Christians: Do you believe that caterpillars turn into butterflies?

Question

If so, why dont you believe in evolution?

(yes i know the process is different and i know caterpillar into butterfly is nothing like evolution)

BUT its the same sort of concept. One thing turning into something else? That is the basics of evolution?

Answer 1

If you know it's nothing like evolution, why ask the question?  It's not the same process at all.  This is a very poor argument for evolution.

Answer 2

Actually, its not the same concept at all. If you have ever studied biology at a senior high school level, you would understand that the genetic structure of the caterpillar does not change when it changes into a butterfly. It is not evolving into something else, it is simply growing. Much like you look different now than you did when you were a baby. Or how tadpoles grow into frogs. Thats not evolution at all. Its a creature following its genetically predispositioned pattern of growth. The information which makes it what it is has not altered.

And despite you saying they are the same concept, no they are not. Its like saying apple juice tastes like duck l'orange.

One thing turning into someting else it not the basis of evolution. The theory of evolution originally focused more on the structural similarity of creatures, and the fact that in the uterus, they begin by looking very similar (no way, a cluster of cells looks like a cluster of cells?)  

Answer 3

That is call metamorphosis not evolution. We do believe in evolution but not on the theory of Darwin evolution.

Answer 4

I believe in adaptation. A species adapting to it's environment because of temperature and food sources.But nothing has ever evolved from one species to another. I just don't understand why people are so hard pressed to believe that we all have a single ancestor and that we are an adaptation, or mutation , from another species.I would much rather believe that we were created with a reason and purpose.

Answer 5

They're gonna keep holding onto their so-called "God", no matter what.

If that's how they were brought up to think, they'll spend the rest of their life putting every ounce of their brainpower to continue believing.

It's actually pretty sad how they can't let rational thought even enter their mind for a second.

Answer 6

At least, we can see caterpillars become into butterflies, but if you observe monkeys, they wont turn into humans. -_-
