Do you believe in evolution, OT?

[QUOTE="worlock77"]

[QUOTE="kingkong0124"] God created humans directly. Monkeys eventually evolved into the hominid species that predate human existence. playmynutz

Why would he create everything else on the planet via evolution, but not humans?

[QUOTE="kingkong0124"][QUOTE="VanDammFan"]

please explain how that works?

That doesn't address the question.

So essentially you're trying to embrace the facts while at the same time rejecting them because you want to cling to the superstition you were raised with.

[QUOTE="kingkong0124"] I never said I didn't believe in evolution. If evolution is simply defined as change over time, then yes, I agree with that, with humans being the minor exception. So essentially, I agree with 99.9999999% of what evolution says.kingkong0124

No, I'm putting stock in evidence that I can see with my own eyes. You're putting faith in ancient poetic tales written by sheep herders who thought a cold sore was a sign of God's anger.

And we haven't evolved into a new species because 30,000 years if too short a time span for such drastic changes to happen. We have, nonetheless, evolved recently. Take blonde hair, for example - that has only come about in the last few thousand years.

I think it is possible for us humans to evolve into a new stage, I'm really curious though as to what this new stage will be. I seriously doubt we humans have reached the peak of our evolution.Captain52

We will never reach our "peak" of evolution because there is not such peak. Evolution isn't some movement towards perfection or some end goal. It is simply gradual change over time. If a change turns out to be beneficial then the anumals with that particular change will be more likely (though not assured) to survive, reproduce and carry on that change. That's all evolution is.

I believe in the general premise of evolution.

The only thing for certain 100% is God. All that science talk, evolution this, psychology that, humanity this I will never rest my soul of 100% belief on anything humans have thought of. And God wasn't thought up of, it is what we feel and live. dance and music is a much more stranger phenomenon than evolution. You don't need to go to school or know about America to know God. Evolution is something that is taught which is why i discredit itplaymynutz

Show some observable evidence of God. Show me something that I can see with my own eyes.

Yes, god created us directly yet still managed to leave in all the evolutionary dead ends and vestigial appendages. Fvcking dumbshlt.

standard evolution thread. It starts off mostly rationally then Shadowsdemons and kingkong come in and show themselves to be idiots.

well in the old testament it says God created humans blah blah blah, and God created animals with their "own kind" whatever that means. I'm still wondering why I can't reproduce with monkeys if they are supposedly my great ancestors?playmynutz

The Bible also says:

1 Chronicles 16:30
tremble before him, all earth; yea, the world stands firm, never to be moved.

Psalms 93:1
The Lord reigns; he is robbed in majesty; the lord is robbed, he is girded with strength. Yea, the world is established; it shall never be moved.

Now tell me, do you believe the sun goes around the Earth? Or do you believe the above is wrong? You can't have it both ways.

Advanced mathematics must also be taught, and so far it hasn't achieved anything in our world.Crunchy_Nuts

Here's a few things advanced mathematics have brought us (just a few examples):

Even as a Christian, yes.

I don't think you understand how evolution works either. Evolution is just the constant mutations and changes a species goes through, and yes, there have been changes in the past 30000 years. For instance, until 5000 years ago, humans couldn't digest cow milk.

well what is the alternative to believe? a bunch of neanderthals just popped up on earth one day out of thin air?mingmao3046

Adam and Eve were created by God directly. They then procreated, forming the rest of humanity through their descendants and our genes have remained unchanged by evolution since that time period which means that we're all genetically similar to those first humans and to each other.
