How does evolution disprove the existence of God?

I dont get this. If God exists then He created the laws of science and nature, so it's only logical to believe that He would have them applied from the beginning of the chain.

Am I missing something about evolution or what?

my anthropology teacher stresses this soo much EVOLUTION DOSN'T ATTEMPT TO DISPROVE GOD

EDIT : but what it does do is show that life on earth is not very divine, its actually very random, mutations happen in species and they change, some mutations are negitive ( this isn't divine or well planned like ppl say gods work is) i just took my anthro midterm today, i'm blown out right now so sorrry thats all im gonna say

It doesn't. All it does is prove that, surprisingly enough, a book from 2000-odd years ago did not have a particularly good grasp of the sciences.

it disproves the claim that humanity was made in god's image... if we have evolved or are evolving, then obvious the claim comes under fireAncientNecro

I'll believe evolution when it become more than a "theory" (AKA a guess).gobo212

Out of curiosity, do you believe that atoms exist?

The Theory of Evolution isn't a guess. You fail.

A guess in scientific terms is a hypothesis. Theory is more than that. It is an idea that can be backed up with evidence. Just not to the most absolute degree as with a law.ThePlothole

I don't care if it was a joke. I despise anyone who misuses the terms.

Anyways.... I'm religious (Jewish), but I don't believe in a literal interpretation of biblical event. I basically see them as stories designed to convey a message. And I do recognize Evolution.

Quran actually did. Nothing in it contradicts science..Stranger_4

According to modern interpretations, yes, interpretations which are updated every time new information comes out that must be "found" to have been prophesized in the Qur'an. The fact that the Qur'an has never once been used to predict scientific discoveries before they are actually made makes the idea rather questionable that these things are in fact actually found in the book.

And again what are you talking about having being found? I mean the wordings of the quran have always been the same, like the quran said that mountains are like pegs and only later has it been discovered by science.

Some people will try to "force and just fit in" some quranic verses into science but who cares? Let them do that and as long as those verses arent contradicting, who cares!

And really if a man in the 7th century is writing that book all by himself then how on earth does he not go wrong at all?

What? Who told you that the interpretations are "updated". What are you talking about?:?
