God vs Evolution? What do you think of people that have never asked themselves this question?

Question

Okay so i asked this girl *21 years old, if she believed in God, she said "im not sure." Then i asked so where do you think we come from god or evolution etc. She said, "i havent really thought about it'

Im not saying i have made up my mind 100%. But at least i have thought about it, is this girl completely stupid? Does it disgust you that people sometimes just dont think?

No i was not over aggressive on the subject and she was quit please that she never gave a thought to the subject.
And this girl has plenty of time on her hand, shes a part time student that has never had a job.

Answer 1

There is an extreme shallowness in todays generation. Their highest form of thought is to whether or not buy an iPod Shuffle or a Nano.

For me, math has to be the deciding factor. Mathematical probability, as given by Hoyle, states that the chances of life to spontaneously evolve out of a primordial soup is one in 10 to the 40,000 power. Now scientists agree that anything beyond one in 10 to the 50th power is consider an impossibility. So imagine adding 39,950 more zeros onto those odds!

Can we use math in proving the existence of God? Actually, yes we can. God has provided the proof through prophecy. No other "holy book" can provide prophecy beside the Bible, and it is the Bible that declares a Creator God. Prophecy traces the origin of the Bible to being outside of our physical time domain. It reads in Isaiah 41:22-23,

"Let them bring forth and show us what will happen; let them show the former things, what they were, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare to us things to come. Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods; yes, do good or do evil, that we may be dismayed and see it together."

So, let's look at this mathematically. Dr. Peter Stoner (in an analysis that was carefully reviewed and pronounced to be sound by the American Scientific Affiliation) states that the probability of just eight prophecies being fulfilled in just one person is 1 in 10 to the 17th power. However, Jesus fulfilled 300 specific prophecies. A few of which I have documented here...

This is not even including the incredibly detailed prophecy regarding the regathering of Israel, the rise of Alexander the Great and later Ptolemy in the book of Daniel, and much, much more.

So, mathematically, the odds are in overwhelming favor of the Creator God written in the pages of the Bible rather than in the overwhelming odds against evolution.

Finite man that only can come to conclusions based on observable physical evidence? Or the infinite God that can see the past as well as the future all in one glance? Who would you think would have the better grasp of how the human existence came in to being?

That has been my thinking. (though I do own an iPod)

Every house is constructed by someone. We know from looking at the creation there has to be an intelligent mind
a Creator behind this.

I believe in Jehovah God because I searched and searched for truth. I read the Bible and I know it was inspired by God. 2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.

Jehovah God tells us in the Bible what the purpose is in life and why we are here, and also gives us a hope for the future.

Transitional fossils is an previous well-known between creationists, yet attempt to choose what this is you're searching for (or asking us to contemporary). Species replace very like languages do. a large sufficient inhabitants that's linked to one yet another will communicate mutually, and in spite of the indisputable fact that the language slowly modifications, this is going to achieve this everywhere. There are small adjustments in accessory (ny english, Australian english and so on) yet they might nevertheless talk to one yet another with relative ease. If a inhabitants replaced into to grow to be remoted for an prolonged quantity of time, the language of the now 2 populations will start to diverge, and at last they'll now no longer have the skill to chat to one yet another. Language evolution is faster than organic and organic evolution, so in a pair of hundred years the version would be massive. of direction, this is greater durable on the instant simply by fact of mass verbal replace. At no factor does any inhabitants experience that they are talking a "transitional" language. replace "talk to one yet another" with "breed", and you have (greater or much less) organic and organic evolution. As to your rather question; evolution is a technology and to confirm what backs it up, you will would desire to study evolutionary biology. this is not any longer some thing pastors & monks tend to entice close, and this communicate board is a bad replace for rather examine. Suffice to declare, evolution has exceedingly plenty (nicely, i'm being well mannered) all the info. Abiogenesis (no longer Evolution) is the sole technique which could create life (i.e. self-replicating, DNA-like molecules, rather) from non-life (tonnes of organic and organic rely, offering development blocks for those molecules), considering the indisputable fact that's what we call certainly one of those technique!

Answer 4

the way you define stupid and the way some else does are totally different, be careful going around calling people stupid b/c of this or that, you writing this question might make someone think you are stupid for even thinking there is a God or that evolution is a possibility, yes it is a little strange that people don't think about certain things but, that is life and people we are all different and have different interests

Answer 5

The question is simple God is the maker of all things. If evolution was a fact then there would still the evolution of animals into other creatures to this day. I do belief that man has evolved but that is through technology not evolution. You do not see turtles on the Galapagos island changing into another type of animal they are still turtles

Answer 6

It's funny--so many of the "answers" to this don't address the question at ALL, instead focusing on "god" v. evolution...

At any rate, I think that people who've never asked themselves that question have better things to do with their time. It need be nothing more than that.

Answer 7

well both the questions u have asked are kind of sensitive topics right?

it's likely that she gave evasive answers because she didn't want to be stuck there with you arguing for an hour and a half....+ depends on the WAY you asked the questions...if u asked them in an accusatory tone,guess she thought u would ridicule her answers..

it frustrates me when people sometimes refuse to even LISTEN to what i have to say before rejecting it....but don't u think "disgust" is rather harsh?

Answer 8

It's a tough question. Maybe forming an opinion on it hasn't been a priority for her. After all, what practical difference does it make, when you get down to it? I don't see anything wrong with going with the flow and not having to have a litany of philosophical answers ready.

Anyway if you seemed opinionated she may not have wanted to talk about it with you.

Don't be so quick to judge. Not everyone is going to be like you. It doesn't mean they're stupid.

Answer 9

Someone 21 years old needs more time to learn and make their own observations. I feel sorry for people that spend their whole adult lives accepting whatever their church "family" tells them without any curiosity beyond all that.

With age comes wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone.

Answer 10

Some people are shy. They very much dislike talking about "hot topics" like the President, abortion, evolution, existance of god, etc

She may just be non-confrontational.
