Creation vs Evolution

[Kev]

Oh god no! As if the 9/11 threads weren't enough :P

anotehr scurge of internet forums, the creation thread... :P

Seriously though, I was raised Christian but don't really even know what I beleive any more... I don't beleive that there is or isn't a god etc...

My religion is called Confusedianity.

Personally I find it best to leave religion out of it completely and just examine the evidence.

I.e the fossil record, transistional fossils, gentetics etc, then it becomes an interesting topic.

For me it is never going to be proven how we got here, and ultimately it is a reliance for faith but after looking closely at the supposed evidences for evolution I have to say that they just arn't there.

then you have obviously not examined enough evidence......Evolution is simply change.....it happened....the bible is a great book with some great stories....The stories were written to create a way of life...a way for people to come to grips with the questions they needed answered.....The Bible is a step up from Mythology.....And this God,Jesus and Holyspirit stuff replaced Apollo/Zeus...the winners of the wars and invasions imposed their beliefs upon the defeated masses...and those that didn't like certain aspects of their religion simply made up a new one (King James anyone?). Religion is there for those unable to accept that we are just here....nothing more...there is no heaven ...there is no hell....so live in the now....and be the best you can be ....EVOLVE into a better person!!!!

Hey bigragu, it saddens me when people defend evolution whilst clearly not understanding even the basics of what it is.

Evolution in the biologial sense is not simply change, it the transformation of one organism into another through gradual changes within its DNA structure over successiv e generations. The principal driving force behind this evolution is said to be mutations within the gens during replication. Not a single such mutation has ever been observed, science cannot manufacture one and no new information has ever been found to have been added to the DNA of an organism.

Furthermore the principles of molecular biology are actually contradicted by evolution. There is no evidence to support biological evolution according to the true meaning of the word at all.

Unfortunately the average person confuses biological evolution with other terms of usage for evolution and see's for example how different species of dogs have been bred over the past few thousand years by mankind and they think that is evidence for biological evolution when it fact that is something entirely different, natural selection which is NOT evoltion.

Of course scientists and television programmes are deliberatly vague on this point to continue to confuse people who think natural selection, or even human advancement is evolution when neither has anything whatsoever to do with the biological evolution at the molecular level of an organism which is what they are talking about.
