Five reasons that evolution does not belong in Christianity?

Question

1. The doctorin of evolution teachs unbelief in the hand of our Heavenly Father

2. Evolution doesn't strengthen our faith is weakens it.

3. With Evolution the Jews do not exist and neither does Jesus.
Both the Jews and Jesus desended from Abraham according to the bible. If there is no Adam or Eve there is no Abraham.

4. How Was Marriage Instituted?
If man and woman just gradually evolved, then the marriage institution itself must also have gradually evolved

5. Evolution Implies There Is No Real Purpose in Life
George Gaylord Simpson said, "Man is the result of a purposeless and natural process that did not have him in mind." (Impact, 6/2001)

Evolutionist Richard Dawkins' said the characteristics of the universe imply that it has "no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but pointless indifference" (Impact, 6/2001)

BONUS PROOF Evolution Says That Death Was a Necessary Part of Man's Development. The Bible Says There Was No Death Until After Man Sinned.

Answer 1

You obviously have trouble grasping subtle differences...(can't even spell right)

"The doctorin of evolution teachs unbelief in the hand of our Heavenly Father"
1. First, the theory of evolution says nothing about belief or nonbelief. You don't have to be an atheist to understand the proofs and the scientific logic of evolution. Did you consider that the hand of the Creator may be working through evolution?

"Evolution doesn't strengthen our faith is weakens it."
2. I'm a very devout Christian and a science major. Evolution gives me the insight that the life that God created is in the process of continuing change.

"With Evolution the Jews do not exist and neither does Jesus."
3. Stupid statement, I have to say. Evolution says nothing about the existence/nonexistence of particular people. It only says that people came to be through a gradual process. Obviously, Jews exist. I have a Jewish friend, you know. Biblical scholars will tell you that Adam and Eve were mythological characters representing the first people. The first people were real, and were products of evolution. Abraham was a man. Jesus was a man, a real historical figure. Since evolution applies to man, then evolution does not contradict the reality that Jesus exists.

"If man and woman just gradually evolved, then the marriage institution itself must also have gradually evolved"
4. Yes, it did. Haha.
I don't get why this is a problem. Marriage is a union, where man and woman share in the Divine love. AND marriage is a product of culture and cultures develop over time. Did you take history and anthropology lessons, dear?

"Evolution Implies There Is No Real Purpose in Life"
5. Evolution implies nothing about meaning in life. It simply does not say anything about it. There's a difference between being silent and saying no. Through faith and religion, we realize that we came from God and are destined to be with God in his fullness. We live his commandment of Love. That is our meaning. Evolution simply says HOW we came to be, and is silent on what our meaning is. Religion says WHY and what we live for. Science and religion do not have to be in conflict, if you keep an open mind, read a lot, and think critically.

(or do you mean to tell me you believe that the whole world was literally created in seven days? What is the religious salvific difference between the world being created in days, and being created over billions of years? stupid fundamentalists...)

the bonus proof? please...

Answer 2

A few I can agree with (2,4). Evolution is reality, reality has evidence and facts, evidence and facts challenge faith since faith is belief without evidence.
Marriage did evolve gradually. Moreover, Christianity didn't invent it. It was here before your religion and in other parts of the world without your religion.

However, 1-- No, evolution teaches change in living things over time. It says nothing about a heavenly father.

3 - Uhm. What? 5 - See response to number 1. It says nothing about a purpose in life. Just because things evolved, doesn't mean you should believe your few decades within the billions of years of the universe isn't special.

Answer 3

1. I've never seen where the theory of evolution addresses the issue of whether or not there is a God.
2. I know many believers who are able to believe in God, and still believe evolution to be true.
3. I don't understand this point, but am open to hearing more about it.
4. The theory of evolution is silent on how marriage was instituted.
5. I don't see how, but again, I'm open to hearing more about it.
Dawkins has his own agenda, which has nothing to do with evolution.

Answer 4

1.) Evolution does not teach an unbelief in the Heavenly father, it is he that started and guides evolution.

2.) Life on the planet could not have just evolved it needs guidance and tweaking to produce what we have now.

3.) According to the bible, well the Bible is not to be taken literally. But Adam and Eve could have been the first two homosapians and therefor everyon decinded from them,

4.) Marriage evoled as a social instution in most cultures regarless of their religious belief system.

5.) To you it implies that to me it says that i have a purpose to evolve and learn more and become a better person.

Answer 5

1. wrong
2. wrong
3.wrong
4. wrong
5. Sort of right. It implies that life has no inherant purpose, but that the purpose is the one we find.... no one gets to dictate why we are here except ourselves. But that's an implication, not a statement within evolution itself.

You seem to have a number of problems wrong with your premise.

Evolution is the change in allele frequencies in a population over time. If you would like to debate it, I expect you to at the very least know that. How does the change in allele frequencies in a population over time say anything about god, marriage, death, Jews or anything like that?

It does not.

Go to the biology section and ask for the definition of evolution. Ignoring the fundies, you will see change in allele frequency in a population over time in most of thye answers you get.

That's because you learn that even in High School biology.

Answer 6

Here's some food for thought:

Did I descend from apes?

Well, I descended from my parents. So, did "I" meaning, my DNA, descend from apes?

In that case, you are implying that DNA, the "I", is not only me, but also you, because you, as DNA, also descended from apes, so although our DNA's are different, it is still DNA in general that moved from primate to human. so it means we are all one collective unit.

If not, then I didn't descend from anything but my parents. But if you admit that the I is collective and unified, then you believe in some type of higher-consciousness, over-soul, God, or what have you.

Take a look at these two sentences:

DNA is a process of information creating life.
God is a principle of knowledge creating life.

They're talking about the exact same concept!

Regardless of the scientific inquiry, the religions of the world figured life out well before scientists. True, religions might be said to have found a "primative" explanation, but it's still the correct explanation, not to mention they got to it first.

And if you can't understand my theories, think of it this way. I didn't descend from apes, I ascended from them.

Answer 7

can i play crazy metaphysical axioms too?
what axiom can i use? i know, the moon is made of cheese
therefore:
1. cows must come from outer space.

2.the moon was created because of the gravitational attraction of cows pulled them all together in one spot orbiting the earth and squeezed the milk from their udders. a meteor strike scattered all of the cows and left the milk to turn into cheese.

3. the cows struck by the meteor were sent into deep space, where their random lactation formed the milky way.

4. if cows come from outer space and are vacuum loving creatures, the cows who lounge around in fields eating grass on earth are impostors.

5. if the moon is made of cheese there must be a purpose for it. that must mean that the purpose of the moon is to provide food for cosmic mice.

whoohoo, bonus for cat in a hat. he'll be cat in a helmet as there is no skirting or sofas for those pesky mices to hide behind in space. don't you just hate those mices to pieces.

Answer 8

It isn't that Christians are denying observable evidence for how things function, it is that they do not draw the same conclusions that some atheistic scientists do. See the movie "Expelled." You will see that there are scientists that come to different viewpoints at the end of it all. How is it that you cannot fathom a divine designer when everything we know is so perfectly tuned and evident of design? A big bang had to have a cause since things don't just happen when there is nothing to bring them about. And DNA is so ordered, it is amazing how you can't look at it and be amazed at the necessary mind behind its structure. Evolution says that everything evolved from a single organism that just happened billions of years ago. Christianity disagrees, and Christ disagreed, and so far he is the only person we know who could change nature and raise himself from the dead. I'd take his word for it over whatever politically correct position science is currently buying. Besides, we've seen the result of Darwinian evolutionary theory worked out in communism and Nazism. Again, nobody is ignoring evidence on this side, but atheistic scientists definitely do.

Answer 9

You haven't provided any proof that evolution isn't real. You have just provided proof that evolution doesn't support your mythology.

Answer 10

Evolution and Creation do not have to negate each other. Science and religion are two different things. They do not need to be two opposing things.
