How come don't believe in evolution if...

how come *people don't believe in evolution if...

we have genes that a) do nothing b) come from ancestors that were different species like lizards or whatever c) are shared by other animals

I hate arguing over evolution but I'm just curious why people don't believe in it when the proof is in the pudding. Our genes are like a history book for evolution.

Gee, I am sure this thread is going to be civil and not at all troublesome to me.

If people are intelligent they can surely put in their 2 cents without namecalling or hatefullness.

I am just asking a question though really, not trying to incite an argument. The big question is WHY..

Because there's a deep-seated fear in the human psyche that all existence is meaningless and is a product purely of random chance. Thus, some people believe in God, or Allah, or whatever makes them feel like they were destined to live, to be where they are right now. They choose to believe in the divine rather than evolution as an unconscious coping mechanism that allows them to face each day with determination and optimism in their purpose.

The world is awfully big and scary if you don't have a destiny to guide you.

I'm gonna voice my opinion w/out belittling others beliefs by using big words which one can find in a dictionary (like most posters here like to do).

I just dont understand why the other apes didnt evolve like our ape species.

The other apes/monkees arent even close to how we're evolved present time.

Lol

A lot of Americans came from Britain ya? Well if that's so, why are there still British people? An easy way to show how silly the "if we evolved from monkeys why are there still monkeys?" argument. It's not as if all monkeys lived in the same group in the same place at the same time.

Some apes/our ancestors/whatevers lost their tree-home and eventually evolved into bipeds and then into humans. Other ape ancestor's homes never changed (much, or at least enough to evolve into us).

Monkeys are more evolved than humans. More evolved = changed more NOT better than

Did you just compare humans/monkees to americans/britains?

Okay, going by that logic...then americans are more evolved than brits?

 

[SuperFerret]

Well, weren't the Monkees british?

Has the fossill record confirmed Darwin's theory like he promised it would?

No.

The "missing Link" is still missing.

Which theory has more scientific facts to back it up?

In regards to creationism, where is the garden of Eden?

you are making the giant leap that most evolutionists do.

Similiaity does not equate to relationship. Apes have 4 hands.....

insects have wings but so do birds..........etc.......

You could've just multi-quoted, y'know.

Hang on, however giant a leap it may be, surely it's a proverbial tiny step compared to the MASSIVE leap of some dude in the sky creating everything within a week.

I'm still waiting for that missing link.

Read a play or watch the movie called Inherit the Wind, great movie, great play. However, your post is slightly hypocritical since you barely give the other side a chance to retort since you basically say there argument is "stupid" to begin with.

If people are intelligent they can surely put in their 2 cents without namecalling or hatefullness.

I am just asking a question though really, not trying to incite an argument. The big question is WHY..

How can you say your not inciting an argument, you're asking WHY people are stupid(In your terms).

Now time for probably the only voice on the other side of this. I believe in evolution, HOWEVER... I do not think creationists are idiots, they look at what their given, and have come to the conclusion they don't believe it for whatever reason. That's there decision and they shouldn't be humiliated for it or made to feel like there inferior to those of us who believe in evolution... WHat I find mostly is that for every athiest saying people of faith, are insecure and need something, are in the same boat since they've replace there faith with a desire to put down people of faith, in the same way that people of faith try to convert everyone.

P.S. How much do people actually know about evolution other than "WE COME FROM APES!!! AND PROBABLY WORMS TOO!"

No theory.....fact.


Complexity demands and intelligence behind it. In Darwin's day it was understandable to come to some of his conclusions. Looking at the cell through his microscope, led him to believe that it was primitive one-cell organism. But today, there is more information. That cell is a friggin' computer!! A factory so balanced ...so intricate...there is no way random chance put that together.

It takes more faith to be an evolutionist:

Eden according the Bible was located near the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers... Iraq. God removed the Garden because of Adam's sin.
