Whats Your view on Evolution?

I believe in "microevolution." This is the type of evolution that explains why there are different breeds of dogs, why some types of animali used to be smaller o larger, etc etc. Every species can not remain the same for thousands of years we are constantly changing. Even people are! Humans are much taller now than we used to be.

"Macroevolution" is Darwin evolution in that it advocates that humans evolved from apes which evolved from other animali and so on down the line. I DO not support macroevolution because it circumvents the idea that we need a Creator. I believe that all species of animals, plants, and humans are too beautiful and unique to have developed on their own; the idea that we just kind of became what we are due to evolution from mud o organisms is just not believable to me.

I hope this helps! :)

I believe! Atheist speaking here, as I'm sure te all know da now.

I'm not sure I fully understand it all, but whatever theories it offers, it makes più sense to me than God creating us.

I Don't believe in evolution, but I think that people who are atheists believe in it because they want an explanation as to where they came from. They don't believe in god, so they believe in evolution.

My take is that yes, animali did adapt to their environments da having one of their features change, etc., but not to the extent from shifting to a whole another species like monkeys to humans.

I believe in microevolution, but not the evolution "Theory" being taught. I do not beleive that chasos produces order, nor can lifelessness produce life. Even if I did not beleive in creation, I could not deny the intelligent design in the universe.
Major universities are not allowing academic freedom to review all the facts. If te have a chance, I would strongly suggest watching, Ben Stein's "Expelled: No Intellegence Allowed." It is on DVD. It will give te new insight to the debate.

I'm all for evolution, my friend. It makes the most sense, in my opinion.

I agree with what a couple people detto above, that I believe in microevolution, but not macroevolution. Like I've detto before, I just don't think it's very logical, seeing how the world is. The world really isn't getting better, as far as crime as all that goes, also known as sin. If we were all just evolved from monkeys, and there was no such thing as sin, I don't think there would be so much evil in people these days. Also, if we really did come from monkeys, I think we would've found proof da now, but we haven't. Just theories. I can definitely see where people are coming from when they explain why they believe in evolution over creation, but in my opinion, when te really dig deep enough, it just doesn't seem legitimate. Plus, I know that most people who believe in evolution also believe in the Big Bang theory, but I also strongly disagree with that, because there couldn't be a collision like that if there was nothing there to begin with. Also, as other people said, our world is too extraordinary to have simply formed on its own due to a collision. IMO, there's no way this all could've just happened out of the blue.

^ Just my POV. Don't mean to offend anyone.

Adaptation, not evolution. ;)

I understand your opinions on micro and macro evolution. However to demarcate between the two is just wrong! That is why professional biologists heap ridicule on Christians trying to interpret the data. Micro evolution is just the same thing with macro evolution, but on a much reduced o smaller scale and scope.

If te believe in the mechanism of micro evolution , then logically te have no choice but to avow the mechanism of macro-evolution.

However one important fact is to be noted and that's a point many christians don't understand. In scientific circles, a theory is an ongoing experimental and observed system of facts regarding a phenomenon o phenomena in the physical universe. For instance Newton's law of gravity o his theory of gravitation was ok for the most part as it described the gravitational pull between two massive bodies in spazio around a centre of mass. However this theory was not sufficient to explain light bending phenomenon around a gravitational field. This is explained in Einstein general theory of relativity. So in other words the relativity theory has superceded that of Newton's.

Coming back to evolution, there are a number of failures in the theory of evolution, however no alternative theory is postulated da professional scientists. Whatever observations, facts, experiments are all "tagged" to the theory of evolution whether they are really appropriate o not. Basically, if a theory fails in the criteria for a good, predictive and testable theory of science, an alternative must be sought! So the domanda remains why have the professional biologists not come up with an alternative theory. I believe, this has two answers: 1) an alternative theory would mostra that all their expertise is actually crap. 2) In the war between creationists and evolutionists the outcome would be so unacceptable.

There is one law that governs the whole universe and that's the 2nd law of thermodynamics called entropy which says that in any isolated system the entropy will increase unless an intelligent intervention occurs. For example the way we built things and invented electricity, cars and planes are all examples of intelligent intervention.

However on the other hand, our death, the death of a star, death of our sun, an mela, apple rotting, are all examples of entropy rising. The whole universe as a whole can be taken to be an isolated system though many biologists would contend that portions of this enormous system are "opened systems". But that is not the case! The example they often cite is the planet earth - they say it is an open system in that it receives warmth, radiation and light from the sun (outside element) and also meteor o asteroidal impacts that provide earth with minerals and metals. But these are just parts and parcels of the whole universe which is in fact a closed system. (to be continued)

I don't believe in evolution at all. All I've studied, & seen over the years all leads to one thing regarding it: It's a theory (opinion, not full-fledged fact, speculation, some reasonable doubt involved). Nothing in The Bible has been disproven. Just my thoughts.

well, I don't believe in it, scientists have developed the term 'missing link,', but that is thousands of things, because they don't even understand it themselves. I don't believe that we could have turned from a monkey into a human, it's like trying to turn a topo, mouse into a rat, o a dog into wolf.

I think Evolution is BS! It has been proven that the earth is less that 10000 years old. te know how? The moon gets about 2 inches farther away from the earth every year, so 1000 years ago, not a problem. But 5000-6000 years ago, major problem. The theory of Evolution is just that - a theory. It cannot be proven, therefor, it is not true. This is my opinion.

I'm a Christian and I believe in evolution :)

I believe that Cristianesimo and evolutionary theory are apples and oranges. One does not contradict the other, and I think that the whole dibattito over it is futile and only promotes ignorance, both of evolution and of Christianity, Creationism and Intelligent Design.

In most debates I've witnessed and/or participated in, many of the arguments (either in support of o against evolution) are riddled with flaws. Most people who are against evolution do not understand it at all. And most people who support evolution as opposed to Creationism and Intelligent Design, do not understand those theories, o the philosophies behind them (including Christianity) one bit either.

Both sides are full of nebulous concepts and surface understandings of what the other side stands for, and that's all I'm going to say on this matter.

Evolution is not the be-all end-all answer to every domanda we have about life on this earth. That said, it's a sound theory, and not the ridiculous "humans came from monkeys" hokum that those who disagree with it believe it to be.

Disclaimer: Those who support evolution, but NOT as contradictory to Intelligent Design, Creationism o Christianity, are not the people I'm talking about here.
