Questions to christians?

Question

Why don't u believe in evolution theory ?Do u still believe earth is the centre of the universe ?

Answer 1

Many Christians do believe in the Theory of Evolution. The few that don't just seem to be more vocal about it. They are the Bible literalists who feel that the Big Bang Theory and the Theory of Evolution discredit their entire belief system.
Obviously, the churches that teach the earth was created 6,000 years ago and rely on people believing this to fill their offering baskets are more than a little worried.

Answer 2

I got to tell you Ron I am a Christian and I believe in the Theory of Evolution, Relativity and that the World is round also I do not believe that the Earth is the Center of the Universe. I believe that you have worded this question wrong.

While some Cristian's believe that Darwin's Theory is wrong and that explain this by Intelligent Design there are many who believe that Science and Religion can coexist and that the bible can be read as an explanation of that theory. I resent being blackened by the brush of in tolerance you have painted all Christians with. It explains why intelligent questions in this group are shot down all the time.

Answer 3

No, never thought that earth was the centre of the universe, that would be slightly silly, since God has made this vast universe with thousands of galaxies and solar systems.
Of course we don't believe in the evolution theory. Why on earth would I believe in something that has never been proven doesn't matter how many years and scientists have worked on it, but they just can't get it right.

Answer 4

As a Christian; I am open to the possibility of evolution. I do not believe the Bible is necessarily written to be a history book; that all things in it are to be taken literally, like perhaps a fundamentalist Christian would.

That being said, however, evolution has a fair number of holes in it. For example, if we assume homosexuality is genetic, how could such genes ever propogate under an evolutionary theory?

It also has problems explaining the origins of systemic components in a complex biological organism. That is to say, components which interwork with other components to serve a greater function, where such components serve no advatageous purpose to the organism other than the purpose which they would serve in that system. For example, a mousetrap without a spring would just be a board. Why would a board evolve to take on the hammer, and lock, if the spring was not there? A board with these components, but without the spring, would be just as useless as the board. It would still catch no mice. Thus the problem of irreducible complexity, evolution cannot simply make a series of linear steps to get to the interworking biological systems that we have today.

A third problem is that it has been held to violate the laws of physics. Specifically, the 2nd law of thermodynamics/entropy. It posits that simple organisms -- starting with a single celled organism -- may over millions of generations and mutations -- eventuate into these vastly more advanced structures, capable of complex thought, communication, reflection, and abstraction. But we know that concentrated energy diffuses; unless there is some outside force holding it in place. Similarly, order tends to chaos. Evolution turns this logic on its head; and says -- randomly, by chance -- chaos can turn to order.

The palientological record also strains to find the number of transitional structures (fossils) that one would expect under an evolutionary theory. The various sedimentary layers, in most cases, tend to show an identically structured organism per each layer of sediment; instead of showing different, yet similarly structured (evolving) organisms.

The theory is not wholly without merit, however. It is quite curious, for example, why humans have hair on their arms, fingernails (claw like) or an appendix -- or why whales have pelvises when they do not walk, etc.

The similarity in DNA ; for example, between a chimp and a human -- I never found this argument compelling. This could be evidence of evolution, just as easily as it could be evidence of polymorphistic creation.

Answer 5

I don't believe we evolved from apes, or the evolution theory.All the history of the world books have shown doubt to this exact theory. I believe the lord our God is who put us here for a purpose higher than most of us can comprehend. As each year passes this is proven as factual vs. fable. Open any history book and moses and others are in it. As far as my own opionion the earth could not possible be the center of the universe it's [the universe] is far too big out there for the earth to be the center. I am not a space specialist.

Answer 6

The reason why I don't believe in the evolution theory is because it just seems to random. I don't believe that things happen because they happen, I believe theirs a force that makes something happen, and I believe that that force is the only God. For example, why does the sun rise. Yeah, duh, the earth rotates, but what makes the earth rotate. We don't ask how things happen, but why. And, also, no we do NOT believe earth is the center of the universe. In fact I don't even believe the milky is the center of the galaxy. So, if you though we believed all that stuff you are completely wrong. I hope I helped you learn more about Christianity.

Answer 7

Oh, man. This has a lot of levels. I'm just going to try and go over some of the stuff I, as a Christian, believe in.

Obviously the Bible is meant to be taken by Christians basically literally. I think it is for this reason that a lot of Christians can seem closed-minded or ignorant to some people. It says in the Bible how God created the world and all that. In the description, however, it is pretty general in the making of the world. So, here is my opinion: I think that some of the evolution-like stuff could have happened, but God controlled it. The planets could have just "appeared" by means of what evolutionists say and could have been produced by God. After all, it doesn't say exactly in the Bible how they were made.

Answer 8

I do believe in evolution. I do not believe that he Earth is the centre of the universe. I do not believe that God created the world in seven days. If you have eternity, what is the hurry?
I am often surprised when reading my Bible the time scale of events. That which we expect to be in a couple of generations is often a couple of centuries or more

Answer 9

I believe in evolution, but I also believe in a creator. It just seems to me that a creator of some sort set things up for evolution to happen. I'm sorry if you think that's ridiculous, I know it must sound that way to you. But my belief in a creator is not hurting anyone. I'm not very religious, so I don't preach religion to anyone. The only thing that will happen is I will either die and nothing will happen, or I will go on. No big deal really.

Answer 10

There is no way that everything we can see or touch came from evolution No, a true Christian does NOT believe in evolution. A Christian believes in the BIBLE. If he doesn't then he is No Christian. God's word is alll we need to know and accept. How can anyone say they are Christian and not trust Gods; word.? God plainly says that He created us in His own image. How could the stars stay in Heaven ,the moon, the sun, all different parts of the body in the right place, and different species that can't breed, and ect. ect. Look around and wise up. Even science can't explain a lot of things because God did it and science doesn't know how If you meet anyone that says they are Christian and believe in evolution, I suggest you run and run fast. You can't hear a true doctrin from them.
