Do you think most people know EVOLUTION is true, on a subconscious level?

since you didnt insult islam finally in a question, let me try to answer you as a friend.\ni dont think it is true, because if god created a monkey first, then monkey would have been mentioned in a good way, not in a bad way, you get my drift ?\nit would have been hollier if it was the first form of life.\ni think god created monkeys looking like us for a reason, i dont actually know it but maybe he wanted us to look at a brainless version of us and thank him for the brain and intelligence he gave us.

I think that any rational, reasonable individual when presented with the weight of our current knowledge and understanding regards the process of evolution would reasonably have to conclude that evolution is indeed at work on global biology.\n\nHowever, evolution is not just restricted to biological systems.  Consider our collective sense of humour.  Things which were considered hilarious in the very early part of the 20th century (silent movies) some of that humour is now so old to have lost any humourous content.  Why is that?  Because we've moved on and our tastes have evolved to more complex and alternative themes based on our modern life etc.\n\nConsider financial systems.  They too are evolving.  Capitalism is another test bed for the survival of the fitest.  There are winners and losers just as there are in biology.\n\nThere are many more examples.  The reduction of the variety and extinction of languages etc.\n\nThe validity of Darwinianism is only questioned (or rather refuted) by those of a religious nature who have been indoctrinated against the idea and are determined to continue to deny its validity irrespective of the weight of evidence presented for it.\n\nLogic does not play a part in their argument.  Faith and belief without understanding is all that is required.  In my opinion people who carry on about their lives in this bubble of ignorance are neither rational nor reasonable individuals.  They are brainwashed into submission and ignorance.  And sadly they have a tendency to fight long and hard to stay that way.  Most although not all are beyond help.\n\nOne final example of evolution in action:  It has been predicted that science will have eradicated religion within a couple centuries, as increases in the availability of education and the spread of democracy continue.  Given the negative impact that such religious stigmatisation and dogma is currently having on main stream scientific advancement, as far as I'm concerned, societal evolution resulting in the demise religion can't happen soon enough.

probably not, there's no such thing as evolution!\nthough that is a funny thing to think about!

We can never know how another species thinks, let alone another person.  We can only make assumptions based on similar brain activity (using MRIs, CT scans, and EEGs) among individuals.  For example, we can see different regions of the brain are more active during the REM stage of sleep, when people experience dreaming.  We can see the same brain regions active in other animals when they are sleeping, so we therefore come to the conclusion that they are dreaming. (transitive property, I think)

Evolution is only a theory.  If it is being taught as "fact" then they are doing you a disservice.

i dont think so. i know some people that beleive it is real because they found the people of their dreams but i dont think its for everyone.

Most people 'accept' the 'theory' of evolution as being the prevailing theory at the moment.  That does not say they believe in it 100%.  However, in a biting retort, I could go on to say that the answer to your question is probably the same longing to make order of the universe that drives us to believe in gods and spirits, the existence of whom has never been proven.

Some believers in ID believe the earth is around 6,000 years old. \n\nAre you trying to make a parallel that something can have a designer, but still continue to improve and change under the care of its designer or due to environmental factors? \n\nMyself, I believe in micro evolution. Species adapt within certain parameters because of natural (or not-so-natural) selection. A dog, for instance, can be like a chihuahua or a great dane, but it's still a dog.\n\nI need more convincing to believe in macro evolution. Species changing into other species, etc.

Hi yes I believe in evolution, its the only feasable explanation of how we developed into what we look and act like today. See the links below for more information.

Wow - yes of course people have thought of it, that's why you have so many choice in religions or the neo-popular near athiest ideologies associated with Godless science by way of the theory of Evolution, which provides absolutely NO answers and especially NO comfort for what you're looking for.  Not ragging on Science, but nobody I know curls up with test tubes and litmus paper when they go to bed at night, and if we evolved and continue to evolve based on ridiculous odds why bother to have any order in our societies at all?  But I'm biased, I favor intelligent design.  And I do believe in a benevolent creator...although how and what escapes me....\n\nHonestly? If you haven't ever tried religion, it might not be a bad idea to look into one that you can agree with, but fair warning, there are SCADS of goofy people therein.  Of course, there will be scads of goofy people anywhere life takes you.... \n\nIt just sounds like you need to believe in something or fall in love to get your mind off the downer side of things.

definitely not. the reason why some of these superstions seems to be true is because people believe on it. when people start to believe on something, they actually based their actions and act according to what they believe unconciously. and when something happened according to the superstition, they usually explain things the way they believe on it.

It takes more faith to believe in evolution.

Once people believe in something it's hard to "set it aside"  I am a scientist by nature so evoluton would be hard not to believe in for me.  I think in this case school is required to teach evolution, but you can teach creationism in church and at home.

Fine. I'll level with you.\n\nI believe evolution is possible. I think that certain organisms have developed over time to better their "fitness" (if you will). However, I am a Creationist and believe that God created the Earth and the creatures on it. Sorry if I find it hard to believe that a blob evolved into the life on the planet today.

YES.....\nIt is my unscientific opinion that people who love animals are more evolved that those who do not.

One huge misconception about evolution is that the sequence is fixed. The apes *are* evolving. They are changing in response to their environment. But that environment is different than the one our ancestors had 3-6 million years ago. So they won't change in the same way our ancestors did.

Evolution is a proven fact! There are more scientific evidence about Evolution and NONE about the Hebrew myth of creation! \nBiological evolution, simply put, is descent with modification. This definition encompasses small-scale evolution (changes in gene frequency in a population from one generation to the next) and large-scale evolution (the descent of different species from a common ancestor over many generations).\nDocumentation of ancestor-descendant relationships among organisms also comes from the fields of biogeography, taxonomy, anatomy, embryology and, most recently, genetics — particularly DNA analysis.\nThe fossil record remains first and foremost among the databases that document changes in past life on Earth. Fossils provide the dimension of time to the study of life. Some of the most basic observations about fossils and the rock record were made long before Darwin formulated his theory of “descent with modification.” The fossil record clearly shows changes in life through almost any sequence of sedimentary rock layers. Successive rock layers contain different groups or assemblages of fossil species.\n{We have now more than enough fossils to determine for sure that humans didn’t appear on this planet in the genetic form they are today!\nWE HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH EVIDENCE THAT THERE WAS AT LEAST ANOTHER SPECIES WHICH LIVED WITH US!! And I am talking about Neanderthal man who was not our ancestor but a different Human than us!!! (Did God experiment with human species?) We even have proof that at a certain point in time 3 human species shared the planet! (Homo sapiens, Homo Erectus, Homo Neanderthals)}\nOf course I want comment the stupid argument why all the apes didn’t evolve to humans. Ok I will comment!!\n(We share a recent common ancestor with chimpanzees and gorillas; we have many anatomical, genetic, biochemical, and even behavioral similarities with these African great apes. We are less similar to the Asian apes--orangutans and gibbons--and even less similar to monkeys, because we share common ancestors with these groups in the more distant past! \nBy the way why God decided to create 5 different species of primates and 280 different species of monkeys?)\nAs a conclusion Evolution is not a theory but a proven fact (In scientific terms, "theory" does not mean "guess" or "hunch" as it does in everyday usage. Scientific theories are explanations of natural phenomena built up logically from testable observations and hypotheses. Biological evolution is the best scientific explanation we have for the enormous range of observations about the living world.) Creation is a Hebrew Myth and unfortunately is not a fact but a myth!!!!
