Evolution disproves the bible?

Question

The Book of Genesis tells us that everything was created by God—nothing "evolved." Every creature was given the ability to reproduce after its own kind as is stated ten times in Genesis. Dogs do not produce cats. Neither do cats and dogs have a common ancestry. Dogs began as dogs and are still dogs. They vary in species from Chihuahuas to Saint Bernards, but you will not find a "dat" or a "cog" (part cat/dog) throughout God’s creation. Frogs don’t reproduce oysters, cows don’t have lambs, and pregnant pigs don’t give birth to rabbits. God made monkeys as monkeys, and man as man.

Each creature brings forth after its own kind. That’s no theory; that’s a fact. Why then should we believe that man comes from another species? If evolution is true, then it is proof that the Bible is false. However, the whole of creation stands in contradiction to the theory of evolution.

Dr. Kent Hovind of Florida has a standing offer of $250,000 to "anyone who can give any empirical evidence (scientific proof) for evolution." Evolution— true science fiction. His website is www.drdino.com.

Answer 1

you've been pwned. lol

Answer 2

Kent Hovind is not a doctor first off. His diploma is from Patriot University, a well known diploma mill and non-accredited university. He is not a scientist and his use of the title "Dr." sullies the name and offends any rational mind that respects science. He spends his life misdirecting people like you away from real, testable theories and scientific methods. He is scum and doesn't deserve the very air he breathes.

Second, you are a living transitional species. We all are. Each generation of our species produces new twists in the human genome. Eventually we will reach a point where the species homo sapiens no longer defines our species but its ancestor. Just like we differ greatly from homo erectus, our descendants in the distant future will differ greatly from us. How do I know? Science has clearly proven this. Evolution is a fact.

This is one of the MAJOR pet peeves of mine. People using faith in place of reason and trying to call it equal evidence in the debate make me angry on so many levels because you have no concept what a rational argument truly is.

Update: One more note on Hovind, he was convicted last year of tax evasion. So not only is he an idiot, he is also a felon.

Answer 3

You mean the Dr. Dino that is currently in federal prison for tax evasion and fraud?

Have you actually read his requirements for 'proof'? They are a joke. You need to prove the big bang, which has nothing to do with evolution, the formation of the sun and the Earth, which has nothing to do with evolution, and the start of life, which has nothing to do with evolution.

Also I believe he requires direct proof. Like a video of this happening. The only way to do this is invent a time machine and go back and observe it.

To cap it all he then requires proof that God did not do it. Since he claims that god is omnipotent and undetectable, how in the blue blazes can you ever prove that an omnipotent and undetectable being did not have an influence? It is like having to provide all the numbers up to infinity to prove the concept of infinity! It is impossible!



Evolution is an established fact:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylonase

hundreds of thousands of scientists accept it. They use the theory of evolution it to make predictions and advancements.

You are deluding yourself. Get over it.

Answer 4

Kent Hovind has three degrees in Christian education from unaccredited institutions, and no background whatsoever in science. I think I will get my facts from scientists, thanks.

No you won't find a cog, but you can find a liger. A liger is the offspring of a lion and a tiger, two different species. We know they are different species because the offspring is an infertile hybrid. These two great cats came from a common ancestor.

Likewise, the great cats and the domestic cat came from a common ancestor. If you go back even farther, the cats are related to the civet. Go back farther and find a common meat-eating ancestor, a common mammal ancestor, and so on.

Answer 5

Evolution doesn't say anywhere that cats come from dogs, or that humans come from apes.

You have only been listening to the anti-evolutionist detractors, none of which know the first thing about evolutionary theory, genetics, biology, or the first thing about the scientific method.

'Things are the way they are now - so they must've been created like that' is the mantra of the creationist and 'intelligent design' advocate. There is extensive evidence that all life on this planet has evolved and adapted to changing environments.

Man didn't come from another species, but humans and apes most likely had a common ancestor - we share 98% of our genetic makeup with chimpanzees. You won't ever find a 'missing link' because there never was one - only thousands upon thousands of generations of tiny changes, until you have modern man, modern apes, and every other kind of modern animal.

Educate yourself a little bit - there may have been a creator at the beginning of everything that started life, but there is no evidence that we were created the way we are now.

Answer 6

1. I'm not here to prove your bible wrong. If you believe the earth was created in 6 days, that it's flat and is held up by four pillars, that the sun revolves around the earth and was stopped for a day, that's your business.

2. Kent Hovind is a fraud, that's been proven. If you believe he's a truthful person, you have my sympathies.

3. Dikika baby is a transitional form found last year.. bones fused together at death.. it's a perfect example of what our ancestors looked like.. if you can't accept it, again, that's your business.. just don't expect me to take anything you say seriously when it comes to science.

Answer 7

Kent Hovind is a professional liar, as the United States affirmed when it convicted him last year.

Evolution is true. Your attempt to disprove it* is laughingly ignorant.

* "Dogs do not produce cats. Neither do cats and dogs have a common ancestry. Dogs began as dogs and are still dogs. They vary in species from Chihuahuas to Saint Bernards, but you will not find a "dat" or a "cog""

You will probably never realize what a fool you made of yourself when you posted that nonsense.

Answer 8

I think you misunderstand what evolution is. It's not that I have a baby who is all of a sudden another species. It is gradual changes over LONG periods of time. Think about how the humans who came before us were shorter than we are today, even humans from just a couple hundred years ago. Through natural selection, people tended to choose taller mates, for whatever reason. Over time, offspring grew up to be taller, little by little. Then they chose taller mates, and their offspring was taller, etc.

Answer 9

Why do people think a silly-retarded book could have all the answers.

Although evolution might be totally wrong, but that doesn't make Xians and the Bible right. Read more books than just one book written 1700 years ago.

Answer 10

evolution does disprove the bible but so does everything the bible is just mythology really i don't understand not meaning offense why people belive the bible but not ancient mythology cos its the same: we don't know if is true or not and its about magic and gods like the bible cos miracles are magic
i don't believe either of them its just a contridiction that people belive in the bible but not in other old sources of information
i say if anyone can give me evidence that the bible is all true every word then go ahead, there is scientific proof of evolution but people don't want to believe it because of their beliefs if you are saying that evolution is science fiction then anyone can say that the bible is fiction nobody knows okay, so why not let people believe what they want and not try to condemn and disaprove others beliefs about evolution or as the case may be non-evolution

Answer 11

You may not believe this, but it

IS

true. Evolution is just as much a theory as the theory of the Bible. It can not really be proven either, with regard to the kind of proof

NON-

believers want.
