Answer 1

Definitely intelligent design. It's much easier to believe one being created all than to believe all came by chance and evolved into various complex creatures. DNA is so close in composition on so many things that sometimes the slightest tweak can give us something completely different, cause deformity, learning disabilities, birth defects, etc. How would each one know what to become? We look like a fish at 6 wks in the womb & even floating in fluid but 7 months later the only resemblance is we have to a fish is needing to be forced to breathe air. If not we die.

With all the worlds we can view possibly billions of years older why hasn't a single one had at minimum some form of an animal or real life form on it? The earth has hundreds of them that can live in both extremes of temperature here. A few degrees closer or farther from the sun it couldn't sustain life. We first have to find water before looking for life. Our planet is mostly water but we breathe air. We can even meta think (anotherwords think about thinking). Everything operates independently in our body. But we can make our heart race or make it stop just because we want it to w/o any drug, etc. Same goes for our lungs expanding, releasing toxins (pee & poop), the list is endless. A pc is fast but it took man to create it and the software. It didn't just evolve because all the right parts were there. Man, be he Frankenstein or a scientist has never created life in even it's simplest forms from scratch (though one fooled other scientists for years).

Though I do believe in a certain amount of evolution such as learning new ways to heal sickness, prevent most birth defects, use our mind in new ways, etc. But these are all things that develop over time through need then trial & error. Not evolution.

To me believing in evolution as taught is as foolish as thinking if I want a tomato all I have to do is wait and somewhere a seed will appear & grow to be one if I wait long enough. Much easier to believe in God.

Answer 2

I do believe in Christianity and a loving God, but I don't think the Theoy of Evolution requires any "Faith" at all. It just makes plain, logical, reasonable sense. If you believe God created the universe & humanity or it evoled from "a spec of dust" isn't actually what you asked, you asked which takes more "faith" to believe. But Evolution happens every day and is absolutly viewable and seeable. I'm not saying Evolution is where we come from, but as a matter of "Faith", Evolution happens. Unless you think every single person in the world is identical, we know that people are diverse. and people have "mutations" (for lack of a better term). Maybe God created the diversity and Mutations, but all the same, they exist. Now the point is, due to diversity, the more adapted "mutations" are more successful and better reproduce, and this is a simple example of Evolution. Now given "Billions of Years", and it becomes pretty easy to believe in Evolution in the context you reference it, not much Faith needed.
Thank you and God Bless

the convey purpose of evolution is to discredit the Bible. The Bible says we would desire to constantly honor the king. The Europeans had a splash problem with that some years in the past. the top result replaced into the assumption of evolution. examine out the historical past of evolution. the theory of evolution has finished a multitude of harm to society-only take an in depth look at Europe-and its coming to america. If one would not think of that the coaching of evolution isn't risky-only look at what number knowledgeable human beings have self assurance it. Even maximum scientist (scientist!!!) only settle for it as actuality, and don't question the claims. to this factor there is not any longer one shred of evidence to even recommend evolution as a danger-in basic terms ideals and critiques-based on assumptions and lots fetched suppositions. No-evolution and Christianity are no longer nicely matched. Evolution is changing and has been over the previous few years. Evolution used to intend that one animal developed into an completely diverse animal (macro)-completely unrelated. Now the definition leans greater in direction of relation (micro), animals speciate or adapt interior of specific parameters. creation says God created the animals and that they reproduced after their own variety. canines produced canines types, and lizards produced lizard types, and birds...birds. that's the definition that evolution is moving in direction of. at last evolution will mean creation-watch this happen!

Answer 4

It's simply not an either/or situation. There are plenty of devout Christians who accept the overwhelming evidence for evolution; evidence which ties in beautifully with continental drift, DNA studies and bio-geography. Continental drift is a fact; you can see video of the upwelling larva in the middle of the oceans as the plates drift apart and larva flows can actually be traced from some continents into others. Organisms from the tops of Eastern Australian mountains have closest relatives on mountains in South America, New Caledonia or New Zealand. I've seen this evidence first hand and the pieces of the puzzle fit too well for me not to believe in it.

Answer 5

Conceptually there is no conflict and they are not mutually exclusive theories.Both attempt to search for a viable truth and have their own ways to approach the question of the 'beginning'.There fore at an intellectual level one can live with both and need not get in to any controversy.It may take many more decades if not centuries to actually resolve the issue and therefore,it would be futile to fight on the issue with neither the rational nor a proof for either.But then,is anyone listening ?

Answer 6

It is more convenient to believe in evolution. If evolution is true then we don't have to worry about a just God telling us what to do. As a Creationist I have used logic, science, history, and the Bible to talk to evolutionists. However, I was just wasting my breath. My pastor once told me that I cannot argue anyone into the kingdom of Heaven.
Evolution is not science. Evolution(ism) and Creationism are both paradigms. I don't understand how nobody can understand that. We are now going through a very noisy, irritating, and rough paradigm shift. The winning paradigm would have to answer all the questions and correctly interpret all of the evidence.
Their is plenty of evidence for creation. stratification, volcanoes and fault lines, biology, astronomy and others. However, this evidence is always being misinterpreted.
I encourage everyone to study this with a critical mind. Do not just simply accept what you want to believe. After all is said and done you will be a Creationist.

Answer 7

I would say it takes more faith to believe in the Darwin theory than to believe there is one God that organized the creation. With Darwin you must believe all these things happened and never repeated itself and did not continue to develop as it had in the past than to believe God spoke everything into existence. With believing in God, you only have to believe in God and that He was capable of doing all things. The Darwin theory is a continuing thing until it suddenly stopped producing man from monkeys etc back to the amoeba and before. That takes many more steps than creation.

Answer 8

Evolution is such a broad term. Natural selection: Proven. Sedimentary rocks and fossils more than 6,000 years old: Proven. Big Bang Theory: Not proven, but evidence points to it and some does not (Uranus rotating in a different direction and such).

I say I believe in both God and evolution. God made it all possible and the world evolved from there.

Answer 9

Well any one who believes that a little tiny dot that has no life could just explode and create millions of stars, the sun, the moon, eight different planets, and put them all in the exact right spot so that there could be life on earth, and then start slowing creating life, must have an enormous amount of faith to believe in (The black exploding dot god.)

Answer 10

There is more to the debate than that. You make your claim look nice and tidy and try to make the other one look foolish judging by the way you wrote it. Plus, you seem to be confusing the big bang with the theory of evolution which clearly means you don't understand what you are talking about.
