Do you believe in Evolution?

Question

Are you against the Theories of Evolution (Darwin and others)? If so, scientifically speaking, what are you basing that on?

If you do believe in Evolution, do you think creationism should be banned from schools?

Given the social and scientific advances of the last 2 centuries (evolution of science, women emancipation, UN's Charter of Human Rights), should the Church remove the Genesis Book from the Bible (Creation + Adam&Eve)

Answer 1

I "believe in" evolution to the same extent that I "believe in" gravity, or in air being breathable by people. It just IS. Q.E.D.

"Creationism" is PSEUDO-science that's promoted by VERY ignorant people. It should never be allowed to corrupt or dilute REAL science, and thus dumb-down America's students. And evolution has far more proof of being real than most other sciences do. In rock strata, worldwide!

Any church that would seek to remove ANY book from the Bible would be acting idiotically. As for the Garden of Eden, sensible and intelligent people recognize that story for what it is -- merely an ANALOGY to explain the origin of things to people that were still ignorant and unscientific, thousands of years ago.

The RRR Cult clearly thinks there's something worthwhile in CONTINUING to be ignorant.

Answer 2

No I don't. I would not say I am against it because I haven't researched the matter in depth, I have just read a few science books and Intelligent Design books, and personally Intelligent Design (i.e. a Supreme Being who initiated the universe) seems the only logical answer... But as for the creation of our world and the beginning of human life, I don't know if it was Evolution or that Supreme Being. But for now I would rather trust the Genesis account than to reject it, and it end up being truth.

Hmmm you didn't ask this, but I don't think Evolution should be banned, nor do I think Intelligent Design or Creationism should be taught. My only wish is that any class which conflicts with religious belief should be optional.

No I don't think the Genesis account should be taken out of the Bible.

Answer 3

Yes, i believe in evolution.
I don't know about creationism in school, i dont consider it science, and i guess there is no gaining from learnng it from schools

It is unthinkable to remove the Genesis from the Bible, other than the Gospels, it is the most important book! It shows about the original sin and the fall of men! Those are not only true, also are the basis for everything that came after! The Genisis is not a book about science, it is not talking of literal facts, but what is written there, and in the whole Bible is The Truth

Answer 4

I know evolution to be true.

I wouldn't go so far as banning creationism but as a belief it should be excluded from science classes and confined to lessons regarding religious education and different beliefs.

There's no need to edit the bible... the religionists would simply add the book of genesis back in (although it's funny how the huge numbers of gospels removed by Emperor Constantine are never put back...).

The bible is an important book, there's no denying it. It just happens not to be a factual book but that's no reason for editing chunks of it out. I wonder if many creationists would treat Darwin's and Dawkins' books with equal respect...?

Answer 5

I'm a christian, I believe in evolution. I don't think creationism should be banned from schools, religion is a very important part of our culture, but I think science should be taught in science classes and religion is religious studies classes.
The church should not remove the creation story from the Bible because it still talks a lot about the conditions of the human race.

Answer 6

I "believe" in the theory of evolution the same way you "believe" in gravity. Belief, in this type of forum, implies belief without proof.

The theory of evolution should be taught in science class in schools. ALL schools, though I don't think it should be something legislated for faith-based schools. If parents want ignorant children, that's their look-out.

Intelligent Design/Creationism should also be taught in school, in a philosophy or religion class. I think it's important for kids to know what the general thinking in their culture is, whether those of us who can tell the difference between scientific theory and stories like it or not. People who believe Intelligent Design/Creationism is the way the world began are not a fringe group of nutballs. They are a very large part of our culture. It only behooves us to properly educate our children so they can make their own decisions.

Of course, we don't teach out kids how to actually think critically, just how to memorize and spit back out; so I'm thinking there are far more important scholastic issues to address.

Experts in numerology use the numbers to determine the best time for major moves and activities in life. Numerology is used to decide when to invest, when to marry, when to travel, when to change jobs, or relocate. Numerology is an occult science and for me it's fascinating. It is perhaps the easiest of the occult arts to understand and use. All you need is the birth date and the complete name of an individual to unlock all of the secrets that the numbers hold.

Answer 8

Neither Evolution nor Creationism is a science. Neither pass the scientific method (neither can be reproduced). We cannot watch God create man again nor do we have any evidence of one creature being made by a pile of atoms. Both cannot be reproduced and neither one can absolutely prove it's point. It takes more faith to believe you are an accident than to believe that an intelligent being created you. I don't know what were made of but when we die we turn into dust like the Genesis account claims.

Answer 9

I believe in evolution, of course, but I don't think that creationism should be banned from schools. I just think that basic honesty dictates that children be taught about creationism in a social studies class, and that it be pointed out that the organized creationist movement is about religious propaganda aimed against modern science.

I have no problem with teaching children about creationism as long as we're honest about it. I think it'd be good for children to hear the honest truth about the struggle between religion and the modern world.

Answer 10

Evolution is still a theory because it is NOT provable.

Creation IS science, and scientifically sound.

Evolutionists and Creationists use the same science. They use the same fossils, and same evidence, they just interpret it differently.

The Evolutionist says, "See? We found a common link in all DNA that proves all people evolved from the same woman."

The Creationist says, "Yeah, we knew that. Her name is Eve."

The Evolutionist says, "This rock is 200,000 years old. We know because of carbon dating."

The Creationist says, "That's funny... the half life of carbon is only about 5740 years... how could you possibly come up with 20,000?"

The Evolutionist says, "See? These birds and fish are related. They have similar features. We just can't find the fossils of the half-bird-half-fish to prove it."

The Creationist says, "You can't find them because they don't exist. God made every creature 'after its own kind' so you can look for the missing link all you want... we know with confidence that you will never find it."

Same evidence. Different theories. Both are looking at evidence and writing hypotheses... they simply interpret the evidence differently. That makes them BOTH science.
