If the "theory of evolution" was predicted by one of the main religions......?

Question

Would is make the religion more attractive? Would it be evidence enough for the existance of a God?

Answer 1

It is already...by liberal and moderate Christianity. And no, I see it making no difference because no one will listen...they are only interested in getting at the fundamentalist views. And no...it is not enough evidence to prove the existence of God.

Answer 2

There would need to proof of some kind, as there is nothing but books written by men so far. I guess for me it would have to be some kind of proof. I don't have a problem with the "idea" of God. I have a problem with man imposing all their hang-ups on the traits of a divine being. If God exists he doesn't have a hang-up about sex. If God exists he doesn't care if we worship him or not- because he wouldn't have the hubris of man or the vanity. Some foretelling of evolution would have helped because man wouldn't have had the scienceor mathematics back then to know about it. Lightening was an angry God, the earth was the center of the universe, the earth was flat- All these things were believed to be true at one time and science proved they were wrong. Darwin was a very religious man and struggled with his findings, he became very depressed after he realized what he had discovered. Its not that we don't want to believe we just find that evolution is much stronger evidence. There is no question that its proof. You know gravity is a "theory" too.

Answer 3

No. If it was spoken of in an ancient religion that developed before modern science I would probably think that the religion was founded or at some point influenced by somebody who was very observant and noted the similarities in different lifeforms, maybe saw fossil bones and put two and two together. Then maybe they attributed all this to the work of some "god."

I would buy that before accepting a religion as true just because they got one thing right. A broken clock is right twice a day.

Answer 4

Ha, I laugh at the idea of evolution. To not believe in God is to say you wont bleed if you cut yourself.
A way to make something logical, because they cant explain it, that is the theory of evolution.
Thats why it a "theory" a guess, a maybe, a what if.
Religion is about hope. Evolution not so much.
The fact that we are should be proof enough of God.
And no matter how much people argue it we cant deny.

Think: Scientist are usually those that do not believe in God. Wouldnt you make something up to shore up your own beliefs if you found out that there is no simple answer? Some things cant and wont be explained. Those that have abandoned God, fear him the most, so they burrow deeper into lies.

Answer 5

The earth is proof that God exists. But evidence is not enough to draw people to religion. The bible has hundreds of actuate predictions, ex. talks about the world being a sphere long before anyone ever sailed across it.
People do not want to submit to someone else, or even God. They want to live life for their selfish selves. There is more than enough food money, etc to feed the entire planet, the problem is people don't care. There is no saving this world.

Answer 6

No. It would be a very interesting coincidence or evidence that someone in that time was way ahead of their time. There is nothing in that observation that would lead to the conclusion that something supernatural was the cause.

Answer 7

Evolution in itself is a religion. It takes faith because you must believe something you cannot see or reproduce and accept that the probability of it migrating from theory to fact as a statistical monstrosity. Many religious people have been labelled as being being 'blind' in their faith, but can we say that evolutionists are blind to the real flaws in the evolutionary theory?

Answer 8

If it was, we would know about it (you said main religions), we do not, so it hasn't been. Please, do not try to bend scripture of whatever religion you have in mind to 'prove' it talks about evolution.

To answer the rest of your question, no and no.

Answer 9

No, because god is fake and evolution has nothing to do with religion, and they two should not be mixed because it's a conflict of interest.

Answer 10

The Vatican endorsed evolution, both this pope and the last one. But, does that make evolution so??, or does it just tack on one more problem for catholicism (unbelief)?
