creationism vs. evolutionism?

Question

just seein what everyone's view are

i am a christian and am dumb-founded by evolution but evolutionists could say the same for me i do agree that they are both theories neither have been fully proven.

im going to be biased so here it goes tell me have any of you seen a whale evolve into a wolf? and you will ask have i seen God. so on and on and on so put something intelligent up here so we can have an intelligent talk.

and before you say have you ever tested God on the five senses policy ask yourself this

have you ever seen your brain what about touched or tasted it have you smelt or heard your brain?

it's faith friends

okay all good answers to add a few about the exact clone and races and things and the garden of eden and me being ignorant

exact clone of course your child wouldn't be an exact clone of you that doesn't make any sense because it takes two sets of chromosomes so they would inherit your wife's chacteristics as well. even cain wouldn't look the same.

the races come in as people moved out of mesopotamia they lived in differant parts of the world your skin color is affected by where you live in relation to many things you would be darker closer to the equator and lighter farther away

oh and you have never seen evolution either my friend you say that it happend that people evolved from apes but there is no hard evidence that this ever happend

to answer the whale question you said apparently the lived on land but couldn't survive so that means that they would have to evolve to live in the ocean

to guy who posted the cubicseconed link that proves me correct?

on skepsis your talking about micro-evolution which i believe i got chicken-pox i can't get it again kinda thing. but im talking about species changing you said give a million years to evolve only no one will ever see it

also does the fact the evolution just popped up a little over a hundred years ago mean anything when the bible was written thousands if i just started a religion, cult club w/e explaining how the world and universe was made would you except it?

and many scientists do not agree with evolution saying there are many flaws with it

i also fully support that dinosaurs lived in the world with man though...

okay the apes and man have a common ancestor what is it?

to the first question how is it weak logic the same principles would a play with God they way your talking

Answer 1

MAR 10:51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.

Answer 2

Evolution does not claim that man came from apes. It claims that there are so many similarities between man and apes
that there may be a common ancestral being. Early man had a more apelike feature than modern man.
WE cannot deny the existence of dinosaurs which are now extinct. The question now is: did lizards evolve from dinosaurs or are they small dinosaurs which survived all the climatic changes over thousands of years.
As far as Creation goes, we are sure that the world as we know it , is not what God made - check the same dinosaurs . So that even in creation there is some adaptation and "evolvement"

Answer 3

I don't hold out much hope for a real conversation but here goes.

Evolution is not about magical transformations. It is about changing environments and survival. It is demonstarted constantly, every time we attempt to manage our fellow creatures.

Spray a weed killer on your weeds. Say 98% of the weeds die. Next season, the weeds come back, so you spray again, but only 50% of the weeds die. And the season after that, hardly any weeds die. What happened? Did the weeds get stronger? Yes and no. All of the weak weeds died, so only weeds that were naturally strong were left to take over.

The same thing happens in hospitals, with antibiotics. If it doesn't kill ALL the bacteria, only the resistant bacteria are left, and the antibiotics no longer work. Mutations happen all the time, but they aren't significant UNLESS the environment makes it so. It has to become literally a matter of life or death.

Is every change in a species population actual speciation? No. But at some point, the cumulative mutations become drastically different enough that gametes can no longer combine. It's more likely in smaller, simpler organisms: viruses, bacteria and amoebas, but over the course of millions of years, many species can change, if environmental conditions cause mass extinctions.

Not everything in the theory is categorically proven, but the mechanism can be observed here and now. That's why evolution is a theory and not just a hypothesis.

Creationism, on the other hand, relies on a statement in a book. There is no way to test the process or observe it. It all happened thousands of years ago, done by someone who won't show his face or submit to interviews, or offer to repeat the process. One can only choose to believe or not.

Its weaker sister, "Intelligent Design", acknowledges the mechanisms of evolution, but then seizes on the theoretical gaps and insists that it's all too complicated to have happened by itself. Again, the idea is based entirely on what we DON'T know, not what we can find out.

In the mean time, natural selection does occur, all by itself. Evolution will be revised and refined as new observations and experiments permit. But its competitors can't develop. There's nothing more for them to do. If sufficient evolutionary confirmation is developed to a point that it clearly, observably contradicts them, they'll be in serious trouble.

Answer 4

There's no such thing as evolutionism. The suffix "ism" means something is a faith. Evolution is a scientific theory, which is an explanation of the implication of facts, real evidence. Evidence that has been examined by many different scientists, subjected to peer review. The theory is also subject to constant review and refinement, and evolution is no exception. Now that DNA has been largely decoded, and we have computers to aid us in the complex analysis, there is simply no factual basis for denying that evolution is real.

The line about a whale turning into a wolf is just plain silly. That would not be evolution, but metamorphosis. That has a very limited use in biology (although a great deal more in mythology). A caterpillar meta-morphs into a butterfly, but that is a very different thing from one species turning into another. They are different stages in the development of that particular species. Rather common in insects.

Answer 5

Even though it's been said countless times and everyone who will listen already knows it....

A theory can not be proven. It can be strengthened by more evidence, or disproven. The only things that can be proven are facts (such as evolution).

The theory of natural selection, like all other theories, is a theory because it has never been disproven, but....and here's the important part...it is possible for it to be disproven. If someone ever found a single fact that contradicted it (not like irreducible complexity which doesn't disprove it but actually strenghtens it if you think about it longer than it takes you to think "Yes, Kirk Cameron is right") it would be disproven and discarded.

The concept of creationism is not a theory because no one can possibly disprove it. Any fact that contradicts it is just another of God's "mysterious ways" or perhaps he's testing our faith or "we see through a glass darkly" or whatever your particular favorite way of avoiding reality phrases itself.

Answer 6

Of direction. The bible is not very descriptive in it is depiction of God's construction of the Earth and the whole thing in it. It pretty much simply says He made it occur. Every motion has an identical or reverse response proper? If you're taking out 6 days and substitute it with 6 rather very long time intervals than it's not any unique than a rather practical rationalization, besides with God worried. At this factor, the one change might be Human evolution, rather of via filth within the flooring. There is a quote, I do not keep in mind precisely the way it is going, however it's whatever like this "God is sort of a expert vehicle-mechanic. He places the portions in combination and closes the hood, realizing with complete trust that the auto will run with pleasant-tuned precision". That is precisely how our our bodies, our Earth, and our universe is. Everything works in pleasant-track precision. Don't fear approximately the primary bankruptcy of Genesis, that is not as primary as the ten commandments, or the Sermon at the Mount, or John three:sixteen. Take care.

Answer 7

Evolution is a scientific theory with an enormous amount of credible scientific evidence to back it up. It is accepted by the overwhelmingly vast majority of reputable scientists on the planet as true.

Creationism is a fairy tale taken from a Middle Eastern mythology book written thousands of years ago that has no credible scientific evidence to support its assertions.

Answer 8

You do realize evolution requires millions of years of adaptation, dont you? How could you possibly watch a "whale evolve into a wolf" in your lifetime?

Ignorance...

edit; You should really get your facts straight before you start picking fights online for attention reasons. There is PROOF Man and Dinosaurs lived in seperate times and never together.

Answer 9

Evolution is based on hard disciplined science.

Creationism is is based on a book founded long ago by tribes men that has been translated and interpreted over the millennium that goes against simple things in science.

Answer 10

I am absolutely 100% pro-evolution. It is a valid, tested scientific theory that is really all but proven. Creationism has no real backing; it is at best a joke and at worst an intellectual scourge.

Answer 11

Re: your whale comment...

Have you ever seen X-rays of the flippers on whales...!
The fetus of a whale.. check it out sometime..

There are finger bones, wrist bones, elbows... hmm and apparently they once walked on earth but were too cumbersome to avoid their predators, thus, they went either back to the sea, or entered the sea where they could survive.

dumb is the operative word... you left the door open for that one.
