Of everything you could pick on, you accuse them of worshiping bread? Is that really the best you can do?
WagnerPaiva said: No way, evolution is religion. Proof is fabricated and also cherry picked. Fossiles do not need millions of years to form, they can form in months. Carbon dating do not work cause the decay is not uniform. There was a Great Flood that formed the fossiles, the Grand Canyon and pretty much explains 99% of all answered questions of science. Evolution is religion, it is a desesperate atempt to run away from the Creator, nothing else. Evolutionists gather bones and create fairy tales, write thick books and people say it is science. The changes in population are not evolution, no pigeon will turn into a eagle or a elephant. Mutants are not evolutions. A man born with three arms is not evolution, it is a variant. The environment can cause mutations? Sure, Hiroshima kids were born with no legs or eyes, but these are aberrations, not evolutions. |
The only model that makes sense from a religious standpoint and a scientific standpoint is the "aged earth" model (which postulates that the earth was created with age). All other models, such as those stating that the earth was created 6000 years ago are scientifically impossible. As a rational person, you cannot say that all of science is wrong and fabricated, however the existence of science does not destroy religious beliefs.
Also, there are numerous dating methods that can be used. Carbon dating can really only be used reliably to date something around 40,000 years back, however there is also K/Ar dating, Ar/Ar dating, Paleomagnetism, and Relative Dating techniques for dating things on earth. Then there are also cosmological dating methods using a multitude of techniques to date the universe (as well as the earth and the sun). All methods unanimously deny the religious belief that the Earth/Universe is 6000 years old.
Additionally, the backbone of evolution is that numerous small changes result in large changes over time. We cannot really talk about this with modern humans, as we first of all exist over a very small time frame and second of all, have various means of eliminating large scale evolution. However, we have witnessed numerous times in which first of all, mutations have occured naturally creating a distinct change in something. On the smallest scale that would be bacteria which can evolve at alarming rates. On larger scales, we have recorded speciation in things such as dogs and birds etc. Why can these small changes not add up to large changes?
Looking at the fossil record, we also see a multitude of transitional states between paradigms, such as when fish began to leave the water (developing lungs and legs etc)
"The changes in population are not evolution": That is, by definition, false. Evolution is simply change over time. All logic shows that small changes would add up to larger changes. Unfortunately, there are a multitude of misconceptions (and blind denial) which prevents people from seeing that.
Once again, science doesn't challenge your faith. I believe in god and evolution and neither threatens the other. If you choose to hold yourself in ignorance, that is your decision, but God gave us minds to think and explore and learn...is it not wrong to throw away those gifts and live in blindness?
