evolution and the Big Bang Theory

Do you believe that Evolution and The Big Bang Theory are real?

[Hamish]

They are real theories. Do I believe they are correct...no. And you use the right word, believe, as it is impossible to go back and recreate the experiment they will remain theories and be subject to belief, or not as the case may be.

Evolution is actually quite intuitive - the better adapted an organism is to its environment, the more likely it is to survive long enough to pass on its characteristics to its offspring. Repeat over millions of years, et voila!. Of course, that's easy to say now, but it's really quite impressive that Wallace and Darwin figured it out without knowing about genes.

I agree Jenstar Evolution is pretty much logical when you think about it rationally. Most opposition to evolution is based on its conflict with religious teaching, as for the big bang don't know enough to comment. We can recreate the effects of evolution its been done for thousands of years with farm animals. Natural evolution is simply a genetic mutation that has benefited rather than hindered a species (its a bit more complicated than that but thats the general principle), in farming we have cross breed animals which yeild better milk or better wool so that in time these animals aways produce more milk of wool etc etc.

Just out off interest Hamish why do you not beleive?

[number8]

Evolution without a doubt. The creationism story is absurd in the extreme.

[Hamish]

The are unable to explain many aspects of the observanble world. -chirality, spontanious existance of life, morality, mutation from one species to another....

[Janetex]

Pretty much, yes, why?

[bernardo]

Yes.

I think that Evolution and the Big Bang Theory, are a bunch of crap. But I do believe that God created everything in the beginning of time, so ofcourse I think that evolution and the Big Bang Theory are just things that scientists made up because they didn't understand how we came to be and how that world was made. As you see, I believe that God made the world and us and everything us around us. Also if evolution is real, which I'm positive it isn't, why doesn't it keep on happening over the long years?

[sismitch]

Heck NO! I believe that God is responsible with creating this planet and all living things. And even if the Big Bang theory is true, it doesn't explain where the matter came from that caused the Big Bang. Since the universe doesn't explain its own existence, the explanation for it must come from somewhere else. And that somewhere else can only be something or Someone- who is self-existing, God.

[PunkyD20391]

I agree with sismitch!

[flashpig]

Self-existing? Does that mean you don't have to explain who made him? Could matter be self-existing?

[thejuggler]

I suppose it all depends on whether you believe "we" exist or not. Are we here or are we all just a figment of imagination? Wasn't it Bertrand Russell who said, "It is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatever for believing it is true." Mind you I think he was out of his head at the time.

[joey boy]

the big bang theory is a pile of crap, because there is no REAL proof and where did all those gasses and stuff come from ion the first place? Explain that to me with DECENT stuff to back it up and i might believe you.

[PunkyD20391]

I agree with you,joey boy. It is a bunch of crap.
