Does Evolution Require Atheism? Options

[Tung]

Well does it? Most religious people and hardcore scientists today are often incline to believe that atheism and evolution are rigorously intertwined. According to the majority (us), we are thought to believe that if one is to accept evolution as the explanation for life on Earth, it usually leads that person to become an atheist.

The problem I have with this assumption is that I don’t agree with it. Contrary to popular belief, evolution actually doesn’t explain anything about the origins of the universe, the world, or life in general. You can say Evolution is more of an explanation on the development of life.

I personally believe a person can accept evolution as an explanation for the advancement of life, and the diversity, while still being able to believe that the Earth and life were first caused by God. Therefore, there’s no reason why a person can’t be a theist and at the same time accept the theory of evolution.

Thoughts?

Wow whoa there okay podo. I'm a dick, and so are you for apparently blasting me out of no apparent reason. Yeah I'm arrogant, refer to sig. What exactly does my personality have to do with this debate (yes using the personality game like how it was used in mod perf). Honestly, I never claimed to be some kind of elitist just because I'm a Bio major. In fact, in the other religious topics, I was merely stating my opinions about what I thought about religion. /endofftopic

Anyways, Eddie can you go more in depth at what you are trying to convey?

Well Atheism doesn't necessarily mean Christianity, however, for a Christian to believe in Evolution, it contradicts the theory that God made man in the way that it was described in the bible. Also it was stated in science that Dinosaurs lived before man. Yet God created Earth in 7 days. Though dinosaur's and man's years are way farther apart by millions of years. There's a lot of things I can sorta bring up.

Of course it doesn't. Christianity isn't the only religion out there.
