Why do you believe in the evolution theory?

[RickG]

Very well stated (sfs)!!!

Amen!

 

[Davian]

I don't accept the farce of evolution. It has no proof, no evidence, and will not stand the test of time.

It is a lie, perpetuated by the elect intellectuals and they will fabricate, formulate, extrapolate data to prove it. Then hide, bastardize, destroy anything that proves against it.

If any educated, accredited, learned and respected person stands up publicly against this lie they will be discredited, harassed, blasphemed, ridiculed, and bullied for going against the powers that be that owe their lives, careers, credibility, financial backing and status to the perpetuation of this fallacy.

The time is coming where it is going to be harder and harder to hold on to this hoax. Things coming will make it harder and harder to deny that there is a dimension that exists in a different realm than ours and is spiritual in nature. It is going to get louder and louder and louder.

Things unexplainable by the joke called "empirical science" are coming to this age. Sights, and occurrences that will be impossible to accept and at the same time say that this world happened on it's own and life was spontaneous as well as all living things came from this one little impossibility.

With the advancing of cell phones and cameras, everyone has one, more and more real events will be recorded and unexplainable by the minds of the people chained by the closed system of evolution where mere chance and natural factors have molded this one organism as it moved through the stages of morphing, mutating, and deviation, living and dying until what we have today was arrived at.

They will be left, mouth hanging open, while events unfold that shatter the concept that this is all chance and random.

All ready, scientists and educated accredited people are documenting things that are unexplainable by this archaic principle. These "wise" people are scrambling to understand what they can use next as an excuse for the facts they are observing.

Eventually, it will end up that we did not start by chance, but we were seeded here by some extremely more advanced intelligent beings that can move through time space and dimensions.

They will of course, never accept that this is what the Bible has said all the time. Yet they will still not believe that the Biblical account is true. They will propose another story that, in the end, will exclude God.

Nice rant.

Do you have another one, tailored for those that accept evolutionary theory, but are Christians?

The amusing thing is, amongst all the varied theories and foundations of the sciences, religious fundamentalists could not really have chosen much worse than evolution, in terms of picking one to refuse to accept.

Imagine if, instead of evolution, they chose to disbelieve.. say... the theory of gravity. Those of us on science's side would be in big trouble. Why doesn't gravity sit with quantum theory? they might ask. We don't know. Is there a particle - a graviton - and if so, where is it? Dunno. Why is gravity such a weak force? No idea. We would really struggle.

But no, instead of targeting a topic we're unsure about, they target evolution by natural selection. A theory which we understand so well, and for which we have mountains of supporting evidence. We've studied the fossil record in great detail. We've studied ERVs, and DNA, and we've sequenced the genome. We've proven it to be true beyond any reasonable doubt, and yet it's the theory that gets doubted the most.

I don't see a denial of evolution as a failure to think critically. It's a theory for a reason and just like everyone says I shouldn't just accept things from the bible without critical thinking people shouldn't accept theories as fact. Micro evolution makes sense and is factual but the theory of evolution is not. Evolution is nothing more then a flawed theory. I've never seen a half monkey half man.... And where's that missing link again??? It can't be fact if it's not proven.

So if you believe in evolution tell us why.

Please show us the flaws of the theory of evolution.

You want to see hominid missing links? Here:

In science we don't prove, we formulate theories based on the preponderance of the evidence and then test their predictions. Evolution has so far tested positive.

I accept the theory of evolution as the best scientific explanation for the diversity and distribution of life on earth because it works and has never been falsified.

The problem is that the theory of evolution goes against stories in their book of myths. When one's personal beliefs are threatened some people can go to huge lengths to justify their beliefs.

What a nasty little piece of work you are.. and you witness soooo well for Jesus, too!

Slander, liable, false accusations, insults, falsehoods, made-up fantasies, and psychological projection, all rolled up into one hateful diatribe.

May God be with you too!

 

[Loudmouth]

Right. That's why the Discovery Institute Fellows are all living in poverty, while evolutionary biologists are driving Rolls Royces.

This made me giggle.

True, but I would point out that the majority of people who hold basically the same beliefs do not think that evolution threatens them. It's what motivates the minority to perform such mental gymnastics to support specific points of their dogma which interests me. And often amazes and horrifies me too.

Fundamentalists have basically two choices:

Admit their beliefs are conflicted with massive evidence, or, dig in with denial, confirmation bias and selective reasoning.

Not difficult to tell which path most take.

There is the choice that billions of christians have made through the years. When the creation shows that your interpretation of the Bible is wrong, you change your interpretation of the Bible. Problems tend to arise when people turn their own interpretations of the Bible into their religion.

I agree, but you will hear time and again that those people are not "true Christians". Not so much on this site since one Christian calling someone else not a "true Christian" will get that poster in a heap of trouble. But on sites where that talk is allowed I see it quite often, and in the real world too. You will see the accusation that only Christians in name only accept the theory of evolution, even though that would be most Christians in the world.

CHINO's?

Has anyone trademarked that?

 

[sfs]

I have found one thing interesting in my readings and that is the NT scholars and historians that were Christians when they started their career, and then they became either agnostic or atheists, after being involved in serious research on the NT after a period of time.

I don't know about NT scholars, but this certainly happens in seminaries -- lots of people find their faith shaken to pieces by what they learn. Some reassemble it in a new way and some lose it entirely.

So you approve of deliberate misrepresentation of science? I've go news for you. Deliberate misrepresentation is not criticism. It is dishonesty.

I've important-er news. Dishonesty is still not criminal behavior.
And then you have to prove both the claim & the intent of the person in court
to avoid an actual crime of libel or slander filed against you.

 

[DerelictJunction]

I've important-er new. Dishonesty is still not criminal behavior.

True. However, your God doesn't like it much and He doesn't require proof of intent, according the the legends I've read.

So, its okay to abuse the 9th commandment in God's name?

 

[SkyWriting]

True. However, your God doesn't like it much and He doesn't require proof of intent, according the the legends I've read.

Oh, he is very forgiving. Forum posters could learn a thing or two from God.
It's been said that he forgives all your sins...somewhere in that book.

Well all, but the unforgivable sin.

I stand corrected.
