Should Evolution be abolished?

Question

It use to be Natural Selection and Environmental Changes. Then all of a sudden you see this Monkey to Man Chart, Origin of Species Book and Secular Humanism. Thorough and Direct attacks against Creation. I went to school in the 50's.

You guys have got my question all wrong. I'm telling you I never heard of Evolution before the 50's. The word itself causes conflict. The biggest conflict came with the Monkey to Man Chart. That Chart is what most people call Evolution.

I can stir a hornet's nest!!!

Touche to the person who asked "Should Religion be abolished?

I can't do anything with the sunrise, but God can.

It may have come about in the 1860's but it didn't touch America until the 1950's.

Answer 1

I don't see how it makes much of a difference because at least creationists can back up everything about life but an evolutionists just bases everything based on what? Coincidence? Chance? So a big bang happened and WHOOSH! Earth was here and we came from monkeys? Who sounds crazier? They have to have some excuse for rejecting God.....It doesn't exist anyway so they can have it!

Answer 2

Just because you never heard of it until the 50's doesn't mean it hasn't existed since the 1860's. There is NO monkey to man chart, and even so, it is just a model. Models all have their limitations, but it doesn't disprove the theory. Homo sapiens' niche is due to its function in the ecosystem. Finding the origins of man's ancestry doesn't take away from his grandeur. If there is a God, and the jury's still out, THAT god gave man his reason. Through our reason, we have found a logical explanation for our place in the universe. God would want us to discover the truth of his creation. We grow intellectually with each passing second, and to accept some findings but not the others found by the same method is doubting the consistency of God's gifts. If we can prove that the Earth revolves around the sun, and that Earth is not the center of the universe, and that the religious leaders were wrong before, surely man's reason can prove them wrong again, using the same reason.

Answer 3

It isn't easy but somehow you're gonna have to forget the crap you learned in the 50s. There is absolutely no way to abolish Evolution, which has existed since the beginning of time, long before Darwin. The current problem results from dead-wrong creationists losing ground steadily as scientific theories are proven True. And general knowledge of these advances is much more widespread that 50 years ago. Or even one day ago. Today, it really doesn't matter whether you believe in Evolution or not, except for the fact it provides logical answers to counteract the many fallacies and superstitions propagated by religionists to maintain control over people like you and I.

Answer 4

No. The hypothesis has allowed scientists to be greatly funded by the secularists. This has proven to be a benefit for biology, genetics, ecology, geology, archeology, anthropology, etc. Though the hypothesis has really remained a theory is has been a driving force in discovery.

As a Christian and a creationist I still value the scientific method and greater education comes from the clashing of ideas. It's censorship that creates more ignorance. The silence of the ID argument in schools only shows that secularist want to indoctrinate and not educate.

Answer 5

And how's THAT going to work?

===

To your claim that Evolution didn't hit America until the 1950s: the first American edition of On the Origin of Species was published in the US by Appleton in January 1860 - two months after the first edition appeared in the UK.

Answer 6

I hope you are talking of the theory. Because, if evolution is true, it doesn't matter if we have a theory for it or not, and you can't abolish a natural occurance.

Answer 7

Too much proof to abolish evolution.

It is still happening, no way to stop it.

You could really benefit from an education if you desired to learn.

Answer 8

No it shouldn't be abolished, but the intelligent design theory should be taught along side it. Let the person decide what they want to believe in. If a person is intelligent enough, they will see the evidence to support ID and the lack of evidence for evolution,but they should always see both sides of the argument.

Answer 9

The only way to do it is come up with a theory that fits the evidence even better.

Answer 10

ABSOLUTLEY... and then we should abolish male pattern baldness. Im tired of wearing a hat all the time. (But I do swim faster)

Answer 11

You cannot abolish science. That would be like trying to abolish gravity....just because you chose to ignore it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
