can you believe in god and still believe darwin ?

Answer 1

yes you can, but you do realize that even Darwin, did not believe Darwin.

Answer 2

Darwin believed in God.

Answer 3

If you truly believe in God, and you see how God works in our lives today, then Darwin seems more and more unbelievable. I like knowing my God in working and changing me and my world for me today - not just a theory. All I know is what has happen to me, the changes in my life. The more I know God the less I believe Darwin. You can't hang on to both ideas, I just know I have both hands reached out to God who is alive and well.

Answer 4

Some people like to believe that God started evolution. It is a mix of the religious and scientific. Most, I think, of those that have read the Bible, and prefer to believe in Creation, believe in the word as it is written. I am a Catholic, faith has it's place in my life, but I am not blind to science.

Even though I have read a little about Anthropology and have done some Bible study, there are questions in my mind which are not answered completely by EITHER belief.

I think this is a fair assessment.

Answer 5

Of course you can, silly. I believe that God created the earth, the first animals, and humans. These all lived in a perfect, utopian Garden and when they got kicked out and migrated to wherever, and after the Great Flood, the animals evolved to adapt to their new homes.

Evolution continues today: look at viruses, bacteria, and animals adapting to changed in environment. There can be no doubt that evolution happens, but there is cause to doubt that evolution is tha cause of all life.

Someone quoted Darwin himself earlier, saying that to believe that natural selection created everyting is absurd. I say we listen to the man.

Answer 6

Of course you can. Evolution is simply a biological process, like photosynthesis. It has nothing whatsoever to do with belief in God or disbelief in God. There are biologists who are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, and atheist. They all see the scientific evidence exactly the same way, because that is the nature of science. Science by definition is the study of the natural world in natural terms. Therefore one's beliefs, or lack of beliefs, in the supernatural has no bearing at all on scientific knowledge. On the other hand, if clearly demonstrated, well supported scientific facts contradict your personal biblical interpretations, maybe its time to consider the possibility that your interpretations are not infallible, and that your understanding of some Scripture may just be WRONG.

Answer 7

"At first Darwin was attacked as an infidel atheist declaring the Bible a lie, but he replied that it increased God's grandeur to believe that the universe had been created with evolution built in."

Darwin was a believer!!!

Answer 8

Sure you can ! You can believe in God and believe that darwin was an absolute idiot who was full of his own selfish ways.

Answer 9

I believe in God and I also believe the following statement that Darwin made in his book.

"To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of Spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree. "

Answer 10

Darwin did!

Answer 11

In as much as you can believe in God and not the Bible, or God and not organised religion, or have your own beliefs about God entirely which don't necessarily fit in with anyone elses idea of God.
