why do athesits believe in evoltution?

Question

1. its where goop eats some goop and becomes an animal. then the animal turns into humans.

2. made up by a guy who married his cousin

3. is a THEORY

(i wrote it again becasue some atheist cry baby reported me)

Answer 1

Atheists believe in evolution because they don't know the truth about God, so they make their own THEORY.

Answer 2

It is not something atheists believe. It is something educated people accept because of the evidence, whether they are Christians or not. The strongest evidence for evolution is that people who accept it understand what it is about and can explain it to you, while the questions and affirmations of those who deny it are so idiotic as to be worthy of the ridicule they are subjected to.

As a Christian who is persuaded by the overwhelming evidence for evolution, I would ask you to stop making a fool of yourself here and seek an education. Forget science, and even just get a serious education about the Bible from good scholarly sources and it will do you a world of good, because you will learn how to think, to argue, to assess evidence, and hopefully to know when you have a point to make and when (as in this case) you do not.

Answer 3

*sighs*

1. That's a straw man argument, and it's about abiogenesis, not evolution. Try actually reading something about abiogenesis before you behave so ignorantly.

2. Irrelevant.

3. The scientific definition of the word "theory" (from wikipedia):

In scientific usage, a theory does not mean an unsubstantiated guess or hunch, as it can in everyday speech. A theory is a logically self-consistent model or framework for describing the behavior of a related set of natural or social phenomena. It originates from or is supported by experimental evidence (see scientific method). In this sense, a theory is a systematic and formalized expression of all previous observations that is predictive, logical and testable. In principle, scientific theories are always tentative, and subject to corrections or inclusion in a yet wider theory. Commonly, a large number of more specific hypotheses may be logically bound together by just one or two theories. As a general rule for use of the term, theories tend to deal with much broader sets of universals than do hypotheses, which ordinarily deal with much more specific sets of phenomena or specific applications of a theory.

The term theoretical is sometimes used to describe a result that is predicted by theory but has not yet been adequately tested by observation or experiment. It is not uncommon for a theory to produce predictions that are later confirmed by experiment.


Last, but not least, please ask this in the science section next time.

P.S.

Not all atheists believe in evolution.

Answer 4

it makes more sense than noahs ark. Koalas somehow migrated from the middle east to australia. How in the world would they do that if they can only survive in australia? They would have all been killed. What about all the other animals along with no evidence of them transporting from the middle east to their current habitat? evolution may not be perfect but it is by far the best theory that i have heard

Answer 5

1. No, it is where random mutation is sorted out by relatively non-random environmental factors and over LONG LONG periods of time becomes classified as a different species.

2. It was developed from that and updated. Darwin in no apostle or messiah, I can't say he was a super-duper man myself.

3. THEORIES are based on FACT. Heliocentric THEORY (that we go around the sun) is a THEORY.

Answer 6

1. Fossil evidence
2. Biological evidence
3. A scientific theory has to be supported by fact to be considered a theory.

A theory is a theory because it is not directly observable and can't be reproduced in a laboratory. Another example of theory is Gravity and General Relativity, do you deny the evidence of these?

Answer 7

Science consistently supports the theory of evolution. Accept that your ancestors were apes, or at least that science says they were.

Why do you fight evolution so much? Are you presuming that God and evolution cannot coexist? If He is all powerful, He can create a science that contradicts everything in the Bible, yet simultaneously allow both events to be true. It's a bit far-fetched, but perfectly possible if He is God and is therefore omnipotent.

Tell me, is your faith so weak that if scientists one day proved evolution happened, would you no longer believe in your God?

You need to separate RELIGION from FAITH. Science can disprove religion, but not faith because faith and science are separate and have no influence on the other. If you believe in your God, then you should believe in him regardless of what scientists prove.

Evolution happened. Accept it and quit harming generations of children by falsely educating them. I know this is long and bitchy, but it is a pet peeve of mind to meet Christians who are so willfully ignorant of their own God and His capabilities.

And just a technicality kind of thing, but have you read the Bible? It's full of incest.....

Answer 8

I am confused as to why you wrote theory in capital letters like you are screaming it. Gravity is a theory, cells are a theory, adhesion and cohesion are theories. Would you like to talk to me about any of these theories.

I also don't get the goop thing, what is that????

Answer 9

Because of the evidence.

1. Well, when you over-simplify evolution to that extent, it really doesn't convey the gist of the theory.

2. The morality of a person has no bearing on whether his theories are true.

3. Yes, it is a theory. It is a scientific theory. That means its terms are well defined, its assumptions are explicitly stated to the extent possible, and it actually says something that can be tested against evidence. It also has much evidence that actually supports it. This is much more than can be said for "Intelligent Design". So, thank you for the compliment.

Answer 10

Do you even bother to listen in science class?
Do you ever read your textbooks- or any books at all? Because your spelling doesn't reflect any sort of literacy.
Do you even know how to read?

I'm just so flabbergasted by the ignorance of this question, honestly. I've met third graders with a better grasp of science. I think you're just a troll. Even most of the creationists here ask more intelligent questions.

Answer 11

LOL. Oh my God! You're NOT kidding!

I figured with that title...

Wow.

Anyway, ummm...yeah. First of all, atheists don't necessarily "believe" in evolution, they're actually two different positions; secondly, the "goop" thing is just...oh, never mind, cupcake. Say hi to Jesus for me.
