Who Thinks Evolution Is Totally Fake And Shoudn`t Be Taught In Schools?

I am Christian and think that evolution is a lie.What do you think?

Answer Question

16 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    There is nothing "fake" about evolution.  It is not a lie, and there is overwhelming evidence to support it.  I would like to know what you think should be taught in our public schools?  

    If you think evolution is fake, how would you explain the ability of viruses and bacteria to mutate into new strains that are more resistant to medications from one year to the next?.  Every year new strains of flu evolve from old strains and are more resistant to antibiotics and other medicines.  How do you explain the combination of two plants to produce a new one.  How would you explain the ability to breed animals in order to eliminate undesirable traits and strengthen those traits that are more desirable?  Scientists have been able to produce forms of wheat and corn that are resistant to insect predators, and those that have increased yields.  The processes employed to alter plants and animals are forms of evolution that are accelerated and controlled, but evoloution none the less.

    What you have described is not evolution where one animal turns into a completely different kind of animal, what you have actually described is the biblical concept of things producing after their own kind, also the concept of an intelligent designer. None of the above mentioned bacteria,viruses or flu strains became something totally different but remained within their own kind, even after an intelligent designer created an antidote which forced them to adapt, they still remained within their own kind. The plants never became a completely different kind of plant, they were still just plants that had been grafted together from another compatible plant by an intelligent designer, you can't do this with every type of plant only plants that are compatible with each other, as for the dogs, again it was an intelligent designer that bred the undesirable traits out of the dogs, but they remained just dogs, they didn't turn into a completely different kind of animal, they remained within their own kind just like the bible says. Your statement explains intelligent design not evolution. If you want to argue evolution then give us an example of an animal turning into a completely different kind of animal that has never existed before (like a cat breeding with a frog and producing a different kind of animal) that would be true evolution, not just adaptation within their own kind.

    You don't know what you're talking about. Intelligent design is a creation which is a load of crap. I did not say anything about something turning into other. Animals don't evolve into plants or vice versa. Survival of the fittest is a part of evolution.

    #1-Survival of the fittest is not a part of evolution, the phrase was first coined by Herbert Spencer in 1864. It is a metaphor not a scientific description. The term that Charles Darwin used and is used almost exclusively by modern Biologists today is natural selection. #2-You said that you didn't say anything about "something turning into another and that animals don't turn into plants". My point is, you should have, because that is what evolution is all about. Your statement shows that everything remained within its own kind,which means that they didn't evolve into a different kind of animal but remained the same kind of animal. Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the notion that all of life is related and has descended from a common ancestor, the birds and bananas, the fish and the flowers are all related. It is a theory that presumes the development of life from non-life,( that is when the the dead matter of amino acids and molecules mixed and by some miracle formed the living cell.) It is presumed that complex creatures evolved from more simplistic ancestors over time, as random genetic mutations occur within an organism's genetic code the beneficial mutations are preserved because they aid survival---a process known as "natural selection". These beneficial mutations are passed on to the next generation. Over time, beneficial mutations accumulate and the result is an entirely DIFFERENT ORGANISM, (not just a variation of the original, but an entirely DIFFERENT CREATURE). I have a question. Since we are supposed to have evolved from apes and we are the pinnacle of evolution, the best of the best, how come the ape is immune to several types of diseases ranging from malaria to several different kinds of cancer and we are not. According to evolution/natural selection we should have inherited their immune system.

      I think it is a terrible disservice to children to not be taught science.  I think that evolution is part of understanding how we evolved from australopithecus and neanderthals to homo sapiens--a facts verified by years of anthropological research.  Just as we see the evolution of the great tiger, elephant throught fossil remains of the saber tooth tiger and the wooly mammoth, we also see the evolution of mankind from early hominids to modern man.  Evolution is real.  It is not a lie.  It in no way disproves the existence of God as so many advocates of Intelligent design and Creationism proclaim.

      I also think that science should be taught in school but evolution is not science,even the scientists that are very dogmatic toward evolution admit that they cannot prove it, evolution is based upon speculations and assumptions nothing more. Evolution is meant to make atheism seem acceptable. One of the misconceptions is that evolution is purely scientific and that creation (because God is involved) is purely by faith, that is not true, the fact is, evolution is by faith because there isn't any scientific proof/evidence (if you have some please share it with us) creation on the other hand has an abundance of scientific proof/evidence.

      I think that the theory of Evolution is based off of science. Anthropologists proved that our common origin was based in Africa due to the early hominids founds there. This on the other hand, does not disprove the existence of God. We as Humans are an ever evolving species and the progression of man from vegetarian/hunter groups to agrarian more agricultural societies proves that we indeed learned the very complex social dynamics of cooperation , orderly society, and most importantly, hierarchy. Bosco3, the flaw in your argument is to misconstrue faith as a measurable by scientific study. Which of course is not possible. Faith is based off of a belief system above and beyond proof. Whereas, evolution is based on tangible scientific evidence through anthropological findings of Leaky and other scientists after him. Creation itself has proof that of it's existence as we are living in the world with many aspects of life--Right? Still the idea that God created 'Creation' is a matter of faith alone. Not science. In short, we cannot prove that God created the world. We have to believe he did. Evolution can be proven time and time again by the scientific method of gathering data, seeing us evolve through million of years from Ape-like Hominids to Early Modern man to Present day man. The theory of Creationism is a way to discount the theory of Evolution. But Creationism or Intelligent Design does not fall under the category of scientific inquiry.

      I have to disagree that evolution is based on science, there is nothing in science that proves evolution at all. The reason that creation isn't taught in school is that creation not only conflicts with evolution but it refutes it. I am not saying that faith can be scientifically proven ( not even faith in evolution) I am saying that creation can be scientifically proven, I don't believe in God just to have something to believe in, I believe in God because the scientific evidence points to creation not evolution. You say that it can't be proven that God created the earth and everything in it, and I say that you can't prove that everything was formed by chance, like where did all the rock and dust come from to form all the planets, where did all the gases come from to form the stars and where did the amino acids and molecules come from to form the living cell etc. etc. etc. if you can't prove these things scientifically then you are going by faith in the scientists that tell you about evolution. You say that we evolved over millions of years from ape-like creatures but there is no proof of that.What we call the Neanderthals turned out to be just plain people, the Piltdown man (Eoanthropus dawsoni) turned out to be a deliberate hoax, the Nebraska man(Hesperopithecus) was reconstructed, family and all from a tooth-a tooth that later was found to belong to an extinct pig, the Leakey family along with Donald Johanson discovered "Lucy"(Australopithecus,which means southern ape) and it turns out that is just what Lucy was,a southern ape. Scientists have never found that all to crucial missing link,in fact when Lucy was discovered the hands and feet ( the only bones that can absolutely prove if it is an ape or a human) were missing, that was very strange,also 13 years later, under the place where Lucy was found, Richard Leakey (Louis Leakey's son) found "bones virtually indistinguishable from those of modern man, how did they get there before Lucy? Richard Leakey said that his discovery shattered standard beliefs in evolution. Louis Leakey started the modern interest in australopithecines back in 1959 with his "ape man" Zinjanthropus which has been reclassified Austalopithecus bosei, and it is considered grossly apelike, an extinct ape really not related to man at all. Every time that scientists think that they have found some proof of evolution it always turns out to be wrong and yet they teach it in school as if it were a fact.

        Do not lecture us on science if you yourself know little about it.  For something to be a theory is needs evidence.  Evolution is a theory God is not.  Evolution can be confirmed through tests and experiments, God can not.  I am currently taking college courses in evolutionary biology so unless you too take those courses do not say how evolution is fake because the current evidence points to that it is not.  Also, no recent study stated that carbon dating was incorrect.

        robbier44-What tests/experiments have been conducted to confirm that evolution is a fact? Also by who and when.

        This is a quote from Hayatsu: "In conventional interpretation of potassium-argon age data,it is common to discard ages which are substantially too high or too low compared with the rest of the group or with other available data such as the geologic time scale. the discrepancies between the rejected and the accepted are arbitrarily attributed to excess or loss of argon". It is crucial to observe that adjustments are made to fit with the geologic time scale. The geologic time scale is a fabricated, paper chart whimsically arranged for the sole purpose of providing support for the theory of evolution. To demonstrate the unreliability of the radiometric clock system these monumental dating blunders have been cataloged and they have woefully embarrassed the disciples of Darwin. #1 Studies on submarine basaltic rocks from Hawaii known to have formed less than two hundred years ago,when dated by the potassium-argon method,yielded ages from 160 million to almost 3 billion years. #2 Studies on recent volcanic rocks have been reported by a British consulting engineer, and he finds that there are serious discrepancies in their'age-dating' by conventional methods. Research on ten samples from Azores,Tristan de Cunha, and Vesuvius, of rocks known to be very young, gives' ages' all the way from 100 million to 10.5 billion years. A quote from an evolutionary scientist named Dr. Stephen Moorebath of the University of Oxford wrote " no terrestrial rocks closely approaching an age of 4.6 billion years have yet been discovered. The evidence for the age of the earth is circumstantial, being based upon...indirect reasoning". Dr. Robert Kofahl has noted that "it is not possible to 'prove' that the earth is billions of years old. Dr. Donald Chittick " the idea that the earth is very,very, old is not in any way suggested by any studies in science. It arises as a result of rejecting Special Creation. He is absolutely correct, the only reason that people believe in evolution is because they don't want to believe in Special Creation. This should be enough to show that the dating methods used to record the age of the earth are not as accurate as evolutionists would have you believe.

        Here is a bit of scientific evidence that I'll bet they don't teach in school. A few years back, two evolutionary scientists by the name of John A. Eddy at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and High Altitude Observatory in Boulder and Abram A. Boomazian a mathematician with a Boston firm, examining data gathered over four centuries, concluded that the sun has been shrinking at a rate of about 0.1% per century, which is equivalent to about five feet per hour. If the rate of the sun's contraction has been constant ( and there is no reason to think otherwise) and one projects historically backward, the sun MUST INCREASE IN SIZE. At 100,000 years ago the sun would have been double its present size. Remember according to evolutionary calculations, man had already been on earth for more than 3 million years at this time. Also at 20 million years B.C. the sun would have been touching the earth. According to the evolutionary time scale the dinosaurs had already been roaming the earth for more than 40 million years. Think about that.

        Exactly!  My science teacher and I were talking about beliefs and evolution and other beliefs and I DO NOT believe in evolution, and  I never will.  I told her there *is* proof that evolution doesn't exist, and she was like "no there's not", but there is.  I read that scientists say that the rotation of the earth slows down every year, and someone did that calculations, and if the earth actually were millions of years old, the earth would be spinning so fast everything would be flying off!  According to biblical evidence, the earth is only about 6000 years old.  Not only that, but there's lots of other proof that evolution does not exist.  Plus the guy who came up with the theory, that darwin guy wasn't really even in his right mind when he did!!!  People said that he was a dark man and was having problems in his life at the time.  I think evolution is a TOTAL LIE and a bunch of crap.

        There is a lot of evidence that God exists also.  I am a Christian and all this evolution crap shouldn't be taught in schools!  If they can teach that belief then why can't we learn about the Bible in school?   If you live in America, this country was founded on Christian beliefs, too!  I can't stand the evolution theory.

          There's difference between evolution and the creation of matter.
          Say god made the first atoms, those bonded, formed cells, then started to become 2 cells and so on and so on, until man was evolved. God and evolution can exist at the same time you know. You will never hear an evolutionist say that matter was made out of nothing, but that's not their point either. There was 'something', and that 'something' started to adapt, how that 'something' was here in the first place doesn't really matter, maybe it was God, maybe it was someone else.

          Besides, if we really wanna go that road... Out of what did God make mankind if there was nothing to begin with? Who made God and why is he here...?

          Then another thing, 6000 B.C. , time is relative which is a theory that's well defended by good reasoning (which you can do and understand yourself) by Einstein. So what is 6000 B.C anyways?

          Again, lets recapitalize, none of these things prove God does not exist, they support evolutionism whilst not attacking God as a whole, maybe some biblical beliefs.

          I myself think it's safer to start from zero, then start reasoning myself from everything that I've heard. Thinking the bible is true and then deriving the whole world around it is halftruth, you can never see the world openly.

          Enough about evolution.

          Why I don't believe in any religion: The 3 main religions, judaism, islam and christianity all overlap on some points. The Koran has Jesus as a prophet, judaism also has Jesus and there are many more examples. Cristianity was born out of Judaism which is a fact, Jesus being a Jew and all, it makes sense they overlap. All of those 3 religions have nearly the same forefathers, isn't that strange? Maybe they were all the same religion some time way back but started to split then.
          Catholicism, orthodox christianity, how come they all exist? They're derived from Christianity are they not? Doesn't that mean there are that many religions as there are people that just happen to follow them? (maybe invent them, or just not intentionally...)
          Rituals are bound to change over time, people not remembering the exact words and stuff, and slowly a new type of church is born, heck this even starts to sound like evolution o.O As an example: Have you, as a child ever played that game where you stood in a circle with a bunch of other people, one person said a phrase, whispered it to the other, and so on until it reached the last person who then said it out loud? The phrase was different, right? But it started out as something different, the 'true' phrase. If you do that for religion rituals, maybe books that are translated and copied, then you have your other religion derived from the 'true' one. Even if God and all exists, it would mean we don't have the 'true' bible anymore and that spooks me. I mean, what's the point to believe it then. So how am I supposed to know which belief is true if they all have so many similarities, so many people following them. All religions have some sort of hell you go to if you don't believe... So do I just have to take my chances and take whatever belief? I see no point... There's as many chance christianity is wrong as judaism and islam are wrong. So chances are I'm going to hell anyways. So why bother? Also: That rule, the Islam says you can't eat pork, you know why? Because back in the days, Pork was the meat that got bad the fastest from laying in the sun. So it wasn't really a religious statement, it was for healthcare. But still.. NOW it doesn't make sense, yet there are thousands of people that still don't eat pork because of a document that was made up years ago, for the wellbeing of the people. Pork is not drying in the sun on a sweaty table somewhere in the middle of the middle east anymore!

          Something made the world, and I believe in that 'creature', 'force', name it you like. And that's what I believe in, my reasoning tells me evolution is right so that something created matter and matter began evolving. But I refuse to believe in most other people made out of that, people that started fantasizing about that 'something', the God, writing stuff down, rewriting it, it's bound to be wrong... NOT entirely, but some missing links here and there. I don't believe in derivatives of a true sense. So that's why I only believe in God in it's simplest form the creationist of matter, the building pieces. So don't believe some book, just start from zero... Think for yourself... What does NOT make sense? What is the true question? :WTF are these frigging atoms doing here and how did they get up here in the first place. Don't believe a pile of words stored in a book that might be as false as the Koran.

          Brainwashing has been done before, just watch "The Third Wave". Make out for yourself how much you could've been influenced so far... It's unreal, so start from zero people. Life a happy life, help other people, it's a nice philosophy and besides... That was the whole point of Jesus

            I'm not about to state my personal beliefs, however, it is my opinion that evolution should be separated from school. There is no need to indoctrinate our children. Do schools teach Christian, Jewish, or Muslim views? I think not. As such, whether or not evolution is based on fact, it is still a belief, and in its own way, a religion.

Many people find it offensive that it is taught in schools. Its a belief and if creationism is taught in school non believers in god, would go to town on the schools.So if evolution which is a belief is taught in the school than shouldn't kids with the christian belief be exempt fro evolution teachings? The answer is yes!!!!!!!! Evolution is fake and should not be allowed to poison the mind of kids who's religion is being prosecuted! Stop the teachings of evolution in the school. Stop the teaching in the school. Lets keep the first amendment in the school setting. If your with me reply to this

              I agree that evolution is a bunch of bull. I feel this way because, what-we evolved from bacteria or better yet apes. Okay, yeah, that makes a whole lot of sense. We just popped here out of now where. Better yet,  some say, we have similar DNA strain as apes, but do we have the same?-NO. Some claim these things, but where did the first one come from? It had to be created. In addition, I also do not believe that the earth has been here for millions of years. Resent studies have show that carbon dating is incorrect.  Science is not always as much fact as we would like to believe. We continually go back and change what we believe to be factual because it is discover to be false. We can not be sure that this is the way it all began so why teach about it. If in schools we teach this theory, I cannot understand why we wouldn't teach the theory of God. Or the theory of any possible way we could have gotten here. Whether it involves anyone's God.  It doesn't have to be a religious thing. Nevertheless,   evolution is simply a belief that this is how we got here, so again, why cant all beliefs be taught. There is no science about it. There is no way we just popped here out of no where. So, in conclusion I believe that my Lord Jehovah created us, in fact, there is no question in my mind, and evolution is an evil way to distract us from the truth.

How can they say that we're are even related to those things. Just because we're shaped like apes doesn't mean we are shaped like a snake and a worm. Just because they look alike doesn't mean they're true. I call that the Corume Theory

              Evolution is not science, science by definition can be tested in a lab or on a field. evolution contradicts known laws of science, e.g. biogenesis, thermodynamics, etc. the bones they claim to be from ancient man have all been refuted as being other creatures. things can adapt without giving heed to macroevolution. microevolution is probably true, if its defined as adaptation. the other forms are wrong and have no proof.

              First, you must seperate the idea of evolution, which has been tested in a lab by the way, with the idea of where life came from. Evolution explains what happened after there was life, not the history of life itself.
