does things. were' pretty dumb when it comes to the things of God.
and its okay to doubt, i doubt all the time im a horrible example of a follower of Christ. but thats okay. He accepts us in spite of ourselves.
all i believe is that Jesus Christ was not a liar. and that the Bible is a historical document.(its written in that fashion)
and if Jesus (God) was not a liar, then He was telling the truth.
and if He was telling the truth, and He really did predict His own death, and knowingly die for somthing He knew to be true, then i think its stupid not to believe Him.
because by doing so you'll be denying and calling a liar the most loving, and wise, and perfect, and truthful,and beautiful man and the only (true) God that would die for His creation and horrible us.
its apparent God does love you. dont forget that love. remember it till your last breath. and then see what happens. :) after all Jesus said so.
p.s. to anyone who believes the lie that the things Christ did were added later as legend or myth, all the Gospels were written within the first century A.D. (not long enough for myth to happen) and all the apostles died martyers deaths for the very thing you believe to be a lie. who are you going to trust? the ones around back then, or the ones who have no idea what they are talking about.
i love you all. open your hearts.

-just another horrible, retared, adopted son of the Father through the blood of Christ.

Answer 6

Race is a social construct used to group together people with similar physical traits. And of course these traits can be changed over time. Take skin colour for example, in hot areas it's important to be protected from the sun so people with darker skin are more likely to reproduce, and so the population developed dark skin. In cooler climates the sun isn't such a problem, so people develop light skin to better absorb nutrients from the sun. It's really quite simple.
And the prayers? Yes, it was a coincidence.

Answer 7

All dogs in the world came from a single pack of wolves in china about 6,000 years ago. Look how much they've changed in such a short time. Humans have been spreading all over the world for about 7 million years. Much more time to get the small differences we see today.

You might want to read a book on evolution (a science book) or take a course or something. There is overwhelming evidence to support it.

Creationism's 'theory' is 'god did it'. It predicts nothing, explains nothing, tells us nothing, doesn't help at all. Evolution is the basis for all modern biology and medicine.

Answer 8

Creationism and evolution do not contradict each other. Many theologians, Catholic and Protestant, believe that God may have used the process of evolution to create life forms on earth. That does not really contradict the creation story in the Bible.

. To "create" means to put and keep something in existence. God is Creator because He puts and sustains everything in existence. He is the maker and final goal of everything that exists, all things visible and invisible.

The truth of creation means that God's loving creativity builds into each of us a meaning, purpose and destiny which nothing can take away from us.

Does the Genesis account of creation contradict the scientific theory of evolution? No. In affirming that God is the ultimate cause of all that exists, Genesis gives its ultimate meaning and purpose -"Why" the world exists. It does not explain "how" the physical world came to be in its present condition, which the theory of evolution tries to explain.

Grace and peace!

Answer 9

We'd look the same no matter which view we came from

You don't really think in a single year 1 million humanoids appeared mutated from apes do you!

Plus we all came from the first primodial cell.

There are more gaps in the theory of Evolution. Creationism is cut and dry.

God's a genius, God did it.

America went from being behind in the space race in 1961 to being first on the moon in 1969.

That is creativity in action.

If we waited for evolution to take us there we'd be waiting for millions of years!

Answer 10

last year in spring NBC had a DNA check on their people and different universities have studies about and the mother lode was coming from Ethiopia the ancient Greeks gave that name to this part of Africa because they believed the world come from but the Christians burn that info in library of Alexandria they wanted to establish the Adam eve theory the goddess of love and life called Aphrodite which means out of Afro and called like that cause in Greek Afro means foam like back in 60s you remember the thing..on their heads..
