Hello..Just because I do not believe in theory of evolution?

So therefore I imagine you are not dangerous to homosexuals (you support gay civil marriage for homosexuals), not dangerous to women (supporting their right to choose not to have their bodies enslaved), not dangerous to medical advances (supporting all medically supported stem-cell research) and not dangerous to educational achievement (supporting the teaching of evolution in science classes). If, in fact, you fail to fully support these on religious grounds, your Christianity is dangerous....to me personally, and to society at large.\n\nADDITION:\nYou do not know me. If you say you "love" me without knowing me, you cheapen both the definition of love and the experience of it. And you remain a danger to me because you refuse to allow me to marry, you enslave my sisters, and you promote ignorance over knowledge.\n\nSpare me your love and provide instead the right for people to live without your imposed religious dogmas.

I think it's so funny that so-called scholars believe in evolution.  I say let them believe, that just shows how stupid they are.  If evolution were true, I ask who caused it to start, I would still give God the credit.  If there was a "big bang", then it was God that caused it.

Just remember, evolution is an untested, unproven theory.  In fact, it cannot be tested or proven.  If one looks at the scientific method and what constitutes a theory, evolution barely qualifies, if at all.

You are looking at evolution incorrectly. It is not progressive and it has no direction. Your question is ill posed.

I can understand where your coming from but before you make any conclusions on evolution take a look at this website.  It has all you need to know about evolution vs. creationism.  http://www.talkorigins.org/.  The reason so many people believe in evolution is that every field of natural science supports it independently from geology, biology, genetics etc. and it makes a lot of sense once you sit down and really analyze the fact.  Unfortunately there is much misinformation out there so I urge you to read the information on the website and then make up you mind on evolution.  Personally I feel that evolution and religion can co-exist.  I feel that its a shame religious leaders exploit controversial topics in order to rally their base.  The true teachings of religion are of acceptance and forgiveness and any dogmatic interpretations of the bible (or any religious text) only serve to weaken message.

not this again...\n\n1)  Something that is called a Theory in science is NOT the same thing as the common parlance of the word theory.  The popular definition could more properly be called 'hypothesis' or even 'guess'.  A scientific theory is one which has withstood numerous experimental proofs, and has remained valid.  There is no higher level than Theory.  It's not as if someone will someday discover a new piece of evidence and the scientific community will suddenly say "Aha!!  This is TRUTH!!".  Gravity, Heliocentrism, Disease caused by micro-organisms and virii, Genetic inheritance through DNA, etc. are ALL theories.  Many of them actually have less evidence behind them than Evolution.\n\n2)  Evolution in the sense of organisms changing over time and adapting to their environments is an observed fact.  The Theory of Evolution (of which Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection is just one of many theories, which are NOT mutually exclusive) is the theory used to explain this observed fact.  Denying the existence of evolution is like denying the existence of gravity.  It's something that has been physically observed.  It happens.  The only question is WHY it happens.  Denying that evolution occurs makes you look more ignorant than Flat Earthers.\n\n3)  Intelligent Design is not a theory.  It doesn't explain anything.  There is no evidence that can be used to corroborate or disprove it.  It doesn't make any predictions about what kinds of patterns we would see, and is not useful as a tool for predicting what other evidence we might find.  Think of a murder scene.  You find two individuals, Mr. Cain and Mr. Abel.  Mr. Abel is dead.  Mr. Cain is alive.  These are facts.  You have a theory, that Mr. Cain killed Mr. Abel.  Mr. Abel's pooling blood is fresh, and there is a large dent in his forehead.  This leads you to conclude that he was killed recently, and possibly by being hit in the head with a blunt object.  Mr. Cain is holding a large rock covered in blood and hair.  This evidence provide support for your theory.  Further support comes when the hair colour and blood type on the rock match Mr. Abel's.  Your theory is upheld.  Your partner has a different 'theory' though.  God did it.  God acted through Cain and he was the one who guided the rock and made Cain smack Abel upside the head.  An interesting theological possibility perhaps, but not scientifically provable.  There is no physical evidence you can use that will disprove your partner's theory.  At every point, he can simply say 'that's the way God did it'.  It doesn't help solve the mystery.\n\nI have no idea why this idea that a theory is 'just a theory' and not proven has taken hold in the States.  It seems to be driven by a small sector of the population who believe that if any small statement in the bible is shown to be incorrect it somehow invalidates the underlying philosophy that it's much better to be nice to people than it is to kill them and covet their property.  They also seem uncomfortable with the idea that humans evolved from apes, but I'm really not sure why that is.

read this and diside for you self \nIt's understandable why some people think that humans evolved from ape-like creatures, but how is saying that complex life forms arose spontaneously from molecules floating around in the sea any more plausible than myth? There is no proven mechanism by which molecules can give rise to simple organisms that later give rise to more complex ones like dinosaurs, just because evolution can happen among very closely related species. A single mutation\nhas very little chance of benefiting an organism, so the chances that millions of organisms can have the right combination of mutations to adapt to their environment is pretty much none. If you try to write a working code for a computer program by wildy mashing buttons, you will not make any progress even if you had all the time in the world. Evolution is the default theory based on process of elimination, for lack of a better explanation without using religion. Evidence of evolution or religion doesn't always have to exclude the other.

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

I don't believe in evolution either but if you really get down to it and put the concept in another form there is still no way to prove it.lol.If we were evolved from apes then there would be no more.I mean come on who here resembles an ape?I mean not bein mean but some colored guys do but thats it that's unexplainable as well.Evolution is fake it is just sumthin that Darwin thought up because he was jealous of a man named GOD.

So, what's your problem?\n\nThe text you pasted supports evolutionary science.  Every year more discoveries by archaeologists and paleontologists add more content to support the principles of evolution.\n\nA "theory" is a proposition put to test by empirical study.  In science, very little is considered hard and fact TRUTH - today's truth is usually tomorrow's error.  Evolution is in this sense theoretical, but the evidence all supports it.  And the quote you delivered says that the writer strongly endorses evoltionary science.\n\nThere is NO evidence for alternative concepts, especially that mythology out of some "holy book."\n\nWork on your reading and critical understanding.  You're trying, but you aren't there yet.

Evolution is not wrong.  tyvm

No, I don't belive in it, but we are all Intitled to our own opinions.. If you compair the words of the bible to what modern scientists are coming up then the bible's right and there is no proof of scientests being right.. but yeah.. if your opinion is that evolution is true. .then I'm not trying to push anything at you...

Even though I dont subscribe to the whole theory of evolution, I do believe that we do evolve and grow and learn as the human race and become more enlightened over time also. However, we are not very enlightened right now, but might be in a 100 years or 1000 but I'll never see it. For me to toss out my faith and hope for peace in eternity is for me to have to accept that this life, for me, is as good as it gets. My life doesnt truely suck but it's not great.. and I know there are people far more worse off. How could they even survive if they believed "this is all there is... it will get better but you wont ever see it"\n\nThats not "feel good" its downright sad.

First of all, I don't think you would appreciate me insulting whatever beliefs you hold dear, but you commit sacrilege  out of total ignorance, so you are excused. \n\nSecond of all, it would help you a great deal if you understood the Catholic position on evolution, which I doubt you have a clue. http://www.catholic.com/library/Adam_Eve_and_Evolution.asp\n\nIt seems evolutionists banter on about how religion is opposed to science, and faith and reason are incompatable, blah, blah, blah. Nothing could be further from the truth. \n\n"Science can purify religion from error and superstition; religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes.  Each can draw the other into a wider world, a world in which both can flourish.... We need each other to be what we must be, what we are called to be." (-Pope John Paul II)

Darwin's theory of evolution hasn't been proven, in fact most evidence proves otherwise. A lot of scientists don't believe in evolution. There is no more evidence to support Darwin's theory of evolution today than there was when Darwin came up with the theory. I don't see how anyone could believe in evolution because there isn't enough evidence to support it. Science itself refutes Darwinism.\n\n• According to the theory of evolution, at some time in the distant past there was no life in the universe -- just elements and chemical compounds. Somehow, these chemicals combined and came to life.\n\n• However, scientists don't really know how life came to be. Even Stanley Miller, whose experiments are cited in most biology text books, says that the origin of life is still unknown. The idea that dead material can come to life all by itself is not consistent with scientific observation.\n\n• The leading mathematicians in the century met with some evolutionary biologists and confronted them with the fact that, according to mathematical statistics, the probabilities for a cell or a protein molecule coming into existence were nil. They even constructed a model on a large computer and tried to figure out the possibilities of such a cell ever happening. The result was zero possibility! - Wistar Institute\n\n• Professor Edwin Conklin observed, "The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the Unabridged Dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop."\n\n• Under normal circumstances, creatures give birth to the same kind of creatures. It is established scientific fact that like begets like. On rare instances, the DNA in an embryo is damaged, resulting in a mutant child that differs in some respect from its parent. Although a few mutations have been scientifically observed that are beneficial, most mutations produce inferior offspring. For the theory of evolution to be true, there must be a fantastic number of creative mutations that produce new kinds of offspring which are better suited for survival, and therefore are favored by natural selection.\n\n• Darwinists claim that the reptile-to-mammal evolution is well documented. But for reptiles to evolve into mammals at least some of these transformations must have happened: \n• Scales had to have mutated into hair. \n• Breasts had to have evolved from nothing. \n• Externally laid eggs had to evolve into soft-shelled eggs that were nourished by an umbilical cord and placenta in a womb. \n\n• It has never been observed in any laboratory that mutations can cause one species to turn into another. Despite this, evolutionists believe that given enough time, some animals will eventually evolve into other creatures. \n\n• Evolutionists claim that although we have not actually observed these things happening, that does not mean that they are impossible. They say it simply means they are extremely improbable. Evolutionists think the world has been around long enough for all these highly improbable things to happen.\n\n• Sir Fred Hoyle, of Cambridge University stated that statistically the chances of one cell evolving was the same as a tornado passing through a junkyard and giving you a fully functional Boeing 747.\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/arguments.shtml\n\n* Scientific evidence casts serious doubts on the theory of evolution, for example:\n\n* The Fossil Record (Updated 3 July, 2005)\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/fossil.htm\n\n* Living "Fossils"\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/living.htm\n\n* The Cambrian Explosion\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/explosion.htm\n\n* New T.Rex Discoveries (Updated 10 June, 2005)\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/t-rex.htm\n\n* "Missing Links"\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/misslinks.htm \n\n* The Big Bang\n http://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/bigbang.htm\n\n* Anthropic Principle

Well, I think so.  I'm a biologist who accepts the fact that evolution occurred, but I don't use that to try to prove that God doesn't exist.  I'm also a born-again Christian who doesn't doubt a single word in the Bible.  Evolution is nothing.  I frankly don't see what the big deal about it is.  The real enemy is Materialism- those pseudoscientists who think the physical universe is all that exists.  That's not the same thing as evolultion.  One can still believe in God and simply think evolution was a tool He used at times.  But you can't be a Materialist and still believe in God at all.  People should understand that they're disputing about a worldview, not about facts.

whats sad to me is the standard sheeple line of there is no proof of evolution,\n\ni could accept there is not enough evidence to support this in my mind,\n\nthe sheeple mentality is most apparent in the discussion regarding evolution, it shakes out the sheeple,\n\nit clearly separates the men from the sheeple
