Do you believe in the LIE of evolution?

Question

Let me ask you this:

If you found a watch in the sand, would you automatially assume that it formed by itself? Of course not. The watch is far too complex to come about by accident.

The same things goes for all life on earth. Agree?

Our bodies are even more complicated than a watch. Look at all the pieces. Look at the chemistry.

How can the eye form from nothing?

Answer 1

Lol. Here we go!

Video called "Evolution IS a Blind Watchmaker" about the straw man argument you just used.

Answer 2

There were no poodles on the Earth 5000 years ago. We bred them into existence from---wolves. Imagine that drastic change over just a few thousand years. Did God just give us Poodles later? No, they evolved from wolves. The same is true for almost all living things on this planet, they were something else, and over the years they changed gradually based on their specific needs for survival--or, in certain cases, due to Human efforts to find specific traits and keep them in their animals--for instance, herding. Human beings since the beginning of time have -known- that evolution is true, even if they didn't have a word for it. They knew that Fathers and Sons were strangely alike--and called it 'Blood' Something in the blood made them the same, they figured. Close enough.
You really believe nothing changes? Anything different is directly created by God at that moment. Wow, very thorough thinking, there.
I would be most eager if you could offer a logical, empirical basis for the falsification of evolution though. Proof could make a hollow argument void of substance but for emotion and 'faith,' into something everyone rational would believe.

Answer 3

Yawn. The watchmaker analogy.

1) watches don't self-replicate, each generation a little different to the previous one
2) what made the watch-maker?
3) Evolution does not say creatures pop into existence fully formed. From simple beginnings, complex systems emerged.
4) natural selection is not random and has nothing to do with 'accidents'

Answer 4

Did bigger watches give birth to the watch you find in the sand? No? Then evolution doesn't apply. Go read a book. The bible doesn't count.

*edit*
The eye's "irreducible complexity" has long been debunked. Even the "intelligent design" morons acknowledge that. First comes a single light sensitive cell. It gets more complex and more useful from there.

Answer 5

Sorry John, that argument has been refuted to many times. Anyhow it was not proposed to give credence to a personal man in the sky type God. It was an argument to justify what became called natural theology or deism.
You might like to read up on William Paley and Samuel Clarke.
After you have got the basics of what they said then you might like to read something called "The Blind Watchmaker".

It is fine to want to promote and confirm your faith but you should be aware of what the arguments you quote from were about.

Answer 6

gee your logic would impress any Einstien now wouldn't it .
this sort of fallacious argument has been dealt with many time before but I don't feel like treading there again . Soon there will be computers that have such a capability what will you say then . oh and is a time piece man made like your manmade god . I mean while we are speciously comparing apples and oranges if you would assume your time piece is manmade then why wouldn't you assume your deity was manmade as well same kind of logic you employ .oh boy
peace my friend enjoy it while it lasts you only go round once

Answer 7

Well, if there was a scientific explanation as to how the watch could form naturally. And there was also no other scientific explanation as to how it would come about..Yes, I would accept that it formed by itself.

Evolution is the same way. It very clearly explains how life can evolve. And to date there is no other theory that explains that.

Answer 8

Watches don't reproduce. A cat didn't come from thin air, it came from another cat, two SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT cats to be precise. And across millions of generations of variation and selection these differences add up bigtime. Tracing back through not just the fossil record, but also genetics, the grand-grand-grand-...-daddy of all organisms was a VERY SIMPLE one. Probably much simpler than any living organism today with the exception of viruses.

Answer 9

so thousands of scientists over many decades are either completely and utterly wrong or (going by your question title) lying - ohh it's a giant conspiracy - they're running around planting all these fossils themselves! Thousands of them!

have you tried wearing a tin foil hat? I hear it's good for blocking out the signals

Also I wasn't aware that watches reproduced - thats probably one more lie the scientists are keeping from us

Answer 10

You make no sense.

If you want to make a STATEMENT then go find a soapbox to stand on. There is no point in asking a question like this and you'll just give ten points to the person that agrees with you the most. Awesome.
