As a Christian, I don't think evolutionists try to understand our side either. From what I've read from some people who have commented, they don't even try to know the story. (just btw God created the world in 7 days). We've all been taught evolution in schools right? And we seem to know the general knowledge that they give us and say is "correct".
You can see how evolution has happened (and still is). Creationism is a story, that of course everyone knows, it's not complicated. is cool if you wanna believe it, but it's based on nothing.
I can accually confirm this. I am Christian (who believes in evolution BTW) and my atheist brother is fascinate with religions, he steals my theology textbooks. Sometimes I think we are living proof that people of different beliefs CAN coexist.
It's a shame that some people don't know that it's general knowledge :o
Oh and ahaha Adam and eve cool story bro xD
Religion is our natural selection
I mean do atheists kill people who have a religion ?! I haven't heard something like that in the news do you ?
I hope that someday everybody realises that religion is a fairy story and learn about things like evolution
Well I agree there are whole wars because of religious beliefs but I'm pretty sure there are atheits who kill religious people. They might not kill them because they're religious but they kill them. People kill people for a lot of reasons. Religion is just one of them.
We did a whole thing in religious education about how "you have to have both god and evolution for the world to work"
Like no.
Bull Shit.
The whole idea was "Evolution explains minor changes, but who put the original animals there?"
The whole unit basically just frustrated me
Man, I feel bed for you. I honestly think that religion should not be involved in any way with education. If you want to learn about your religion, in should be done in a separate class.
Ugh, you know what's the worst? Being an atheist and being sent to a catholic school. In some way, I think it helped me because I used to think (when I was a kid) that religious people were really crazy and scary. Then I understood they're pretty normal, with exceptions. But then again, I almost started believing in hell during religion class

About God and such : maybe, just MAYBE, religion is the answer to "Why ?" and science the answer to "How ?". This is the "How", just above. To the question "Why did life come to existence in the first place ?", your search for answers relies on philosophy, metaphysics and religion ; but science is not something that may or may not be believed in. There are metric f*cktons of evidence of the "theory of evolution". (Plus, in science, "theory" does not mean "abstract stuff" ; please search for "scientific theory" on Wikipedia, and read at least the first sentence of the article.°
Orgyofevidence you have lived up to your name, in full. This comment is EXACTLY AND ENTIRELY everything I wanted to say. The the terminology and writing style you've used is extremely similar to that of a prof I had in a class at the University of Alberta. Extremely cool to read someone with such similar logic as my own!

This comparison with a University professor is really pleasing, as I am an aspiring teacher myself *blushes*
Yeah, I go to a catholic school and it is taught that evolution occurs "under the guidance of God". Personally, I am secular and don't really get involved with religious matters but a part of me wants to call bullshit.
It's the last common ancestor we share with primates. From memory it was about 7 million years ago (don't quote me on that). It is meant to be a very primitive human/monkey thing.
Adam and eve?
You mean the theory that some a-holes supposedly 6 thousand years ago came up with where god took some mud and a stick, rubbed that shit together and created a Golem, and when that golem was lonely, broke off a rib, rubbed it in his hands, blew on it like magic, and a sexy bitch popped out of that? That theory? k....
Also it is believed that god created the universe in a specified (I forgot how many) amount of days, but time didnt exist before the universe, and days are determined by the earths rotation around d its axis, which couldn't be measured before earth. Also, all evidence points to the universe being created in a quick explosion that sent what would become galaxies hurtling into space. That's why the universe is constantly expanding. Also,if god is all powerful, as many monotheistic religions state, why did it take him so long to create the universe? Why would anything require any effort by him? If something does take him a while to make, then he has finite power, and it thus technically the all powerful god that many religions describe him as. Thus the christian interpretation of gods creation of the universe is flawed, even by their own beliefs.
Same Guest here from the "Adam and eve?"
The only theory containing "God" that I can accept, is God came into existance, then immediately Spontaneously combusted, and exploded, thus that's how the big bang occurred, in that theory, Thanks God! lol
To ns's question: if god is all powerful, as many monotheistic religions state, why did it take him so long to create the universe? Because we believe in a God of order, relationship and love. If you think about it, it's very impersonal if this omnipotent God just snapped his fingers and said, "There! A world, live in it and worship me." No, we believe everything he made was made with care and constant thought to his greatest creation which is man. We are "fearfully (meaning with respect) and wonderfully made." And it took 6 literal days to create this world and on the seventh he rested not because of exhaustion or fatigue but because he sanctified that day to create a relationship with Adam and Eve. I'm not trying to put down evolution or prove it wrong because tbh, I really don't know enough about it (not because I've it pushed away). But I do know about Christianity and the God I claim to believe in and I wanted to clarify it like you've all clarified evolution.
We'll god is a simpler explanation and is so far the best

The "explanation" according to which all of Humanity is consanguineous, and that does not explain why there are different ADNs in every human being ? Yeah, let's talk about it.
"We didn't evolve from some primate", well if you wanna go waaaay back from that, we all come from frogs (or not frogs, but anfibians) because life forms started in water.
The Creationist-Christian argument consists solely of A.) Ridiculing evolution without any evidence, and B.) Plugging their ears when someone tries to help them understand.
Actually the whole point of faith is blindness. Faith basically means that you hope you're right, even though youve got nothing but a gut feeling to back your opinion.

To quote a great man: "Science adjusts its views based on what's observed. Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved."
Evolution makes some sense, and it sounds good on paper, but it doesn't work. Not all species can have a common ancestor. You can't have an animal whose decendants are dogs and fish and reptiles and humans and birds. They are all way too different. All dogs could've had a common ancestor, but there weren't any lizards in there. Cats probably all came from the same species, but that's just micro-evolution and some changes were made between each generation of cats. They were never any other animal but cats
LUCA (last universal common ancestor) was 3.5 billion years ago. EVERY SINGLE FREAKING LIVING THING DESCENDED FROM THAT. It was a single celled organism, and slowly, things evolved/developed/mutated. Therefore, we share this percentage of DNA
Fruit Fly - 36%
Chimpanzee - 98%
Zebra Fish - 85%
Bacteria - 7%
Mustard Grass - 15%
Round Worm - 21%
Yeah, it has taken 3.5 billion years to have such a diverse amount of species. But that's how it happened

Evolution FTW.
Please RESEARCH AND UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DISPROVE, PLEASE.
