Evolution is a fact, but...

...some people prefer to listen to the Bible over physical evidence. Many things in the Book of Genesis, specifically, are just myth/legends and are not necessarily true. Here's some examples: World created in 7 days-Geological evidence and observing stellar evolution shows that the Sun took millions of years to form from primordial hydrogen clouds, the Earth and planets took a few million years more to form from leftover dust and gas, and life originated a few million years after that. All modern lifeforms made with no evolution involved-Clearly not. It would've taken a series of accidents on a molecular scale, over millions of years, to create the first self-replicating milecule of RNA or DNA. It took billions of years of cells forming, DNA mutating, and constantly changing environments for modern organisms to appear. Also, the fossil record shows a clear change over time from older organism to current organism. Great Flood-Simply put, there's not enough water on Earth. Even if a boatload of comets came down and deliveted extra water, it wouldn't be able to leave the planet, and the Great Flood would've lasted forever. However, the rest of the Bible outside the Book of Genesis is plausible. I'm not proving or disproving anything beyond the Book of Genesis. Creationists, please consider all the evidence supporting evolution and Earth's origins before you go on rants about Genesis. [spoiler]And no, I'm not an Atheist. I'm a very devout Christian, but I tend to agree with science, considering that it uses multiple sources (experiments, fossil record, observations, etc.) to support its theories, and not just one book.[/spoiler]

  • You're the kind of theist I can easily agree with. You can accept that there are many flaws in the bible, and that there is evidence of evolution.

  • Creationists simply substitute this reality for a simpler, more magical, supposedly better one. In their heads, of course.

    • First, your not a true Christian unless you believe the whole bible Second, if you believe in God, you believe he can do miracles (7 day creation, Flood and draining of water)

        [spoiler]Oh, a new thread. Because of me, aw, you shouldn't have.[/spoiler] If you were to estimate how much time it took humanity to come into being from the same ancestors between humans and monkeys, how long would it take for you to soon to distinguish them as a new species? I don't just walk up to an orangutan and say, "That's one dumb, hairy human who has no capabilities of speaking. Let me go help and 'teach this man to fish.'" Accordingly, evolution requires time for every organism to develop, but what spawns the necessity for an instant but minuet, biological change that we all categorize as macro-evolution? In the OP, it explained how an insect scenario required the environmental hazards that were present to the ancestors to always be present in order to prevent the evidently cyclical process of micro-evolution from reversing. Humans are not able to live for hundreds of years; so the only thing we can do to attempt to prove evolution true through our scientific processes is to observe micro-evolution in action and point out that those results are substantiated evidence. However, the process is evidently cyclical. It is said by many evolutionists that the earth created a sundry array of gases to cool the earth so to make it prolific for bearing life. Scientifically, we know that organic and inorganic material alone can't have any reaction with each other in order to spawn or reproduce biological material of any kind. Then how did life begin, or better yet, where on Earth did an amoeba come from? Let's skip that question since all evolutionists appear to want to do is skip that fact. Alright, an amoeba is on Earth, somehow. Now, in order to either help stabilize the environment or the biological specimen itself, it must evolve. How? By going through a process that we call micro-evolution. Over millions to billions of years, that amoeba will genetically figure out to grow a limb. Then that second amoeba, who we know not where it came from, decides to help, or at least decides to either not exist and all biologically life as we know it was a hermaphrodite (possessing both sexes) in the first place, reproduces. This process repeatedly occurs over millions to billions of years in order for life to become stable on Earth. Correct? Question: If life was already at a state of environmental equilibrium, why would it need to evolve in the first place? To rid itself of mutations? Some evolutionists say that it is by this process micro-evolution drives macro-evolution on a profound scale, but by the dogma of "Natural Selection," that which is mutated is declined by its kind for procreation. Not to be at all offensive or conclusive on the welfare state of human choice, but I wish to ask every person individually: How many of you are willing to "fall in love" with a retarded human being? They are human and are given as much right as the next, but the lucky love life often bestowed upon such a person is rare and discouraged. It might by which the process of evolution uses to promote the biology of humans to a higher state up the evolutionary chain, which is strangely determined by nothing that evolutionists can explain. Environment? No. Mutations? We all know that it is by "Natural Selection" that we as a biological organisms "evolve" very slowly quench mutations one genetic step at a time. Then what? What in this bloody world could have ever jump started our existence in the first place? ...and I haven't even mentioned the Bible yet. Do intend to some explanation as to why I would favor the Bible instead of the Qur'an, the Book of Mormon, the Apocrypha, or the Jewish "holy" scriptures (depending on the next reply). ...and yes, depending where you refer to, I take Genesis quite literally except only in a few locations.[spoiler]...and why would you conform to such a hybrid of philosophies. That is not even Christian.[/spoiler]
