Answer 1

The truth is the creationist have a hard time getting a debate with evolutionists. The evolutionists simply will not debate them. They use excuses like " it's beneath us to stoop so low as to debate these country preachers", but that's not the real reason. After all, the creationists all have their PH'D's in all the different scientific disciplines and many of them have worked in the scientific industry for many years. The real reason is that the evolutionists have lost virtually every debate they've ever had with the creationists so they don't want to lose anymore. The creationists went out of their way, stopping short of doing cartwheels and back flips, to get debates with Stephan J. Gould and Carl Sagan but they never were able to get a debate with them. At least Gould came out and said he agreed with the creationist that there were no transitional forms. That's why him and Niles Eldridge came out with an alternate theory called 'punctuated equilibrium' that didn't require transitional forms, a theory that Richard Goldschmidt(also an evolutionists) called the 'hopeful monster theory'. But Sagan, who used to bag on creationists every week on his TV show, didn't have the guts to confront creationists face to face in a debate. But I guess that's understandable why they don't want to debate. If my argument was that the unbelieveable complexity of the human brain(not to mention the rest of the body) is nothing more than re-arranged pond scum from the original prebiotic soup re-arranged over billions of years into 100 trillion connections in the brain by luck…..just random chance, I wouldn't be that confident either.
If I was arguing that dumb mud somehow bootstrapped itself into intelligence over billions of years simply by random chance luck, I wouldn't want to debate either. If I were arguing that man is just a lump of slime that somehow evolved into rationality I'd run and hide as far away as I could from any kind of a debate. I guess that's why Dr. Louis Bounoure, Director of the Zoological Museum and Director of Research at the National Center of Scientific Research in France said "evolution is a fairy tale for adults".

Answer 2

The fact that there is a Creator does not rule out the fact that we live in a progressing universe. Evolution happens, God does not deny this. As for your question on Darwin that is a complex one. Darwin believed every word of the Bible was inspired. As a matter of fact he was a clergyman. Then he indicated that the world was very likely a product of natural selection. In the end after all his wrestling and rationalization he decided that the world could not evolve without a plan and someone to put that plan in motion. He made a very clear recommendation that everyone should decide for themselves on this important subject. I am with Charlie on his final draft. I think the third option is the only correct one.

Answer 3

You "might not be impressed" with this "mere ignorant peon", but you know nothing else? What does that say about *you*?

(In 1859, Charles Darwin published his life's work: "On the Origin of Species", documenting his Theory of Evolution.)

(The Darwin Awards were named tongue-in-cheek for keeping the gene pool more viable by self-elimination of goof-ups.)

Answer 4

Darwin Awards are given to ignorant people. The idea is that if their ignorance kills them, it will be good for the human race (evolution) Their genes will not pollute the gene pool.

Get it?

Charles Darwin formed the Theory of Evolution

Answer 5

GRR!!!

How could you not know who Darwin is?

He proposed the theory of Natural Selection. Which states that traits in animals (and people--although, he doesn't go too much into people) are selected by how well they help that animal survive.

If a trait (like beak-shape) helps that animal survive, then it will be more likely to pass down its genes. So that trait lives on in future generations.
if the trait doesn't help the animal survive, or makes it die young, then that animal and that trait will not live on in future generations.

Darwin did not invent the idea of evolution--the idea of evolution existed well before Darwin. As anyone who looks at a monkey will consider that we look just like them. But Darwin's theory of Natural Selection is the first (and best) idea as to how evolution occured.

Answer 6

Darwin is known as the "father of evolution"

Answer 7

Charles Darwin was one of the greatest scientists and pholosophers this world has known. You can read about him here

and should read some of his many books and papers.

Answer 8

Eh, just an independent revolutionary thinking of his time, just something sheeple can't understand.

Answer 9

Darwin came up with the theory of evolution...if you ask me, he was on drugs
