God or Evolution?

Question

Which one would you pick?

Answer 1

BOTH!!!

Answer 2

For me they are not mutually exclusive. I struggled with it for years. It is like asking, "What do you believe, the facts or the truth?" I believe in both. The Genesis story of creation was the most advanced scientific explanation available at the time (Babylonian), but it has a different twist in the REASON we were came into being. The order of events in the Genesis story parallels the order of events expected in evolution.

Humans desire to understand their environment. Historically, what we could not understand has been answered by religion. (The rising and setting of the sun was thought at one time to be Apollo driving his chariot across the sky.) As science answers some questions, new one are created. Faith is in the answers to questions that cannot be answered. (How does an electron jump from one side of an atom to another without being anywhere in-between? Chaos theory shows how small insignificant events can affect the course of history - the butterfly effect. Perhaps in that unexplainable realm of chaos, is where God is doing his handiwork.)

Answer 3

Evolution.

Answer 4

I would pick God, simply because i am a Christian. Evolution says that we basically come from a common ancestor, which i guess is kind of like Adam and Eve. Its a lot about what YOU believe personally. I think that God created the world and the people, but i do think that we could have evolved from what he made..There's room for both

Answer 5

GOD alone.Why ? First, I have reasons to believe that, the evolution theory, is nothing but a bunch of lies and origin of idle mind.I was a firm believer in the evolution theory, until I came across two books titled "A quack to bird evolution" and "Some fishy stories about fishes". After reading the same,my entire thinking got a beating and made me look at evolution in a different perspective. Without GOD, there would'nt have been such exotic and varied species on earth.For example, the evolution theory says,initially birds were not able to fly and they evolved from reptiles.The reptiles in order to escape from their predators started running and their scales became jagged,they started leaping and ultimately developed wings from their fore limbs and started flying.The birds have the following unique features for which they are able to fly,note;
1.They have hollow bones to reduce their weight.
2.They have fast metabolic rates which gives them the energy required to make a flight.
3.They have a nervous system suitable for flying.(Heart rate,respiration,circulation,digestion etc)

Now imagine a Aeroplane.Will the same fly if all its systems, the structure, the engine, aerolons, the intricate electrical wiring, the fuel etc was not in order or out of place. Definitely NOT.That means that the plane in order to fly must have all the above systems working perfectly to enable it to fly.Isn't it ?

Now coming to our little reptiles who started to think to change over to birds.Their system needs to be changed overnight to enable them to fly.If they were not flying and trying to change little by little,imagine how many would have lost their life trying to jump off from cliffs for making evolution to work. How many archeopteryx's might have broken their necks in the process.But sorry,even with broken necks they have to survive in order that the evolution is passed on to the next generation.And remember,their bones were becoming hollow all the time ( added is the crashes of our little archie).

I mean to say,a bird can only and only fly when all the systems as mentioned above change at a time At Once.And this for evolutionists is not possible.

Hence GOD only created Birds ALL AT ONE GO.Now believe me or not.

Answer 6

I subscribe to a greater power view of things. "God" created everything we see around us and also wrote the laws of physics.... evolution is part of this grand system. To believe in some biblical fairy tale as to the creation of the universe is a horrible waste of the magnificent brain power that God gave us.

Answer 7

Both have equal contribution..
If there was no evolution, we would still be in the amoeba like stage..
If there was no God, we would not be 'alive' with a soul and with a feeling of self, today..

Answer 8

Evolution.

There is abundant evidence for it and it is one of the most comprehensively proven ideas of all of science.

There is no evidence at all for any god. So you may choose to believe in one, but you do so with no rational basis and discussion of him as if real has no place in science.

Answer 9

Combined....
