Welcome to Gaia! :: Evolution: Fact Or Fiction

I am not chatholic but a type of christen I do not believe in all the stuff catholic's do.
I do not beleive in in most evolution, but there could some evolution. I am not saying that we came from apes. I do not believe in that. but wolves to dogs I think there might be a chance of evolution because there aren't any records of dogs before 10,000 b.c. but most evolution in my eyes are false. not everyone is chatholic, in fact there are others types Christianity that are biger than catholicism.

So a bunch of dirt was floating around and smushed together to create the Earth. Then Lava came up from the Earth and created the land. Then ashes from the volcanoes flew up and created the atmosphere. Later on, the atmosphere created clouds that rained down and created the ocean, and then by the changing temperature of the water the first organisms came to be. Wait, if jellyfish had to stun fish and eat fish to feed themselves, and fish came after jellyfish then what would jelly fish eat? Plenty of new species came after that like trilobites magically formed from jellyfish and bacteria that still exist today. Later on creatures crawled up on earth and morphed into what we are today and to top it off, it's all it's all based on the "Well Tested" Theory that the Earth and the Moon were created at the same time. Which is not likely (not like it could be tested any way), because if they were formed next to each other it would be very un probable because it would be quite a coincidence that they were created at the same time, If it broke off from the Earth it would be altered, and the shape would be a lot different similar to the shape of the earth and other planets in the solar system, which contradicts how they find the absolute age of fossils. If your not a Christian, or believe in any sort of after life, then how the world started shouldn't concern them any way.

God is the Ultimate Existence who most likely had nothing to create him except for the scientific rule that was something merely like �Every action has the same or opposite reaction� which could be used to be explain the existence of God. The question which this is in response to has been used a lot but can also be used similarly to the concept of evolution by the question: where did the first bit of matter come from? Or where did all the dust floating in space come from? The answer can�t be explained the same way the question about God can because dust is no where near an infinite being that can be created like wise. There would have to be an ultimate existence in order for anything to appear. Such as: a half cup can exist as long as a full cup can. Finite life can only exist if there is an ultimate being to give it purpose and potential.



If we really evolved from monkeys then where are the others in the evolutionary chain? If we evolved from micro organisms every thing would be unstable and constantly changing and mutating uncontrollably or predictably. The new reproductive system, different from a cell reproducing with itself could not have developed suddenly, it wouldn�t have happened. How could organisms stop reproducing with themselves and grow two new reproductive systems, dependant on other reproductive system within the same time period if it took millions of years, along with the theory in evolution that we developed a body that could live much longer than before. To believe that such a reproductive system could form like that would be unlikely, to think it worked and they found each other within the same time period would be insane. .

How come some things can evolve, and not others? And what does your religion have to do with whether or not evolution is a fact/theory, or that you have to "believe" in something. I can not believe in the mountains, but it doesn't matter to the ones standing on top of them.

Two things, Macro and Micro evolution, Wolves to dogs is small. but bacteria to human? HUGE!! I believe things change a little like birds developing beaks for feeding... but there is no way a bush has any relationship to a dog

It's only perfect with respect to life as it has arisen and as far as we know - if we were in some other spot, life may have arisen some other way, and that spot could also be said to be perfect.

but if it was a few million miles(in space: very little) closer to the sun.. no life, few million miles farther away from the sun... no life

I find it odd that everything in science can be challenged and questioned but particles-to-people evolution must be held up as an infallible dogma.
