How can ppl like evolutionists reject a book that has never been proven wrong like the Bible?

Question

And accept a theory like evolution thats never been proven correct?

By the way there are yet to be proven any missing links 4 Darwin`s Theory. All of them have been proven to be frauds and hoaxes.

By the the way forget ur "existed" in the dino part.dinos are still here. Who told u that All dinos died?(exept ur text book)Get the Kent hovind series and he`ll tear ur faith apart in That RELIGION. Hey, did any one tell u that evolution needs faith 2? 1st question:Was any one ,tha u know there 4 billion years ago? Was Darwin there 4 Billion years ago?How do u know that the fossils were there 4 so many years ago?

And give me one proof that You found out (not that your text book told u) And give it to me.

Hey By the way All the Books writen 4 evolution where writen 200 years ago.The Bible was writen way b4 that. I guess the Bible writers have that advantage.

Hey By the way All the Books writen 4 evolution where writen 200 years ago.The Bible was writen way b4 that. I guess the Bible writers have that advantage.They must have known more about that time then Darwin etc...

Yes thats true. Evolutionists can have a strong belief in Jesus but not in the Bible (old testament).

Yes thats true. Evolutionists can have a strong belief in Jesus but not in the Bible (old testament).They are as simple as compromisers and and cowards.

Yes thats true. Evolutionists can have a strong belief in Jesus but not in the Bible (old testament).They are as simple as compromisers and cowards.

And I will say B4 I leave: Science does disprove evolution. Scientists don`t. You see they don`t want to disprove evolution Because It`s their only alternative that says that Homo Sapiens are not the Superior race.

Lets say I believe in the beginning God... and you believe in the Beginning Dirt!

Lets say I believe in the beginning God... and you believe in the beginning Dirt, Rocks, Confusion, Etc...

Well I leave it 2 you guys 2 disprove me .... If you can.

Answer 1

The Bible has nothing to do with science and your statement about "missing links" (sic.) is lies. How can someone with access to the internet be so utterly ignorant? Here, educate yourself... although I doubt you have the guts. Simplistic thinking, laziness, latching on unsupported statements that you want to believe and prejudice is much easier isn't it. Critical, detailed adult thinking is too hard and takes too much courage.

Answer 2

Just to point out that the bible was written by people ( often from their dreams) to the people living at the time.....they were written so that most people could relate to it. Many of the things written are not taken literally by people today as its socially unacceptable.

In the same vein, the theory of evolution is better known and supported than say what we know about our brains....jsut because we don't understand the brain and how things work there, doesn;t mean we don;t accept that its there!!

There is AMPLE evidence that evolution exists....our main evidence is the fossils......hey do you accpet that dinosaurs existed???? Well all we know about them is the fossils they left behind yet NOONE denies they existed.
For fossils to occur takes really precise conditions eg like a swamp, river, lake etc for the animal or plant to have been in and then preserved in the correct manner for them to finally end up being formed into fossils. we think less than 1% of life has ever being preserved...so we are working with limited material....BUT what is there tells a story and there are patterns that occur all over the world.....we can see something on an animal or plant....we may not have other evidence for a while ( the "missing links" ) and then we may find related species millions of years later with something new......a new adapatation, feature etc.....we can speculate on how it formed, seeing similar structures in other species maybe etc......its the OVERALL picture we get from the information.
We know that in the oldest rock very little occurs in it...mainly bacteria.....as the rocks get younger and younger then we see more and more things occuring....like plants begining to be seen, then primative animals....then more advanced and so on.
We have had times where say ferns ruled the world...they formed the coal we dig up today..........do you consider coal to be made up by something other than plants??????
So when you actually learn a bit more, see the multitude of evidence, see how the theory works in practice you will see why so many people accept it.

Answer 3

1) The origin of matter has nothing to do with the diversity of life on this planet. And who ever said matter had a beginning? Why couldn't it have always existed? 2) "God's inspired writer told us over 3000 years ago that the earth is held in place by gravitational forces!" The earth actually doesn't hang. It's not that it hangs on nothing, it doesn't hang period. Hanging would imply there is a 'down' direction when relativity would suggest there is not. And where does your bible use the words Gravitational Forces? Where does it spell out what those forces are and and what what is putting those forces on the earth? 3) circle of the earth? Last time I check a circle was a flat 2D object. And you are wrong again (what a surprise) Columbus was in 1492 and he knew the earth was round (not a circle). This was found out by a greek mathematician a couple of centuries before your bible. 4) "Evolutionary biology is unable to reveal why animals would abandon asexual reproduction in favor of more costly and inefficient sexual reproduction" You are truly a moron. Recombining genes gives genetic diversity that helps us survive and is well worth the cost and inefficiency of the process. "Exactly how did we arrive at two separate genders-each with its own physiology?" What you are asking for requires entire textbooks to explain. Check out your local library and read something. "Why sex?" Why not? Can you figure out another way to get one individuals genes into another? I rest my case, you are a moron.

Answer 4

Check me if I'm wrong, but the Bible says the earth is 6,000 years old. There is endless, irrefutable evidence that it's closer to 4 billion years old. So...so much for the infallability of the Bible.

Next, let's revisit the notion of a "theory" -- our whole understanding of space/time and gravity are "theories" as well. that doesn't mean that 24 hours doesn't pass every day, or that the moon isn't 250,000 miles from the earth, or that gravity doesn't pull you down when you jump up. Some theories are highly suspect, e.g. who killed Kennedy. Other theories are supported by overwhelming evidence, e.g. the fossil record - and common sense, I might add.

Is Darwin's theory of evolution an absolute fact, and is it 100% complete and accurate? Probably not, but it's got to be pretty darn close to the truth; certainly closer than a supernational being creating the earth in 7 days, creating a man out of dirt, etc. One sounds like science to me; the other sounds like a prequel to Harry Potter.

Answer 5

You gotta be kidding. What about all the people in the world that are not Christians? Next you are tell us all there is only one true God.

By the way, there is no such thing as an evolutionist. That was a term made up by Creationist. It is meant to be derogatory. What about all those Christian biologist that accept evolution?

Can you prove that the story of Noah and the flood actually happened? Can you prove that Moses parted the seas? Can you prove that Jesus walked on water?

You know intelligence is a virtue, I suggest you attempt to be virtuous.

Answer 6

Yeah, because all geologists agree that the earth is 6000 years old and that Adam and Eve ran around in the Garden of Eden with Velociraptors...

Seriously though, the Bible has been proven wrong on many occasions. Also, the Theory of Evolution is just that, a theory, albeit one that has literally mountains of proof behind it, as opposed to the bible which is one book, written by men in order to define and subjugate other men.....

Answer 7

When did the theory of evolution begin to have anything to do with the bible, except in your pointy little head. When the bible make a claim about the natural world that is not supported by the evidence then the bible is wrong, except to the delusional; you.

Uh, your additional details are a blatant lie!! Check out the human evolutionary progression.

Answer 8

I'm afraid you misunderstand science, but even worse (for someone who is religious), you misunderstand religion too.

Let's look at definitions first. Science deals with the physical universe, in which it is possible to make observations and to test them. That's the scientific method in a nutshell: You observe something happening, you form a hypothesis to explain why it happens, and then you test your hypothesis. If you find you were wrong, you form a new hypothesis. You keep doing this, and testing hypotheses, until you arrive at a hypothesis that you are unable to disprove. Then you form a theory out of this hypothesis. It is crucial, by the way, to realize that scientists do not prove anything; they disprove the alternatives.

Contrast this with religion, which deals with the metaphysical. Metaphysical literally means the things "after" or "beyond" the physical, the things out of our immediate reach. Where science requires evidence and hypothesis-testing, religion requires only faith. It would be really nice if we *could* test religion, but we simply can't. This doesn't nullify religion, as some atheists irrationally claim. It is just the realization that there are things beyond the scope of science. One should therefore not be looking into the Bible for a literal explanation of the creation of the physical universe. This would be as silly as a scientist claiming to be able to test for the existence of God. Religion and science deal with different aspects of knowledge and use vastly different tools to achieve knowledge. LET'S KEEP IT THAT WAY!

Now that definitions are out of the way, here's what's wrong with your question:

1. You state that evolution has not been proven. As I've stated above, science does not seek to prove but to disprove. Evolution has stood up to every attempt scientists have ever made to disprove it. Since no scientific alternative is in existence, we stick to evolution as our explanation for the development of life.

2. You state that the Bible has never been proven wrong. As I've tried to explain to you, it is not for scientists to try to test the Bible. Science does not have any tools to deal with the metaphysical or supernatural.

3. You assume that it is impossible to accept evolution as scientific fact and believe in the God of the Bible. I have news for you: there is a whole world of people who are able to do both. I am one of them.

Please don't take this as harsh criticism. I empathize with you for wanting to hold onto your faith against what you perceive to be atheists out to convert you. But you have a narrow understanding of religion, and you should take some steps to at least understand other perspectives. I encourage you to take these points back to your church group and talk about them with others. You might find that your beliefs are not so contradictory to science as you might have thought.

Answer 9

Many evolutionists DO believe in the Bible.

But they don't believe in INTERPRETATIONS that are clearly nonsense. Like the idea that the Earth is 6000 years old.

It is perfectly possible to believe in science and have strong faith. Here's one notable example:

http://www.reasons.org/

For most people the argument between Creationism and science is an unnecessary fight. Nothing in science denies the possibility of a Creator, one who watches over us today.

It's all just silly, unnecessary, and often downright evil disputes over exactly how that was done.

Answer 10

Religion is faith-based and not science-based. One of the main tenets of religion is that people believe on the basis of faith rather than on the basis of proof. The faithful do not look for proof.

Science is based on exploration and investigation. One of the main tenets of science is that people believe on the basis of evidence. When new evidence is presented, science-thinking people adjust their thinking to match the new evidence.

These are two fields that are not in competition with each other. They have entirely different underlying principles.

I teach biology, including evolution, and I base my science beliefs on science, again including evolution.
