Is this whole revolt against evolution and the big bang just a passing fad? People had a similar outcry when..

Question

Galileo and Copernicus disproved geocentrism, scientists figured out that the Earth is more than 4000 years old, and 18th and 19th-century scientists figured out that plagues are a result of bad hygiene, not sin. Humans eventually accepted these ideas. I mean, come on. Even the VATICAN only recently recognized that its treatment of Galileo was unjust and illogical.

Answer 1

Evolution and the "big bang" are the passing fad honey, both ideas are relatively new on the sceince scence. Don't confuse superstition with faith or science. Neither evolution nor the "big bang" have been proven - name one scientist that was there to witness it! It can't be verified and it wasn't witnessed. But we do have a written record of Creation as witnessed by the Godhead. Name one species that we have witnessed evolving into something better than what it was to begin with. You can't. Everything in the natural world de-evolves, that is a proven, scientific fact. You can't have it both ways. True science requires verifiable evidence that can be reproduced. Go ahead, reproduce the big bang, I dare ya, I wanna see it. ALL science can only work with what it knows to be true and verifiable at that point in time.
And I beg to differ, but the hygene laws of the O.T. were given for a reason...to avoid sickness...so even way back then people knew to dig a hole to do their business and remove a sick person from the camp, etc... Some plagues ARE the result of sin - AIDS is a good example, it got it's impetus as the result of a sinful lifestyle. Remember this: even us Christians are human, prone to making mistakes, hmmm, just like you? BTW Galileo and Copernicus were both Christians (Catholic)....most early scientists were...and, gulp, there are many God-fearing scientists out there still.

Answer 2

A bit of a deviation from the actual question...but in all actuality, it doesn't matter what the majority (or even the whole of) the world thinks about any topic...it doesn't change the truth. If someone came up with some way to convince most or all people that 1+1=45, that doesn't make it a mathematical truth just because it's popular opinion. And the fact that everyone knows [believes] that 1+1=2 has nothing to do with the truth of it, except that it's obvious, so it's accepted.
Just a thought along the lines of your question.
As for the actual question...I am of the belief (though many would disagree) that the ACTUAL Big Bang Theory itself and Evolotion Theory itself (note that I said "theory"...no one knows for sure because we weren't there) was the fad, and it's finally passing. :-) Eventually the truth will come out.

Answer 4

As a Christian I guess i am not a yellow pencil. I think those who don't believe the big-bang have never read the big-bang. They assume their preacher has, and trust his teachings. He is afraid to teach anything that may affect his attendance (thus reducing the tithe). So mainstream Churches will go on for a long time teaching that the big-bang is not true. (i have read it extensively.) And i am sure that God used that method to create the universe. Now evolution of life (as tough under Darwinism) does not hold water. Life demands a life give. And i can not accept that a exchange of energy in a pool of acid started life and the complexity of life in it's many forms just happen. I am open to the idea (and think this way) that God used some sort of evolution to bring life to the point it is today. But not as it is taught in schools

Answer 5

I think it depends on the breakthroughs that will be made in the coming years. Thier are scientists on both sides of the evolution debate, and as they continue to dig, they will find the truth. I don't really think this debate has to do with all scriptures vs. Evoltuion. It seems that certian parts of the Christian faith are really attacking this thing, with some new voices from the Muslim faith. But I know alot of Muslims who say that even if Evolution is true it doesn't prove that the Quran is wrong....I wonder if there are Christians who feel the same.

Answer 6

My brain tells me that the big brain theory makes absolutely no sense. Intelligent Design does make sense. I know that you will never be able to understand with your simple little mind, but I think I will try.

Anybody who has ever witnessed an explosion knows that what follows it is utter chaos. Just a big huge pile of rubble with absolutely no order or purpose. So what I can't wrap my brain around is how a giant explosion could create the Earth and everything on it that works so well together. Every living thing on this earth needs oxygen to survive- Trees create that oxygen- I guess that was just an accident absolutely not planned. But in order for there to be more trees, we need bees to pollinate them. The bees very exsistence is to pollinate the trees and make honey, without the pollen, they could not survive either. So the bees depend on Trees and plants, the trees and plants give off oxygen and the oxygen is nessacary for all of those to survive. What did they call this in science class? Oh yeah, the great circle of life.

You see what cannot be explained to me is how the Circle of life was created through the big bang theory. Intelligent Design explains that though. You see some religious theorys make no sense, like illness like the plague being caused by sin, that makes no sense. Intelligent design does make sense though, a whole lot more than the Big Bang.

This is not just a passing Fad, One day You will find out that intelligent design is the correct principle and Big Bang is just Bogus. That is why the big Bang and Evolution are just Theory's, they have and never will be proven.

Answer 7

I'm waiting for the day!

As to what KiaSister1 and a few others said,

"The big bang doesn't make since because when an explotion occurs it doesn't just make things prefect so nothing would work."

It took thousands of millions of years for Earth to finish forming and to be inhabitable for living organisms. The Big Bang did not just create an Earth that was completely functional. Watch the Discovery Channel, or just go back to eighth grade science.

Answer 8

It will likely take more work on our part, the thinking community to prove to them beyond a shadow of a doubt that their ideas are wrong. We've known the world is round and not the center of the universe for centuries yet the vatican is just now admitting it acted wrongly? How much longer before it recognizes other scientific ideas.

Answer 9

Well, this one may go on longer because many believers see it as a last stand. Life (and to a lesser extent cosmology) was their last big mystery that could not be explained without some sort of deity. Now that it too has been shown to be the result of natural forces, Christians have countered with... denial again. But this time, they have nothing to retreat to. So they are going to stand on their last patch of ground, stick their fingers in their ears, and scream "LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU".

Frederick - Are you being facetious when you say that there is very little evidence for the big bang? I hope that was a joke.

Answer 10

Evolution is a much bigger foe for the Christians, because evolution means God is not needed for the appearance of life on earth. That is why they have to attack evolution so hard. When they do not need God anymore, they will accept evolution.
