Why do you believe in Evolution?

Answer 1

Evolution is built on lies and deceptions. Only people that refuse to open their eyes and see the truth can believe in it.
Here is a small part of that truth...

Evolution teaches that we came from animals.
Evolution teaches that animals came from Amphibians.
Evolution teaches that Amphibians come from sea life.
Sea life from single-cell life.
Single cell life from chemicals.
Chemicals from rocks that were rained on for years.
Conclusion, all live came from rocks.
Which is more likely, that an intelligent created life, or that nothing did, and what about bio-genesis?

The Evolutionist base their belief in Evolution on the fact that “Micro-evolution” is true. What they do not tell is that there are 6 different meanings to the word Evolution, and only “Micro-evolution” has ever been observed.
1) Cosmic Evolution (Never Observed) The creation of time, space and matter. (The Big Bang)
2) Chemical Evolution (Never Observed) Production of heavy elements from hydrogen.
3) Steller Evolution (Never Observed) The formation of stars, planets, and solar systems.
4) Organic Evolution (Never Observed) Life from random chemical.
5) Macro-Evolution (Never Observed) One animal mutating into another.
6) Micro-Evolution. (Observed) Slight changes in a species. A better name for this would be “Adaptation”

The Sun is Shrinking.
o.1% would mean a half-life of 10,000 years, so 10,000 years ago, it would be twice as big as it is now, 20,000 years, 4 times as big, 30,000 years, 8 times as big...
The inverse square law means the gravity would be 64 times then what it is now. What would it be in 65 million years?

Carbon dating is based on 3 assumptions that can not be proven.
1. The amount of carbon-14 in the body is the same as in the air.
2. The amount that was in it at the time of death is the same as in the air today.
3. Nothing has removed or washed-out any of the carbon-14
4. The rate of decay is a constant.
1,3,and 4 are assumptions. There is no way to prove them.
2 was proven wrong at lest twice, never proven right. The amount of Carbon-14 in the air is still increasing.

The Geological Columns.
Evolutionist believe that the Geological Columns prove that the Earth is millions of years old because each layer is a different age. What they do not tell is that the layers are not even. There could be 50 layers in 1 spot, 30 layers a mile away. And 80 layers another mile.
Also they do not tell that there are trees and animals buried in the layers crossing dozens of layers and some time upside down.
There is only 2 possibilities for this...
1) The plant or animal was there for centuries waiting to be buried before it decayed. Many of the trees would have to balance upside-down, and many animal, such as whales, would have to balance on their tail fins against wind, rain, and vibrations from other animals walking/running for centuries.
2. The plant or animal was buried quickly. This would require that they be under water since only water makes dirt settle in layers quickly.

The Van-Allen Radiation Belt.

The Earths Magnetic field is slowly getting weaker. It has a half-life of 1450 years. This means that it is losing ½ of its strength every 1450 years.
Time Magnetic strength
2,000 AD 1
555 AD 2
900BC 4
2,350BC 8
3,800BC 16
About 6000 years ago (The time of Genesis) it would have been about 16 times as strong as it is now. A magnet field of that power would stop the venom of snakes from being harmful.
About 4000 to 4500 years ago (The time of The Great Flood) it would have been about 8 times as strong as now.
About 2000 years ago (The time Of Jesus, The Christ) it would have been about 3 times as strong as now.
Now, lets see how strong it would have been just 50,000 years ago.
5,250BC 32
6,700BC 64
---
50,200BC-68,719,476,736

Sixty eight Billion, Seven hundred and nineteen Million, Four hundred and seventy six thousand, seven hundred and thirty six times what is it now.

What would it have been 65,000,000 years ago?

Many Evolutionist claim that the reason the Earths magnetic field is getting weaker is because it is reversing. They say that it has reversed several times in history. If this was true then that would mean that every time it reversed, there would be a time of neutral magnetic field. This would mean that there was no magnetic field at these times. If there is no magnetic field, then there is no Van-Allen Radiation belt, and all the X-Rays, Gamma-Rays, and other forms of radiation from the sun would hit the earth directly, destroying all life on the land, and making the oceans hot enough to boil cooking all life in the waters. Evolution would have to start all over after every reversal.

How do stars form?
There are many ideas about this subject, but no way to know for sure.
Some believe that stars form from clouds of gases collecting together. As they compress closer together, they get hotter and finally ignite into a star.
This has been proven to be impossible. As the gases collect, there would be 2 forces at work. The gravity pulling them together, and the pressures pushing them apart. The pressure pushing them apart would be between 50 and 100 times stronger then the gravity pulling them together. This would be like a balloon inflating itself from the gravity of the air inside pulling more air in with no help from a outside source.
Another possible explanation would be that a star or supernova explodes close to the gas cloud.
The problem with this idea is that the shock wave would not compress the gases, it would sweep then away and scatter them even more then they are so that they can not collect. Look at a leaf blower.
Another possible explanation is that 20 stars explode at the same time all around this gas cloud.
The problem with this idea is that 20 stars would have to die for 1 to form. 400 stars would have to die for those 20 to exist, and 8,000 would have to die for those 400 to exist, and 160,000 to make them. How far back can it go, and how did the first generation of stars from?

The several stages of evolution have all been proven to be wrong.
1) Lucy.
A 3 foot skeleton of a chimp, the “evidence” that she was becoming human was her knee joint, which was found more then a mile away, and over 200 feet in the earth.
2) Heidelberg Man.
Built by a jaw bone that was considered to be quite human.
3) Nebraska Man.
Built from a pigs tooth
4) Piltdown Man.
The jaw was a modern ape
5) Peking Man.
Lived 500,000 years ago, but no remains were ever found.
6) Neanderthal Man.
Old Man with arthritis.
7) New Guinea man.
? I have never been able to find any info except that this one was found in New Guinea.
8) Gro-Magnon Man.
Skeletal Structure is exactly the same as modern man.

PS the only diploma Darwin got other then Highschool was a docteran of divinity..
Your GREAT SCIENTIST was not a scientist at all, he was a preacher.

Answer 2

Sadly, yes. I do not understand how they can handle the cognitive dissonance. You are not well-educated because you do not recognize that theory is the highest level in science. It's not a guess. It is ignorant to say "JUST a theory". The common ancestor of all apes (including humans and chimps) is a monkey and that can be proven to your satisfaction. It does not depend on the theory of evolution. It's a fact. Theories do not have proof which only applies in mathematics. Theories have evidence. There is no evidence of a god of any kind. Theories are falsifiable. That's a feature, not a bug. If evidence is produced that indicates another theory or this one needs modification, then we learned something and are thankful for it. Religion does not have that feature. And it is requred. So creation by a god is not capable of being a theory. Since the discovery of mitochodrial DNA ancestry can be determined by genetic mapping and we don't need bones to verify the theory. Theories make predictions and can be used to develop other theories and open up entirely new lines of inquiry. The theory of evolution is useful because is works, not necessarily because it is fact. Evolution is fact but natural selection is a theory. Bottom line is that it works. God as an explanation doesn't work for us and is not really an answer in that regard. Its an excuse not to think about it.

Answer 3

Pretty simple argument for the evolution:
If all humans are based on adam and eve then how come there are blacks, whites and asians and what not today?

@dinger:
As for the magnetic field reversals being nonsense:
Explain why you find magnetic stripe anomalies on the seabed. Also the theory doesn't say that the field strength goes down to 0 but that the multipole part of the field is strengthened during a reversal. Additionaly a magnetic field of 32 times the strength of the one earth has will NOT neutralize snake venom.

Sun has a 'half-life' of 10000 years:
That's a hillarious assumption you don't even care to back up with a single argument.

Formation of stars:
Now why exactly should rising pressure push those apart?

oh and jfyi caron dating only works for ages up to around 60000 years, so you don't need to discredit that, better try uranium-lead next time.

Btw getting a degree in one thing doesn't mean one mustn't have any idea of everything else, something YOU should maybe think about.

Answer 4

Evolution is fine and as far as I'm concerned, does not conflict with scientific creationism. What I do not accept from the former is the statement that the universe and all its contents - galaxies, stars, planets and life including our own came about spontaneously on their own accord from nowhere and from nothing. I know the idea of God is difficult for many so-called scientists to swallow, but a non-deistic explanation of the universe and all its products can equally not stand scrutiny in any logical debate. I want to believe that the idea of God is real but that we as a species have not yet developped highly enough to grasp it. After all, barely 200 thousand years ago, we were much like the great apes of today. May be a million years hence, we or our descendants may have the neede faculties for resolving this ULTIMATE question.

Answer 5

As Fred said, I understand that Darwin's basic idea, as it has been expanded and is now expressed, is the best scientific, non-supernatural explanation for the unity and the diversity of the biological world.

The FACT of evolution is that organisms change over time. You only need to look at the fossil record to see that not all species have existed for all time, and that the organisms alive today have descended from earlier ancestral organisms.

What Darwin provided was a very clear mechanism for that change of species over time. "Descent with modification by natural selection" explains so very many features of the biological world that no other mechanism can explain.

So, the theory of evolution is the best explanation for how the biological world developed. Again, it's not a matter of belief, but of understanding.

Answer 6

The first answerer is right. Evolution is fact. It doesn't matter if I believe in it or not. It happened. It's happening. And it's part of life. In fact, a knowledge of evolution is improving medicine and giving us (people who might get sick) a fighting chance.

Ever hear of antibiotic resistance? Read about staph infections that nearly kill people because the antibiotics don't work? That resistance to drugs *evolved* in those bacteria. Knowing that, medical researchers are working hard to find new medicines to help people.

Here's a question: Why do so many people see evolution as a threat?

Answer 7

I believe in it because I see evidence of it. It does not conflict with my understanding of the Bible. If God created the earth on the first day and light on the 3rd day, who is to say how long a day was, with no sun to measure a day?

I believe that "Creationism" as they call it, saying that God created ll things in 7 days, is very limiting to the Creator. We cannot and should not limit God's abilities. If you study the evolution of things here, you see the much more vast complexity of God's work and appreciate Him even more.

Looking at fractals and the order in chaos and the blue-footed Boobies of Galapagos Island demand that we believe things change and adapt over the centuries and that things do indeed evolve.

Answer 8

Because there are facts in everyday life that point in that direction.We once had a functioning appendix,that now we don't need.There are fish with no eyes that live at a depth where no light is found.Whales have vestigial leg bones that were useful when they walked on Earth.They became too heavy for these legs to support the massive weight,and therefore became aquatic animals.These are examples of evolution.There are many more.

Answer 9

Environmental studies. Very eye opening. Consider this, if the entire history of the world were compressed into a video 24 hours long man would appear in the last 20 minutes.

Answer 10

What is there to believe? 1+1=2

Answer 11

Because I have seen examples of where animals and plants have changed over time to adapt to their environment and to survive.

The process of natural selection and hence evolution is very well documented and is not really something that we can not believe in today.
