Prove that evolution is what actually happened.

This not a joke thread. I truly would like to see if I have been actually wrong all these years believing in God.

Could it be that God just did his miracles and magic in a scientific way? Maybe 7 days to him was 7 million years and he made us evolve in that time? Then the Bible just starts off when Man was able to talk and think. Maybe the Plagues can be explained rationally and so can the flood.

So what proof is there that this was not the case? That there really is no God, and we all just came from anti-matter and matter exploding, slime, fish, monkeys, Adam, Me.

The Big Bang theory and evolution are not related; don't toss them into the same bag, they aren't even the same kind of theory. First of all, Evolution is a scientific theory, we can test its various components - The Big Bang theory is not testable, and is therefore not Scientific - in fact, most of the Big Bang theory is propped up by non-testable adjustments (96% of matter and energy are dark matter and dark energy which cannot be observed, and therefore not verified).

The major difference between a Scientific theory and a Philosophical theory is that a a Philosophical theory is more or less a hypothesis based on ideas with some hard evidence and facts involved. A Scientific theory is an equation made up of components of scientific fact; and without the sorts of "ideas" involved in Philosophical theories like the Big Bang. Evolution takes into account the FACTS that genetics exist, that there is a rate of genetic mutation, natural selection and sexual selection exist, that certain mutations are more successful than others allowing for the success of some in populations, over the success of others, etc.. etc.. etc... 

For example, in homonid species, those that adapted to be skinnier, walk more upright, were - despite being physically weaker - able to survive on much less energy (1500 calories a day vs 5000 for Neanderthals, as an example). We are able to stalk prey for vast distances, outrunning and tiring them out, and then using weapons to kill them. The human body also adapted sweat glands to keep cool in the hot African climate; evaporation is still one of the most effective cooling systems known to humanity. We also cook our food, which makes it softer, easier to consume. If God did indeed create humans the way he wanted, it is not likely we would eat the flesh of other animals; however, given that cooked meat is the most efficient income of nutrients and energy in the world, it makes sense for humans to cook meat on the fire from an evolutionary standpoint.

 

Was there a God behind the mechanisms of evolution? Could have been, hyou can believe what you want; but there didn't need to be.
