why would religous ppl not believe in Evolution

[nschell_420]

Science disproves a lot of what is in that book of lies aka the bible.
1.No flood covering the Earth is possible because their is not enough water to cover all of the land up to the highest peaks,their would have to be twice as much water on the Earth to be able to do that.
2.We came from a rib,r u fuckin kiddin me and plus that's some messed up humans with all the incest that would have to happen for the population to be where it is at now.
3.And why the hell is "god"lieing to all of his prophets? The bible contradicts itslef on many occasions,come on Christians what's that about?

I don't doubt that their is a god but to believe in the christian god and the bible is just being dumb.

thats been that same way for 1000's of years.

Nope, not 1000s of years, just a couple hundred that we have been this tall- go to Europe sometime and go in one of the townhouses built in the 1400s and see if you can comfortably walk through all the doorways...
Scientific American: Ask the Experts: Biology: Why are we getting taller as a species?

Why don't evolutionists believe in God? :wtf:

I'd imagine that some do. And I'd also assume that some religious people believe in evolution.

[LegalizeTheGreen]

as a believer in evolution (sure it's a theory, but it has a hella lot more evidence then creationism) and also a believer in a higher power (aka God), I have a hard time with both sides when they get as hard-core as some of you are getting.

Now most believers in creationism seem to base their views upon the Bible (not all of you, but most), but what boggles my mind is the fact that the Bible was written by men. God didnt fax it down from heaven, it was written by people (and edited by a pagan roman emperor for that matter) and because it that, it should not be assumed to be completly accurate, and should not be used as "proof" of creationism.
The Bible is a nice book that gives very good suggestions for how to live you life, but it cant be all true, because Man is imperfect, and Men wrote the Bible.

Now evolution doesn't contradicts the existence of God in the least. Since we evolved, there cant be a God? Just because the Bible seems to contradict it (and only in the first book) doesnt mean that some of the bible can't be true. Thats like finding a typo in a textbook and assuming the whole book is wrong.

I dunno, maybe it's just my innate dislike of people too blinded by their beliefs to give others a chance, but is it really that hard to believe that God and evolution can go together like peas and carrots?

sorry for my rambling, i hope ya'll can decipher it and find some nugs of importance in it

First off is there a reason why you feel you have to be rude? I believe in creation....evolution is a theory....which is NOT proven.A theory is an idea only.Creation has been proven and if you research the rib thing,men have one less than women.Explain that.I have never said nor have I ever heard anyone say that dinosaurs didn't exist obviously they did there are remains EVERYWHERE! They just died out as the Earth and climate changed.ALSO no one said ADAM came from a rib....Eve was created from Adam by the use of his rib.Adam was created from the dust of the Earth.Before you start spouting off at the mouth and go embarrassing yourself misquoting things,do a little research first and actually pick up a Bible (KJV) and read it!!! Then maybe all your questions will be answered without the unreasonable rantings in an uneducated post...

sorry if I seem a little bitchy but you struck a nerve considering I am a believer and I don't walk around belittling or criticising other people.No need to be rude no matter what your take...

oh boy... umm... well I guess Ill start off by expressing my curiosity on how creationism has been proven? This is quite startling news to me, and I would love to read up on how it has been proven if you would be so kind as to post a link or two for me Also I was a little curious as to why you feel that the King James Version of the bible would be the most accurate? I am guessing it may be due to your Protestant upbringing? Just speculation, I hope I didnt assume wrong! However, that version of the original bible is quite far from being the closest to the original version. But to be fair, the original has been lost to dead languages and cultures, and has been mistranslated many times over the millenia.

Im not trying to pick on you, I think you are a wonderful person, I am just a curious type of person! I like understanding where other people are coming from.

I am reposting something I had to leave as a response in a different thread in this section... with the same characters debating... I've sent a pm to one of you guys re: be nicer...

This should have been a good thread, but it keeps showing up in my reported post box... hmmmm...

From my point of view here you guys have some very strong opinions, and while I see that yes, there is some argumentative personality stuff going on here, so far I'm not going to yell TROLL on anyone.

If I see anyone name-calling though it's going to be a problem.

If you are going to stand on a moral high ground, you can't be calling names either. So can we just get back to a politer discussion?

My nana has the same view on the KJV of the bible. I don't understand it either, I've tried asking her many times as well. Apparently the KJV is "the best translation" while all other translations lose meaning. It doesn't make sense to me, maybe someone else can shed light.

its proven what the hell your gonna say i came from a rib are you serious thats not no where close to bein proven wheres the facts and wheres the dinosaurs in ur bible what bout them we found the bones they had to be here and ppl who do believe in the bible just answer me why?

i think it's because of the faith they have that there's a spiritual explaination. and you know what, better for them.
it brings them peace, it cleanses their soul. and that's positive.
