Why do Christians Scowl at Evolution?

Post Reply New Topic

None of those stupid videos are fact and there is one fact that I know - God created the earth the way he wanted to. Just because this or that evolved doesn't mean everything did or will. Humans were created from the dust of the earth with a breath from God and that is FACT. Animals were created by God as well and most have become extinct over time and changed from cross-mating and that is a FACT. Scientists have changed their views consistently and tried to call it fact and that too is FACT. So to tell me I'm wrong just proves how ignorant you all are and I can't wait till in the end you bow to my God and confess you were wrong about everything you believed in. You will.

Well...youve admitted that some organisms have evolved. And you've admitted that the planet has been around long enough for some organisms to become extinct, and be fossilized ( ie more than 6000 years). So you're not a true young-earth-creationist. Youve already abandoned Biblical literalism. So whats the problem? Why not just admit to believing in evolution?

I've gotta tell you - if all animals have been in existence since the beginning of the earth, and have been going extinct since then, then we are headed for an ecological catastrophe.
And creationism is a fact? What evidence do you have for that, other than the Bible?

You sound like you'd fit in nicely with the Westboro Baptist Church.

It is clear it would be a waste of time discussing evolution with you. Your comments indicate you are totally clueless on the issue and in denial about the FACTS. See you in hell preacher.

I prefer to believe humanity evolved from Mer-people, not apes.

I dont think that Jesus would have been so arrogant, to think of an monkey as stupid.

It is quite amusing to think that if Jesus even existed that he had approximately 2% Neanderthal DNA. Analysis of human DNA has shown the path of the early hominids from Africa over tens of thousands of years and how they evolved and split into Neanderthals and other hominids as they progressed to colonise the planet. Humans outside of Africa contain DNA from cross-breeding with Neanderthals, Denisovans and another hominid who we subsequently pushed to extinction. This relatively new and exciting field of study, analysing and comparing the DNA of today's living organisms is gradually casting a detailed light onto the evolutionary history of all plants and animals (including humans) on the planet today.

If the other poster was upset that humans have evolved from an ape like ancestor, he's likely to be outraged that (we) mammals owe our evolutionary existence to viruses! In other words, viruses aren't just something that makes organisms ill, they are a major driving force in evolution. We owe our existence (in part) to viruses and our DNA is full of virus DNA sequences that are essential to our very existence.

Holy cow! Now that is some funny stuff right there. I laughed so hard I cried.

Acutally, social apes show intelligence that is comparable to a three year old human. The science on ape intelligence is a rather insteresting, and not stupid one, simply because it shows us our own development, the development of intelligence, and the important steps to us being the ones that we are now.

Imagination as example is a major key to it, because it can give you the motivation to work on something, that yet does not even exist. My cat is smart for a cat, so he is able to memorize happenings, that occured without purpose, and redo them with purpose. As well that he sometimes simply tries and plays with something to see what actually can happen and if some of that happenings are to his liking.

But none of that is imagination, its only memorization and being aware of his physical abilities. While when it comes to Orang Utans as examples, (whose names given by the origin human neighbor does not involve stupid in any way but simply means "humankind, living in the forest" = the people naming them did not have any problems to see these as some sort of relatives of them) are actually capable of planning and imaginating processes and things, which is a major step to the intelligence we nowadays own. Building a fishspear, might not sound a very high task, but actually it means that the Orang Utang thinks of creating an yet non existing item, and manipulating other items to become his way, depart them into different ingrediences he needs, and what they need to be like to be of use to him = a tree part, suitable to form a straight stick out of it, a stone that is suitable to be manipulated into a hacking tool to form the chosen stick into an spear.

And about our great cultural difference... raise some kids without cultural inheritance on an island, and they wont develop much else lifestyle then an gorilla clan. We often have the wrong claim and proudness of thinking that our cultural science is all an achievement of ourselves. When in reality only few of us, only achieved even a small step of our cultural development. And most of us are only copying and learning, what the ones before us, and the ones that actually live with us, achieved. If any of us started living on an empty island at the end of our lives, averagely we would have invented spears, stonetools and similar stuff. Which is not much different from Orang Utans or Gorillas. Our civilization is not based on us having a so much higher intelligence, but a so much higher possibility of communication and mechanical memorization. So our kids can easily learn from us our achieved knowledge and so can focus and concentrate on achieving on their own new knowledge, add it to the one we inherited, and inherit this to their kids again. But absolutely noone of us, even Einstein and other geniuses, would have been able to achieve knowledge about electricity or orchestral music, in only one life time on his own. ^^

Could you please provide some evidence?


Changing your views when it is shown that you are wrong is a good thing.


That doesn't follow logically.

You are right, you can't wait that long. You will cease to exist before that happens, because your God does not exist.

Is that a reference to the aquatic ape theory?

LOL even with physical evidence where science provides and where the bible does not you still dont accept fact! *yawn* We came from dirt wheres the proof? Since when did dirt have DNA? Your relying on a man made concept 2000 years ago when at a time little of the world was explored let alone no technology and lack of science providing actual physical evidence? A time when people made tall tails to explain what could not be explained?You go by a belief and not knowing science isnt really based on a belief science is based on making discoveries and gathering data on what we now know. I would rather know than believe. We have physical proof not only in the fossil record but also in our DNA. Your proof is saying well uh the bible tells me so so its right! A book from a belief with limited knowledge and fairy tails and no physical proof nor data to back it up. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMUDXO4xkW8[/youtube] http://godisimaginary.com/

This is one of the most un-Christian things I have seen recently. It seems you are uneducated about the teachings of your own savior. Your judgmental B.S. would have been appalling to the one you claim to follow.

That's the thing though - the religious right loves thinking other people are going to hell, even if they admit it or not.

Nothing in the bible says the earth is only 6,000 years old. For me to say I believe in old earth creation does not mean I abandon anything the bible says. A monk philosopher aged the world as 6,000 years old, not the bible. The problem is they put that timeline in the bible to make it look biblical.

God loves hellfire preachers and the reason being - Not many will do it. Jesus spoke of hell many times and at least some of us need to preach the consequences for ignorance and bad behavior. Not to mention lack of love for God.
