for those that outright reject the theory of evolution?

Question

How many of you have studied this at university level?

Dr Larry

please explain then, I'm all for learning a bit more

Answer 1

I fully believe in the theory of evolution and I am a senior biology student. I think that the whole debate about whether evolution should be taught in our schools or not is actually supported by all the people who reject the theory. They show just how little they understand the theory by saying things like "if we evolved from monkeys then why are there still monkeys?". Seeing as how they clearly have no grasp of the concept, it is obvious to me that evolution absolutely needs to be taught in our schools.

Answer 2

Hello,
I have studied evolution, but not on a University level. I am attending college and had to conduct research involving the theory of evolution. There is one main reason why I don't believe in evolution without some type of diety behind it. The beginning... Scientifically speaking nothing can appear out of nothing. So in order for the big bang to happen...

According to the Big Bang model, the universe developed from an extremely dense and hot state. Space itself has been expanding ever since, carrying galaxies (and all other matter) with it.(Source:Wikipedia, 2007)


... someone or something had to create the universe and the things involved to start the "big bang" that started out the makings of our great earth. So who was it? For whatever question you give the next answer would be,"And who created that?". To me it seems logical that the only answer would be their has to be divine intervention involved. I myself believe that "God, Allah, whoever you want to call him" started the big bang.

Answer 3

Forget about taking a college biology course. What about the people who reject evolution but don't even know how to define the term? Or people who don't even know the difference between "Theory" and "Hypothesis"? Hell, I learned the latter in 8th grade.

I think the bottom line is that people can't be bothered to read something that's longer than a magazine article and requires learning some new vocabulary words.

Answer 4

Does it take a college degree to reject theory of evolution ???

Because evolution is not a science, it should not be taught in schools and universities. It’s a hypothesis that has never been proved.

Evolution defies mathematical probability. Evolution defies laws of physics (second law of thermodynamics.)

Answer 5

I had a reply from a guy two days ago who insisted that evolution was "entirely random", (and therefore inprobably of happening).

A lot of people on here haven't even studied evolution for an hour, let alone at university level.

It's shocking the level of ignorance on here. Whats more, these people argue about it! Something they don't even understand!

Answer 6

The answer to your question is zero.Anybody who had studied evolution would never be able to "outright reject" it as they would know that it was a fact.

Answer 7

God can, did, and still does use evolution as a way creation. However he also can use time any way he likes and his days are not as ours so that leaves a lot of room for speculation on the exact time table in our reckoning of time as to how long it took him to create the earth and everything on it.

Answer 8

I'm Christian, but I don't reject evolution. In a matter of fact, it makes more sense than creationism.

Answer 9

To reject evolution is to reject all science. As all sciences are interrelated it is impossible to reject one without rejecting the lot.

Answer 10

my guess is not many. i'm a grad student and everything i know about evolution i learned in high school and through independent study...
