Why do so many Christians believe in eviloution?

Question

Genesis 1:24 pretty much rules out the idea of evolution, doesn't it? Is it OK to question the very foundation of Gods word?
Can we replace the infallable word of God with the fallable word of mankind?

Answer 1

They have too much vested in this world.

Answer 2

how do you know for sure that gods word is infallable? After all, it was not the pen in gods hand that wrote the bible, it was the interpretation of another human being to write down gods will. If you are truly a believer of god, and have some sort of intelegence and understanding of science, then you can easily fit your faith in with reason. Mankind has proof, tests, time measure by carbon, diagrams, physical evidence. If you are an absolute believer in god, what he says in the bible, (what the fallible human wrote) shouldn't be taken completely literal. If you have faith in a god, then you can change your perspective, as ive seen many religious people do, and believe that God created the first cell that started the whole thing, If you can believe that god created everything in seven days, you can believe in evolution.

Answer 3

No part of the Word of God can "rule out" evolution, since evolution is an incontrovertible fact supported by mountains of irrefutable evidence. Truth cannot refute truth. Therefore, if any part of the Bible "refuted" the fact of evolution, or the fact that the earth orbits the sun, or the fact that the universe is billions of years old, that part of the Bible would necessarily be untrue. Since the Word of God, properly interpreted, is truth, the only possible explanation for apparent conflicts between the known scientific truth and the personal biblical interpretations of some Christian sects is that these biblical interpretations are WRONG! And that should hardly be a surprise since such interpretations conflict not only with known scientific facts, but also with the biblical interpretations of other Christian groups! Leaving science out of the picture altogether, we know that many if not most biblical interpretations made by denominational churches are WRONG simply because they conflict with the interpretations of other churches, and truth cannot conflict with truth! Therefore, with so many obviously WRONG interpretations of God's Word floating around, it is hardly surprising that some of them conflict with the proven facts of science. This does not question "the very foundation of God's Word". It simply questions, and rightly so, the ability of various manmade nominally Christian organizations to authoritatively and correctly interpret God's Word. Obviously, they cannot.

Answer 4

What part of evolution are you talking about? I am a Christian and I believe God created man and the animals etc... I also believe in change of species over time. That is scientific fact. Examples- people living in the high mountainous elevations have larger lungs and nasal passages than those at sea level. Change over time. People who have darker skin have more melatonin from living in sunny, hot climates (protection), than people who live where the sun is more angled. It took many, many years to develop this. The ones with the right stuff made it and the ones without it did not.

Answer 5

Sorry to break it to you, but what you think is the infallable word of God IS the fallable word of mankind.

Answer 6

The book of Genesis belongs to the Jewish religion--it also says in 1 Samuel2:8 the the earth is flat & standing on pillars--most sane people realize that is a complete lie!!

Answer 7

I am not religious, and I prefer evolution to be spelled with one "i," but anyway, it is simply a matter of whether you choose faith over what many people deem to be reality.

Answer 8

hahahaha hehehe hohohoh Christans do not believe in evolution

Answer 9

Or, do we replace intelligence and observation with fairy tales because you forgot to get an education?

Answer 10
