Do you believe in both evolution and creationism?

Question

Also, setting aside religion, which do you think is more fun to believe in, if you only had to choose one.
I believe in both, so I can have my cake and eat it, too. (Honestly, though, what's the point of having cake if you can't eat it?)

Since so many people can't understand how you can believe in both, I will attempt to explain. If we believe in both, we can believe in creationism while at the same time believe that the world was created in a much longer time than our concept of 7 days. This allows for evolution to take place. The theory of evolution allows for apes to exist while at the same time for humans to have branched off from them and became a new species. According to evolution life started from single celled organisms deriving from the ocean, and according to creationism the first species to be created were fish.

Answer 1

I think it's fine to believe in both evolution and creationism.

We do not know how God created the world. it may be that it was evolutionary in nature.

We measure everything by our own time, this is very linear thinking. Time is very relative. For us billions of years could be a split second for God.

We have so much arrogance to think that we know how the world was formed.

How can you limit God?
There is much evidence of evolution, and it could have happened this way. But the elements, the actions that pulled it altogether, do not occur without cause.

So yeah, I think your belief is very good. I also like to eat my cake. :-)

Answer 2

I understand, there is the evolution of the soul.

It starts in the sub species of one celled creatures and gradually works it's way up to the plants, fish, birds, mammals etc and finnally this rare human form of life.

I know that the soul is also created by God. He is the origin of all consciousness and also of all the ingredients that make our bodies, (earth, fire, water, air, either, mind, intelligence and ego) He also created the tiny brains of the speculative scientists and their theories.


Birth after birth we come and develop intelligence furthur until we ask the question to God, "Who am I? Where did I come from? Why do I suffer?
Then God sends the spiritual master, the bonafide Guru to guide us beyond this world of birth, death, old age, and disease.

Who believes that there is no proof of creation is a bit dull headed, I must say. There was never an incidence where a big bang created a computer, because random explosions cannot create something so detailed. The human brain is so much more than an ordinary computer, (which was created by a human)

I also believe that many living entities evolve into other types for survival.
But if evolution as the scientists explain, is true, then why are there still monkeys and one celled creatures?

Only God knows exactly how it all works. Just like only the engineer and inventor know how this computer works.

Answer 3

there's a school of thought which believs such as you're saying stated as theistic evolution. what's theistic evolution? Believers in God who in many circumstances take the region that God made the universe, alongside with the guidelines of nature, so as that the universe and evolution strikes alongside in step with those rules. the challenge is that the information would not help it. Darwinism or Neo-Darwinism or what have you ever, in many circumstances refers back to the thought that each physique life latest on the earth has a consumer-friendly ancestor… a tiny, ordinary, single-celled organism. I settle for that evolution occurs… finch's beaks substitute length and shape to 3 constrained quantity over the years. I have no problem with evolution in that particular experience, and that's definitely-supported via information. call me an evolutionist if that's what's being noted. in spite of the shown fact that, the thought that a finch ought to, via an analogous technique, strengthen right into a prevalent purple snorklewhacker isn't supported via any real information. it particularly is purely assumed to be real via distinctive characteristic of the actuality that finch's beaks substitute shape a sprint. Evolution which genuinely refers to a miles less complicated organism arising right into a extra complicated organism is an entire distinctive factor. there is genuinely no information of organic strategies spontaneously generating the complicated distinctive coaching we stumble on in dwelling systems!

Answer 4

The Noble Laureates Beadle and Edward Tautum("One Gene One Enzyme Theory") aslked "O.K.Even agreeing that everything evolved from one 'Proton'(hydrogen ion) .whence from proton?-it should have been "Created" only".Like wise some "Life"however small must have been initially Created from which higher forms of life must have Evolved.This is Science--religion need not have any quarrel with this Theory at all and make it a "Preistige Issue"--like the famous "Galelileo's Murmur".In Hindu Religion we have no such quarrels with Science.I am told, in USA stubbern teachers do not teach Darwin's Theory in Schools?!!!!!

Answer 5

sorry to burst your bubble. According to creationism the whales were created a day before all other mammals with the fish. ever wondered why? According to evolutionary theory they were land mammals who returned to an aquatic lifestyle and clearly can't have been created before all other mammals.
What do you think is more likely, that god didn't know whales are mammals or that the writers of the bible didn't know they were mammals but thought they were fish?
I tend to the latter interpretation. This also clearly indicates that you should not take the bible very literally, because god clearly wasn't proofreading...

Answer 6

How does one manage to believe both things at the same time?

Answer 7

These two things are mutually exclusive - it is a total contradiction and farce to say you believe in both.

I choose evolution because it's the one that actually has supporting evidence (tons of it, actually).

BTW, technically, evolution is not something you "believe in" or "do not believe in" - it is something that you either understand or do not understand.

Answer 8

God could not have used evolution to create man, because there was no death until AFTER sin entered the world. I'm sorry, but without death, evolution is impossible.

Answer 9

No! evolution is a farce. No proof at all to evolution, I laugh every time they claim to have proof. Now they're saying that what they once believed is inaccurate that the pre dinosaur creatures co-existed with the dinosaurs and all didn't die out first. That's because they all lived together when God created them.

Answer 10

Yes and yes.

God created evolution, and the way it works, and how it lead physically to our physical bodies.

Not difficult, and in the end, not an insult to us as His children either, we are still created in His image and likeness.

Our physical bodies, the crowning glory of the evolution of His creation, are done evolving, now our spirits are evolving towards God.
