Evolution?

Question

Does beliving in evolution mean you don't belive in god?

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

Studies into the Earth magnetic field, have revealed that it is weakening at an alarming rate. The effect this will have is that cosmic radiation which is normally deflected by the Earths magnetic field, will irradiate the planet, and every living thing on the planet. The effects of the radiation will cause mutations in the DNA of all living organisms, and new forms of life will appear to cope with the new environment.
When this happens, you, me and everyone else will acknowledge evolution as a fact, and we will need God more than ever before.

Answer 3

Remember that evolution was embraced by people who did not believe in God and who tried all they could to belittle religious faith. These scientists do not really want religion and science to co-exist -- they want religion out of the public sphere completely. When a student came home and asked Mom if God really did create Adam, then the Mom knew the teacher was talking about evolution. Children know instinctively that you can't believe both.

Answer 4

1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

Believing in Evolution requires you to consider just how far you think evolution goes. Do you really believe that we all developed from primoral ooze, or do you believe that you evolved as a human race created by a higher being.

Many believe that yes, there has been evolution of species, but NO we have not crossed species.

Answer 5

NO. I am no atheist ... but I have spent most of my life around science and scientists and I find the evidence for evolution absolutely compelling.

The Catholic church (which is the denomination of a little more than half of the world's 2 billion Christians) also officially sees no fundamental conflict between faith and evolution.

"Concerning biological evolution, the Church does not have an official position on whether various life forms developed over the course of time. However, it says that, if they did develop, then they did so under the impetus and guidance of God, and their ultimate creation must be ascribed to him.

Concerning human evolution, the Church has a more definite teaching. It allows for the possibility that man’s body developed from previous biological forms, under God’s guidance, but it insists on the special creation of his soul. Pope Pius XII declared that "the teaching authority of the Church does not forbid that, in conformity with the present state of human sciences and sacred theology, research and discussions . . . take place with regard to the doctrine of evolution, in as far as it inquires into the origin of the human body as coming from pre-existent and living matter—[but] the Catholic faith obliges us to hold that souls are immediately created by God" (Pius XII, Humani Generis 36).

Answer 6

No - i believe in evolution but i also strongly believe in god. There are many men of science that are also men of god. They are not mutually exclusive. A wise man once said that christianity had two major books - the bible and the book of nature. I believe that this is true.

Evolution is the way that humans were made by god. Is that so bad? It may not have been all boom and fireworks and done in a day but it was done. God works in mysterious ways - sometimes over millions and millions of years.

Well - thats what i believe. What about you?

Answer 7

well, there is a gape between Gen1:1 and Gen1:2 there were two creations or a recreation if you will.This is where the so called cave men came from. I cant tell you if evolution was at work through God in Gen1:1 but it sure isn't in Gen1:2 because he made everything after its kind. Although He created Satan as an angle and he has evolved or devolved from that . If you Believe in Jesus as you personal Savior and you've made him your lord you'll be fine..

Answer 8

No. Everyone has there right to believe in those things if they want to it has nothing to do with religion. But I have studied the evidence of evolution and it is not compelling to me that it is accurate. For everything to evolve it would had to evolve in perfect balance I dont think thats possible without someone helping it along. I think creationist are a little bit naive to think that God created everything in 6 rotations of our planet.

Answer 9

You can believe in evolution and believe in God. Scientists don't really understand what started the whole process, they can't replicate the process, so there is plenty of room for God in the theory of evolution.

Answer 10

Evolution says absolutely nothing about the existence of god or gods. It's only when you tie yourself to dogma that evolution gets twisted into being about god belief.

Answer 11

I wouldn't believe in god anyways. There's just no reason to think there are any.

There are a lot of things we don't know about. But there's just no reason to make up answers. If we didn't know about evolution, that still wouldn't mean there was necessarily a sentient being somewhere pulling puppet strings. There's no real evidence of any gods doing anything, so there's no reason to think there's a god anywhere else doing anything. Naturalistic explanations just seem to have a lot better track record at explaining things.
