Darwinism must lead to atheism?

Question

Okay, in my previous question some people xtians and agnostics say they believe in evolution.

Tell me, do you really think that you can stay a non-atheist while maintaining evolution is fact?

Look at all the evidence before you.

NOWHERE in Darwinism is the mention of god found.

you are deceiving yourselves.

if you truly comprehend, not understand but comprehend Darwinism you must, by default become an athiest.

really, I challenge you to rethink your comprehension of Evolution.

all this shows is that you have a very infantile mind.

Answer 1

Nowhere in the Theory of Gravity does it mention god. Does gravity lead to atheism?

How about Algebra? Does Algebra lead to atheism?

Evolution is a scientific model based on the best interpretation of the evidence that we have at this moment. It doesn't say anything about god (though a few people do try to get ahead of the data).

Answer 2

Sorry, but this shows you have a very closed mind, and you have closed it without first understanding other people's point of view. Many biologists who believe in Darwinism also believe in God. This is not because they have "infantile minds," as you put it, but because they don't see it as a choice between taking the creation myth literally and believing a scientific theory.

And by the way, when you say "Darwinism," is it Charles or Erasmus Darwin? Erasmus propounded evolution, and Charles propounded "natural selection" as the mechanism for it. The scientific evidence has not supported natural selection as a good explanation.

Answer 3

I am willing to concede that God may have created man through some form of evolution. In fact, otherwise, how do you explain all the different types of homosapien bones found on the earth. I am not saying it is a fact, only that is is possible. I also will concede that some men may have been created as men and others may have been evolved. I am a Christian but there is an awful lot of scientific evidence out there that says creation is not necessarily as simple as the Bible seem to indicate.

Answer 4

I am an atheist but I had a biology teacher once who was a Christian and a firm believer in evolution. He just believed that "god did it"
I don't really see what is so wrong with that. It is better, I think than denying the evidence and saying that God created every animal like they are now in seven days at the beginning of time.

Answer 5

darwin was after all a man!theorries are after all just that, theorries!if thomas and the apostles had jesus physically in their midst and still doubted then i cant blame you who may not even be a believer.but read the word(holy bible) with as much a open mind as you do these theorries and then tell me.jesus said,"many will come with false teachings.dont be decieved.the enemy of the soul can provide false evidence to totaly decieve you because hes the father of lies.beware.jesus has warned you and me in advance.thank God for that.before life passes away and you come face to face with the truth to convict your un belief turn to God for help.seek the truth and you ill find it.i did as a hindu and found it in christ jesus.today i am saved in him.Death is a unevitable reality.everything else that you so believe in namely of the flesh,physics,chmistery of the human body all passes off like a illusion.but belive me it wont be the end,infact it will be the real begining.i have had the astral experience once.the spirit and body are two diiferent things.i was out.the body was lying lifeless on the ground.then i was back within.that day and today i dont doubt our being spiritual beings.Jesus loves you."you shall know the truth and the truth ill set you free!amen

Answer 6

Mind is never infinite. It's causal that's why it's finite. Darwinism, Religion (as it's preached these days) etc. work in the realm of mind that's why they will never comprehend God. Darwinism is at least honest about it.

God is a No-mind state. You can't express it because expressing something requires mind. You can only experience it.

For people like us the only right answer to question of existence of God is "I don't know". Both atheist & religius people have big ego to claim to know the answer.

Answer 7

What I challenge you to do is reevaluate your knowledge on what Agnostism is.

There is no proof for or against a higher power, so how are we to come to a accurate conclusion. You are even now getting confused on Darwin's work. No where in his work does it state that to accept his ideas you must completely dismiss the possibility of a higher power. (Like you said, he doesn't even mention "God")

Because you don't understand....this shows you have a very infantile mind.

Answer 8

True, Darwin's theory don't say anything supporting God's existence, but Darwin didn't say anything against it, either. It's up to the individual to expand and investigate what they're told; if they believe that there's a way to accept and believe in some sort of god and evolution, good for them...

Answer 9

Why do you have to be an athiest just to believe in the THEORY of evolution? You do know that there is no set rule on how evolution went, right? No set timeline....? I believe that there is some truth to it, but I also believe that God is the one who started it all. Hey, look at it this way....it could be kind of like God doing upgrades on us!
Why do you feel the need to put down someone else's way of thinking, of trying to understand how we became what we are today? That's pretty infantile if you ask me...

Answer 10

Sorry to disappoint you, but Darwin DID believe in God and there are 2 forms of evolution (at least), Theistic and Atheistic. Darwin was a Theist.

"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone circling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved." Origin of the Species.

Personally I don't subscribe to either.

Cheers :-)
