Why Do so Many of you Believe In Evolution

well if you say God made us,that puts some responsibility on our part,towards our creator and our fellow creatures

and even then you have a struggle,why are we here?

i think it is to learn to love and care for each other

the people who believe on Darwin theory, denied the existence of Adam and Eve

First, you make a decision of faith...faith in truth or faith in a lie.

Then, over time, you collect facts to comfort and solidify your faith...and reject or reinterpret the ones that don't.

After a while, you come to believe that it is this collection of facts that dictates your faith and not the other way around.

Finally, you become blind to your bias altogether, and everything that fails to fit into your worldview becomes a threat to the mental construct upon which your entire reality is built...you find yourself emotionally and passionately protecting your belief system so that you can maintain mental order and stability that you have built up for yourself.

Soon you begin to enlist others in this task, and mock and ostricize those who fail to accept your beliefs. The collective group becomes an intellectual inbred hive...and all facts that are collected, all data, is carefully filtered against the group dogma, so that the very data itself becomes tainted in time. Those that dare challenge this paradigm soon find themselves rejected and marginalized by the rest of the group, so that all information eventually is cleansed from any independent thought or idea.

When this process has reached a critical tipping point, you achieve universal hegemony of thought. At this point, there is only one really truthful answer as to why you believe what you believe.

You believe it, because they said so.

Evolution is the answer to how and not the answer to why. It is proven that it happens, I'm not convinced we stemmed only from monkeys but i am sure that all life formed from micro biological shit in the sea...

the dogma is forced inside the brains of school children.
school children are at a state of believing anything they read write or what their teacher tells them.

Next time, be in peace and smoke some weed







Jah Rastafari

Yeah,

and I swear You evolved from shit,

because thats what you are saying: shit

See

the proof is in the shit.

If they say humans evolved and say from shit. that means that they started off speaking shit and their whole theory is shit talk about shit that evolved.

That means that this whole evolution theory is based opn shit and sprang up from shit and is shit so to say.

You got made by your mother and father who had sex and your father had sperm to give to your mother who gave birth to you.

While your mother was pregnant with you she ate food and you absorbed some of that food and the rest that is not liked your moms shited out in the toilet as SHIT which got flushed down away to the drain.

You are not shit, but a person who is living so, your mom gave you a name and let you live human.

If you were shit, you would have been flushed down the toilet.

So Evolution is Shit talk built on Shit and based on shit.
The fact is Shit

Ah fuck off and go and find a talking snake.

Well OP, you started out having a decent discussion but then you went stupid.

Good job, bro.

I believe in rEvolution.

who said anything about a talking snake?

there is no proof of anything ever evolving into anything else. zero, zip, nada.

That said, if humans evolved from apes or whatever, aren't we supposed to be a higher species that they?

they don't need shoes, they don't need ladders, and they don't need coats in cold weather.

perhaps we should evolve into apes and we won't need all those things.

so you weren't really interested in a legitimate answer, just looking for an opportunity to insult evolutionists.

Because of boobs

no insults
and the aim is not evolutionists to be insulted.
I just wanted to know why do you believe, like in school, do they force it in your brains.
I was one of those kids that would question the teacher to the point where we would fight. He always started it, chasing me out of his class, and if I wouldn't go, he would try to grab me and push me out physically, then he would lock the classroom door.

The next day I went in his class, and just one question triggered him to get angry and tried to push me out again, I refused, and applied my own physical force opposite to him, so he could not push me. then the guy tries to hit me and starts a fight. He pushes me, I push him and we would fight.

All what I wanted to know was why can't we learn what is right?

Show me where they are buried, show me the tombs/graves/chambers. If they were the original pair then it should be very easy to find.

A chimp has 99% of human DNA, they used to think it was 98, but found out otherwise.
Chimps don't "need" a lot of things we do because they live in a warm climate, and they are animals.
Chimps that most see are usually cute babies, but a grown
chimp can lift a thousand pounds, is vicious, and can eat your face off, like what happened to a lady recently.
They fight war like humans, use simple tools, and sometimes commit murder.
Not to mention that humans went aquatic long ago, like dolpins and penguins and whales, and came back on land, why
your fingers are slightly webbed and you are amphibious, while monkeys fear water.
All of the life (mostly) has bi-lateral symerty, used DNA
and RNA, and we can use some of a pigs parts because they resemble us so much.
All of this is because we came from a common origin, which to me is a lot more amazing than some spirit creating us.
But evolution is still just a "theory" so go ahead and like
some aborigine wearing animal skins, beleive in some
imaginary friend all you want.
You do know that religion is based on god (voices) talking to people, which is the textbook definition of schizophrenia

OP, do you know the difference between science and faith?

Scientists use bacteria and fast breeding organisms contained inside Petri dishes to demonstrate evolution by adding in foreign bacteria, organisms will react and over a period of a couple of months will mutate to either build a defence or to incorporate the bacteria

Most basic organisms have very short life spans so, for example say organism X has a lifespan of 24 hours that's 7 generations in a week so basically there's more chance to observe an genetic mutation - potential evolution takes place much faster than say in Humans where 7 generations would be something like 175 years.

[link to creation.com]

As for early man learning to walk on two legs, something had to have happened to cause DNA changes (stronger legs, back, slight change in bone arrangement), as with the Petri dish experiments organisms react and mutate when exposed to persistent factors over generations.

Early man must have, at one point had to travel longer and longer distances for food thus being exposed to the repetitive action of using ones legs more and more over many generations eventually causing a small mutation whereby we were standing more upright. Now the legs are more powerful they get used more and more thus opening up the potential for yet more mutations (modern, upright Humans)

Evolution is not science, its a faith of thinking

Its made up and it is not knowledge because if you know you will not forget, but if you forgot, then you don't know. Science is about knowing. Knowing is silence and the moment we try to let some other person think what we thinking, it turns to made up thinking which is made up in your head and giving as a way to think to the next person.

If you can't think for yourselves, why do yo need to think for someone else?

And the thinker of evolution is DEAD, so why must you think for a DEAD person.

If you believe mr Darwin, you should know that mister Darwin is DEAD and if you think the way he thought, you are no better than him and you too are thinking a DEAD thought.

Stop living in DEAD peoples imaginations and start looking at the reality. Because if you not thinking real, then your theory is not real and does not exist in reality.

The DEAD will remain DEAD because they are DEAD. So why learn what is Dead. Why so many people live in DEAD people's imagination. Why do we learn what DEAD people thought. They died and so is their brains, and so is their imagination also DEAD. So stop trying to resurect the DEAD by believing in a DEAD THought. If your brains are Dead, then your Thinking is Dead, and so is your Theory; DEAD,

Get a Life, and start looking at the world that is alive.
Stop trying to make mr darwin come alive by thinking for him. mister darwin will remain dead even if you think you can think for him. Mister darwin will still be DEAD and so is his Dead Theories will remain Dead. Because mister Darwins brains is Dead.

Why Believe a Dead man if he is Dead that you can't even See?

OP, you must be an American, right?

:Bullshit33:

Dig deeper. Just saying that a chimp has 99% of human DNA is totally meaningless.

Specific details like X and Y chromosomes between higher primate and homo sapien is much better.

The real question is why those people who don't believe in evolution, worry about those that do. Why would you give a fuck? I'm not trying to enlighten you. I wish you weren't stupid, but I don't give a fuck.

If Jesus were here to day, I don't think he would give a fuck, like D&C or op, and posting about evilution every freaking day.
I think that Jesus was preaching about the Kingdom of God, mostly and maybe healing people.

Yeah, there is no direct observational proof of anything ever evolving into a new species. The only thing that has been observed are changes in the average physical characteristics of a general population.

There have been attempts to create new species through evolution, e.g., breeding thousands of generations of fruit flies. Nothing ever happened. The only conclusion is that it is mathematically impossible for new species to evolve according to the theory of evolution.

There simply is not enough time in the history of the world for any animal to evolve into a new species.

[link to www.newscientist.com]

First, towards OP, we didn't come from monkeys at all and no one has claimed as much.

We actually have observed speciation events. One such was in a population of lizards in South America, and yes, there has also been observations of speciation in fruit flies. I won't post links as they're everywhere on google if you searched for "observed speciation."

I don't see how "evolution" is such a hard concept for people.. after all we have been using the principles of it to breed our domestic animals for thousands of years, artificially creating situations where we get baby animals that contain the traits we want the most for whatever our purpose is..

A good example is dog breeders. What did you think they were doing?

The recent mapping of big foot's DNA revealed that human beings did not evolve nor come from this planet. We were either brought and left here, or a far more advanced race than us came here and genetically altered us to what we are today.

Because our DNA is like something around 90% similar to other species on earth, there's no question we come from the same place as everything else around here. The question would be then whether or not all that life was introduced artificially to this planet or if it just grew here on it's own huh..

As for something modifying us.. Interesting idea, but it's not necessary to explain us humans, we're a pretty remarkable species capable of many extraordinary seeming things when we put our minds to it, we didn't need any extra help
