why do religious people Hate Evolution?

i have not read all the religious texts so dont say go read..i work and study from 6 am to 10 pm so :(..i mean does it say in the the books that it is wrong?and if its not mentoned..then alot of things are not there so why deny evolution? it it really a BAD thing?

so what that you evolved? you are still an animal...you kiss others butt while having sex like animals..humans are there that drink piss and poo and alot of other things like animals ..humans kill for something they want..most of the things are still like animals...i'm sure 90% of the ppl who deny it are going by group think ..i know its there opinion and respect that and also i dont 100% agree with evolution but dont bash or deny it...so dont hate or spam this topic..just say why do you deny it so Roughly and toughly..if its not there..say"hey its your opinion.." dont go "im not a monkey you ^*)^#)^$"

6am to 10pm? What are you, a slave?SquishyPumpkins

scholl is 8 till 3 then work 4-8 i get home at 9..but enough about me..lets talk about the topic :P

The majority of religious people, or at least the rational ones, realise that evolution is not a challenge to religion. all it does is show that there is no literal truth in Genesis. Pope Pius XII (I think that's right, I'm thinking of the guy who was pope after the second world war) officially declared that catholicism would accept evolution.

Fundamentalists hate evolution, because it shows that the bible is not 100% literally true. These people are morons. Matthew quotes a prophet during the birth narratives that doesn't exist, so how can it be literally true?

Cause it contradicts creationism.bebopoutlaw3gun

Pst...it doesn't.

I'm religious. I don't hate evolution. I could equally ask why Athiests believe all religious people are closed minded?rimnet00

most of them are, they get offended when they are corrected about something in the bible. such as decendents of adam and eve.

Why Do Religious People Hate Evolution?kirk4ever

Well, not all of them hate it. The ones who hate it or dislike it do so because it challenges or even disproves their religious beliefs. Some people don't care about facts and such...only what they want to believe.

I remember reading about this scientist who believed in some scientific theory for many years. When he was finally proven wrong at some conference by a younger scientist, he stood up and said, "I've been wrong all these years". He admitted he was wrong.

This is the kind of mindset I like to have. All I care about is what is real, regardless of if it's convenient for me or not.

Mr_Mohawk

And you know for a fact that all religious take genesis literally? Seems this topic is doing what religious are accused of in this thread.

And actually taking it literally there is still no contradiction.

You have read genesis 2, havn't you? Where all the animals are created by God to find a helper for Adam? How is that not contradicted by evolution?

No thanks. If you actually think about it, you'll get what I'm saying and I really don't care enough about this topic to elaborate.

Can you prove that God was not the guiding force behind the evolution? No. So there is no problem inbelieving both.

What would make your deduce I am closed minded for retorically refuting your conjecture?

I think it's they believe evolutionism takes power away from their God. I think it doesn't.

But if you analyse the evolution of some species, like the humans, there are some mistakes no one explains, which some people take advantage of when disbelieving evolution.

I personally believe more in the Ancient Astronaut theory, than the normal tales of the evolution of man. But who am i to say that's right, eh? ;)

Look, if you are sensible there is obviously no conflict. There is only conflict if you take it literally, i.e. word for word.

i will respect the opinions of others,

PS. source engine was incredibly limited the day it came out, i got sick of load times in between maps. why couldn't of half-life 2 just streamed everything in as you went foward threw the single player campaign, crysis has sandbox gameplay.

farcry had much biggermaps then half-life 2 did, Crysis is photo realistic, extremely huge and they even give you a map maker with it. So CryEngine's lighting, shadows, technology>Source.

But that is not what the topic is about. It's a generalization....and an incorrect one at that.

*sigh* I was not referring to the guy I was talking with.....and it had nothing to do with genesis. I was talking about the original posts implications.

Nothing confusing about it...and I'm not dividing evolution up. Evolution does not disprove God. Simple as that.:|

correct me if i am wrong but the meaning to Conjecture is linked to mathematics on wikipedia. and i think you spelled retorical wrong. is it not rhetorical?

I'm not sure what you're talking about here. You directly quoted Mr. Mohawk, and instead of actually responding to what he said, you deflected it and asked another irrelevant question.

First time seeing a typo? and yes, conjecture is still being used correctly. I'm sorry to have used big words.

Conjecture
1.the formation or expression of an opinion or theory without sufficient evidence for proof. 2.an opinion or theory so formed or expressed; guess; speculation. 3.Obsolete. the interpretation of signs or omens. -verb (used with object) 4.to conclude or suppose from grounds or evidence insufficient to ensure reliability. -verb (used without object) 5.to form conjectures.

I suggest using a dictionary next time you need to look up a word, instead of an encyclopedia.

I was talking about the topic with Mohawk. He seemed to understand that. Just because I quoted the person I was TALKING WITH does not me I was referring to something he said.:roll:

I responded to your question. That would make your quest completely irrelevant. Why ask it then?:|

Why should I explain that. It stands as what it is. Why do you feel the need to believe that religious people can't believe in both?

I was talking about the topic with Mohawk. He seemed to understand that. Just because I quoted the person I was TALKING WITH does not me I was referring to something he said.:roll:LJSEXAY

Well, the thread topic is why do religious people hate evolution but that's not what you were responding to. Mohawk said a literal interpretation of Genesis is contradictory with evolution, then you said something like, "What makes you think all religious people believe in it literally?" So you were responding to what he said.

I responded to your question. That would make your quest completely irrelevant. Why ask it then?LJSEXAY

No, you did not respond to my question. I never said anything about evolution disproving the existence of God. Once again, you deflected the question with something that had nothing to do with it. I have no quest...not sure what you're talking about there.

Why should I explain that? It stands as what it is.LJSEXAY

:lol:

Why do you feel the need to believe that religious people can't believe in both?

LJSEXAY

Because one cannot believe that the earth and life was created in six days but evolved over billions of years. This is like asking why can't a woman be half pregnant. To clear things up, I never said that one cannot believe in evolution and God. All I'm asking is how can one literally believe in Genesis and believe evolution.

#1. I suggest you follow the course of the conversation because you have clearly become confused as to the discussion.

#2. The initial question wasn't the question about evolution. See number one again.

#3. Yes and? The statement I made was very clear. Again see number one.

#4. You are aware that the religious know the difference between man's six days and God's six days. They really aren't the same thing. Perhaps one should first familiarize themselves with what is believed before making inaccurate statements and arguing them as fact.;)

I know what the topic is about. You've been unable to answer my questions coherently. The only valid point you've made is number 4. Finally you attempt to answer my question. Since you say that "God's six days" are different, then they are not literally six days, which shows that you do not literally believe in the events of Genesis. Thanks for finally answering the question, but what took you so long? 8)
