POLL: do you believe that there is a reason God and evolution can't both be correct? Please explain.?

Question

mel, who says? Bible does not exclude evolution.
Vot Anarж's - bible says woman comes from man, what excludes other evolution?
OldGuy63, yes I do say that. where is the world only black or white?

lil_fyter - I think you are correct

Sam - thanks for your comment

Wink Winkleman - the bible does not exclude, as I said above. Take the Adam and Even story, who says on walking out of the garden they didn't become the dominant critter on the planet. Until that time there was one man, and one woman. What if the leap in evolution from the apes was Adam and Eve walking out of the garden?

Steve B - I agree

riverkid01 - God created man and all other creatures but there is not a sequence listed in the bible critter by critter. God also said "Let 'us' make man in 'our' image..." but he does not define the us.

Pedestal42 - point taken, but I didn't reference the loving aspect. Just Evolution and Creation.

Thanks everyone for your comments

Answer 1

Absolutely, evolution does not address creation, you cannot assume that something came from nothing while espousing evolution.

The vehicle that God chose to CREATE us has nothing to do with the fact that we are indeed created.

Many Christians like to take a simplistic view of creation by interpreting the Bible literally, but how do we know what a DAY is to God. Most of the Old Testament was written for tribesman who needed a guide that they could understand.

You don't read Organic chemistry to a baby, you read "The Cat in the Hat." You start from what people know and build upon that. Christians need to leave their childlike thinking behind.

Jesus used parables constantly to teach complex and unfamiliar concepts. Think about that.

Answer 2

Yes, because the Bible tells us that God created everything according to its kind, and also says specifically that from ONE MAN all the nations of the earth came about (in other words, the entire human family). The Bible makes no allowance for anyone to take away from God's creations by saying that God created this here which, in time, turned into that, which somehow turned into that.

If you believe that God exists and that he is the Creator and Maker of all things, then you'd have to abide by the Biblical account which stated that all animal life was made according to its each unique kind and that man came from man, not from apes or gorilla or some primordial ooze.

EDIT: Asker, you don't make sense. The Bible absolutely does exclude evolution, as I've explained. God created Adam and Eve....as humans. He didn't make them as apes who turned into man. There's certainly no reason to believe that upon their expulsion from the Garden of Eden that the arrangement of humans coming from humans changed. He created animals separately. There's no basis for belief that God suddenly started having animals or humans evolve into something other than what he originated with. The animal creation was there alongside Adam. Adam is the one who gave the names to the animals, most likely including apes and gorillas. Mankind continued having human offspring, and animal-kind continued to have animal offspring. There's no reason to suddenly throw a theory like evolution into it.

Answer 3

I take the Bible actually, and that i've got self assurance in aspects of evolution. i do no longer think we developed from single-celled organisms, that have been the 1st residing issues in the international, yet I do have self assurance that folk adapted with the aid of the years, and in survival of the fittest. i'm the two a scientist and a Christian. i be responsive to there are miracles interior the Bible that cannot be defined, yet for this reason they are called a miracle. there's a lot of medical information that fits with biblical scripture additionally. i do no longer think that the earth is under 6000 years previous, yet I do have self assurance that factor is beside the point, as we don't use the comparable calendar 365 days that a 365 days grow to be lower back in biblical situations. What grow to be a 365 days to them? Who is familiar with? additionally, the Earth's rotation has slowed over the years, and is persevering with to realize this, (as a result, bounce seconds...bounce 365 days), so who quite is familiar with how some years in the past the earth grow to be created, for the reason that a 365 days one million years in the past could be plenty shorter than a 365 days now. there is medical information of a great flood, and the bible grow to be the 1st rfile to describe the earth as around (circle of the earth).

Answer 4

Well, the first reason is easy: Why? Why evolve? If there was "first life" and that life did well, why would it evolve?
And if one accepts evolution, that is, from a common ancestor, then why did humans end up so much lessor physically than Apes? That part makes no sense at all.

Life is way to complex to believe that they were not created.
To simply say that a one cell animal begin all life as we know it, is just not logical.

A Creator is the logical answer.

Answer 5

Yes, because God tells us in His word how He created man, and it had absolutely nothing to do with evolution. I'd sooner believe the Bible than the nonsense evolution teaches.

Answer 6

I believe that God is just an idea created by humans that had lived earlier on this planet to explain the things that they couldn't and gain control over other people, because they didn't know anything about science and stuff back then.

And this just hit my mind right now... I also think that all prophets were people that were smarter than others around them, and they wrote their books and everyone would believe them because their were facts that other people couldn't realize them.

Answer 7

Yes.
Evolution shows very little sign of a *loving* god, from the extinction of 99% of all known species through to the location of the male prostate gland and pain and danger for women in childbirth.

Answer 8

The answer has nothing to do with god or evolution strangely enough.....its the people who are defending god/religion. Science is slowly answering all the questions that god used to answer so defending evolution is a way for the church to drag out their own exisitence.

Answer 9

some aspects of evolution are evident and real but StThomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologica proved how the human spirit being immaterial cannnot proceed from matter because what is invisible is not subject to what is material.

Answer 10

Yes.

God made everything according to their "kinds". No "kind" came out of another.

There might be variation within the "kind", but never across "kinds".

That is why we have people of different colours, but we are all still one "kind". Mankind.
