Does anyone have actual proof for creationism?

Question

I believe in God but i also believe that evolution is fact and not some atheistic liberal plot to end religion....is there any actual proof (besides the Bible which is a book written centuries ago by people explaining God and not science besides i could site a book on evolution as proof because its a book too)....i have heard people say that creation is proved since we all have the same genes as Adam and Eve but i find that odd since one has the physical remains of there parable characters.... and doesn't it seem more likely that God could create the world through evolution..which is far more complex and inventive than the Genesis parable...please nothing like "because God said so" or "my religion says so"

Answer 1

The problem with the word 'proof' is that it generally implies that you have evidence so strong that no counter-argument is likely to prevail against it. And since the discussion is still going on, it's fair to say that nobody has indisputable proof of this nature. There is, however, certain lines of evidence that can be used to support creationism instead of evolution.

Take, for example, the 'most recent common ancestor'. Using statistical analysis and factoring in rates of migration, difficulties of geography, and the like we can estimate how recently a person might have lived who was literally an ancestor for every human being who is currently alive. An 'Adam' (or 'Eve') if you will. Some of the most thorough analyses suggest that this might have occurred only 3000 years ago (link 1). Which is rather obviously much closer to a creationist time-scale than an evolutionary one.

Many creationists also suggest that the fossil record supports their views much more strongly than those of evolutionists. For example, there is comparatively little evidence of gradual changes to be found. Instead, whole new things seem to appear all at once. Even evolutionists are forced to suggest that their evidence suggests that thousands of species appeared in the 'Cambrian explosion' in just 5 million years. Which may sound like a long time but is really, REALLY fast in evolutionary theory (link 2). There are likewise many examples of fossils that seem to be in the wrong spots, creatures whose 'geological stratum' suggests they fossilized over millions of years, and even the occasional apparent human footprint that is fossilized right next to a dinosaur.

Aside from all this there are lots of holes to poke in evolutionary theory. But I consider these to be refutations rather than evidence, so I'll just mention that they exist and let you search them out if you're interested.

Personally, I tend to believe in evolution too - it just explains too many other things well. But there IS evidence that evolution has trouble explaining. Most biologists are honest and have no agenda and freely admit this. It just means there's more work to do!

Peace.

Answer 2

As far as I know there is no proof for creationism or else the debate would have ended long ago.

There is evidence for both evolution and creationism.

There are also those who said life was created by God and then God created evolution, but that evolution was just neglected when the bible was written.

I think religions are struggling right now because unlike religion, science evolves. If only we could get an updated bible (not written by analysts of the original bible but by someone who actually knows).

People have deducted so much from the book of Genesis which is remarkably short. The part where the earth is created happens in only a few pages! This is the most important, complicated and diffcult event to explain of all time and the book of Genesis attempts to explain it in a few pages. It is very difficult to prove anything with so little to work with and so they say you must have faith.

So, no, nobody has actual proof for creationism.

Answer 3

It's impossible to have a proof for creationism according to
St Thomas Aquinas because, in the mind, abstractions are from the here and now and therefore the newness of the world cannot be demonstrated from the world. Therefore,
Aquinas was convinced that creation ex nihilo is completely an article of faith even though it is suggested by nature but
even less so than evolution is suggested by nature in my
opinion. At any rate, the tools of science assist in the
interpretation of scripture, as in genesis requiring a bundle
of at least 30 humans or so to provide for an "adam and eve"
as well as a local instead of a global flood.

Answer 4

Well, I guess God has the proof, but He isn't sharing it other than in what He inspired humans to write down in the Bible, Koran, etc., etc. If God created the Universe and everything in it, then doing evolution would be no big deal to Him.

I'm inclined to believe in both - God created the Universe, the laws of nature, and the life force, and then left everything to "evolve" according to the rules He laid down. From time to time, He has "interfered" with the natural progression of things to "create" certain things and/or to destroy certain things.

As a science-oriented and science-educated person, I can't accept the so-called Biblical timeline that some so-called scholars have come up with - it's too short, and doesn't fit with known, measurable data. But I have no difficulty reconciling the concept of evolution with some of the aspects of Creationism.

Answer 5

Creationism absolutely exists, the proof is in every individual who espouses the idea.... Divine creation is another story. It cannot be proven that God created the universe as it cannot be proven that the universe began at all. We have evidence of the beginning of the universe but no proof. As far as literal creationism is concerned, it is a minority view even among Christians.

Ask Kirk Cameron!

Answer 7

Yeah, Darwin had PROOF. He had iguanas.

Please....there is no proof of anything.

Answer 8

Visit www.creationmuseum.org and www.answersingenesis.org
There is a lot of evidence if you go looking for it!

Answer 9

Idk know that one, but how do we know there is a god? I mean i believe in Jesus and such but how could God ( he or she) just be there?

Answer 10

The FACT that YOU EXIST is actual Proof.
