Creation vs Evolution

[Kev]

A literal interpretation of the bible? So you cant pick and choose your bits, right?

Personally i couldn't care less what people believe but please explain Noah's ark the 50,000 species of animal, 1 million species of insects....and the DINOSAURS all living together for over 6 months?

luvfightgame is correct, this is a question outside the realms of science.

There is no scientific evidence that can prove one way or the other specific details of a man building an ark.

You dont have to explain it

Noah's ark. million species. Dinosaurs.

Yes or no?

This is outside my realm of knowledge. I am only interested in what science and actual physical evidence can teach us about our universe.

I find it stange that you feel somehow that the evidence for evolutionary theory being true would be bolstered by a claim made in an ancient book regarding a man buildig a boat. If this troubles you, then you are clearly looking to accept evolution on philosophical grounds rather than based on empirical evidence.

To me Noahs ark will always be a matter for personal faith, although I do believe that there is overwhelming evidence to support a global flood.

If you take a literal interpretation of the bible you cant pick and choose the bits that suit you. Thats all.

Actually I completely agree with you. I don't claim to not believe in evolution based on any religious belief I'm not religious at all although I personally do believe in a creator.

I don't go to church, I never pray and don't live a christian life.

My conviction that evolution has never been proved to happen in the past, cannot be demonstrated to occur in the present, and is actually biologically impossible stems purely from years of immersing myself in the scientific literature.

It is unfortunate that disbelief in evolution is automatically linked to being a relgious zealot but that is just the way the evolutionary community likes to label any dissenters.

The fact is there have been many scientists who do not believe in evolution whose credentials are impeccable but whose work is not well known as anything that deviates from the absoutle belief in the evolutionary explanation of origins will have an extremely hard time getting published in respected scientific journals.

To say you do not believe in evolution is social death for any scientist within the biological and paleoanthropological sciences.

There work does get published and spread around, but it sadly inevitable that it relies on the biggest critic's of evolution, biblical creationists to publicise these writers works.

It's actually an irony in many ways as biblical creationists end up championing the works of writers who actually reject the biblical accounts of creation and such things as the flood story of Noah, whilst the evolutionary community now rejects these scientists and writers because they are only being promoted by the biblical creationists.

But as I've said many times over the course of my posts, the study of creation or intelligent design vs evolution is a fascinating one.

I'm suprised that so many people are so hostile to an alternative explanation for our origins without even checking out the facts for themselves.

It is a subject very much worthy of further study.
