evolution......?

Question

so atheists believe that everything is just a product of evolution right? if so, how do they know that evolution is right? did you guys learned it just from researching thru the net, from school, or just believing what those scientists present..or did you guys have had an amazing experience with evolution? or is it simply you don't believe in God because you have not had an experience with Him...or bec He didn't answer your prayer? is it just bec of this?..

Answer 1

Evolution has nothing to do with my disbelief in God. Evolution has nothing to do with religion. That's like asking if my belief in antibiotics lead to my not believing in God.
I learned about evolution from many different sources. Including, but not limited to, school, books, the internet, and museums.
I don't believe in God because the idea of invisible, magical, supernatural beings that control the universe doesn't make sense to me.

Answer 2

Sigh...here we go again...

"so atheists believe that everything is just a product of evolution right?" Atheists are not alone in accepting evolution as the way life has come to be (even Pope John Paul II stated that evolution cannot be denied). It is not a belief system...it is fact.

"if so, how do they know that evolution is right? did you guys learned it just from researching thru the net, from school, or just believing what those scientists present..or did you guys have had an amazing experience with evolution?" We know that evolution is fact for several reasons. There are mountains of evidence to support the theory (and for the record...theory does not mean 'guess'). The internet, school, and scientific journals are all valid places to find information, but they aren't the only sources. If you truly want, you can go to natural history museums, and see the evidence (such as fossils) first hand. If you're so inclined, you can take part in archeological digs. YOU CAN DO THE WORK YOURSELF. Scientists publish their work and findings for a reason...so that it can be reviewed, debated, tested, and re-tested before it becomes accepted as fact.

"or is it simply you don't believe in God because you have not had an experience with Him...or bec He didn't answer your prayer? is it just bec of this?.." Bad experiences don't enter into it. Simply put, science has proven the bible (you know, that book that's supposed to be the perfect word of god) to be inaccurate, and blatantly wrong, in many fields: biology, astronomy, cosmology, genetics, etc. How credibile is a deity, who's 'perfect inspired word' is wrong? Logic dictates that without evidence, this being doesn't exist.

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 4

Those who *believe* in evolution have faith in the logical, circumstantial scientific evidence which supports it and the coherence which the theory provides. In other words, it makes sense (to them), they are convinced that the scientific evidence proves something which it certainly does not, and the theory is logical, so they place their faith in the theory.

A truly skeptical, or scientific, mind would realize that evolution is just a theory. It is a very *good* theory - it makes us feel like we (begin to) understand something that is difficult to understand. It is logical. But it is no more proven than the old theories of ether, steady-state universe, or the flat earth. All of these scientific theories - firmly believed in by almost all leading scientists in their day - have been proven false. The theory of evolution is in no less danger of oblivion than these. Tomorrow, some ingenious scientist may come up with a theory that supersedes evolution in all aspects of consistency, believability, and supporting evidence.

For those who think that I do not believe in evolution, you are correct. I believe that evolution is most likely the means by which God created man.

Ok fine. I will bother to answer this question for the umpteenth time. We have genes in common with monkeys. For example, the Rhesus factor which determines whether our blood type is positive or negative. This is just a little of the supporting evidence for evolution.

Answer 6

evolution is a result of centuries of scientific studies, observations, tests, in order to learn more about the natural world (God's creation). The Theory of Evolution is just as good as other scientific discoveries such as, gravity, Dna, the earth revolving around the sun, etc, etc. Evolution in no way condradicts faith and the Bible. The Bible tells us "why" God created us, namely so that we could be holy and imitate the Holy Trinity in our familes through self-giving life and love. While science (evolution) explain to us "how" God created.

Answer 7

They will feel the wrath when it is time to be judged. Then all of the science in the world will not be able to save them or their ridiculous man-monkey theories. I hope the biologists can provide a theory to them when their souls are snatched.

If evolution is true, did the first human baby create and
raise itself? Who cut the umbillicle cord? A walking fish?

Answer 8

I do believe in God. And in His holy Word. And I also accept the abundant evidence which "those scientists" - experts in their field of study - have discovered, which clearly reveals the fact of biological evolution to anyone who takes an honest look at the evidence.

Answer 9

I've done hands on evolution research. The data's there. The deniers have abandoned God, since they refuse to see the truth. They are idolaters, since they worship the Bible.

Answer 10

It inherently proves itself if you understand it.

It is like 1+1=2, if you understand it, it is fundamentally true, the ideas of natural selection and genetics act in a similar way i guess
