Do Creationists honestly believe that others think paintings and buildings just created themselves?

Question

Do they honestly believe that out of those hundreds of thousands of scientists, those billions of people that know the evidence of the Theory of Evolution, there is one person that seriously even thinks twice after hearing "but paintings and buildings have a creator too"?

Has there ever been, in the history of mankind, one person that, after studying evolution for a couple of years thought "Oh wait, what have I been doing with my time?!? Buildings can't create themselves! Dohh" ?

Answer 1

What amazes me is that, when you dig into theists' arguments against evolution, you turn up endless stuff that a schoolboy could deflate.

From everything I've seen of this mass movement of ignorance, it seems plain that those opposed only feel that way because they simply haven't a clue how it works.

Answer 2

Creationists believe God created the heavens and the earth. We believe that God created all things in and on the earth, including us Humans. This is not evolution but what is called "intellegent design". What the evolutionist community dosen't want you to know is that more and more of their scientific community is leaving those unprovable theories behind, for a creationist point of view.

You must understand I love science, I enjoy the science channel, and truly you guys that believe in "Billions of years ago" theories are loosing it. There is enough eveidence to support the geologic collum could be approx 10,000 years old if it was a catastrophic flood that caused the phenomenom, as opposed millions of years of layering. It is becoming more and more prevenlent in the laymans community that it is easier to believe in God, than a theory that you can't prove in a million years.

I know God is the ultimate scientist, and if you actually read the Word of God you would know that He is the originator of quantium mechanics, that is the basis of how he could be God in heaven and at the same time God on earth in the form of His Son Jesus, and God in and thru the body of believers, from then until now thru His Holy Spirit

How do you think Albert came up with the Einstien-Rosenberg bridge, I believe that God let a little of the secret out to Al... in a moment of meditation, and there ya go. Truth is I look forward to meeting Einstien, and Newton when I get to heaven along with a bunch of other scientists and Doctors as well.

I'll take the Trinity over string theory any day.

"Do Creationists honestly believe that others think paintings and buildings just created themselves?"
Herein lies your strawman: no, they don't. On the contrary, they believe the exact opposite, that it's obvious to EVERYONE that paintings and buildings did not create themselves.

"Has there ever been, in the history of mankind, one person that, after studying evolution for a couple of years thought 'Oh wait, what have I been doing with my time?!? Buildings can't create themselves! Dohh' ?"
Probably not in those exact words, but it does reflect the essence of observations made by men (and respected scientists) such as Allan Rex Sandage that lead them from atheism to theism.

Answer 4

Oh goodness. The observable and ponderable universe and the human innovations as a picture of the suitable theory are unavoidable effects of the will in creation. The animate developed from the inanimate. in case you comprehend the fact in a single, then you fairly be conscious of the different. The crowning success of creation became the visual attraction of minds that hook up with the Divine innovations. So in a feeling, the creation of the ponderable universe became for human income. you won't be able to have one without the different. i don't think of that the BigSHrimp is incredibly fascinated in the inanimate -- as super and remarkable simply by fact the actual universe seems to be, yet i'm specific that the animate has have been given HIs interest. at times i think of that dissimilar human beings have confidence that the human innovations isn't this form of enormous deal, it became a fluke, some aberrant shape from chaos. No, it became planned this way.

Answer 5

Statistically out of the billions of people that know the evidence of the Theory of Evolution at least one probably said these exact words. OK, not the dohh part, but something similar.

Answer 6

Well,no they don't. They are a product of intelligent design. I think that's obvious. A house did not just "come together" by chance circumstance flinging pieces of wood,wiring and plumbing together. Everything about it bears the stamp of intelligent design. So do humans and so does the universe. Odd,I thought you were an atheist. This is one of the most compelling arguments for a Creator.
Sounds like you tripped on your own logic this time,smartboy.

Answer 7

Let me put this simply for you. No one said that buildings self created themself...aside from you. BUT, rational beings know that science itself cannot explain how the universe was created from nothing.
.THE BIG BANG INVALIDATES BOTH AGNOSTICISM AND ATHEISM

The agnostic’s assertion may be expressed by the sentence. “We cannot know anything”. He believes that nothing is or can be known. If the hypothesis “Matter had a beginning” is confirmed, the assertion that “Matter had no beginning” would be refuted and the contention “We cannot know whether it had a beginning or not” will be proved wrong. Thus, demonstration of the fact that matter had a beginning is a blow not only to atheism but also to agnosticism and skepticism. Once the hypothesis of the beginning and creation of matter has been confirmed, the atheists should abandon their disbelief and the agnostics their skepticism. If you remember the words in the sura The Prophets, verse 30 ‘Will they not believe even then?’ this statement in the verse that described the Big Bang is a sign according to which the unbelievers will stick to their own convictions. It has become clear that an agnostic is no different than a Hindu who worships the cow and the denial of the atheist is tantamount to the adoration of fire; these people base their philosophies on absolute lack of evidence, sheer delusion, total lack of logic and scientific reasoning. The claims of rationality and the so-called scientific approach of the atheists and agnostics have been debunked. What is more, at the stage of creation of matter! (In the coming pages we shall see that both in the creation of the universe, in things created within the universe and in the creation of living beings, a consciously designed process is going on, and contention to the contrary, agnosticism and skepticism would be but delusion.)

Some materialist scientists had to acknowledge the creation after the confirmation of the Big Bang hypothesis. For instance, the British materialist physicist H.P.Lipson confessed that he had had to accept the Big Bang. He said that there was nothing to be done but accept the fact that the universe was created. He said that he was well aware that many other physicists like him had found this repulsive but that they should not contradict this fact just because they had not fancied it.

BEFORE THE BIG BANG

David Darling, in the beginning of his work Deep Time, describes the time preceding the Big Bang. He says that time and space did not exist; that matter and energy did not exist; that there was nothing, not even the tiniest particle, not even the void; that from the void a resonance was heard, an imperceptible vibration, an undulation, a whirlpool, and that the lid of the cosmic bow was opened and the miracle of creation sprouted.

Gerrit L. Verschuur, from the Colorado University, in his book Starscapes acknowledged that the thesis advanced by religion had to be confirmed. He said that the Big Bang theory proved that the earth and the heavens must have been created as had been contended by religions, and that this was the surprising result of the conformity of astronomy and religion..

It was concluded that time existed in relation to the movements of matter. As matter and its movements did not exist prior to the Big Bang, time did not exist before the Big Bang. Matter and time came into being after the Big Bang. They existed in correlation with each other. Roger Penrose from Oxford University and Stephen Hawking have conclusively proved in mathematical terms that the universe had had a beginning. The Big Bang theory confirmed the atheists’ assertion that the universe had to have a beginning if it had been created. In brief, the claim of atheists was invalidated in scientific terms and in terms of logic and reason; and yet the atheistic attitude is till prevalent today due to the obduracy, delusion and arbitrariness.

If there are two theses, the substantiation of either of them disproves the other’s argument. The contention of atheists that matter existed from eternity having thus been refuted; the fact that it was created becomes the incontestable truth, discrediting the conviction of unbelievers. Insistence of denial of this proven fact is a gross mistake and unpardonable obduracy.

TEACHINGS OF THE BIG BANG

The Big Bang theory taught us in the first place that the universe and time had a beginning and that matter did not exist from eternity but was created. The assertion that the universe existed from eternity was thus debunked.

The Big Bang not only demonstrated that the universe was created by the Creator, but at the same time the false beliefs like the distribution of sovereignties among divinities, each having under his command, the Earth, the Sun, the Moon and the mountains respectively, were disproved. It became clear that whoever He was that had devised the initial composition of the universe y having recourse to the Big Bang was the Creator of everything. Thus the universe was under the exclusive control of one single power and this power was not shared. The universe had begun to evolve from a single point; the author of that point was also the originator of men, rivers, stars, butterflies, supernovas, colors, suffering and happiness, music and esthetics. Since everything came into being emerging from the One, He must be the author of that ‘One’.

The Big Bang showed that the matter transformed into an idol, the matter that lay in the origin of the universe was an insignificant speck of dust so to say. Those who witnessed that from that insignificant speck there emerged men, beasts, plants, the universe in its glowing colors, conceived that the genius was not inherent in the matter itself but in something exterior to it, i.e. in the Creator. Close your eyes and try to imagine the void and open them to behold the trees, the seas, the heavens, your own image reflected in the mirror, the food put at your disposal for your consumption and last but not least the works of art. How could all these glorious things have emerged all by themselves from the dark and from one single point in the void? For intelligent minds, the creation unfolds itself not only in mathematical terms but also in artistic esthetics. The velocity of expansion of the universe is of such a critical character that according to the expression of a scientist. Had he velocity been at he very first second after the primeval explosion less than 1/ 10 (-18), the universe would have collapsed, sinking unto itself and never come into being as it is. Likewise had the quantity of matter be less than it actually was the universe would have scattered around making the formation of the satellites impossibility. The force applied in the disintegration of the initial composition at the moment of creation is not only incommensurably great, but the design behind it is infinitely ingenious. Thus everything was designed by our Creator to make possible the existence of the universe. All these events are meant to show the blindfolded the infinite power of our Creator and the fact that He had designed everything to the very infinitesimal detail as perfectly as one can imagine. We are witnessing another fact through these phenomena: impossibility does not exist in the vocabulary of the Creator; it suffices Him to wish that something comes about and there it is.

Answer 8

It really is a dumb argument, isn't it? The old watch in the desert one is my favorite. You actually can argue evolution from that story. If you find a watch in the desert, of course you know it was manufactured. But the technology involved in that watch has evolved. Is it a pocket watch from 1900? Our watches today are more advanced. Isn't this a form of evolution?

Answer 9

I have studied evolution in depth and the largest problem it has is that it is a theory based on assumptions that are not proven and it is a theory treated as fact.

This is just poor scientific method.

Answer 10

The ad numerum fallacy and other silly and assorted assumptions will never your point make. Now excuse me. I'm headed to the 13th floor.
