Evolution or Creation?

Question

I wanted to get opinion on wut people believe in. Please tell me why also.

Answer 1

Throughout history it has been always obvious, for the majority of the people, who the great diversity of the life, the incredible perfection with which is equipped the alive organisms to survive and to multiply, and the amazing complexity of the vital structures, only can be work of the divine creation. However, time and time again they have existed thinking isolated that thought that it must have an alternative to the supernatural creation. In old Greece the notion existed of which the species were transformed into other species. This belief was put in a corner until in century XVIII it was retaken by progressive thinkers like Pierre de Maupertuis, ERASMUS Darwin and Jean Baptiste de Lamarck. In first half of century XIX, this idea became habitual in the intellectual circles, especially in those of geologic subjects, although always of vague form and without a clear vision of the mechanism existed that could originate these modifications. He was Charles Darwin (grandson of ERASMUS) who, urged by the publication of the discovery of Alfred Russel Wallace of their principle of the natural selection, finally settled down the theory of the evolution through the publication: The origin of the species by means of the natural selection in 1859, known generally like the origin the species. As of 1859 it was difficult to doubt that all the species cheers, including ours, had evolved of others. Modern molecular Biology causes that it is difficult to doubt that the origin of all the species can go back to a unique common predecessor, that all the well-known forms of life share the same genetic code and that is very improbable that they had been able to give in this way of independent form.

Answer 2

There is much misunderstanding on this topic.

Evolutionists and creationists have *exactly the same* evidence - which exists in the present. The difference is in how it is interpreted. Each side has different assumptions and different worldviews with which to interpret the evidence.

Each side is biased.

When it comes to origins, no idea about the past can be proved using the scientific method - which involves observe, repeat, test, etc. So all ideas about the past are held by faith.

The question is, which position (creation/evolution) is the best at explaining the observed evidence. Many people decide which to believe based on their religious views rather than the evidence. this applies as much, if not more, to atheists than creationists. Richard Dawkins pushes evolution because of his atheism.

Such scientists have redefined the word science to mean materialism. Namely the universe consists only of what we can see. They deny a priori the possibility of creation - which is not a scientific approach to take. It is a philosophical position, masquerading as science.

Look at this surprising honest admission from evolutionist Lewontin:

‘We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism.

It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.

The eminent Kant scholar Lewis Beck used to say that anyone who could believe in God could believe in anything. To appeal to an omnipotent deity is to allow that at any moment the regularities of nature may be ruptured, that Miracles may happen.

I used to believe in evolution - since that was what I was taught.

However I started to look at the evidence for myself, and underneath the evolutionary dogma, the evidence simply does not fit well with the evolutionary hypothesis.

In fact evolution is easy to refute. The evidence that refutes it is available for all - but hidden by evolutionists!

Answer 3

As regards to this question, we should all question what we have already been taught, I have found that the evolutionary stance has turned out to be mostly a pack of lies.

Answer 4

Evolution...more proof for it than there is for creation.

Answer 5

Neither....here's how I think life began on this planet...

It's ignorant of us to think that we're the only planet that's technology advanced in our vast universe....Archaeologists have discovered MANYcarvings in caves and there's also many extremely old writings recording extraterrestrial contact

with civilizations on our planet. There is even question of some passages in the bible possibly having to do with extraterrestrial contact....one such passage, (I don't remember the exact wording) had to do with giants "coming down" to mate with women....I believe it's in Genesis.  There are others, but I don't remember them all.

I think that other planets have, over time, came and explored our planet, found it habitable, and left some of their humans here to see how they'd survive.  How else do you explain just how different each nationality/race of people look?  The oriental came from one planet, the european from another, etc. etc.  We explored other planets, why isn't it possible that other planets haven't discovered ours?

Of course, this is just a THEORY...just as evolution AND creation are THEORIES...no one really knows, but maybe we will know once scientists finish the major space telescope (The E-ELT) they are working on (slated to be completed in 2018) when they will be able to start observing the first billion years of the Universe in greater detail than the Hubble Space Telescope ever could and would allow the study of the atmospheres of extrasolar planets.  We'll just have to wait & see.......

Answer 6

BOTH. I believe in the Big Bang Theory, the guy who first thought of the BBT hated his own idea because it is in essence creationist. Think about it, there was nothing and it blew up. All the evidence points to it and points to the fact it will all end again and collapse into nothing.

Answer 7

I would have to say evolution.  Creation just doesn't make much sense.

Answer 8

The two are not mutually exclusive. Both answer different questions and have different uses. A small, but vocal, group believes that evolution invalidates their beliefs. This is their problem, not ours.

Answer 9

Well, since something can not come from nothing...I believe that God created the earth and everything in it.

Everything has a beginning and an end.  Evolution ignores this principle.

And the fact that humans are born with an innate sense of right and wrong proves intelligent design.  You really think conscience evolved?  Natural selection simply can not create a sense of justice and conscience within a human being.  

CS Lewis put it this way... "Whenever you find a man who says he does not believe in a real Right and Wrong, you will find the same man going back on this a moment later.  He may break his promise to you, but if you try breaking one to him he will be complaining 'It's not fair' ".  Every human on earth knows what is truly right and truly wrong.  Murder is wrong.  Stealing is wrong.  Selfishness is abhorred in every culture that has ever existed.

Evolution and random chance?  I don't think so.

Answer 10

Ir is not a matter of belief, young lady, but of being convinced by the evidence.

Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains this fact and is supported by myriad and converging lines of evidence.

Creationism has not one scintilla of evidence in support of it.

Answer 11

What which people believe in?

I accept the findings of science. The evidence for evolution is overwhelming, and from a variety of sources and fields.

There's no evidence of creation, which is just a bunch of nonsense.

Answer 12

Creation... Evolution is full of holes. Look around you do you really think the birds and trees and everyother odd yet living thing just BAM appeared.  NO!!!:)

.

Answer 13

The creation of evolution.

Answer 14

Creation.
