Are Christians Stupid For Not Believing This?

Question

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_human_evolution

This is a diagram of how a living organism came from being a fish, to an ape, and finally a human.

If not believing these thing makes me stupid, it is not that bad being stupid.

"I was" once a fish and then a ape, and after that human. Yeah right.
That that fish came from the water to survive on the land. And after some process became other kind of animals and then ape and finally a human. Yeah right.
"Evolution happens when animals feel the need to adapt. Why would the fish leave the water if it was not too hot nor the cold? Wouldn't it be easier to adapt to adapt to the hot or colder water instead?
Brain grows? However, scientists have yet to show an living REAL example. These make me stupid as many atheists say? Well it may be better to be stupid.

Answer 1

The person who believes that we were fish is stupid, coz we are different than animals, we are honored we have brains to think with. Now tell me if the fish became into an ape then a human, then why are there still many fish and apes?
and why haven't humans evoluted to another kind?

Answer 2

No, but it IS extremely stupid when people misrepresent science so that they can falsely attack it.

Evolution does NOT say that you were once a fish and then an ape and then a human. It proposes that animals share common ancestors. The ancestor of an ape and human lived quite some time ago, and the common ancestor of apes, humans, and fish lived even further back.

And who the hell says evolution happens when animals "feel the need to adapt"? That's not how evolution works at all. It's a population that evolves, from changes in the gene pool due to genetic mutations, natural selection, and genetic drift, NOT personal desire on the organism's part! If anything, an individual fish that could grow legs by sheer will would be a good argument AGAINST evolution.

Try reading about science from actual scientists, instead of playing armchair theologian:

Answer 3

Hey, at least you admitted it. It's funny how you would only take a small piece of the evolution argument (probably from a creationist site) and post it here to somehow prove a point.

Science isn't trying to rule out the existence of God, neither is it trying to rule it in. Have you considered that maybe science "might" be trying to find out how your God created the universe?

And since there is no proof yet that God exists, that makes the whole concept of a God or Gods a theory also. At least science is looking for evidence whereas the creationists seem to be stuck with the same argument.

Answer 4

Basing your opinion of a theory on a brief summary of a theory, based on a book with hundreds of pages shows me how little you understand.

Diseases and Bacteria mutate all the time, this mutation is a main part of Evolution, we evolve because of the need to survive, whatever genes lead to higher survival rates will stay, the others will mutate into improved genes, and so on........

And Jokerscard "If man came from ape, why are there still apes? " you know what you are the first to ever ask this question, ever, period.

Its called a common ancestor, which you would have known had you bothered to care about knowing anything at all, or being right.

Answer 5

Maybe the fish left water to seek a more abundant supply of food. That is the main reason a lot of animals migrate from one envrironment to another. Once they are in a new environment, different mutations become favorable for survival, so the creatures with positive mutations create more offspring. It's just natural selection. The main motives behind a lot of actions are that they are just trying to survive or reproduce. You weren't convinced by the Wikipedia article. I see it with different eyes and it makes sense to me. I never called you stupid for having a different point of view. I don't care what you believe. Just don't try to propose supernatural claims in public school science curriculums and I'm happy.

Answer 6

The current science does not support the position of Darwinian Macroevolution. Especially as it relates to the decent of Man.

Why do Christians object to this? It is not because we are anti-science. Far from it. The main reason is that it is used as a proof-text to say that there is no God. If evolutionists stop saything that tomorrow, all opposition to it would cease and evaporate.

Answer 7

So instead, some higher power - whom nobody has neither seen nor heard from in 2000+ years - placed us here?

By the way, this being also hears all your thoughts, cares about you and allows things like cancer to exist - only to help us grow. It makes no sense I know - but he works in "mysterious ways"!

My friend, you are not stupid. Just very, very brainwashed.

Answer 8

Were christians stupid for not believing the earth revolved around the sun, well not until there was a lot of evidence supporting it anyone who didn't believe it after that, yes. There is a lot of evidence supporting evolution.

Answer 9

Yep, that makes you stupid alright.
I'd ask if you want me to draw you a diagram of how evolution actually works, but it seems you can't understand that either.
Oh, and I am Christian, and I believe it.

Answer 10

Ok, so show a better model. You know, rather than pointing out flaws in an existing one that has lots of supporting evidence.

When you have a better explanation, with better empirical data to support it, let us know. Until then, quitchabitchin!
