First off, very few religious people deny evolution by now. 2nd, evolution does in no way disprove existence of God by the slightest. I think this is a flamebait/troll thread to be honest

This is actually not true. At least, the overwhelming majority of people part of Abrahamic religions do not believe in evolution. Don't know about the Asian religions.


It is true. All the religious people i know, both in Serbia and Germany, none of them deny evolution, rather they believe its process and system was designed/created by God. The ones that deny it are some old un progressive fundamentalists mostly living in middle west and middle south USA.

In Romania,. the overwhelming majority of people don't belive in evolution. And an user on here posted some statistics on another topic where it showed that the majority of Christians worldwide don't believe in evolution. Of the people following Abrahamic religions, only Jews believe in evolution in large numbers (75%).


maybe you need better education than, i still doubt that's true tho. most of western christians dont deny evolution, i will post more statistics tomorrow

You can try, but I assure you that you'll end up proving yourself wrong.

Gah!! I'm doing it again. I hate these threads. I need to start with a disclaimer - I'm not trying to offend anyone, so please don't take anything personally.

SpurgeonRyan - if you really want someone to answer your question PROPERLY, don't ask this site. Seriously, the responses in these threads from both sides have ranged from utterly ignorant to misinformed/misunderstood/poorly argued.

If you are serious about this I suggest reading a book or going to a museum. I strongly suggest reading Richard Dawkins' The Greatest Show On Earth. Most people may know Mr. Dawkins as an atheist, but in fact, he is an Evolutionary Biologist. First of all he puts to bed this idea that evolution is a theory (as in an unproven idea). The word theory has more than one meaning (like many words in the English language). In terms of the "theory" of evolution, it means (and I'm quoting The Oxford English Dictionary here) - a scheme or system of ideas or statements held as an explanation or account of a group of facts or phenomena; a hypothesis that has been confirmed or established by observation or experiment, and is propounded or accepted as accounting for the known facts; a statement of what are held to be the general laws, principles, or causes of something known or observed.

As Mr. Dawkins points out, there is the Heliocentric "theory" of the solar system, where the Earth and the other planets in our solar system revolve around the sun. Are you seriously going to believe anyone who says otherwise? Are you going to state that it's only a theory and therefore not proof?

Furthermore, evolution is a process you can test yourself! Dog breeders, race horse breeders and pigeon fanciers (to name but a few) have been altering the physical attributes of animals for centuries. If you wanted to, you could do it yourself. Of course, you could also completely ignore it and pretend it doesn't happen or isn't evolution. But it does happen and it is evolution, it just isn't natural selection. Natural selection makes perfect sense, by the way. If you understand it.

Finally, there is physical evidence you can look at and even touch yourself. Go to museums and see it for yourself, with your own eyes.

I'm probably coming across as a bit of an arse, but really, in this day and age pretending that evolution isn't real is just plain silly.

Right, well I spent much more of my day writing that than I would have wanted, and, as before I won't be replying to any replies this post gets (it's pointless). My point is, read The Greatest Show On Earth.
