really want to know about evolution ?

Question

evolution, just the facts
1. millions of years ago the whole planet was just a big rock.
2.then it started to rain.
3.it rained for millions of years.
4.then the rain and the rock mixed together th form ooze.
5.the ooze swam around in more rain untill it became a cell.
6.after millions of years the cells became fish
7.then the fish cliamed out of the water.
8.after the fish laied on the bank for millions of years it started to breath air.
9.then the fish turned into a monkey, and the monkey to a man.

all seems kind of silly to me, what do you think?

Answer 1

Right on! It is silly.

Answer 2

As for the rain it makes more sense than the flood take a look at it this way what happens when you mix hydrogen and oxygen ? You get water ! real difficult huh ? But the millions of years you say ? We have had those rains for billions already it is just the same water { evaporation and condensation } where did your flood waters go ! Life only has to evolve once in this universe as they have found simple cellular life forms in space that with evolution could spread life throughout the galaxy or even the universe !

Answer 3

Why is it silly? There's plenty of evidence that your story is more-or-less the way it actually happened, even if you've presented it in a sarcastic way.

The "raining for millions of years" part is overly simplistic. The formation of the oceans was highly episodic, with several periods where the energy from major meteor strikes caused the oceans to evaporate all the way to the bottom.

Men and monkeys had a common ancestor, as can easily be seen from their DNA sequences. Monkeys did not turn into people.

The transitions from fish to land animals (and back again---bear-like creatures to whales) is well-established and has obvious intermediate forms: amphibians going one way and seals & walruses going the other.

There are several theories of biogenesis, but none is yet definitive. In any case, biogenesis is not a part of evolution, which is strictly about the (observed) origin of new species from older species.

Answer 4

Two points:

(a) You need to refine your timeline a bit so it's more in sync with actual scientific thought, and

(b) Are you suggesting that it's more reasonable to believe that some eternal, omniscient, omnipotent being snapped his fingers and *POOF* created everything in six days, made man out of dirt and women out of a rib?

And then, later on, this omniscient being told the last virtuous (how anybody can call Noah virtuous, I don't know) man on earth to build a big boat for him, his family and two of every kind of animal on earth, had it rain for forty days and flooded the entire earth?

Because if those are the options, I'll take even your warped, misguided view of evolution over the alternative.

Answer 5

You're missing huge parts of the puzzle there, boss. When you put it in that simplified way, it does sound silly.

However, you can say that about everything - take religion for instance. You could boil down religion to the following (I'll use Catholism as an example):

1. There was a dude who was in the middle east;
2. Then he created a riot and was killed;
3. Then his body went missing from his tomb;
4. People started to worship him;
5. Now, to get to his house, we have to eat crackers and wine every Sunday.

See what I mean? The above, technically true, is missing large parts of the story which fill in the details. Much like your question above.

Answer 6

That is just about the most ignorant explanation of the chronology of evolution I have ever heard. I think even Answers in Genesis could do better.

You need a book. I suggest The Ancestor's Tale.

Answer 7

Missing out on an education, I see.

Put down the bible for 2 minutes and try reading a book on the subjects of geology, natural history, biology, astronomy and lastly look at evolution.

Or go back to school and try and stay awake in your science lessons.

Answer 8

you over simplified the 7734 out of it but i got a good laugh.
Thank you!

Edit
i am a " fun-da-MENTAL-ist" christian.
i do understand the theory of evolution and it does truly sound that silly.
They have only to prove one thing and the theory will come together like a good stew, BUT they never will be able to prove that one simple little thing.
Who knows what it is?
i am looking for an answer from those "intelectually superior Atheists" . Are there any?

Answer 9

Fact #10: facts 1-9 are wrong. And yes, it does look silly when a creationists tries to understand evolution.

Answer 10

The Earth is older than millions of years, numbnut

Answer 11

You're right. That's bloody ridiculous. I much prefer the scientific theory of evolution by natural selection, discovered by Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace. Your one's bollocks.
