Adam and Eve or Evolution? (2 Viewers)

[SashatheMan]

Theres a few who beleive it was. I read about them in science. They believe it was the left nostril of a snake the world came out of then the snake exploded into the sun. I think it was a big snake.............

where did the snake come from?

 

[transcendent]

an even bigger SNAKE! yeah!

 

[davin]

where did the snake come from?

it had been on a plane

 

[Serius]

We may have been created, but not by some deadbeat Christian God. I like the idea that we are the spawn of some kick-arse awesome Space Faring Civilisation that desingned us to be some sort of weapon in their galactic war. Or something....

*Its more exciting*

I like that one!

Familiar with the concept 2, like half the Scifi books i read talk about it, they did a good show of it in star trek aswell.

IT WAS THE MARTIANS!!!!

if not i reckon we will have to "seed the galaxy" so to speak and spread the lov... life

i believe creationism for several reasons
where r tranistional forms???
i got several other beefs with problem

 

[Red-Ink-Frenzy]

Totally evolution over creationism - the earth being created in six days is the biggest load of crap I've ever heard.

It's funny because I go to a Christian school and when we were talking about oil in Chemistry, my teacher was all 'The universe is only 15000 years old and oil doesn't take millions of years to form, but I have to tell you it does because of the syllabus'. I exchanged a look with my friend and coughed out quietly 'bullshit'.

Ironically, my father is a geology major, so he got all riled up when I told him about it.

And to all the bible-bashers out there, god created animals before humans - so evolution could have occurred and the bible expresses 'how-we-came-to-be' in terms that even the simpletons who thought the earth was flat could understand.

Oh, yeah. The bible doesn't mention the dinosaurs either. Try proving they never existed.

And if you go 'oh, Genesis is just a metaphor', then what else in that book is a metaphor?

 

[CSI: CRIMES ™]

The bible never cared about dinosaurs, they're just bones to us.

i believe in both, adam and eve was monkeys before they 'evolved' to humans

 

[Captain Gh3y]

where r tranistional forms???

Well the fossil record we do have is incomplete but is positive evidence towards evolution

There isn't any at all for creationism

True, but you never know - evolution could be wrong as well. There could be some new theory which can out prove both theories.

 

[Captain Gh3y]

Evolution can be shown to be wrong, for example by finding a fossilized human alongside a dinosaur

Creationism can't really

 

[KFunk]

It is firmly established that evolution accounts for some of the diversity we see around us - antiobiotic resistance in bacteria is a classic and relatively airtight example. While we can't claim with absolute certainty (as is generally the case in good science) that evolutionary theory accounts for all, or the vast majority, of the diversity in our biological environment, evolution nonetheless comes out as a pretty damn strong theory. Note further that evolutionary processes are to be expected mathematically given the existence of genetically inheritable traits and variations in biological fitness. The successful organisms survive more easily, breed, and pass on their characteristics to the next generation. Simple.

Whether or not this process can account for all diversity it needs to be conceeded that a) evolution, if only on a minor scale, occurs and b) evolution accounts for at least some of the diversity we observe.

 

[pattii]

i belive in evolution, i like the fact we are complex organisms, that evolved from practically nothing =]

Has anyone ever thought about how 'god' says that he made man in his image, and pick some rib to make the woman or something... Humankind is flawed, makes you wonder if the 'god' that everyone belives in, is flawed too..=\

 

[kchap42]

I believe that we are mammals who have evolved from natural selection into the way that we live today. Personally I believe science to be a far more reliable source than religion. But that could have a lot to do with my upbringing, mainly because I'm not religous and I have always had a interest in science.

YEP im going with this
This is how i've always thought.

FFS, and to everyone who thinks this:

HUMANS DID NOT EVOLVE FROM 'MONKEYS'.

Humans and other primates diverged from a common primate-like mammalian ancestor. NOT A FUCKING MONKEY. GET IT RIGHT.

Also lol you wouldn't be here if it weren't for dinosaurs and other reptiles that evolved into mammals (Pelycosaurs and Cynodonts, anyone?).

Dude. Ur still a COMPLEX ORGANISM. Cyanobacteria/bacteria isn't nothin'- lol.

Wtf.

 

[Captain Gh3y]

I think only Islam provides an account of creation that makes sense.

Fire away, I'll be more than happy to debunk each and every one of those 'reasons' and 'beefs'.

Also, a transitional form is kind of hard to explain in simple terms, but fossil species such as Miohippus (ancestral to the horse) and Ambulocetus (ancestral to whales) are examples of transitional fossils - i.e. moving from an otter-like land mammal to a fully aquatic one in the whale's case.

In the case of Archaeopteryx, it's a sort of parallel transitory form in that it shows the delineation from dinosaurs to birds, but no true birds are related to it.

 

[Captain Gh3y]

Every time you find a new transitionary form it just creates 2 new gaps that you don't have one for, making your theory all the more wrong

only Allah could have created the world as it is

 

[scarybunny]

The thing about science is that you tend to go with the theory which has the most evidence behind it. The current theory being evolution. IF another theory comes along, good luck to it, but we can already see that the world was not created as it is. Therefore creationism is wrong, or God decided to put dinosaur skeletons in the ground for shits and giggles.

 

[Captain Gh3y]

Well it's completely internally consistent at least

The world is 6000 years old, everything that we perceive to be older was created that way
