how can you believe in evolution?

Question

I dont believe in it, actually many people who right stories about evolution cant even give you a single ex. on how its real, they say stuff but then switch topics, so how can you believe that nothing made nothing
but you cant believe are great god didnt create nothing from something?
i love god and i believe he created you

I dont believe we evolved from moneys
"2 horses may produce a horse of a different color but they will never produce anything but a horse"
Two horses together will never produce anything but a HORSE, it will never change
"How does evolution ex. mercy, charity, and caring? If evolution is true, the driving force of nature is "survial of the fittest." Those less able to compete are destined to die. Any attempt to rescue these "less competitive" people would be against the most fundamental force of nature."
Taken from the book "why does god's creation include death and suffering"

I dont believe in evloution and i never will.

and yes i know its more then i wrote but i only have so much room so i cant explain everthing on how its wrong

Answer 1

I'm with you, and so are one heck of a lot of scientists, including biologists.

[Watch the thumbs down pour in.]

Answer 2

Okay, don't believe in evolution. But you do realize that just because you don't believe it that doesn't mean it isn't true. No one is telling you that you have to accept evolutionary theory.... Your statements after the question show how much you don't understand the subject and yet you ask this question. What kind of answers did you expect to get? Did you think people would read what you wrote and smack themselves on the head and say "Now why didn't I think of that!"? Oh, and "survival of the fittest", for about the 10,000th time, does NOT mean the survival of the strongest. It means those most able to adapt to their environment will pass on those traits to their offspring -- it's "survival of the most adaptable" NOT the strongest. But why do I bother? You have already made up your mind; why should I confuse you with the facts?

Answer 3

Well of course you don't believe in evolution your version of evolution is bogus. You should/ should have payed attention in school.

First of all we didn't evolve from monkeys we evolved from a more primitiver version of th human. Second of all if a horse made another horse over and over it will very slowly change depending on its enviroment's suitability. Third nobody really knows what started it all and we might never know. It could be a supreme being of some sort or an alternate dimensional chain reaction beyond our comprehension (that one is very possible there are 11 dimensions in our world we can only comprehend up to number 5 and somtimes 6.) I can tell you though we didn't come from nothing we came from somthing or maybe everything.

Answer 4

Mercy, charity, and caring? The whole of mankind benefits through these, thereby ensuring the continuation of our existance. Actually, mercy, charity, and caring have EVERYTHING to do with evolution.

We did not evolve from monkeys. Apes and humans once shared a common ancestor.

The offspring of 2 horses will be a horse. Correct, gold star for you. Evolution takes millions of years of tiny changes, so every generation is pretty much exactly like the generation before it. The question is, how similar is today's generation from the generation of a million years ago? You'll see vast changes there.

"I dont believe in evloution and i never will." Thanks for your upfront honesty about your own close-mindedness. Why are you bothering to post about it then?

Answer 5

I hate to be blunt, but the same thing could be said for Christianity. There is absolutely NO proof that Jesus lived, died, and was resurrected from death. Nor is there any proof that there is an omnipotent "God" watching us like some sort of t.v. show.

There is proof to evolution. The only problem is, it's very difficult to explain to someone of a closed mind. Your "2 horses" theory is sadly mistaken. There is a process called "Natural Selection", another one of Darwin's theories, that explains that over time, our DNA can and, subsequently, does change. Consider this, my dear: How can two people with brown eyes create a blue-eyed baby? The answer: genetics. (Blue eyes are a recessive trait, represented by bb, and brown eyes a dominant trait, represented by BB or Bb. If you do a pedigree chart using Bb and bb, cross-breeding into four possibilities, you'll find that you have Bb, Bb, bb, and bb- a two in four chance that you'll have a Bb brown-eyed offspring, and a two in four chance you'll have a bb blue-eyed offspring.)

And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the true driving force of nature is indeed "survival of the fittest". (Try researching "Natural Selection" and other theories on Yahoo or Google...) The earth is over 4.5 billion years old. Let that sink in for a moment. Mankind is but a mere few thousand years old. We have evolved (and not every theory of evolution suggests that it was from monkeys, although I tend to agree with this theory), and are still evolving today. Like it or not, science does prevail in some aspects of life. I would encourage you to seek your answers to your questions with an open mind, and not just read some loon's book about why evolution makes no sense (and basing it on absolutely nothing...)

Answer 6

1. Evolution is a very sound scientific theory. You either accept it, you you don't have a scientific theory.

2. evolution doesn't say that 2 horses should produce a non-horse. That would dis-prove evolution. Learn what evolution is.

3. morals and social behaviors come from us being social animals. Things like mercy, charity, and caring give our populations much higher chances of surviving then independent, non-moral animals. Learn more about social behavior in animals.

I have never met someone who was educated on evolution who didn't also accept it.

Answer 7

Sounds like you are looking for an example of evolution.
How about fish? All God's creatures, right? They happen to be of the "animal kingdom," and have quite a number of different looks about them. A lot of different species.

Most have eyes. They can see under water. How about those that live in caves? They have no working eyes. They are born that way. How did that happen when their 1st cousins of almost the same species who swim in the stream that comes out of the cave have eyes that work well and serve them well? How about "evolution?" The fish in the darkness didn't need eyes, so they gave up that trait that most fish have. They evolved into an organism that is hatched, grows and dies without needing sight to live.

Want to argue that?

Answer 8

You have obviously never studied evolution very thoroughly -- otherwise you would know that nearly everything that you claim about it is false. Do you make a habit of lecturing on topics that you know nothing about? If you actually took the time to learn about evolution, you would find that everything we know about life on this planet is consistent with the theory -- and nothing that we know is inconsistent with it.

The majority of Christians do believe in evolution -- and see no conflict with it. It is only a fringe segment of the more extremist protestant sects that reject it. This is because they take a literal approach to the Bible. But the world provides so many contradictions to a literal interpretation of the Bible that only a fool would believe it.

Think before you speak.

Answer 9

I'm really not trying to be rude here, but you need to take a biology refresher course. Humans did not evolve from apes, we share a common ancestor with them. No one has ever suggested that two apes had a human child ... these genetic changes are slight and occur over millions of years. If you take a class, you'll be provided with plenty of examples of evolution.

Secondly, evolution never claims to explain charity and caring. Compassion is a result of society -- gathering together in a group to achieve a common goal. A sociology class might provide these answers.

Answer 10

Dear Mr. Creationist (or whatever your handlers tell you to call it this week),

Another 30 board-feet of pasting the same arguments does not change the fact that they are still as wrong as when we debunked them all the first time.

You have absolutely zero ability to comprehend what you paste, and as such, when you come across the same argument already shredded here at a later date it appears brand new to you. It is a truly sad state, and you need to grasp that you only highlight your own mental deficiency by persisting with the cut and paste marathon.

Were you able, on even the simplest level, to grasp the concepts involved, you would recognize the repetitive nature of your posts. As it is, you do not even have that elementary comprehension of the topic at hand.

Sadly, this is how creationism works, they rely on the vehement and vociferous response of their most ignorant and uneducated of followers to speak for them. They pot up the article, fully knowing the lies, distortions, and misleading nature of them and wait for people like you to cry them from the mountaintops.

We know the creationist movement to be dishonest to it's core, because the articles they produce requires a pretty decent knowledge of astronomy, cosmology, geology, anthropology, and a variety of other sciences... yet it is deliberately twisted and distorted in to outright lies. And this is not the type of misunderstanding that comes from a bad grasp of the topic, it required in-depth lies and trickery to produce.

So climb that mountain again, Rainman, and tell us again how wrong we are.

Answer 11

A) Nothing came from nothing?? Evolution is not about the creation of life. Its about the diversity of life.

B)We evolved from monkeys? No. We evolved from the same ancestors. Sort of life distant relatives

C)Attempting to Rescue "less competitive people" is important in survival. Heard of survival in numbers??

D)Micro evolution leads to macro evolution

E)I like the fact you never will believe in evolution.Reconfirms loads of stereotypes on your kinda people, and how open-minded you can be.
