Question

Does the theory of evolution accept that our universe are created?and why?

Answer 1

Evolution is change in inherted traits from one generation to the next by way of mechanisms like genetic drift, natural selection and mutation.

The origin of the Universe should be of another topic of discussion.

If you are thinking of the origin of life, there are many theories which actually go sync well with the evolution. Such as the RNA World Model and spontaneous micelle formation.

But evolution deals with the chemistry and biology of changing traits over generations. I think the origin of the universe requires information from multiple diciplines, not just evolution.

  

Answer 2

The theory of evolution says diddly squat about the origin of the universe.

Answer 3

The theory of evolution neither accepts *nor rejects* the idea that our universe was created.

Any more than the theory of atoms accepts nor rejects that our universe was created.

Any more than the Big Bang theory accepts nor rejects that our universe was created.

Any more than the germ theory of disease accepts nor rejects that our universe was created.

Do you see the pattern.

The theory of evolution is a scientific theory just like these and many other scientific theories.   Scientific theories *CANNOT* accept or reject articles of religious faith that involve participation of something supernatural, something that acts outside of physical laws ... because these are not subject to *physical evidence*.

Answer 4

The theory of evolution, contrary to popular belief, does not make any claims regarding the origin of the universe.  All it is concerned about is the origin of life on this planet.  

In fact, evolutionary theory does not address the issue of a creator at all.  The realm of science is one of observation and evidence.  Since there is no evidence for a creator, the science does not insert a creator.

Does this mean there is no creator?  No.  There just isn't any evidence for one.  

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

The theory of evolution describes how life changes over time.

It does not describe how life began (this is "Abiogenesis")

And it does not describe how the universe began (this is not even biology - it is part of Cosmology).

The best-accepted theory for how the universe began is the Big Bang. It describes the conditions that existed at the "time" the universe began. It does not describe any creator, but it does not deny that there might have been one; this is why the Catholic Church accepts the Big Bang.

No field or discipline of science can describe a supernatural creator. In fact, no field of science can attempt to describe the supernatural, or any events "outside" or "before" our universe at all.

This is because the supernatural is, by definition, beyond the laws of physics of our universe, and events outside the universe are also outside the laws of physics of our universe. Since science *only* concerns itself with those laws, and with phenomena effected by those laws, it cannot address such phenomena in any way.

Think of it this way:

- science uses the laws of physics to investigate things. For example, it might check the composition of a distant star by the wavelengths of light it emits, or the gravitational effects it has on nearby objects. Or it might check the structure of a protein molecule by its interactions with a magnetic field, or the way it interacts with a beam of X-rays. These things are *certain*, so we can interpret the results in a meaningful way.

But any supernatural being can arbitrarily decide not to obey those laws, or any other laws of physics. So we cannot determine anything about the nature of the being from the results of an experiment.

Therefore science cannot and does not take any Creator into account.

Answer 7

No.  The theory of evolution has no interest whatsoever in the start (if any) of the universe.  It's an explanation for the variety of lifeforms on the planet.  It's not even concerned with the origins of life, let alone those of the universe.
