Pick one, please: What's the best reason to accept the theory of evolution?

Question

a) It's this whole thing with evidence and critical thinking.

b) Satan commands us to subvert good christian morals.

c) Your suggestion here (please be entertaining, I've had a hamster-on-a-wheel day)

I am literally weeping with laughter here. Thanks, everybody, that was exactly what I needed.

Answer 1

c) Clarence Darrow was *hot*. William Jennings Bryan was a fat pig.


Also a) critical thinking and evidence.

Answer 2

There is no reason to accept evolution as any more than a theory. It is a theory with other theories trying to bring fact to fiction. There is no missing link and no way something (especially as intricate as our earth and solar system) came from nothing all by itself.

If there were any reason to accept the theory of evolution, it would be that you don't want to be accountable to the Creator of all. It is a way to justify (using a few clues and hypothesis) that there alledgedly is no God. Now, check this out - we can agree on the Big Bang, as evidence shows that there was nothing and then something. But, for all the atmospheric accuracies and precise alignments and balances, there is still evidence of Intelligent Design.

Oh, and as for "b", Satan commands nothing of us. He can con, trick, or whine a good deal. But, he has no authority over us to command.

Answer 3

c) Because on a daily basis, everything evolves around us. If we could look back over the last 1000 years and say that our world has not changed, then evolution does not play a part in our world. But we can't do that. One thousand years from now, our world will be something we wouldn't even recognize today. Isn't that reason enough?

Answer 4

c) is for cat in the hat. Evolution is best explained by Dr. Seuss, red fish blue fish, 1 fish 2 fish.

See there were just red fishes, but then suddenly it branched out into blue fishes, and that's why it's 1 fish 2 fish because there used to be 1 species of fish and now there's 2

Answer 5

Observations of hamsters tell us that wheel-running is an evolved behavior... They were the original inventors of the wheel, (according to the bible,) and they are the proof that evolution is, in fact, true.

Answer "a" would be correct and the scientific community of scholarly would all agree.

Post Script: Hamsters are far smarter than the average fundi-creationist.

Answer 6

C. Because it is so cool to watch the veins burst out of fundamentalists foreheads as they try to refute each and every argument, only to be confronted by the preponderance of evidence and the lies used to bolster their own position.

Fundies say the darned-est things!

By the way, did you ever notice that when you spell-check "fundies," the spell-corrector tries to change the term to "Fun Dies"? Coincidence?

Answer 7

Even though the true answer is (a) today I'have to go with (c) It pisses christians off to see someone choose something other than their creation story. Facts are self evident and boring, but seeing fundies blow their lids is AWESOME!

Answer 8

Because it's based off of the Gnostic principal of the Perfectibility of Man. Spiritual evolution mirrored in the physical realm of biology, As Above, So Below.

Also, Darwin sent me up an asbestos note, telling me that it really was true.

Wait, that doesn't sound right...

Answer 9

c) we evolved from monkeys, and since monkeys still obviously exist, evolution must be true as we can clearly see our ancestors sitting besides us.
Oh- and the banana evolved to fit perfectly in our hands.

alternate c)
Many humans also like to fling their poo at others for fun. So, this is clearly an evolutionary trait evolved from monkeys.

Answer 10

d) Kirk Cameron versus the Rational Response Squad... nuff said.
