Q1. Doesn't evolution contradict religion?

Not always. Certainly it contradicts a literal interpretation of the first chapter of Genesis, but evolution is a scientific principle, like gravity or electricity. To scientifically test a religious belief one first must find some empirical test that gives different results depending on whether the belief is true or false. These results must be predicted before hand, not pointed to after the fact.
Most religious beliefs don't work this way. Religion usually presupposes a driving intelligence behind it, and an intelligent being is not always predictable. Since experiments judging religious beliefs cannot have predictable results, and may give different results under the same circumstances it is not open to scientific inquiry. St. Augustine commented on this in _The Literal Meaning of Genesis_.

Some religious beliefs do make predictions. These predictions can be tested. If a religious belief fails a test, it is the test that contradicts that religious belief. The theory which makes the correct prediction should have nothing to say on the matter. This does not mean that scientists don't sometimes make the mistake of saying a theory contradicts something

Answer 3

God formed the world like it says in Genesis. In the new testament it says a day is like a thousand years to God. So it was either done in 7 human days or 7000 years, it doesn't really matter, God did it. Animals and people then evolved through micro-evolution meaning: A small dog and a big dog can mate and create a new kind of dog. A dark skin person and a light skin person can mate and create a medium skin person. However, in written history, there has never been documented a case of two dogs producing a non-dog. Or apes producing humans. Why because I have faith and there are too many amazing things in this world to have happened by accident. And if evolution were true, you'd have to admit we're pretty bad at it. For instance, we'd be able to self create, we wouldn't need a mate. Having a mate is too time consuming and complicated and slows down the evolution process.

Evolution is an act of nature that performs the will of THE LORD GOD. Man's evolution was shown in a vision 2,700 years ago by THE LORD GOD to Prophet Daniel 7:4...saying lt was lifted up above the ground; and it was made to stand on its two feet like a man; and a man's heart was given to it. That was the vision which means that the small remnants of the mammals climbed up the trees and then as monkeys inhabited the thick canopies of the forest; later the monkeys went to the savannahs of africa and there without trees and fruits learned through their new environment with the predators like lion, tigers, cheetah, etc to run and walk and constantly upright to see wider view for security reasons and then they learn to walk for 3 million years in the savannah as homo-habilis and homo-erectus; then after 5 million years walking and forced to eating meat thus, wtihout fruits, the proteinous contents of the meat expanded the apeman brain and he became a man (with the spirit of a man given by THE LORD GOD) -according to GOD's plan. Similarly, the earth was created only for a moment which is understandable under the principle of the SEGMENTATION OF TIME. This means that any number say trillion, trillions. trilion of trilions of years, etc divided by infinity is actually zero in human standard. Thus, time and space are relative. It is likened to mega-second which is one millionth of a second but it exist in the micro world and this is called the segmeted time (macro-micro). Thus, to THE LORD GOD a trillion, trillion, trillion of years is not even a blink of eternity. So spiritually speaking, the creation of the whole universe is merely seven days under this principle of segmented time where even evolutions of everything took place performing the will of GOD. THANKS GOD; FEAR GOD; PRAISE GOD; GLORIFY GOD; LOVE GOD AND WORSHIP GOD.

Answer 5

There are several different views on this. Some believe that god created the world from nothing. others believe that god took existing materials and created the world and others believe that there was already a world here and god just terraformed it. I support the view that god terraformed an existing planet.

Answer 6

It was God, with no evolution involved. Read Genesis chapter 1.

Answer 7

The ancient alien colonies had superior genetic engineering abilities. Shortly after they arrived they gathered up a variety of monkeys and artificially inseminated them with their own genes.

Answer 8

The Catholic Encyclopedia states Bible is Skeptic and Concocted
A. THE FORMATION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT CANON (A.D. 100-220)
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03274a.htm
The idea of a complete and clear-cut canon of the New Testament existing from the beginning, that is from Apostolic times, has no foundation in history. The Canon of the New Testament, like that of the Old, is the result of a development, of a process at once stimulated by disputes with doubters, both within and without the Church, and retarded by certain obscurities and natural hesitations, and which did not reach its final term until the dogmatic definition of the Tridentine Council. ("Canon of the New Testament")
There is a lot of confusion about the earliest existing texts of the Bible. The oldest extant manuscript of the Bible is believed to be the Codex Vaticanus, (preserved in the Vatican Library), which is slightly older than the Codex Sinaiticus (preserved in the British Library), both of which were transcribed in the fourth century.
As for the story of Jesus, there were at least 50 gospels written in the first and second century CE. Four of them (Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John) were included in the official canon during the fourth century CE and are found today in every Bible. All of the original copies of the gospels were lost. What we have now are handwritten copies, which are an unknown number of replications removed from the originals.
Rudolf Bultmann, a prominent 20th-century professor of New Testament studies writes about the life of Jesus:
We can now know almost nothing concerning the life and personality of Jesus, since the early Christian sources show no interest in either, are moreover fragmentary and often legendary; and other sources about Jesus do not exist. (Bultmann 8)
Why Word Inspired by God (Bible) has three genealogies of Jesus pbuh.
How could the "inspired words" of God get the genealogy of Jesus incorrect (See Matthew 1:6-16 where it states 26 forefathers up to Prophet David, and Luke 3:23-31 says 41 in number). Or for that matter, give a genealogy to Jesus who had NO father?

There is difference of centuries between II Kings 19:1-37 and Isaiah 37:1-38.Why both has same verses.
See II Kings 19:1-37, now read Isaiah 37:1-38. Why is it that the words of these verse are identical? Yet they have been attributed SAME WORDS to two different authors, one unknown and the other is Isaiah, who are centuries apart; and yet, the Christians have claimed these books to be inspired by God.

What is According to:
Christians boast about the Gospels according to Matthew, according to Mark, according to Luke and according to John. However, if we think about it, there is not a single Gospel according to Jesus himself. According to the preface of the KJV (King James Version) new open Bible study edition, the word "Gospel" was added (see below) to the original titles, "According to John, according to Matthew, according to Luke and according to Mark." Incidentally, why does every "Gospel" begin with the introduction According to. Why "according to?" the reason for this is because not a single one of the gospels carries its original author’s autograph!

Luke never met Jesus pbuh, Is the gospel of Luke really a hearsay.
If you read Luke 1:2-3, you will learn, as I did, that Luke (who was not one of the 12 disciples and never met Jesus) said that he himself was not an eyewitness, and the knowledge he gathered was from eyewitnesses, and not as words inspired by God. Incidentally, why does every "Gospel" begin with the introduction According to. Why "according to?" the reason for this is because not a single one of the gospels carries its original author’s autograph! Even the internal evidence of

Was ‘Gospel according to Matthew’ was not written by Matthew, according to Bible?
Matthew 9:9 proves that Matthew was not the author of the first Gospel which bears his name:
"And as Jesus passed forth thence, He (Jesus) saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and He (Jesus) saith unto Him (Matthew), follow me (Jesus). And he (Matthew) arose, and followed Him (Jesus)." Without any stretch of the imagination, one can see that the He’s and the Him’s of the above narration do not refer to Jesus or Matthew as its author, but a third person writing what he saw or heard - a hearsay account and not words inspired by God.

Did Pagan Constantine contribute in writing the word of God?
It is worth noting, and well known throughout the religious world, that the choice of the present four "gospels" of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) were imposed in the Council of Nicea 325 CE for political purposes under the auspices of the pagan Emperor Constantine, and not by Jesus. Constantine’s mind had not been enlightened either by study or by inspiration. He was a pagan, a tyrant and criminal who murdered his son, his wife and thousands of innocent individuals because of his lust for political power. Constantine ratified other decisions in the Nicene Creed such as the decision to call Christ "the Son of God, only begotten of the father."
