People who don't believe in evolution, Abiogenesis or the big bang because of religious beliefs?

Question

I'm not saying I believe in God, nor am I saying I don't believe in these theories. However I think you should believe in these theories because they don't disprove God. There is no evidence against evolution yet you don't believe it because you think it disproves God when it doesn't. How do you know God didn't make evolution happen? Or start the universe with a big bang? How do you know he didn't make living things from Abiogenesis?

I just want to know how these theories disprove God?

Rb I beg of you please learn what evolution really is. I'm not saying you have to believe it but all I'm asking is that you read up on it. In this theory we did NOT evolve from monkeys.

Keith C the bible was written by men. Men are imperfect and they are not God. They may have misunderstood how God made the heavens and the earth. It's just a possiblity. So if you understand that the bible was written by men, these theories do not disprove God at all.

Plus if you read genesis God made man last. So over millions of years he may have taken an animal and made it evolve. It's not that far fetched.

Dave C, I'm only asking people who don't believe in these theories because of religious beliefs. I really don't care what bs you found.

Yeah I read your thing Dave C, which just proves my point even more. It would make more sense for a God to be behind these theories pushing them along. It makes perfect sense.

It's not like scientists are trying to disprove God with these theories. They are trying to explain how the universe happened. Therefore they might be saying how God created the universe, how s/he did it. These theories do NOT disprove God.

Answer 1

They don't.

Answer 2

I am not religious, but to think something could explode and make all these things on earth and make the universe and humans and make the plants and even the plain old rocks and animals of every different kind is purely absurd. It is a fairy tale and not a very good one at that. How stupid does one have to be to believe in a "big bang" theory ? Oh no, I'll take the creation route every time.

Answer 3

Big bang was a theory created by a catholic and then replaced with the inflationary theory, this doesn't disprove God.

Evolution, or change and adaptations of species passed on to offspring, to some extent, does not disprove God. Of course, if taken to the extreme that humans came from 1 reproducing cell, it disprove the biblical account of God's creation.

Abiogenesis is "against genesis" thus it goes against the biblical account of God creating life on earth.

Answer 4

Evolution is only a theory, it has not been proven. Here is a link to some videos that talk about evolution and creation: http://www.hopevideo.com/Creation_Seminar.htm
There's only 4 videos and it should answer your question.

You think that they are not disproving God, but they are trying to. They are trying to come up with a theory of how we came to being to prove that there is no God. You apparently don't know what the evolution theory is because you wrote "in this theory we did NOT evolve from monkeys" and this is not true. You need to read into the Evolution theory because they are trying to prove that we evolved from monkeys and that IS part of the evolution theory. Evolution has been disproven.

Answer 5

Evolution, abiogenesis, and the Big Bang are incompatible with a literal interpretation of Genesis. If the Bible is truly the infallible word of God, anything that goes against it must be a lie, or the Bible isn't God's word.

My Christian relatives all figure that God's behind everything, evolution included.

Answer 6

People seem to have taken to thinking in absolutes these days. Religion OR science.

This viewpoint would have seemed ridiculous to people like Isaac Newton and other thinkers who saw it quite appropriate for man to attempt to understand the workings of the universe. Such researches were not seen as incompatible with the idea of a God. In fact I would suggest that Newton would have felt it an insult to his creator not to use his talents as he was best able.

Sadly few have the intellectual abilities or depths of faith of one such as Newton these days, it appears.

Answer 7

I am a Christian, and I can believe that God could have created this way. This doesn't go against my beliefs. And science does tend to point to this. As far as evolution, I don't see enough scientific proof in this. Where this goes against my belief, is man was created in the image of God...not evolved from a monkey.

Answer 8

Because since I believe God is real, I believe that the Bible is true, and the Bible tells us that God created the heavens and earth, and every living creature, and breathed life into man.

Answer 9

What those theories do is make a literal reading of the first eleven or so chapters of Genesis likely false.

If Adam and Eve are allegorical, then original sin is allegorical, then the need for Jesus to save us from original sin is allegorical, and that sort of emasculates the come-with-us-or-be-damned mentality in Evangelical Christianity.

I don't accept the premises, but I think that logic is sound. I understand why some Christians are science deniers - because they think that it will save them.

Answer 10

Remember the succession of events in genesis are the same for evolution, coupled with 'a day to God is like unto a thousand years' (meaning time is irrelevant to God), you get evolution instead of creationism.

Answer 11

The ironic thing is that the Big Bang is actually perfectly compatible with the idea of a creator, but people don't realize that because they think it says "the universe came from nothing," which it doesn't.
