Can all Scientists joined together using the latest technologies create a single fly or evolve a single cell?

Question

At least can they hold back the life in someone who is dying. . If not, why do some of them believe in evolving life out of nothing which they cannot produce one now with everything. Truth is that those who are called Scientists did not even witness their own birth or their creation. They too came to this world as babe crying and helpless as everyone. Some of men blindly believe them unknowing Satan is teasing them and forgetting this life is a test. God alone is the truth unto Him we all return to know the truth. http://www.harunyahya.com/

Those saying yes, never answers directly but just finds something else to critizise. Just sit and give a thought for a while on creation. Don't just look only through the blind spot of your eye. God did create our eyes perfectly enough to see the truth.

Answer 1

Despite what fanatical believers in the religion of Evolution - some who call themselves "scientists" - keep repeating over and over, there are *some* scientists who do *not* believe in evolution! Many of them work for the Institute for Creation Research, founded by Henry M. Morris in 1970.

You are *absolutely* right! All the evolutionary "scientists" together using the latest technologies have not yet been able to create a single fly or evolve a single cell! Since they have not been able to do so, it makes some of us wonder why they *still* cling to their *religious* beliefs that life evolved out of *nothing*, yet they cannot produce life, now, with "everything".

Here are a few quotes from the late Dr. Henry M. Morris: "The fact is that evolutionists believe in evolution because they want to. It is their desire at all costs to explain the origin of everything without a Creator. Evolutionism is thus intrinsically an atheistic religion."; "The idea of particles-to-people evolution does not meet the criteria of a scientific theory.", "(T)he theory of evolution was devised on top of the tower of Babel by the Babylonian king, Nimrod, and Satan."

BTW: Although the word is currently used as a benevolent term meaning "sportsman" or "fisherman", the correct translation of the Hebrew word translated as "nimrod" is, "a mighty hunter *against* the Lord"!

Later: BTW: "Survival of the fitest" bacteria or virus so that it is resistant to an antibiotic or anti-viral medicine is *not* the same as *evolution*!

Answer 2

150 years ago, we didn't know about bacteria. No clue. It wasn't understood until Louis Pasteur determined that germs caused disease.

You are asking the same questions that scientists ask. You have, however, asked this in the Religion & Spirituality section, where we are mostly humanities majors, not biologists or physicists. Would you come to R&S to find out what opus number was Mozart's 40th Symphony? I think not. You're asking us to play to our weakness. Quite frankly, you're being unfair.

So let me suggest two things:

1. If you are serious about wanting to know the current evidence-based understanding on the origins of the universe and on evolutionary theory, there are excellent descriptions found at http://www.talkorigins.org .

2. Consider that you are proposing (not so subtly) that anything that is not explained is a place for God to be discovered. This is commonly referred to in ontology as "the god of the gaps" theory. It typically assigns God to any blank space that science has not yet reached useful conclusions. Remember what I said about disease? Before bacteria were discovered, it was assumed God was punishing the ill, or that they were demon possessed, or some other supernatural phenomenon caused sickness. This is the same god of the gaps.

Science never assumes, and should never assume, anything is supernatural. The purpose of science is to discover through measured observation, testing, and repetition what natural causes lead to our natural world. If you impose a statement "God caused it," then this stops the search for knowledge, because God is ultimately unknowable. This is the reason that the "god of the gaps" theory is discounted among learned ontological academicians, and is ignored by science.

Answer 3

See that computer you are typing this stupidity on? Science created it. It didn't exist 100 years ago, but through science we have been able to progress to the point where you can state your opinion to thousands of people all over the world from the comfort of your home, filled with scientific discoveries.

Just because science hasn't created a fly yet, doesn't mean it won't down the road. Believing it never will is silly.

Answer 4

Can they do these things yet? No.

Science is not a "closed book." Scientists have not discovered everything there is to know. You can't take a snapshot of what science has discovered now and assume that, because there are some things that science hasn't figured out by now, those things are not possible in principle.

And, really, even if they *could* create living things by now, or if they discovered it soon, would that really effect your faith? Even as an Atheist, I would certainly hope you'd find your God bigger than any accomplishment of men.

Answer 5

We can hold back a dieing life. "So called Scientist" have save millions with medicine.

A watch maker is born blind and helpless, but come to understand how a watch works. So to do scientist learn about how the natural world works.

Science isn't a faith. It is merely a way of testing and measuring knowledge with reason. How can that threaten a man of faith?

Answer 6

The bible never said God didn't use evolution. I'm just saying is all. Why should science and religion be at odds? I'm pretty sure your God would have created science. I swear, the crazies on this site are still living in the dark ages, making educated Christians everywhere look bad.

Answer 7

Why does everyone believe we must seperate evolution and creationism? They are one and the same. Any and all acts of God are realiazed through the use of nature, thus evolution fits into that criteria, as creatures naturally evolve over time. Those who believe that evolution disproves God are closed minded "conservatives" as they like to call those of us open to both ends of the spectrum, and able to get our brains around the nuances.

Answer 8

If creating life were a national priority, it could be done in a decade. At present, it is a curiosity pursued not as much for the goal as it is for the understanding of what is essential to life.

Answer 9

Fact of the matter:

We have held back the life of the dying, it is called antibiotics. If it weren't for them, people in hospitals will have died from infections long before they succumb to any other disease.

We have unwittingly caused evolution to occur in micro-organisms. Multiple drug resistant bacteria are KILLING people across the world because of our overuse of antibiotics. The very attempt of trying to prevent human death has pushed evolution forward.

...sigh...fundamentalists like you cannot even begin to comprehend how modern science works, so why even begin to argue with us on scientific terms?

You're wasting your time.

Answer 10

Asking someone to "evolve" a living thing is like asking someone to brew beer in 10 minutes. These things take a little more time than you seem to think.
