Is is possible/logical to believe in evolution and God?

Answer 1

If you believe God is in a image of a monkey/ape.

Answer 2

Yes, the Catholic Church (and there are a lot of us), has separated the development of the soul and the evolution of the body. In other words, it accepts that evolution is probable - see link below. Just like it accepted that the Earth revolved around the Sun many years ago. And guess what? Religion did not collapse then, either. No one has to give up their beliefs in order to understand evolution.
Some people have this misguided belief that God would be offended if we point out the relationship humans have with all other animals on Earth. The evidence for evolution is overwhelming, and the only way some people can combat it is to ignore it all.

Answer 3

I do and can verify my own theory with the Bible. I believe that God indeed made the world and everything in it in 6 days and rested on the seventh (that's 6 X 24 hours). I believe that He put Adam and Eve in the garden and there they stayed for perhaps millions of years, while evolution occurred all around them.

It answers questions like why they had to stay in a walled garden when the whole world was created for them, and where Cain got a wife. It explains how evolution and creation go together and how both sides are right ... and wrong.

My theory acknowledges that God's word is Truth, but also acknowledges that evolution occured.

Answer 4

Yes it is. It is certainly possible to believe that God used evolution as the means of bringing about life. Having said that, what does the Bible say? It says clearly that God spoke and it happened over six ordinary days. So while it is possible and logical to be a theistic evolutionist, it is not a biblical position to hold.

Answer 5

It would depend on how far back in time you want to go!
What was the cause or the spark that started all life on Earth?
No scientific body can reproduce or set the conditions to start life!
Science has achieved in is starting life, but with established proteins, NOT from scratch.
So until a better answer can be found, YES God and evolution can be believed.
OH, and I am an Atheist!

Answer 6

I think so. I personally do not believe in God, but there is no reason one should not be able to believe in both. Especially if you take the Bible as I believe it should be taken (as a series of stories, meant to teach lessons, *not* as fact), there's no reason why you can't believe that a God put things in motion which leads to evolution.
And as another person said, believe what you want to believe, what you feel comfortable to believe.

Answer 7

Yes, God is truly sovereign (meaning that God can do whatever God wants in anyway God chooses), then who are we to try to limit God ("tie God's hands") by saying *how* creation occurred? If God chose to use evolution as a vehicle for creation, that in no way diminishes the fact that we are still creatures of God, and the world is God's handiwork.

Answer 8

I believe in evolution through creation. Not to say that we were once monkeys but we have evolved through the ages. I imagine early man probably being more stocky, hairier (due to exposure to climate) etc. But the whole idea of God creating the big bang and everything evolving from that? Naaa

Answer 9

If Darwinism is true, then there are five inescapable conclusions: (1) there is no evidence for God, (2) there is no life after death, (3) there is no absolute foundation for right and wrong, (4) there is no ultimate meaning for life, and (5) people don't really have free will.

Actually, Darwinism is too far-fetched to be credible. The father of all space sciences ( Werner von Braun ) said, "The vast mysteries of the universe should only confirm our belief of the certainty of its Creator. I find it as difficult to understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science.

Answer 10

Absolutely! God started the process and it really doesn't matter how, because we weren't there, we don't have all the answers, and it is possible He used the process of evolution after He got everything done and let it go from there!

Answer 11

You don't define "evolution". Everything evolves. Always has,always will. I assume you are referring to darwin's theory,which seriously proposes - with no evidence - that one species can transmute itself into another species (he never said how). This booger is like a substitute god to anti-theists. However since this is what evolution refers to in popular parlance,I will respond accordingly.
No. It would be the equivilant of a cheap parlor trick. You would need to employ some pseudo-logical sleight-of-hand maneuver like unto a card stunt out of a juvenile manual for teenage magicians. Plus,nobody would like you. You wouldn't be popular any more,get invited to parties. People might even think you were drunk,to talk like that. I think you're drunk. I've always thought you were drunk. My thinking on that has been evolving for quite some time. Years,billions of 'em. Anyway,let me know when you transmute into another species. Now that'll be worth a sound-bite on the evening news.
