Evolution vs. creation #5?

Question

Okay then.....don't those who espouse evolution realize that it has always been called, and still is called, the THEORY of evolution?? For those who are brave you might want to go to http://www.creationism.org.cem
You who love the theory of evolution will love this website. Cheers !

Seems that link doesn't work. Check Google for Dr. Carl Baugh and you will find this website.......if you are brave enough

Answer 1

Actually, the address is
http://www.creationism.org/cem/

I'll be sure and check it out.

Answer 2

Have you ever heard the question 'If you call the tail a leg, how many legs does a sheep have?' Many people say 'five', but the correct answer is actually four. Why? Because calling the tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.

This is the same for evolution. Whether we call it the theory of evolution, or the fact of evolution, or the religion of evolution, or whatever, that doesn't change whether or not it works and whether or not it actually happened. And according to an overwhelming majority of the scientific evidence, yes, evolution did in fact happen. Calling it a theory CANNOT CHANGE THAT.

Get the idea?

Answer 3

I believe in evolution but also creationism. You probably think "How could God exist forever ?" Well how could energy exist forever ? I think God is a feasible theory. Evolution is almost proven to a certain degree, but I don't think an advanced organism like a human could evolve from pond sludge.Have you ever thought about ecosystems? Many are so balanced if on thing dies so does every thing else. Once all the alligators in a river were wiped out because the people thought they were bad and it turns out that their feces was consumed buy small creatures,which fish ate ,which larger fish ate which people ate. Is that not a little advanced to have "just happened?".Furthermore most of our laws are based on the Bible so if God does not exist it is still good believe in one or many to keep order. If this is not persuasive, I respect your beliefs.

Answer 4

Scientific theories are not just 'ideas', as the scientifically illiterate seem to regard them. Theories occupy a higher stratum of importance in science than do mere facts... theories EXPLAIN facts. The 'theory of evolution' provides an explanatory framework for the OBSERVED FACT of changes to the genetic makeup of populations of organisms, over time. The mechanisms that has been identified... AND OBSERVED... to account for those changes are 'genetic drift' (statistical variations in allele frequency), and genetic mutations (random), operated on by 'natural selection' (NOT random). In other words, the non-random survival of randomly varying replicators.

So, evolution EXPLAINS facts... it does not INVENT facts... and its 'explanatory power' is unprecedented, so far as theories go. But insofar as science is concerned, evolution is 'fact'.

'Intelligent design' is not a 'theory'... it has no explanatory power, it makes no predictions that can be verified by experiment or observation. It is a 'red herring'... a 'Trojan Horse'... creationism wrapped up in a pretty package, and re-labeled 'science'. The crux of Intelligent Design is to say that at the point where science just starts to get interesting, we throw up our hands and declare "That's too complicated. God must have done it." It is specifically intended to UNDERMINE science, in general, and evolution, in particular. A part of the strategy is to create, among the scientifically naive, the ILLUSION that there is a scientific controversy about evolution when, in fact, there is none. This devious strategy is laid out in writing, in the 'Wedge Strategy':

A claim such as intelligent design is not a scientific theory, but pseudo-science which is any body of knowledge, methodology, or practice that is erroneously regarded as scientific.

Answer 5

Even Darwin said that Evolution would be proven true in the future by the billions of yet undiscovered intermediate species (missing links) that would have to exist for evolution to work.
Update 2007: Theres a guy in China with a dremmel tool etching feathers on a lizard fossil and claiming to find the missing link from dinos to birds.
Evolution "Scientists" have committed so many frauds trying to prove evolution. (Piltdown Man, Nebraska Man ect.)They have no credibility with me and I am not all that religious.
For evolution to be true the missing links would have to be the overwhelming majority of the fossil record but instead they are either extremely rare or non existent.

Answer 6

Evolution is a theory with overwhelming evidence to support it. If you read a book other than the Bible you would know this.

Creationism is a myth, necessary at a time when man had no science and no idea. Now it is not relevant at all. Except to the insecure and the gullible.

Answer 7

Ah, the crowning masterpiece of creationist ignorance. "But it is just a theory".

Here goes:

In common usage, people often use the word theory to signify a conjecture, an opinion, or a speculation. In this usage, a theory is not necessarily based on facts; in other words, it is not required to be consistent with true descriptions of reality. True descriptions of reality are more reflectively understood as statements that would be true independently of what people think about them. In this usage, the word is synonymous with hypothesis.

In science, a theory is a mathematical or logical explanation, or a testable model of the manner of interaction of a set of natural phenomena, capable of predicting future occurrences or observations of the same kind, and capable of being tested through experiment or otherwise falsified through empirical observation

Answer 8

Theories like evolution are backed by large amounts of tests, evidence, and facts. They are difficult to refute, even if not directly observed. Though, in fact, small evolutions have been observed.

Most Christians see no barrier to there being a Creator and evolution.

Answer 9

There are plenty of facts and observations which support evolution.

In support of Biblical Creationism, there's only the Pentateuch (or whatever the Jews call it). Do you trust Moses? You know he exaggerated the Great Flood, and people living to be 900+ years old, and the Tower of Babel. So, the only source for Biblical Creationism is an unreliable source!

Answer 10

i've got on no account come for the time of anti-evolutionists IRL, yet i've got debated online with some, and a few discussions sparkled an urge to break something. not something gets with the aid of. not something. usually those human beings's awareness of evolution is sketchy at terrific, and their version has glaring flaws. yet they gained't pay attention or have faith once you're saying that _this isn't what Darwin said_. because of the fact of direction while a concept starts making experience this is lots tougher to tear it down. i could thankfully solid a chilly eye and pass with the aid of, if it weren't for the actuality that those human beings want to have their say in training and extra their lack of understanding between the hot generations. very surely, and hypocritically, they cease at that. they don't question mutation and stratigraphy while it is composed of studying extra useful antibiotics or finding crude oil fields. meanwhile, international places unburdened with the aid of stupid debates take the foremost place in stem cells study and xenotransplantation...

Answer 11

Brave enough for what? The Goddidit version of how we got here? No thanks. I like my brain cells to work.

And, yeah, we do realize evolution is a theory. Just like creationism is a theory. If you accept it simply because it's in a book, or because your preacher told you it's the truth, doesn't make it so.
