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? |

Bro that's due to wearing shoes man.. wtf lmao no. If our pinky toes got smaller just because we wore shoes, then everyone would be born with a long pinky toe like the other toes and it would get smaller only if they wore shoes. The reason why we still have them at all is because there is no real evolutionary pressure for it. Evolution is lazy - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Scientists believe that the toe has only shrunken at all because it could have been getting in the way of running fast and making an escape. But now, people don't need to do that anymore really, so hence the lack of evolutionary pressure. |
