Creationists: What have you studied re: evolution? What resources have you specifically used?

[NBB]

How did you study it? What resources did you use?

Internet stuff nothing like a course or like that.

What internet stuff? What sites?

Since that is blatantly false, you must not have studied evolution to any significant extent at all.

What is false? that they say we are a brain only? or that a creator is not needed for it to work its thing? give you view then.

 

[NBB]

What internet stuff? What sites?

All over the place i don't remember specific sites. except some videos on youtube, and text in articles etc i searched the internet to learn a bit.

 

[Theodoric]

Hmmm...OK then, what god do you worship? Because I believe all 'atheist' means is 'no god'.

Most atheists are agnostic in terms of belief.

Like Stephen Hawking would say: a creator is not needed, i'm pretty sure he believed in evolution? you are going to oppose him?

To the OP:

You're an Athiest. What have you specifically studied? Have you taken any courses in biblical studies (e.g. high school, college, online)? Have you read any books on systematic theology? Which ones? Do you use online publications? Have you read any theological journals?

Why would you? So you could impress some random stranger on the internet with how well read you are on a subject that you don't believe and have no interest in?

Your question was pompous and self-serving.

The OP is an agnostic, not an atheist, and in this instance speaks for all of us, including those of us who are Christians. Taking us as group, the answer is a resounding yes to all of those questions. Indeed, I am constantly impressed by how much the atheists and agnostics who participate here know about theology and the Bible, usually more than the creationists.

I don't specifically believe or disbelieve in a particular god or gods. I just think if any such supernatural beings do exist, they likely aren't represented by any human religions.

I also believe that my opinion on the subject of the existence of god(s) doesn't impact whether or not such beings do exist. If they exist, they exist. If they don't, they don't.

What did you specifically study?

Mathematics, geology, statistics.

 

[CuriousPagan]

Both a creator and evolution would result in the world we see so I'm an agnostic on this subject.

You have to be careful if you use creationist websites. They not only promote creationism, but systematically misrepresent the content of the theory of evolution in order to make straw man out of it.

Anything recent? Even just one source?

I think if they ever applied a mathematical model to evolution - ie how long would it take for evolution starting with that single first "life", which could only last for what, nanoseconds (?) to get to the complexity of human life as it is today, I might be interested. If they've looked at this, I'd be interested in the resources and assumptions made.

No that would have been bad for research porpuses i used 'normal' sites.

I just searched and read a lot some years ago but it was all secular if that was had you worried.
I don't remember specific sites sorry.

Then where did you come up with this?

...evolution says we are a piece of meat only and a creator is not needed for it to work.

 

[NBB]

Then where did you come up with this?

Just out of the mouth of evolutionists.
Whats your view on this though?

 

[pitabread]

Just out of the mouth of evolutionists.

Who said this? I've read lots of material on evolution and can't recall offhand ever reading something like that.

There is no evidence of early lifeforms in the fossil record, soft body lifeforms cannot form fossils. That lack of evidence means that science is unable to comment on early life forms.

Mathematics cannot make any statement of truth or fact.

As with the inflation event in the Big Bang, early lifeforms present a mystery. A mystery beyond the reach of the empirical method. If you can accept that the scientific methodology is limited, to the bounds of observable evidence. Then you can accept that science cannot answer the big questions.

Oh, I'm not worried. I'm just curious as to what material creationists are using for their research into biology and evolution.

Though I'm still wondering, because nobody has provided any answers to that question.
