For those who believe in evolution and not Jesus.?

Question

WHy would you think that life just appeared her one day with no creator and then evolution took place? How can you not believe in a creator?

Give me good reasons. Not just because. I would like to hear some good answers. And don't be rude

I need to refrase this. Why do you believe the big bang theory? That everything just appeared one day?

Whoever can be mature and respectful and give a good answer gets 10 pts. Come on people

No one can give me a good enough reason so I will delete my own question in 5 min.

I asked a simple quesion and asked for people to be mature and not rude. Sounds like no one can comprehend anything

I am not going to delete noe because the confirmed......did just what I asked and was mature about it and gave me the best answer. So in 4 hrs when I can choose as best 10 pts goes ti the confirmed.....Good day everyone

Answer 1

I need to stop drinking right after lunch, it gets hard to focus, especially on a Friday.



...but to actually answer your question, it's a scientific thing and not a religious one. Don't pit Jesus against evolution, they're not arch nemeses.

Answer 2

Is anyone else sick of this question being asked ten times a day?

1. Because it didn't "just appear", it evolved. You really should read up on the subject that you wish to debate.

2. Because life forming through a natural process makes much more sense than does an invisible guy in the sky who made everything..

But here is the best part: I was an atheist LONG before I even knew what evolution was. I did not replace one with the other.

edit: ah we are talking of the big bang. I love when people "clarify" their question after many have already answered. Again, same answer applies. Natural processes trump Invisible Creator any day.

Answer 3

Evolution is scientific fact. We can (and have) find fossils that demonstrate that the world has had numerous creatures on it changing over time - from simple single celled ones to complex mammals, and similiar with plants and other organisms. Contrary to what creationist will tell you, there have been meny "transistional" species found. Amonst all the scientific theories, or more appropiately models, evolution perhaps has the strongest evidence for it by an overwhelming landslide. Granted, the mechanisms by which it happened are still being discovered.

As an aside, there are enough problems such as our poorly adapted knees to discount "Intellegent Design".

On the other hand, except for locations of cities and landmarks, much of the old testemant has little, if any, evidence of happening. Examples: Exodus, there is no evidence for the Hebrews ever having lived in Egypt or of leaving in mass, nor is there any Egyptian record of them or of the plagues. The tower of Babel, non existent. The Flood has no proof whatsoever, besides being blatantly impossible (the earth doesn't have enough hydrogen to make the water needed).

I don't doubt that Jesus existed, however, there are no contemporary accounts of his life, and there are no contempory collaborations of any of the easily observable events, i.e. the Temple curtain was not recorded as being destroyed until 70 AD by the Romans, and no contemporary astronomers recorded the Star of Bethleham.

Answer 4

Although I don't believe that you can get something from nothing, who's to say that there was nothing when this earth formed? Who's to say that our solar system and the universe around it are new creations? What makes us so self-centric that we believe that we were created when the rest of the universe was. Could it be that we really are a young solar system, and that there was some form of life in some form elsewhere long before our planet formed (microbial bacteria, perhaps) that somehow survived the journey through space and crashed into our planet, which just happened to have the right ingredients to create something new from it?

I look at it like this, left long enough a glass of milk will rot and form mold, bacteria, and all manner of nasty green and gray fuzzies. The milk came from the cow, but the cow didn't create the mold. The mold was just a by product of the milk being contained in an area where it could break down and foreign airborne materials could get into it, germinate, and create mold.

How do we know that the vegetation on this planet isn't just a bunch of mold caused by the planet being left alone long enough and the right foreign materials smacking into it from outer space (such as asteroids). How do we know we're not just the by-products of chance. That would perfectly explain why although man creates gods, he can never prove them.

Answer 5

We still don't know how to explain "life". Surely if you believe in evolution then all it takes is to have life appear in its simplest form like a one cell organism. It doesn't even have to be a thinking or self aware entity. The idea of evolution is that once life appears it will mutate and transform into higher life form by means of its programming to survive. What is this programming and where does it originate? That's beyond what we know and we could only speculate. I think the idea is fascinating.

Anyways if you believe in creationism don't you have to question how god came about? How is it possible for a being of omnipotent and omniscient to have always existed? In a ways this also seems as strange as evolution. Too many unknowns for our little minds to comprehend I'm afraid. If we don't quite grasp the concept of infinity then how can we really be able to understand these other concepts.

Answer 6

Can I ask you in all sincerity why do you make the choice between evolution and Jesus? You do know that there are other religions out there and some of them (Catholics, Reform Jews) accept the scientific theory of evolution. I know it's hard to understand, sometimes, how people can not see what you see, but with the experience and wisdom that comes with age, you may well understand it. Anyway, there's no need to worry about evolution. After visiting this category for a few days now, I have come to the conclusion that the human race has already reached it's pinnacle in the process of evolution and we are now experiencing what I call "disevolution" where people are actually getting less intelligent, less empathetic, less sympathetic, more mean, more arrogant, less humble, and much less humorous.

Answer 7

Evolution doesn't explain the origins of life at all. It just explains how it got to the point it did today

Besides where did your creator come from. You can't believe life on earth just happened but you're happy to believe that your god just poofed into existance at some point. Yeah that makes more sense than chemicals combining.

It doesn't bother me that there are gaps in my knowledge, I accept it as either my own ignorance or something that the human race just hasn't figured out yet. I don't know what believers are always in such a hurry to attribute all unknowns to god. It makes you sound no more intelligent that primitives worshipping a thunder god because they didn't know how thunder occurred.

Answer 8

1) Realizing there's no god has nothing to do with accepting basic scientific facts.

2) Please look up abiogenesis. It is not related to evolution, even though you seem to think it is for some reason.

3) There's no evidence for a creator.

4) Since there's no evidence, why are you so determined to believe in something for no reason and then use that to deny basic, observable facts?

Answer 9

I think the science has proven the miracle of "God". How often is a planet like ours created or how many exist ? There are scientific clues that were left behind by your beloved creator to lead scientists to believe in "God" . Just because the bible says seven days doesn't mean that each day was 24 hours.

Answer 10

Actually you don't have to believe in evolution, it is a scientific fact. The theory of evolution trys to present evidence for the mechanisms of evolution.

Evolution does not explain the beginning of life, only its complexity. You can either accept it or deny it. We can witness evolution in both the lab and in the wild, but even without these, we have too many observances to even debate the authenticity of evolution.

Answer 11

You're talking about abiogenesis, not evolution...And there is currently a theory of a simple RNA molecule with the ability to self-replicate...There are a few other theories, all of them bridge the gap between life and non-life...
