kuntrykid Zorlock Darksoul kuntrykid megachocobo2002 the theory of evolution can be supported by means of saying creatures adapting to their environment thus changing to fit it. So you're saying that if a mussel was about to get attacked by a raccoon, it would turn into a wolf via evolution? It's things like this that make me suspect you don't actually know anything about evolution. It would be adapting to it's environment thus changing to fit it, would it not? Not instantaneously, the way you seem to be describing. That's just ridiculous. I've said it before: evolution occurs over a long, long, very long period of time.

kuntrykid aztec-ninja Ok this is how I see it Brilliant insanity is a friggin genius. we as humans did evolve. but not in the way that Darwin describes. we were planned by God, to him it only took seven days and on our time it took billions of years. but when you look at it with a truly open mind you will be able to see that science and christianity don't conflict against each other but rather compliment each other. As Pope John Paul III said on the subject "The truth cannot contradict the truth." To suggest that God experiences "days" would be to suggest that he is mortal and therefore, blasphemy. not neccesarily, besides im trying to point out perhaps people just take the bible too literally God had the bible written this way not to be taken literally but to show that what takes massives amounts of time by are perspective but to him it's merely a normal work week. I never said God experienced days, but that's the way it is sexplained to use because we are to naive a nd small minded to understand things in such a way that God does.

God works through evolution.
The Creation stories, and yes there are 2 different versions in Genesis, are the writer's way of telling that God created, not how God created.

Saying that to Him, it's like a normal work week, would be implying that He experiences time. That would mean that he was created and therefore mortal. Which is blasphemy because a mortal can not be all-powerful.

It's just like the "theory" about the land's moving around. It happens so slowly, they can't just sit there and watch it over night. Everyone knows that this "theory" is true, but because it goes so slow, they can only keep it in Theory mode. Evolution takes time. Humans adapted over slow periods of time to live on Earth to the way we are today.

Evolution is alot more believable than creationism. If you look at how much humanity has changed over the time period that we are aware of, it shows that evolution is definately possible.
I think that some people who can't accept evolution may just not want to believe that humans are truly just animals..they want to be better than that.

Goldfish-Queen . I support evolution, to an extent.
I mean, it does make a lot of sense, but there are also parts that aren't explained.
i mean, first of all, there's the time problem. a single bacterium has 2000 enzymes.
scientists have estimated how long it would take the enzymes to randomly assemble themselves from a primordial soup, and the estimates run for 40 billion to 100 billion years, and the earth is only 4 billion years old.
and that's only one of the problems.
what do you think? I say that that since its and estimation to a "random occurance" it could quite possibly of happened. The kink I would like explained is the big bang theory. The way i was explained it happened was there were hydrogen atoms floting in space when they randomly bumped into eachother cause chain reaction like fuisions. Then the explosion blah blah blah. HOW DID THOSE ATOMS GET IN SPACE?!?!?!?

At the begining all animals had a talent a means of survival. Ours was intellegents and ours grew over time, which is why we now have the dominant species in a strangle hold. Speed, strength and eyesight that other animals have are great, but humans poses all of that beaces of our ability to create. In short i beleve humans are a species of animal

This universe is mortal. We all die. Nothing mortal can just exist since the beginning of time without being created. And if there was no beginning of time then the singularity would have to still exist. If there was a beginning then something would have had to create it.
