Why do some christians try to say there is no credible evidence to support evolution..........?

Question

.........despite the mountains of evidence available for all to see at http://www.talkorigins.org , among other locations, and then turn around and say people being martyred is evidence for the existence of their god?

Answer 1

Those Christians believe that lying for their religion is not immoral.

Answer 2

I've added the link you provided to my favorites. I did give it a cursory glance, but I don't have time right now to read all of it. And I'm feeling pretty lazy.

I don't disbelieve evolution as a whole, so I'm glad you clarified that only SOME Christians say there's no credible evidence for evolution.

What I DON'T believe, though, is that the origin of life is the result of random genetic mutations.

I do NOT believe that all life has a common ancestor. I'll have to look over the site in full to see if it proves otherwise, but so far I've not found any evidence that it does.

I do NOT believe that the Earth came about because of a giant cosmic accident. Like it or not, it's a mathematical impossibility. Out of the many combinations of elements our atmosphere could contain, the chances are something like 10 billion to the tenth power to ONE that it was random. The odds are against us even existing!

Furthermore, unless string theory actually becomes a viable scientific theory rather than just posturing on the part of some scientists, and all those billions of universes don't have the right combinations of elements to support life, it still remains a mathematical impossibility that the Earth was random.

Let me explain what I mean. Just supposing there are ten billion to the tenth power other universes, and only ONE supports life (ours), that would be pretty good evidence that our own universe came about randomly. But is there any way that within the next five hundred years we could POSSIBLY find that many other universes, and explore them sufficiently to prove that there was no life? Proponents of string theory are hanging on by faith alone. There is no evidence to support it, and there won't be (if ever) until we're decomposed enough to not even be food for the worms. I think saying "Someday science will prove it" is equal to Pascal's wager, only with the opposite end result. (Proving there is no God sometime in the future, rather than discovering there IS a God after we die.) Like it or not, scientists have their own brand of Pascal's wager.

But I'll look over your site, simply because I'm interested.

Answer 3

There is none my friend. Absolutely none. It really doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure all this out. Take time to study the origin of this spurious system of falsehood. It is filled with pockets of holes unprecedented in history. The debate within the science community should send a strong message to the world regarding the fragility of evolutionary theories.

Read the book by Stroebel and by Fred Heeren (Show ME GOD). These are excellent resources that clearly and intelligently address the debate between Evolution and Creationism. My faith is in the living God. Hebrews 11:3. Colossians 1:16,17. Have faith dear friend in God.

Answer 4

WOW -- More Christian scientist--- Once again --Its a single cell life form -- Them Y rnt all not Monday keys---Wow -- Funny how atheist study the WRIITTEN word ---Yet with no observation-- CHRISTICS are fully schooled in evolution---- Did you graduate school By studying math to pass English --- Cause christics put English on ever thing they add up //?? GGEEEZZ GOD CCoulda don da evolution to createses an stuff--- adum to current knows -- We always did knew that's-----How can you Christians be new borns and be educated at the same TIME???

Answer 5

You're making 2 points. On the first one, I totally agree with you. I am a Christian and I don't understand it either. There is much proof of evolution. But on your second point about Christians being martyred as proof of God. I made that statement once not as proof that there is a God to the world but as a proof of the extent by which we Christians believe we have proved to ourselves that God is real.

Answer 6

I see a lot of people calling them liars, but I'm willing to believe that they've never actually studied evolution. I think it's more laziness than lying.. it's a lot easier to go to one of those 'creationist' websites and grab an argument from there than it is to actually study it out for one's self. I believe that's part of our western culture anyway, especially with the advent of the internet.. run a quick search, grab some information that will support your point of view (which you get on sundays from the preacher) and then regurgitate it back here.

Answer 7

First off, even the scientist who believe in evolution are still not adept with saying it is 100% certain, that is why it is still called a theory. Secondly not all Christians believe that evolution is not possible, there are those like myself who don't question the veracity of that being possible. There are scientist that study evolution who are Christian, Jewish, etc...
Third the belief that people are martyred is proof that there is a God is not that, it is proof that the love of those who are followers of God were willing to give up themselves fully for their belief and I have yet to here of someone being martyred for their belief in science and nothing else.
That is the difference, between speculative reasoning and truth, before trying to generalize or think you know it all, find out for yourself what the truth is then write.
May God keep you safe always and surrounded by love.

Answer 8

Just try to think of it who made those things that evolved, huh? And you instantly believe those evidences? Have you ever thought that those evidences might be fake? Im not saying that it's really fake but they just told us that things came from this and that and we found evidence from this and that...you even haven't tried to discover it yourself, ryt? Just an opinion.

Answer 9

"Why do some christians[sic] try to say there is no credible evidence to support evolution?"

For the sames reasons many Mormons, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, animists, etc. do: poor science education, poor understanding of the dependencies between "facts" and "theory", and an unfounded belief that realism is the enemy of faith.

Answer 10

There is no true evidence to show man came from Apes and that is a cornerstone in why evolution is rejected.

Lay people are trying to use what limited science there is in the theory to perpitrate their own myths that can't be proven.

If everything came from an Amoeba, why aren't Amobeas making anything new still!

That is a VALID point.

You can't show us ANY video footage and follow it up with bilogical disections showing us how a BEAR becomes a WHALE.

Answer 11

Well said.
But I suppose that when compared to a book of bronze-age fairy tales that give them whatever answer they're looking for (no matter how incorrect, as long as it's a simple answer) that reams of peer-reviewed scientific research just doesn't measure up.
And that is the saddest commentary I can find in this day and age...
