Creationists, a serious question?

Question

Do you actually believe the stuff that you claim disproves evolution, or is this one of those "the ends justify the means" sort of things? You aren't going to convince me or anyone else that answers this question one way or the other, so please be honest.

Answer 1

Yes, I do believe that "the stuff" I claim can, in some cases, disprove some aspects of the theory of evolution. More importantly, I believe that some of the evidence I might choose to share can, if not disprove evolution, at least support the possibility of an alternative explanation for many of the unsupported (or only weakly supported) contentions of evolution.

I don't believe that the theory of evolution is total nonsense like some Christians; however, I do believe that many aspects of the theory have been carried beyond the realm of science into speculation about untestable assumptions and hypotheses...these are the areas that I would choose to debate.

Personally, I've always had a huge problem with teleological ethics ("ends justifies the means")...outcome-oriented ethics is a child-like perspective on the world (most children have teleological perspectives on right and wrong)...for me, the ends are not a rational basis for evaluating the morality of any decision since the outcomes (especially in the short-run) are often deceptive (something that seems to be good is actually harmful).

As for your suggestion that I'm not going to convince you "or anyone else", if that were true then my chosen career is pointless (darn it, all that education down the drain *smile*). Yes, some people are quite closed minded and aren't willing to look for the truth in arguments that go against their chosen beliefs or their perception of the world. But if everyone was like that, education would be pointless and people shouldn't bother sharing information or anything else with anyone who hasn't already expressed complete agreement with their position! It saddens me that you aren't willing to accept the possibility that your current knowledge about any topic is less than complete.

Answer 2

I only have a few questions for those who say that there could not be a Supreme Power involved--let's assume that all of Darwin's Theory is on line, and discount the reasons why he would have come up with his theory had anything to do with his own personal life, which influenced his feelings because of his childhood---Just two simple sets of questions that no evolutionist has yet answered for me:

1) How did the amoeba develop genetic composition when it began, and still remains, only a 1-celled creature? How did the amoeba turn into a skeleton that was male and female, with all the internal organs that man has? It cannot be survival of the fittest--the amoeba has outlasted the dinosaur. And, based on evolutionary theory, it could not be a creature of more genetic composition than the amoeba or plankton.

2) If all the other animals evolved from the very first one--how did that very first creature come to exist if not for some Supreme Force in the first place? What caused the plants and animals to be created as separate creations that this planet, and to the best of our knowledge, only this planet in our solar system, has both flora and fauna?

Answer 3

I do believe in the things that disprove evolution, such as the Third Law of Thermodynamics, that says that things tend to break down/wear out over time, rather than build up, the extremely remote probability that the earth developed in that random way, as well as the Biblical account.
But, forgive me for bringing those up. I cannot convince you, so I am sorry for seeming as if to try. This is the honesty you requested.

Answer 4

Here's the fact. Creation, Evolution, they're both theories. Christians accept Creation as fact because they believe that the Bible is true. It makes more sense to us than Evolution. We can't say that we prove or disprove anything. And in the end, I don't know that it will matter all that much. What really matters is whether or not there is a God.

Answer 5

Me Atheist.

I think you should have stopped at the end of the 1st sentence.

"Do you believe that your religion/ faith/ et al disproves evolution?" How so?

EDIT:

THIRD LAW of thermodynamics disproves Evolution? Uh... how exactly does entropy of a given system disprove evolution? It doesn't. What, did you plagiarize that from some person who truly doesn't understand entropy or thermodynamics in order for you to sound smarter?

Answer 6

You want a serious answer? No, the things I read in the Bible do not disprove evolution. It can't be proven either way. God cannot be proven in this world by science. Evolution can't be proven either. There is no known way to prove that life can self start. So even atheist have faith, faith in unprovable origin of the universe.

Answer 7

There are many reasons, aside from the Bible, to not believe the theory of evolution.

Evolution is a faulty and wishy washy attempt to explain the universe's origin without allowing any reference to GOD or a creator.

The backwardness and increasing violence of society is another reason that evolution is a falsehood.

The very spirit in our bodies (even though some of us deny it) cries out against such a mockery of an origin.

That man could evolve from one celled organisms or from apes is the utter height of absurdity and is a shame to those who have a questioning mind.

If you choose to believe a falsehood then that is your choice but please do not impugn the character of those who disagree with your views by suggesting that we might be dishonest.

Answer 8

Did you ever stop and think that the main reason for support in life by chance is founded in the atheist claims that "it must have happened that way" because they do not believe in God?
When you really look into it, this is circular reasoning.
Seriously, scientists, are breaking their backs to prove life by chance by the sole reason that anything else is un-acceptable to them.

Answer 9

I in all likelihood could learn greater approximately evolution - the place might you recommend i bypass to income of it? by skill of ways, what kind of posts have you ever examine that make you think that creationists "have 0 know-how of what they argue against"? I.m. or e mail me in case you desire. i don't examine scientific journals lots, yet I variety of doubt that "that's not even heavily debated in any respect interior the technological expertise community". It could be debated by skill of a few. After thinking approximately it however, possibly that's not debated lots in non-theistic sources simply by fact theists already furnish loads of grievance against it so the non-theists don't sense lots want. yet another motives ought to be that the non-theists sense like they might could arise with a greater physically powerful clarification in the event that they attempt to debunk evolution, and that's not ordinary to do in case you do not have self assurance in sensible layout. i think of the case is incredibly sturdy that we had to have come from the two sensible layout or from evolution of a few kind. What different attainable clarification ought to there be?

Answer 10

Why is it so hard for every one to accept the fact that God's knowledge of creating life evolved over time just as mankind's knowledge evolved over time did? = evolution.
