For those of you who don't believe in evolution: What IS evolution?

Question

Do you know what you're rejecting?

No non-believers today of evolution?

John Z is a perfect example of someone who knows squat about evolution!

Answer 1

Both Creation and evolution are faith-based systems when they speak of origins. Neither can be tested because we cannot go back billions (or thousands) of years to observe the origin of the universe and life in the universe. Evolutionary scientists reject Creation on grounds that would logically force them to also reject evolution as a "scientific" explanation of origins. Evolution, at least in regards to origins, does not fit the definition of “science” any more than Creation does. Evolution is supposedly the only explanation of origins that can be tested; therefore, it is the only theory of origins that can be considered "scientific." This is foolishness! Scientists who advocate evolution are rejecting a plausible theory of origins without even honestly examining its merits, because it does not fit their illogically narrow definition of "science."

If Creation is true, then there is a Creator to Whom we are accountable. Evolution is an enabler for atheism. Evolution gives atheists a basis for explaining how life exists apart from a Creator God. Evolution denies the need for a God to be involved in the universe. Evolution is the “creation theory” for the “religion” of atheism. According to the Bible, the choice is clear. We can believe the Word of our omnipotent and omniscient God, or we can believe the illogically biased, "scientific" explanations.

Answer 2

Are you expecting answers like "we come from apes", or arguments like "there is no transitional fossils", "evolution is a theory", "how come there are still apes"? Don't think you're more intelligent than others because you understand evolution.

We are not rejecting evolution because we think it is illogical, we are rejecting it because we believe the Bible.

Do YOU know that the evidence for evolution is just an interpretation of the same facts we share? These facts can easily interpreted to fit creationism. When will evolutionists understand that?

Answer 3

It is an atempt to explain how man got here and deny God's involvement or even existence. Darwin is supposed to have started the belief, flawed from the beginning. He did not understand anything was smaller than the single cell organisms he could see. for him it was a simple mixing a few chemicals, heat and serve. Now we know RNA, DNA, complex molecules that make a single cell and could not originate by accident. Scientists can't make it on purpose in labs.

Also, it is an attempt to elevate man. by saying we started on the bottom and worked our way up, man is elavated. Instead of creation, which man started as perfect and we have worked our way down.

Answer 4

I know what evolution is, and I'm a Christian.

Evolution is the process by which a particular genetic sequence becomes mutated so as to produce offspring of a different species or sub-species. Typically, this process is completed through "natural selection" in which a particular trait - typically recessive - becomes a requirement for survival of a particular species in a particular geographic area and thus becomes the dominant trait.

This answer is my own and was not duplicated nor produced by Google, Wikipedia, a text book or any other previously published medium. This is my understanding of the evolutionary process.

Even as a Christian, I do not dispute natural selection in the slightest. It's obviously apparent and observable. I don't think that any Christian with an understanding of genetics or even history would dispute natural selection to an extent.

However, when fruit flies mutate, they're still fruit flies. When snakes mutate, they're still snakes. And so on and so forth. We don't call humans born with a mutation or some other anomaly non-human. They're just as human as the rest of us. At what point do humans deform to the point that they're no longer human?

Answer 5

Evolution is the process of growth and change / adaptation of living things over time.

I'm a Christian and do not reject evolution. I DO reject the idea that this process of natural growth and change is responsible for all the creative power that made living things from raw compounds in the dirt. I'm a biologist and that seems very strange to me!

Answer 6

Yes you got one,the theory of evolution is simply still a theory,notice how it has not had a name change even yet,it is theoritical because there is no absolute proof that a raptor for example evolved into a bird,nor an ape into a man.

Answer 7

"Evolution is an evil concoction of Satan, who planted fossils in the ground attempting to puzzle us....."


More or less, this is what they'll give you, this or a boringly long strand of scripture
