My only 1 problem with evolution and my 1 problem with the big bang theory.?

Question

If evolution was true, why hasnt man evolved into more than man since then?

IF the the Big Bang was true, what caused the big bang?

Answer 1

First answer is man is barely out of the jungle how far could we be by now.
Second answer God naturally

Answer 2

As for your first question, man has continued to evolve. There are genetic mutations in babies all the time. There are also simple genetic differences. Some have survived, some haven't. Man probably won't evolve into a new species unless the environment dramatically changes or we move out into space because our current species is perfectly adapted to the environment. Similarly, alligators haven't evolved much either. Finally, man has only been around for a short while, geologically speaking. Less than 100,000 years. Evolution is a process that took billions of years. You are thinking to small.

The second question, no one knows the answer. There are several theories. Google them. But none have been officially accepted in the scientific community yet. You are talking about two different things: the first is the big bang. Science knows a lot about this, and it is accepted. The second is the cause to the big bang- they can only speculate. But this does not exclude the first. For example, for thousands of years people knew that people caught colds, but no one knew why until germ theory came around. There were lots of speculations about why people caught colds- the weather, spirits, humors, blood- but no one knew the cause. This did not change the fact that a cold was a real thing that people could study. The same is true of the big bang. We probably won't know what caused it in our lifetime, but we are already close to being able to prove that it happened. Scientists already study light, heat and matter from seconds after the big bang.

Answer 3

Evolution is a slow process so you won't notice man becoming more man in your life time.

And I'm not sure if you were wondering about this or not but I'll say it anyways. The reason that all monkeys and apes aren't humans now is because there was a seperation. Some seperations in a species are geological and then you have two seperate genetics pools along with a different environment and it is, to make an analogy, like a large chunk of ice slowly drifting away from a larger chunk of ice.

What caused the big bang is unknown. The Big bang may be acausual also, or caused because of a lack of reason for it not to happen...otherwise I think we would have to assume a bias but that is just my perspective...

And to elaborate on the person who said "mathematics" for his answer on what caused the big bang he is trying to say things like if 0 = X+(-X) then we could have an infinite amount of things that would still be nothing as a whole. I'm not sure but we might even be able to verify whether that is true or not with advanced mathematics and see if the universe appears to have a neutrality to it as a whole.

Answer 4

A. Man has evolved and the traces are there!

Through mankind's evolution it is thought that each mutation only happened once and was so useful that it dragged along its near neighbours on the same chromosome as it spread. There has not yet been time for natural DNA shuffling as generations succeed each other to break up the long strings of material on either side of each new change.
Estimates of dates, based on what we know about the speed of such genetic rearrangement and the rate of mutation in the surrounding bits of DNA, suggest that the white European variants arrived surprisingly recently.
The random mixing caused by sex is expected to break up such long chromosomal blocks within a few thousand years. The length of the tell-tale and uniform segment around each pale-skin gene coupled with some (admittedly rather wild) statistical guesses hence date the main shift in hue at not much more than 10,000 to 20,000 years ago.
That in turn suggests that Europeans were dark-skinned for much of their history.

Mankind having become the dominant species and thriving because of it does not have any pressure to mutate rapidly although it is happening slowly.

The cause of the big bang is not known but there are a number of scientific theories which would take far too much space here to explain.

Answer 5

Evolution only favors survivability. Humans have been around roughly 150,000 years. That is a very short time to see much change when you realize that Neanderthals were around for more than a million. But we are changing. We are noticeably taller, we have a smaller jaw and little toe, we walk more upright than we did just a few thousand years ago. You are trying to rush evolution. It will happen, but we are very successful and there isn't much pressure to change right now.

M Theory suggests a the cause for the Big Bang was a collision in the underlying framework of other universes. This is still relatively untested. But even if we have no idea what the cause was there is still a ton of evidence that it happened.

Answer 6

We haven't evolved into more than man for the same reason that our sun isn't a supergiant star: we haven't reached that point yet. We are human only at the present time as a transition form between our older, ape-like forms, and a further evolution that could take millions more of years to attain.
As for what caused the Big Bang, admittedly, we do not know. As I have seen on an earlier question, man's every theory of creation fails to account for that first cause.

Answer 7

HUMANS (women too! Dude, get over the gender-specific language, it's 2007) are still evolving. For example, we have grown taller as a population over the years. That is due to natural selection, which is part of evolution. Evolution happens too slowly for you to notice in your lifetime.

Why do you need a cause for the big bang? If you can believe that 'no one made god', then why is it a stretch to apply it to the big bang?

Do you feel this way about the Easter bunny? There's no more evidence for god than the easter bunny, you know. Just because the god story is shoved down your throat more when you are a child, does not actually lend it more credibility.

Answer 8

The reason man hasn't evolved is because of civilization. Civilization has created an environment that anyone can procreate and have children in. Thus, there is no evolutionary pressure and evolution stops.

Nobody knows what caused the Big Bang. That doesn't mean that it didn't happen. If you look at the universe, everything is flying away from everything else. We can literally see the light that has finally got to us from the Big Bang.

Answer 9

Mankind is evolving as we speak. I think you're under the impression (like many Creationists) that evolution is alleged to happen on a much smaller time scale than it actually does. Notable biological change takes 100s of 1000s of years. It doesn't happen over short spans (e.g. recorded history- hint hint).

As for a plausible scenario behind the big bang, many cosmologists point to an undulating universe, meaning gravity (black holes) constantly gather mass, eventually swallowing up all surrounding matter including smaller black holes. When all matter is compressed into 1 mass of nearly infinite gravity, BANG!. The universe expands. The process starts over. It eventually collapses into another black hole. Another big bang follows.

Of course there are no absolutes to the 2nd question. It's all conjecture. But to attribute the big bang to "God" makes no sense. It's an intellectually lazy, god of the gaps argument devoid of reason.

When real scientists are faced with a question, they dig in deep to try to find the most probable answer.

Answer 10

Let us understand that if we live without faith in the Most High then the only thing we can know are the things that are, in effect, quantifiable and provable through a linear process. There is an entire world - a universe if you like - of things and occurrences that do not ask the permission of the rational to occur . . . and will, when it is time.

Signs in the sun, moon and stars at the end of the age related to incredible events that foretell the timing and the nature of these great occurrences, and because these great occurrences come not from the earth - though they end upon the earth - they come from the heavens, then the signs must be given by God.

The sun turns as black as sack cloth and ashes and smoke goes up from the abyss and what comes out of this abyss will make the heart stop beating.

Revelation 12:7-9 "And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."

These are the sorts of things, to the rational mind, that seem fantastic, fairytale, perhaps nightmarish of the Grimm's Brothers fairy tales. It is no wonder that the rational mind is obligated to reject these things because they are not part of any of our experiential history and certainly not subject to quantification or prediction. These events will catch the world unaware as we discuss the silly big bang and evolution.

Answer 11

Re: Evolution. Evolution is a very slow process taking millenia for even the smallest of changes.

Re: Big bang. The coalescence of all matter/enery at one point caused the big bang. The universe appears to be in a repeating cycle of expansion and contraction. Eventually, the universe will again begin to co lapse in on itself to a single point and we'll have another big bang.
