            This evolution and Big Bang stuff must be really hard to comprehend. I mean they use big words like fusion, chemistry along with biology and microevolution. We better leave all that stuff for big people who actually understand all that scary stuff. Meanwhile we'll stick to our Biblical coloring books. I like all that magic stuff and my favorite is coloring in Garden of Eden and that evil talking snake.

                  @paul there is still hope...christians are now mostly acknowledging evolution ...sooner or later bible would be taken as literature work than anything else...i am not so much concerned with christian world though...my concern is more about muslim world and african countries...young generation of christians dont take bible literally but most muslims take quran literally...

                  @pisean282311 I would be concerned more about the brainwashed Christians in this country because they end up in public office (i.e. Bush) and we all seen what became of that. Because if Bush wasn't so much of a Bible thumper, he'd think twice about risking troops' lives in a useless war that he claimed God told him to start. Then there are these poorly educated Congresspeople, most come from poorly funded schools in the Bible belt and other elected officials that are churched up that have negative effects on progress like stem cell research and other important scientific research along with equal rights that they deem as anti-Chirstian. And of course if some of these public schools get the proper funding, we wouldn't have these poorly educated people posting threads doubting evolution and the Big Bang. I just came from New Orleans and to get there, I had to travel through Missisippi and Lousinana and what I saw was shocking when traveling through these towns. City halls had duck tape holding broken windows together wilr grass grew through the cracks in the parking lot pavement. People living in trailers with the siding pealing off and tar paper covering the roof wih car tires holding them down. Cars that looked like they were on probation from the wrecking yards.The towns were crap holes but there was a prestine Baptist church about every 1-3 miles. Hmmmm.

      If you are referring to Abiogenesis, please read my hub on that topic: http://christopherjrex.hubpages.com/hub … uire-Magic  Otherwise, why do you think scientists consider all lifeforms on this planet to be part of an evolutionary “tree?”  It’s because, genetically speaking, we are all related.  You can trace any “leaf” (organism alive today) back to its ancestral branch, trunk, and stump.  This pattern of natural selection via descent with modification is replicated in the fossil record.  The theory of evolution is as sound as the law of gravity.  It is supported by countless scientific results by thousands of independent scientists all over the world.  No other hypothesis has been supported by sufficient evidence (with >95% statistical confidence) to become a scientific theory of how life developed on this planet.  As Motown2Chitown was kind enough to point out, Science is actually all about proving things wrong in order to deduce what is “right.”  After >150 years, nobody has been able to adequately disprove Evolution by natural selection.

         Logical fallacies. Anyway, no scientist has ever proved Evolution. If you would forcefully say that, then do. Makes no difference. This just like how Clergy and the Mollahs indoctrinate people. The only difference is that they would force you to believe God instead of Evolution!.

            In a sense, you are correct.  Science never “proves” anything because it doesn’t claim to know the “truths” of the universe.  Therefore, the only thing Science serves to do is “disprove” every possible alternative in the hopes of approaching the “truth.”  Science, unlike Religion, is flexible to newer/better ideas that serve to aid our ability to comprehend/predict the universe.  If you could, please elaborate on the “logical fallacies” that you claim were present in my statement.

                     Here you go-
                     
                     1) All lifeforms being genetically related doesn't conclude that this relation is an effect of evolution. What you said there is a pristine example of using logic to twist reality.
                     
                     2) The 'theory' of evolution isn't as sound as the 'law' of gravity. The law of gravity can be witnessed and has practical implications. While the theory of evolution is merely a belief.
                     
                     3) Science is not all about proving things wrong in order to deduce what is right. 'Deduction' is simply one of the methods employed by people who are practicing science. You have confused a method of investigation, with the investigation itself.
                     
                     4) The theory of evolution has never been proved, so there is no question of disproving it. What you said there is just like saying that because 'nobody has been able to adequately disprove' the theory of God, so it must be true.

               Your understanding of evolution makes one ponder, actually. When did adaptation equal to evolution? When did anyone could ever prove that gradual adaptation leads to the arrival of new species? And most importantly, when did anyone prove that this is the way that a bacterium became a human being?

               The facts are in the tangible proof that science can create life. Embryos  can be grown in test tubes, Clones have been created, human ears for reconstructive surgery are grown on the bodies of mice and human forearms. Science has and does take God completely out of the equation. We do not need God to create life. It's been proven and done. Can you show me proof that God took a rib from Adam and drew a Eve in the dirt and she came to be?

      Prove the theory of evolution eh?
      
      Take one generation of life that reproduces, study the offspring. If mutations and variations in the genetic code have occurred than evolution has occurred.
      
      Evolution is just genetic variation in a population over time, most of the changes are very small, that's where the TIME comes in. These small changes can, over the course of hundreds, thousands of even millions of generations, leave a population so genetically removed from its ancestor population that it has become a new species. This event is called speciation and has been observed both in the lab and in the wild.

               Well, ever notice that people who originated closer to the equator have very dark skin, but people in northern climates have much lighter skin? Lighter skin evolved because of the need for humans to get vitamin D from the sun. With less sunlight people with darker skin are unable to get enough vitamin D, so nature selected (natural selection) lighter skin for that environment. If natural selection doesn't occur we wouldn't have different looking people all over the world. We would all look exactly the same. Humans evolve to new environments and that is proof of natural selection and evolution.

                     Yup, skin colour is adaptive. Adaptive meaning (modify, alter, change, adjust, readjust, convert, redesign, restyle, refashion, remodel, reshape, revamp, rework, rejig, redo, reconstruct, reorganize; customize, tailor; improve, amend, refine, tweak). Evolution is just adaptation to an environment. Thanks for helping me proof Evolution in humans, next we can look at the horse, donkey, zebra and the ass. This is further proof that when left along in an environment changes in DNA occur in an attempt to adapt.

      What you are talking about is abiogenesis.  Not evolution. 
      
      For evidence of evolution (albeit artifical selection), check out how the English peppered moth has evolved in the last hundred years of so.
      
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppered_moth_evolution
      
      Abiogensis is the scientific study of the origin of life, which can be directly compared to creation.  One of the more popular concepts of abiogensis is panspermia which says life was seeded on Earth from space.  Mostly like bacteria on a fragment of rock.  The choice then becomes God or aliens.  Is Panspermia or Creation more satisfying than the alternative?

                        Considering that scientists estimate abiogenesis (life arsing from inorganic matter through natural processes) occurred about 3.5-3.9 billion years ago, the conditions of the earth and the environment upon it present then no longer exist today, hence scientists must attempt to synthesize those conditions in laboratory experiments, also taking into consideration the time required for abiogenesis to take place.
                        
                        However, Stromatolites date back to that era and contain fossilized bacteria microbes dating 2.75 billion years ago, perhaps the hard evidence we were looking for.

      @shades agreed...there is zero proof of god and his role in creation of human ...In comparison evolution has far more proofs...also it is most consistent theory in understanding the world ...i dont know what makes people believe in fictions like grand daddy wihich has zero proof and question something which atleast have more proofs in comparison...

            Papers don't make truth. There are thousands of papers in psychology, psychiatry, astrology and on and on. Does that make them true? If Evolution is provable, then prove that! It's your claim! People, except a few gullible, aren't going to believe what Charles Darwin dreamt in his head, unless you show evidence.

                        Well, I have checked the theory of evolution. Otherwise I wouldn't be saying all these stuff. There is no evidence that proves that theory. Meanwhile, some people have made claims that life on earth came from outer space. They are preparing their evidences for peer review. Did you know all that? Are you interested learning about that?

   Evolved resistance to antibiotics in bacteria is probably the easiest and most clear cut example of evolution in action.
   
   Evolution is actually compatible with Christianity, provided that you don't believe that God created the world in 7 literal 24 hour days. So many Christians seem to think that its an either or debate.

         Adaptation to the environment enables one organism to survive, then it dies and so does its adaptation. You are right, its not evolution. But adaptations that are passed on to the next generation are examples of evolution.
         
         Add up enough of these small changes and an organism becomes so different that it can be classed as a separate species. This is called speciation. It is easiest to see in bacteria due to their short lifespan. In mammals this occurs over a much longer timespan. Plenty of evidence exists suggesting that this is the case in animal species. Even Darwin managed to come up with some pretty clear cases all those years ago. Speciation of finches in an isolated community is the classic.
         
         If you want absolute proof that humans evolved from fish to amphibians to apes to where we are today, then you are not going to find it. Is that the point of this thread?
         
         Are you trying to prove that evolution doesn't exist, ergo God does?

            -Nope, you got that elsewhere. There is no evidence that all these adaptations added up for a long time, and we would witness the arrival of a new species.
            
            As mentioned, there are examples when bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics and stuff. Those are adaptations, and it's nowhere becoming a new species.

                        Natural selection has nothing to do with evolution. Humans can themselves manipulate the breedings of crops or certain animals to get some specific qualities in a species. Nowhere that leads to the creation of a new species.
                        
                        What you get is merely a transitory variety within a species. That natural selection led to the arrival of man, is nothing more than a complicated belief system. Well, we have priests for this belief system as well

Prove that they are two different species, and prove that human beings were responsible for their 'differentiation'. Anyway, artificial selection doesn't create new species. Natural selection, if such a thing exists, would neither (natural selection have never been observed in real life conditions).

               Actually untrue.  Their are evolutionary paths that can be traced back to the very beginnings of life, go eat some shrimp and you are eating an ancestor of one of the first animals to have evolved as a predator on this planet.
               
               and missing links, evolutionary gaps etc are a common misplaced argument, because everytime the gap is filled, people go and find another one.  The truth of the matter is that looking for fossils is hard and unprofitable work, but 'gaps' are being filled regularly.
               
               Everytime I hear someone say 'but there is no link between this and that' they seemingly forget how important that particular link was, as soon as it gets filled, and go find a new gap.
               
               Every time a new fossil is discovered, a gap is filled, and evolution is proved accurate once again.

   Well, Taurus2, I can't prove evolution, but I've seen plenty of evidence that shows it to be likely. Layers of species progressing through time, becoming more complex from about 500 million years ago to today.
   
   God created this universe and all the laws in it. I see no problem with God creating laws that led to evolution.
   
   Now, as far as the timeline in the Bible, it's all interpretation. And humility requires me not to read with preconceived notions. My cup must be empty, otherwise God cannot fill it.
   
   Even scientists, who have any measure of success, use humility and restraint.
   
   Using these, plus the faith that answers were in there, led me to the discovery of a code in Genesis that led to a timeline compatible with those of science. It even answered the age-old puzzle about the "daughters of men" and the real reason behind Noah's Flood.
   
   Homo sapiens does look a lot like other species, especially Homo neanderthalensis. But I suspect that this may have been a case of parallel evolution. And humans may not have evolved, but Homo neanderthalensis did.
   
   Humans were, quite possibly a special case, because God needed a way for His children to have continuity of consciousness and an ability to create civilization. Why? Because without the gifts of speech and civilization, we would not be able to find salvation -- the reawakening of the children of God -- to turn from the darkness of depending on physicality, to the light of spiritual dependence upon God -- the Source of all.
   
   The new Genesis timeline pegs Noah's Flood at 27,970 BC. That's right when Neanderthal ceased to exist as a species (broad scientific consensus). Hanky panky with the wrong species could've resulted in a hybrid that could not speak, negotiate, find their ways to forgiveness, or to building civilization. That seems to have been the reason for the Flood. All forms of "violence," "wickedness" and "corruption of flesh" (as mentioned in Genesis 6) that men have done since the Flood could not have been the reason for the Flood. The only corruption of flesh that would threaten God's purpose would be genetic pollution with a non-human species.
   
   But the new Genesis timeline pegs Adam (the earliest tribe) at 10,454,130 BC. That's in the middle of the Miocene Epoch -- when "giants" roamed the earth that dwarfed today's modern elephants.
   
   This really throws a wrench in anthropologists' timeline for Homo sapiens.
   
   And the really sad part, for me, is that the fact that it took an act of God to create humans, implies that a civilization building species could not have originated on its own. Neanderthal -- the closest thing offered by "nature," was too "selfish" and reactive to build civilization. That means that all the star systems out there may be teaming with life, but none of them may have a civilization. No Klingons for some future Captain Kirk to battle.

However, it is the most plausible for the masses in the scientific community to believe & passed down from there. Just as it was the most plausible to believe the earth was flat centuries ago.  I believe in the thread title.

                     Au contraire, I think it is you who got to explain. You are the person who says evolution didn't happen.

    Darwin's theory of natural selection can proven via the self-mutating gene, evolution is very real.  However, it does not explain how the genes actually came into existence in the first place (although it was attempted).

    The evidence in support of the theory of evolution is incontrovertible. There is so much evidence available now that to attempt to deny it is arrogant, willful ignorance. I do not try and argue that there is no God... but for others to try and claim that evolutionary theory is not the best available explanation for the current state of living organisms is quite frankly laughable. If those religious fundementalists who disagree with me, would first like to have a look through the explanations and evidence provided in the following links, then make objections to specific instances of evidence... feel free. Blanket denials without reference to any basis in the real world or the information that we have available about it through hundreds of years of scientific research, are not worthy of response.

    If this is not enough, then tell me why it hasn't convinced you. If you cannot come up with a specific objection that clearly disproves or discounts the particular aspect of evolutionary theory that you are attempting to debunk, then don't bother. Anyone who is capable of debate will instantly discount your argument if it is not backed up or thought through logically. Neither should you reference any premise that cannot be tested as a basis for an argument. Evolutionary theory has evidence from plenty of scientific trials using species that have rapid breeding cycles. This is undeniable, check these links out if you don't believe me:

          Micro and Macro evolution are terms made up to discredit evolution by eliminating the immediate example of evolution by just calling the example's micro evolution. Then they can make the ridiculous claim that Macro evolution is impossible because we don't see any of that.

       The egg clearly came first. The egg has been used by reptiles, birds and dinosaurs for millions of years. Now, if the question was "what came first the chicken or the chicken egg" that would be a little more complex, but the answer would still be an egg. The domesticated chicken would have been bread for it's yumminess much like we breed dog for the cuteness. The first chicken would have come from a chicken egg. You just can't get a chicken without an egg.

    Science quantifies doubt.  Evolutionary theory has far less doubt attached to it than any other rival theory, as an explanation of the development of organisms over time. 
    
    To make make a solid case for evolution would require at least several thousand words.  To disprove it would take just a single fossil to be found that is out of chronological order - so far no one has done this.
    
    Regarding how life began, we simply don't know yet.  The trend appears to be that simple life forms gradually developed into more and more complex ones, so the earliest form of life is likely to be very simple.
    
    The ground breaking discoveries relating to genetics were a huge step forward in understanding the origins of life.  Discovery of any form of life on Mars will also help to solve the problem.

       Simple life can (and does) develop from abiotic materials.  Amino acids can form spontaneously in many places throughout the universe.  It only takes five nucleotides (which are not much more complex than amino acids) to bond together and form a piece of RNA capable of performing the simplest functions of life.  Life just gets more complex and intricate from there via the process of Evolution.  For details on Abiogenesis, please read the following hub: http://christopherjrex.hubpages.com/hub … uire-Magic
