God - does he exist?

[Shredderbeam]

I believe in God, but I used to have doubts, but now that my Religion teacher is such a good teacher, she actually was able to let us know that God is real. Like: How did monkeys evolve into something so advance? God's big plan and his most favorite thing he created was the human. That's why he gave humans the ability to think and for them to have life after death. The only thing I don't like about God is that animals can't have life after death and he gays can't have fun. The only thing I question about if God is real, is did he create Dinosaurs first?

Why WOULDN'T the common ancestor of apes and humans have evolved into something so advanced?

I don't actually believe that we EVOLVED from them

Why not?

Oh, well they were saying that apes had human like characteristics, so we probably came from them. BUT i believe that there are many animals that have human like characteristics, so its not likely. not even a common ancestor..

The similarities between apes and humans FAR outstrip the similarities between other animals and humans.

 

[Spereff]

Why not?

I don't exactly believe in the theory of evolution.
It doesn't seem to we intelligent humans, would evolve from something as apes, and we may be related to them, but we didn't have to actaully evolve from apes.

Again, we didn't evolve from them, we evolved from a common ancestor. How else would we be related?

What kind of common ancestor? And how did we evolve from a common ancestor? Is that just an assumption, a theory, or has there been hard core proof?

We can be related, because GOD, created the world like that, where somethings had the similar genes and cells.

 

[Fro]

I again its a theory anyway...not like its written in stone. Still whales, elephants..snakes...act like humans.....

Note:snakes stay with one life partner..its creepy and weird and their all long and sceioeidioewurvily...

 

[chips]

No he don't ... If he do why the hell good people are dying.

 

[Tyson]

I believe that SOMETHING exists, whether it be A god, or GodS. For one main reason, think back to ANY era, ancient Rome, Greek, Egypt, they all believed in gods. Ofcourse all different gods, but the same idea. In this i think there must be something, possibly another god other than me?

Something very similar to an ape.

How did we evolve? Do you not understand how evolution works, or what?

A theory is actually better than a fact, in science. A theory is something that unites several facts, explains them, and makes predictions.

There has been reasonable proof, such as fossils, our genetic similarity (which only reasonably makes sense through evolution).

Why would God create humans and apes in such a way that we appeared related? Such would be the mark of a deceiving God.

Not sayign that I believe this, but a god wants you to truely believe. It is a lot harder when all this evidence going aganist him is hitting you from ever angle.

How is it deceiving God? Why not? I wouldn't think it would be against the laws of God or anything. Some animals in our world today, are obviously related, why can't we?

Fossils? Of what? Something half man and something half ape? That could not be true. It might just be something to scientists, to encourage the theory of evolution.

It is not an example of man decieving God, but an example of God decieving man. Why would God make the Earth appear to be 4.55 billion years old if it wasn't?

Ever hear of Australopithecus? There is much research you must do.

It most likely is. What do you mean? What do you mean by, making it appear to be that old, but it's not? Don't you mean 6,000 years, as that is the creationism theory.

No, I haven't. Explain.

 

[thecheftz]

yes no question about it

 

[Shredderbeam]

The evidence makes the Earth look to be around 4.55 billion years old (various forms of radiometric dating, etc.). Literal Creationists would have us believe that the Earth is 6,000 years old.

No, I haven't. Explain.

Please, just do the research...

I'm tired of hearing "it better then facts" "Its amazing" blah blah blah. One...its not better then a fact, or evidence..which you don't have, every piece of evidence you have can also be used to make an argument that God is real.

In science, the word theory means something slightly different than it does in the everyday, simplified language of most people.

What pieces of evidence that I have showed support the argument for God's existence? Don't even START getting into the whole "irreducible complexity" argument, I've been going over that in my biology classes for the past three weeks, and frankly, I'm sick of it.

Mmhmmm. But there's a huge gap, possibly in the bible that we do not of. Read the bible, and you'll see. Most Creationists do believe that, I do not why.

Explain the main parts. Lolololol. I'm too lazy, this isn't really my main thing.

Stick around this thread and maybe you'll learn something. For example, you say how did dinosaurs exist? Well the christian point of view is that either: a. they lived and became exticnt in the 6,000 years earth has been around or b. They never existed. The truth, or rather the most likely option is c. Dinasaurs lived millions of years before intelligent humans. They evolved and adapted to the earth as continents shifted and climates changed. They eventually became extict(by what we do not know for certain. Likely a meteor in my opinion).

Well I believe in him

There actually isn't a huge gap between Australopithecus and modern man.

I really don't have time to lay out every single detail here...
