Answer 1

Remember, "god" is nothing more than a nonsense word created by man to explain away all of the things we can't yet understand.

Religion is a disease of the mind, born of fear, which has done nothing but bring untold misery down upon the human race.

Answer 2

That is called "adaption", not evolution. The core of evolution is in regard to how lower species rise to be a different or higher species. Did God use evolution to create man? No. Why? Because God would have said that it happened that way.

The math of evolution requires an infinite physical time span. However, science has discovered that the universe had a beginning--so there is not enough time to make evolution even remotely possible.

You're approach is good, but your conclusion is flawed. Since God is infinite, you should have no problem with the concept that the perfection of Creation could happen in a 144 hour period. The Greeks believed that this was accomplished with just a word of command. This was referred to as the "Logos"--ie "The Word".

John 1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Answer 3

You are right on target friend. That is what I believe!

Irreducible Complexity -seriously read about it!

Michael Behe, a biochemist currently teaching at Lehigh University, coined a term for describing the design phenomenon inherent in molecular machines such as the bacterial flagellar motor -- "Irreducible Complexity" -- "a single system composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning." 1

Like a mechanical motor, each part in the flagellar motor is absolutely necessary for the whole to function. Therefore, I couldn't logically deduce any naturalistic, gradual, evolutionary explanation for the existence of a bacterial flagellum. Besides, no one would expect an outboard motor, whether mechanical or biological, to be the product of a chance assemblage of parts. Outboard motors are designed and engineered!

Answer 4

i think that the theory of evolution is just a rip of the creation cycle in the bible.

god created light....big bang
god created the creatures in the sea....humans came from some weird fish that grew leg and came out of the ocean which explains the next
god created humans.....animals in the sea crawled out of the ocean and evolved into humans upon millions of years.


etc etc etc

also it is a good point that Gods days probably weren't the same as the human 24 hour days.

maybe darwin was just so pissed off that he looked like a monkey that he decided to start a theory that we all came from monkeys to try and make himself feel better. because put helle berry next to a 300 pound gorilla and tell me we came from gorillas.

Answer 5

That would raise many questions such as: Why did god have Moses write the creation myth rather than the creation truth? Almost any feasible answer to this places god into serious doubt i.e. God thought man couldn't handle the concept - this means that God is condescending towards humans, is wrong as we can imagine and accept it and that he lied to us through Moses...
Then there is the question of original sin and blood sacrifice, without the creation myth these are not needed.

There are more problems with this theory, but I'll let you come up with them yourself.

Answer 6

Change is taking place. Did God create global warming back when he created the world? Did he create deforestation in 7 days before resting? It is foolish to deny change. It is not Christian, it is foolish. These Christians are part of an identity movement who say they are fundamental and the Bible can be interpreted by them perfectly in absolute terms. They are fools who build their faith on the flatness of the Earth or some other magical idea. They are weak in faith and need a prop to help them form community. Those who champion these ideas are not good Christians.

Answer 7

Although I'm not Christian myself, I've often wondered that. I figured it this way:

1. God supposedly created everything in 6 days.
2. Evolution took place over several epochs.
3. Who are we to tell God his day has to equal the present 24-hour schedule? Perhaps, just perhaps, God's "Tuesday" equalled the Pliocene or Jurassic period...

Just a thought.

Answer 8

Why would he? Why would a perfect God, create something that is not as it should be, just so it could "evolve" into something else. Evolution is nothing more that a lie built upon earlier lies, that's whole purpose is to replace the one and true, Creator God

Answer 9

What if: God does not exist and evolution is just a natural effect?


Why do you feel the need to insert an infinitely complex sky pixie into the universe that behaves exactly as if there were simple natural reasons for everything?

Answer 10

That's fine by me.
Actually, DevotedtoChrist, science does dictate that everything became into being from nothing. Remember the Big Bang theory. So, science sorta contradicts itself.

Catholic.

Answer 11

Could be, but that isn't a scientific part of evolution. That is a belief, and thus a religious thing.
