is there any solid proof that either evolution or creationism is true?

Answer 1

Evolution has lots of solid *evidence*, but not proof as such, since anyone can claim that they were tampered with, even if it makes no sense whatsoever (some creationist even go as far as claiming that fossils were created with the right amount of carbon 14 in them so they were created old 6000 years ago).

Creationists have nothing, absolutely nothing, but a fairy tale book that self contradict itself on numerous occasion.

Answer 2

No. There is proof to support both ideas, but there is VERY little evidence to support the theory of evolution and creationism. This is where science and religion meet. What all of you people need to do is quit worrying about how we got here and start getting a life. I personally believe that creationism is true. I have some evidence for it. Creationism and even evolution are no more than a matter of opinion, but I will give evidence for creationism because I know some of the idiots out there will want me to provide my proof.
The modern evolution theory says that one species can evolve from another through 1. Mutations, 2. Natural Selection, and 3. Adaptation. There are also theories that says that life evolved from around volcanoes. Amino Acids would have formed protein and made DNA which evolved. Another is that an Asteroid brung life to Earth. Well, we apparently evolved from monkeys, right? Which evolved from amoebas which evolved from bacteria. Well, what did the bacteria evolve from? There is no organism that we have found that is smaller than bacteria and could evolve into bacteria. In order for bacteria to evolve, it would have to have evolved from abiotic factors (rocks, dirt, etc.). A living organism cannot be created with dirt or rocks WITHOUT there being some sort of Intelligent design behind it. What I'm saying is, in order for life to have evolved, it would have to have been created by God. And also, if life had evolved from around volcanoes and created DNA, then we would have found Amino Acids deposits everywhere around the volcanoes. The scientists have been looking for over 30 years in every place immaginable and they still haven't found any of these deposits. And w/ the asteroid, the bacteria would have burned up in the atmosphere (most bacteria die at 210 degrees Farienheit). Even if they were inside the asteroid, Iron is a conductor of heat and it will kill bacteria. Plus, there are only a FEW "Complex Bacteria" that can live in Spacial (Space) conditions.
One more added thing. Science deals only with things that can be experienced directly or indirectly through the senses. By definition, science has nothing to say about the supernatural. This is not to say that science necessarily denies the existence of immaterial or supernatural relationships, but only that whether or not they exist, they are not the business of science. Otherwise, Religion should not have anything to do w/ science and vice versa. Also, I am sick and tired of people contradicting the Christians. Why do you not contradict Muslims, or Voodoists? Muslims are out to kill the Christians, which I remind you is against the law, and voodooists "supposidly" hurt people w/ dolls and pins. Better yet, why just not contradict anybody? We all have our rights to a free religion here in the U.S. this is unconstitutional. There is evidence for evolution also, but there are many complications w/ the different theories and so many flaws. It's just like the string theory. We know there may possibly be these superstrings. We have an idea on what they might look like, but it may just be a whole different thing. There is evidence to support it, but not enough.

Answer 3

evolution in the "Darwinian" sense (molecules to man) has actually been disproven although most Darwinists are in denial about it. TOTAL FACT- the lowest level of fossils found is called the Cambrian level. At that level basic bacteria (the smallest living units basically) have been found along with most of the main classes of the animal kingdom and all phyla and kingdoms and subkingdoms as well. What that means is that there is NO way simple units of life formed into more complex ones since the fossil record there shows all these life forms existing at the SAME time. AND it points to special creation because since evolution did not take place how did those life forms come about?

Another TOTAL FACT- no matter what idea or so called "scientific" explanation people use to justify how living things could change from one kind into a another different kind- THERE IS NO KNOW WAY IT HAPPENS. If there was a way you would see it being filmed in action or shown experiments that bring about that result. Darwin was right about natural selection taking place but that process DOES NOT bring about the evolution to higher more complex structures turing into different kinds. The overall scientific community KNOWS THIS and has REJECTED that as a vehicle for Darwinian Evolution. Next there was 'NEO-Darwinism" which really the view that "mutations" can cause Darwinian Evolution but this has become a dead end because IT HAS NEVER RESULTED in Darwinian Evolution either. Then there is the idea that "puntuated equilibrium" took place which states that the evoultionary process took place at such a rapid rate that there is no trace of it in the fossil record- in other words it happened even though there is no proof of it (and that is supposed to be science?).

I would say that the understanding that we have about DNA shows creation because there is fantastic amounts of microscopic amounts of information found in it (DNA) and you can only get information from an intelligent mind!!! So we are to believe that a super complex code language that is in DNA came into existance by natural causes when man with all his knowledge and help from supercomputers cannot fully understand DNA yet to fully decipher it and cannot duplicate storing that micro level of information in those quantities. It is a resonable conclusion that a higher power and intelligence put life here on the planet and desigened it with advanced features yet to be fully understood by man- in other words- God has left His signs of creation which points to Himself and has had it recorded in the unique revelation that is the Bible to boot.

Answer 4

First. Scientists do not prove things. When you are convicted in a court of law for some crime the " proof " must be beyond a reasonable doubt. Scientists just are convinced by the preponderance of evidence.
Second. Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is an observed fact.
Third. Evolution by natural selection has observed instances, though probable not to the degree satisfying you. Think of polyploidy in plants and insects. Go here for that preponderance of evidence I am speaking of.

Answer 5

Evolution is a fact of life, with mountains of evidence supporting it. For example, bacteria can gain resistance from antibiotics, and can develop ways to metabolize substances they've never encountered before, like nylon. Another example, over a longer period of time, is transitional fossils. The transitional species between four-legged animals and whales are well-documented. Other fossils exist showing individuals who were between apes and humans, or between dinosaurs and birds. All this is evidence supporting evolution, the changes that occur in living things over time under varying conditions.

Creationism, on the other hand, has to make up evidence to fit a book that some Bronze-Age herdsmen wrote thousands of years ago.

Answer 6

If you mean evolution = no God involved and creation = God involved then there is no solid proof for either. How do you prove absolutely that God exists -- or that God doesn't exist?
Believe it or not there are people, including serious scientists, who think God & evolution can co-exist -- that they are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

Answer 7

Yes and no.
Yes for evolution, no for creation.

For evolution there are fossil records, geological dating methods, including, but not restricted to, carbon dating. There are DNA comparisons between vastly different animals, showing we had a common ancestor, there is the otherwise unexplainable occurrence of clearly related animals living on different continents (such as felines and monkeys). There is the Galapagos Islands, with its famous expiriments and documentation by Charles Darwin etc etc.

For Creation there is the faith that everything is as is should be, without scientific foundation.

Answer 8

Tangible evidence exists for evolution in the form of fossils found of evolving organisms such as those found for homo erctus, cromagnon man neanderthal etc. Logically evidence of creationism exists.. the starting material for all organisms had to come from somewhere it could not just spontaneously occur. Yes evolution occur ed but who created the first organism which were able to evolve to the more advanced organisms we have today?...... God

Answer 9

i've got examine the creationist arguments against evolution. they don't carry water. I examine a pair of creationist books and observed how the authors might dishonestly slip one bogus assumption into each calculation to make it come out opposite from what it could have. most of the rest is predicated on undesirable technological know-how and the wish that the objective audience is basically too scientifically illiterate to work out the gaping flaws. and that i'm incredibly confident you're mendacity. Evolution is taught on the highschool point. i've got on no account heard of a school that isn't permit you into extreme college till you have mastered evolution. EDIT: look, i comprehend some extreme college biology instructors. they'd roll their eyes yet they have on no account failed a baby purely for believing creationism. Your tale of not being allowed into extreme college with out passing biology is clever given which you thoroughly failed the path, not purely one area. And that is nonetheless genuine that evolution gets no extra suitable than a passing point out in decrease point technological know-how training. Biology as that is taught below the highschool point is approximately staring at nature, maybe doing slightly physique shape. i don't think which you ever went to an subject-loose college that made you grasp evolution earlier you may bypass to extreme college. That declare is basically not credible. Your remark approximately "satanic atheism" is yet another extensive flag telling me which you're mendacity. it incredibly is a word it incredibly is basically heard in church homes. you're basically spouting what some preacher has informed you. you have not any adventure with atheism in any respect. you would be unable to check plenty approximately creationism with the aid of interpreting the Bible. it incredibly is a narrative that takes up below 2 pages. look, i used to be a creationist. My seventh grade technological know-how instructor examine the 1st financial ruin of Genesis in college and stated it incredibly is all we mandatory to comprehend approximately evolution (this replaced right into some a protracted time in the past). as quickly as i began interpreting technological know-how in extra element i found out that creationism replaced into not something extra suitable than the way the ancients defined their life to themselves. (i replaced into nonetheless a believer at that component, with the aid of the way.) As for you, inspite of the shown fact that, i'm incredibly confident that your purely exposure to evolution has been listening to Hovind or Ham's lies approximately what the thought says.

Answer 10

Both are technically theories so the short answer to your question is: "No." However, the actual "chance" that evolution could have happened and everything ending up being formed as it is today given that there are no transitional forms or missing links and that almost 100% of mutations are harmful, it does seem truly more likely that God (or, for the non-Christian a "higher power") made all things we see today.
