Don't you hate it when creationists say "there is no evidence for evolution."?

Question

You gotta admit, they have guts for blatantly lying, and then hypocritically and magically declaring a lack of enemy evidence even when they haven't produced a shred.

The only way to deny evolution is basically to deny the scientific process, and therefore you are denying reality itself. So I suppose a few more lies doesn't phase the creationists.


Although those guts are borrowed from a dogmatic belief in God. Your thoughts?

Coopaloo: Yes. All the time. New bacteria, new SPECIES of bacteria, are recorded every year. They evolved from previous strains. We have created new species in labs.

The watcher: not bad. You are a good copy-cat, just like creationists are good at presenting BS in a pseudo-scientific manner.

Answer 1

people who believe in evolution are just as dogmatic .... and the scientific process is fundamentally flawed when it comes to evolution if all data and ideas that dont fit the pre-conceived models is thrown out ..

Answer 2

What small explosion on Earth ever created order like we see in the universe? What evidence is there for the Big Bang? I would say that's a dogmatic belief in no god. No one still has any clue how stars form. No one knows how all the metals formed, although they say that some of the metals can be formed from elements in stars. What about the rest? No one has any clue how nonliving material just spontaneously came alive. Layers in the earth, fault lines, fossil fuels, fossils (some even giving birth), are all better explained by the flood in the days of Noah, in my opinion, than by millions of years of evolution. The Ice Age probably occurred about the same time the flood ended. Common characteristics among living organisms could point to a common designer. They don't have to point to a common ancestor. The common ancestor idea is just the one that evolutionists prefer to believe. And if there was no good God, then there would absolutely be no good or evil. Anything that you could justify would become acceptable. Scary. Although if there is a God and you choose to ignore Him, you're going to hell. That's scary too. I really hope you don't make that decision.

Oh Jedi, lighten up a little.
Life is way too short to take this pseudo-controversy so seriously. You and many others believe you came from lower forms of life - that's fine, I won't argue with you.
I and many others tend to believe we came from a Higher form of life - I won't push that on you, I won't shove it down your throat - I won't even ask to have it put into schools as I homeschool and teach what I feel is appropriate.
God bless.

I do know that I did NOT come from an Ape! If there was evolution then we would see apes turning into men at all different stages of the process. There is a DVD that you should get and it is Called "Incredible Creature that Defy Evolution." You will be shocked at the things that you have missed and be misled on. I have heard of people that will file the jawbone of a pig just to get it to fit so that they can say that that there is evolution. Did you know that Charles Darwin actually denied his theory before he died? This is the man that started this lie. He said that he just wanted to be known as a fabulous scientist. He never dreamed in his wildest dreams that any one would actually believe him. I am sorry that you are so angry about all of this , find Jesus and you will find peace.

Answer 5

What I hate is that the creationists have conditioned their followers to accept dishonesty as a perfectly acceptable way for a Christian to behave. In his decision in the Kitzmiller v Dover case, Judge Jones admonished them for repeatedly lying in court. That's creationism for you. In order to further their beliefs, they'll even lie in front of a Christian judge.

I also hate the creationists for encouraging ignorance, because you can see by all the "there's no evidence for evolution" answers around here that they've succeeded. These people constantly ask for "fair" treatment, or for hearing "both sides" of the issue, but damn few of them *ever* take the time to look at the evidence for evolution

And I hate the creationists (at least the American ones) for trying to trample on the Constitution just to further their political goals. If they don't love this country enough to respect our Constitution, they should leave.

Answer 6

Although I prefer not to use the word instinctively, people seem to instinctively deny that which threatens their fundamental belief system.

Denial is a psychological defense mechanism which can't work if a person honestly investigates the thing they deny. For example, slave owners denied that slaves had equal intelligence to their masters, and slavery was a well tolerated feature of society because of this argument. Nobody would risk testing the intelligence of slaves because doing so would threaten the entire system of slavery. Once it was proven that every race was equally intelligent, that justification for slavery was no longer valid, and people had to accept the inherent equality of all human beings.

Religions enslave their followers in a similar fashion, but because people are so well conditioned in childhood, and because it is impossible to directly test the claims religion makes, it is MUCH harder to expose the lies, and therefore much easier for followers to remain in denial.

Those of us who have broken free of religion are similar to the first people who proposed that slaves might not be inferior, but until enough people accept and investigate the possibility that we are right, nothing will change.

Answer 7

I guess I dislike people saying such as I have come to learn the truth of it, but I find it equally distasteful when evolutionists claim there is no 'God' just because science can't prove it... or is it just because they haven't found 'God' yet?
How was the universe and all in it created? Evolution certainly seems the most logical answer. As to whether it is the complete answer, well who knows? I reckon the truth regarding Science vs 'God' really lies somewhere between the two sides.

Answer 8

It is natural to conclude, as nations gradually distanced themselves from the true Creator God and sank into immorality and polytheism, that their understanding of the creation became corrupted and eventually was used to prop up their political, social, philosophical & religious outlooks.

Answer 9

the subject is that we don't understand how maximum animals developed. The few that we do understand are nicely-everyday (like whales or human beings) and regularly utilized in biology books. Fossils are uncommon generally, so because it extremely is one reason we've not got lots of transitional fossils. different cases, we verify that most of the 'transitional' fossils we hit upon are actual no longer something extra beneficial than juvinille fossils of an alreay everyday animal. We might discover extra fossils of particular species because of the undeniable fact that some species are extra possibly to die in environments that are great for becoming fossils. as an occasion: maximum fossils are created in water, so it extremely isn't any longer impressive that we hit upon lots of fossils in terms of the evolution of whales... different reason is that scientists are extra possibly to look for fossils of a undeniable species, hence they are extra possibly to discover fossils of a undeniable species. as an occasion: everybody is regularly extra drawn to human evolution than platypus evolution, so scientists are extra possibly to look for fossils of human beings than they are platypus's. on condition that they are targetting a particular species, they are extra possibly to discover the transition fossils of a undeniable species. desire I helped!

Answer 10

yeah it bothers be, especially when catholics do because the previous pope made a statement that evolution doesn't go against creationism. and no, it doesn't. but there is a gap in evolution, theres a time when things don't meet up. i'm not sure exactly what era it was in, but i read up on it, and theres a gap where things don't flow right.

Answer 11

Jedi - I can't speak for all creationists, but personally it is a matter of the interpretation of the data. Obviously there is much evidence out there that fits the evolutionary model exquisitely. I just see it as a better fit on the creation model.
