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?

no.

-edit

tung, im ranting here.

why is it that you're coming off as a 'hey, i go to college so i know more about you. i can insult God all i want now because i am a biology major and that makes me smarter than all of you. ' ?

honestly, tung. it's called arrogance. you have it. quit being a dick.

and for those of you who say evolution and atheism are not entwined are ignorant. evolution is now the marching banner on which atheism marches to.

ALSO, when evolution tells me that everything i do is subconcious, and even doing things such things as skipping in line is some sort of subconcious way for me to try to get ahead of the gene-battle?

that says a lot. that tells me something about how evolution speaks about life.

tung, if you are starting bio 1, don't come across as some dick with some bits of knowledge. i've read your topics in here, they don't come off as intelligent. in fact, all you do is have a ' f**k you ' demeanor while successfully avoiding the actual debate/question.

You are getting Freud confused with Darwin and it is hilarious.
Most atheists believe in evolution, but atheism was here before the other. They're not entwined, it just so happens that most atheists are smart enough to recognize that evolution is fact.

Yeah let me know when a monkey evolves again into a human.

Anyways, there's evolution but to an extent. I find it highly laughable that people would sit here and assume that we came from monkeys.

But the different forms of evolutions do exist...

let me know when you atheist realize there's more information than what darwin has revealed about the Galapagos ruins. Until then, don't talk shit like you know shit

but they aren't saying it in terms of some kind of "Godyear." The Bible was written by man and when they say year, they meant year.

You're making it up as you go lmao.

HA! "You're makin it up as you go"

Again go read something before assuming what I know. On top of that, don't associate the Bible with God... the Bible aint shit and I'd wipe my ass with it, as it holds no authenticity.

LOL @ People who read the bible... misunderstand the bible, then use the bible to slam religion/God. Pathetic fools

I'm pretty sure you'd be dead if that ever happens again, but whatever.

Evolution is a very complicated process and it takes millions and millions of years to occur, and the chances of similar stimuli ever occurring twice and the same genetic changes to occur successfully are very slim.

And the fact that our genetic codes are 99.4% similar and new scientific genetic research has proven that chimps should be considered members of the same genus (homo) as us is pretty goddamn convincing.

I really don't know why you find this notion so ridiculous. There is a thousand times more evidence that we evolved from monkeys than there is that God said Abracadabra! one day and there we were(of which there is 0 evidence, and trillions of dinosaurian years of evidence in which there were no human beings to the contrary). Anyone with half a brain is more inclined to believe the former.

You've just contradicted yourself lmao. Here, once again, you're making shit up as you go, this time saying that I don't know this or I don't know that, or I haven't read this or I haven't read that. Way to go, man.

On top of that, don't associate the Bible with God... the Bible aint shit and I'd wipe my ass with it, as it holds no authenticity.

The Christian God is just as authentic as the Islamic God, in the fact that there is no authenticity whatsoever behind belief in either of them.

I've read the Qur'an and the Bible and the Torah, and I found little truth in either. And all were fundamentally very similar.
