Creation vs. Evolution: Think about it

Should we think about both sides of the story?
  • A letter from a King.
    Many people get in heated debates (I am one) involving both Creation and Evolution. Religion vs. Science. I believe Dr. Marting Luther King Jr. took a great approach to this.

    "Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power; religion gives man wisdom which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly wiht values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary. Science keeps religion from sinking into the valley of crippling irrationalism and paralyzing obscurantism. Religion prevents science from falling into the marsh of obsolete materialism and moral nihilism."

    They both fit together perfectly.

    Religion is too broad a term. Many religions exist with different Creation approaches. Even within religions themselves there are varied interpretations. I am Christian but do not take Creationism literally. I am much more on the side of evolution and and expanding universe, with God being a guiding hand to all of that. Other Christians think different stuff.

  • Evolution: Forced Indoctrination
    Evolutionists believe that their ancestors are apes, but where did the apes come from? Essentially they believe that the universe was created by an accidental explosion, implosion or black hole phenomenon. The earth then came from this accident and as precipitation occurred, something like bacteria formed and the entire magnificence we see every day came from this bacteria or other simple-celled organism. This is where the term "your ancestors are pond scum but I am a child of the omnipotent God."

    The scientific community puts forth junk science as unquestionable fact daily such as this man-made global warming hoax will be exposed this year http://www.wnho.net/global_warming.htm. Unfortunately, the scientific community is very biased, so the “real” scientists that have opposing opinions are not free to express their research, theories and new facts for fear of being rejected by their community. They also fear loss of their jobs and government funding of projects unless they walk in lock step with false/junk science.

    True scientists, many that are not simply teachers and professors that have never done anything of relevance in the scientific world, but those that are prominent and do more than follow the crowd, know that the theory of evolution is statistically improbable. Why, because they realize that even under the most scientifically pristine and controlled laboratory environment there is no way that the before mentioned simple-celled organisms could have grown skeletal structures, the complex organs and brains, reproductive and other systems that we see in the vast array of organic life-forms we see daily.

    We know that even through the change of seasons we that occur every year that the world is not a controlled environment for such experiments. Take into consideration the natural cycles of climate change and the "laboratory" definitely loses its controlled environment.

    Instead of improvable theories, we do know 2 facts - organic life has been given the ability to adapt to the environment around it from plants to humans and everything in between. Our immune systems are a perfect scientific example of this ability to adapt.

    The other fact is that the fossil record shows the fact of extinction. Species have come and gone because of environmental factors. But, the fossil record distinctly does not show the billions of life-form changes from the simple-celled organisms to the complex magnificence that exists in the world today, thus disproving the theory of evolution. Don't be fooled by the collection of human and ape skulls that are collected and displayed as trans-formative. Again environmental factors can and do change skeletal structures as weather, available nutrition, and other variables have a direct effect on our bones. Example: humans have gotten taller in recent history due to better nutrition and medical care. Is this a function of macro evolution? No, again this is clearly natural adaptability known as micro evolution.

    Another thing to consider is that true scientists know that statistically it is highly improbable to the extent of impossible that during this evolutionary process that somehow the perfect living environment came about without killing off every potential life form while the atmosphere developed from a cold lump of rock to the vibrant eco-home we call earth. We are led to believe that a very strong bacteria or something like this was floating in outer space and grew once the situation was right here on earth. Again, taking this back further, where did the live bacteria come from – who created it?

    When we shut out other ideas, the scientific community gets stagnant. We are forced to teach “evolution-only” so called "science" to our kids, and we ridicule those that question it. Thus, we as a society are shutting out any possibility for new thought and the real truths to be found. No monies are given to alternative theories, so we have created a false reality by forcing this theory to be unquestioned by governments across the world.

    It's funny, schools can't teach our kids how to balance their checkbooks and live within their means, nor can they teach morals, love of God and country and all of the other important things in life, but they are mandated to teach every kid in the world the "theory" of evolution as unquestionable fact. Strange isn't it.

    One thing to note - communists countries begin their communist indoctrination and brain washing with the forced teaching of evolution and that there is no god. The state is taught to be the only god needed in life. We even see worship of crummy leaders like the ones in the old USSR, North Korea and to some extent in Cuba. Stalin and Lenin killed over 100 Million of their own people to force and terrorize their population into compliance.

    Kind of makes you think that Marxist thought lies in the belly of most of our “modern” world governments to varying degrees doesn't it? Meanwhile, Christians are threatened and actually thrown into jail/prison for speaking their beliefs; while pornography, religious hate speech, and all forms of perversion and vile speech and behavior is given full free speech protections. Here are several of the hundreds of thousands of examples:

    http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55254

    More junk science and junk law forced upon us:

    Abortionists have the right to tear unborn babies apart in a brutal act of murder just to earn a buck. But, this is legal, even though medical science shows us that the unborn baby has a heartbeat before the mother knows that she missed her first period (21 days from conception), and that babies in the womb feel pain and are screaming when they are ripped to shreds.

    Don't let common sense be stamped out of your mind. Drive on with truth facts and real science and help to get the word out.

  • Here is the facts
    Both Creation and evolution are similar.

    Being ...

    Creation doesn't mean something new ... it means that some thing was made, and you can make something out of something which can be a new product, which would be considered evolution in a way, but you cannot make something out of nothing. Creation has nothing to do with spirituality or religion, creation is simple the making of something ... And can be used in making an earth, or a building.

    Now ... evolution. There is no such thing as one way; therefore, evolution is from creation, and is a creation in itself. One thing evolving to another.

    People need to stop trying to dispute the two. Nether Creation or evolution came before or after, nor is one false and the other true, they both are true. There is no reason to decide which is true and which is false, because both 'Creation' and 'Evolution' have very much to do with each other, us, and spiritual beliefs.

    Evolution is wrong, pure and simple and is not possibly compatable with Christianity. I am very much a funadmentalist and I do take creation to be a literal and scientifically accurate account.

    I am under no illusion that one can either disprove or prove the either creation or evolution conclusively, however. But there is more evidence for creation. For one small (and widely known) example, the fossil record indicates no kind of steady progress. That is not to say that different species may have evolved (micro-evolution). And in another problem with evolution is that mutations have been beneficial to mankind nor can they be. In support of creation, the fossil record shows a sudden appearence of creatures of all different kinds. And just the odds alone that our planet happened to be created by chance, and then chemicals just happened to spontaniously combine to produce life is completely unrealistic.

    Why is evolution not compatable with Creation, though? For this simple reason that one cannot be gotten around. The order of creation is different between the two.

    Anyway, more on this later.

  • The chicken, the egg and dodo's
    Creation vs. Evolution. An unavoidable topic for discussion when one mention's centuries old heated debtates.
    Hmm...well, which one came first? The chicken or the egg? Some argue that it is the chicken, because in order to have an egg (or the need for an egg, for that matter) you need a chicken (or something in need of an egg or some form of protection).
    Some very UNIQUE individuals believe that it's the egg because chickens, according to them, evolved from dodo's. (Nice one, Alanah. Who's the nut now?)
    Anyhow, point is, we'll never know. None of us have ever met God (or lived to tell the tale) and none of us lived during the beginning stages of evolution. So either way, we'll never know.
