does anyone believe in the theory of evolution, if so why?

Answer 1

All intelligent people do.

A small number of people believe that life was dreamt up by some sort of supernatural being as described by one page in a 2 1/2 thousand year old document written in an ancient and no longer used language.

We call such people idiots.

Answer 2

I believe in Evolution because, just like a crime scene, the physical evidence is a separate issue from any story, tale, or desire for things to be one way, or the other.
Therefore, any theory of how it all began has to work with the physical evidence left behind. Under the theory of Creation, where do the fossils & bones of past life forms fit in?
Some do not look at the two ( Science and God) as being separate issues. Some of us see them as being one and the same, Science explains the hand of God !!
The Bible is a fable that was written by men who feared the world around them so they made up the stories we read, it made it easier to believe in a place of scerenity rather than chaos.

Answer 3

It depends on your question. Are you asking for the Theory of Evolution or the Idea of evolution.

The Theory of evolution is Daltons theory that somewhere down the line we were related somehow to monkeys. And that monkeys over time evolved through a series of phases into homo-sapiens.

The Idea of evolution is the teaching that we evolve by the process of learning new things and expanding our own knowlege to build and learn new things.

No, I do not believe the theory of evolution. I believe the Theory of creationism, but I do believe the Idea of evolution otherwise, what am I typing on.

Answer 4

I was a science journalist, and have just written a book about the strong possibility that evolution (Darwin style) does not exist (incidentally, you out there, I still need a quality publisher). The closest acceptable answer (if it worked) would be Jay Gould's 'Punctuated Equilibrium' as a sort of, super fast genetic trick. But it does not work! No lab experiments have ever shown results. The fossil record is still the biggest stumbling block (and it shouldn't be). See Nick Bostrom's recent thoughts, along with Michio Kaku and others, that the entire universe is simply a computer programme. Who needs fiddly evolution in a computer programme. You simply fake it! And thats what the problem is. None of it is real.

Answer 5

I ask you: Why people can believe in the Creation Theory? There are much more facts to prove the evolution than facts (besides faith) to prove Creation ( or it's new version, the Intelligent Design "Theory")

Answer 6

I do because scientists today regard evolution as a fact. The evidence is indisputable. Do you really think we all came from Adam and Eve? There would have to be an awful lot of incest there...

Do some research on the internet, and you'll see.

Answer 7

no. i dont believe in the theory of evolution .but i dont mean i believe that we all came from Adam and Eve.
coz i think there is more to discover.

Answer 8

Yes, about 98% of the world does primarily because of the existing evidence such as lineage being shown over millions of years and common DNA threads shared by many different species today to mention just a few.

Answer 9

Yes. Because traits from species can be found in others and their common ancestor.
Evolution has happened in the present. When animals adapt to their environment. A good example are humans and their location in relation to their appearance and in some cases their immunity to illnesses in that region. (People in Panama are immune to some disease caused by mosquitoes while others people aren't)

Answer 10

that is what i was told when i was a little kid.
I believe in theory of revolution, that might be one of the reason that i dont have any religions
