I was just wondering if people believed in evolution. I personally do as I am studying in a field of science. Being agnostic, I am just unable to see how people can believe in creationism not that I am denouncing it or anything. There was a similar question but it didn't have a poll so I figured I'd do one.

i have a hard time seeing why someone would trust science over God. science theories have been proven wrong, but God hasn't. really man is behind science as some point so you are also choosing to trust a sinful being more than God. I think it takes more "faith" to believe in evolution than creation. I've seen God work in my life and other peoples lives so I know He is real. there are so many beautiful sights to see that only Gods Hands could have made. I've heard facts from both sides and my belief still remains with creation. there is way too much proof God exists not to believe in it.

Question Asker But science laws have been proven correct while God hasn't. At least that's the way I see it rather than science being proven wrong. - 2 months ago
Answerer No its the opposite way around. there is proof in nature and in my life and in other peoples lives of God. - 2 months ago
Question Asker Coincidental proof has no factual basis. There was this one time I had to poop and so I missed my ride. 10 minutes later that car crashed and the passenger side was wrecked. By "God" making me poop, he saved my life. - 2 months ago
Answerer Well I don't believe in coincidences or luck..i believe it was God. - 2 months ago
Question Asker I guess God gave me diarrhea and not the ice cream (lactose intolerant) I had earlier that day. - 2 months ago
Answerer Well you can believe what you want, but I know the truth. - 2 months ago
Hunterboyz You have to see it farther thru...
God allowed you to be Lactose intolerant so the day you meant to be in a car wreck, he decided this person has a purpose, that has yet to be fullfilled.

I could have been to merely tell the world about that day.
Only God knows.
Realize, that God is the reason for science. - 2 months ago
Question Asker No I am lactose intolerant because it runs in the family. I didn't become lactose intolerant for that one day.
If God can see the future, then in his eyes, my purpose should have already been fulfilled and therefore I should have no reason to live as will everyone else. So he should just blow the world up because everyone that has a purpose has fulfilled it and everyone who doesn't, will just go on suffering for the rest of life. - 2 months ago
Answerer Not everybody has fuffilled their purpose. I don't think you get the point that is trying to be made. if you had God in you then you'd understand. everything that happens has a reason. - 2 months ago
Question Asker I think it is you who doesn't understand what I just said. - 2 months ago

I choose C! Raised to believe the story of creation happened as it is written, I found it difficult to swallow with all the scientific research that has been accomplished. I went back to college to study astrophysics, and the data that has been produced is vary swaying (evolution). What I want to say is why are we forced to believe in a literal interpretation? If God was explaining creation to an uneducated man, wouldn't the story as presented in Genesis be the best way to tell it? I believe in God, no doubt there, but I have a problem with taking everything literally. When we explain things to children, we explain them in steps, same thing with the Spirit inspired word of God. I've also found those who do study science in depth do believe in God, just not the spoofed version most of society accepts. I also believe this version puts limits on God that aren't required to believe in the same all powerful God. My God is big enough to handle it all. evolution and creation. That's why I don't worry about it too much. I find people who are so stuck on creation they can't be open enough to all the scientific fact, they really have a very small God who doesn't want them to learn about the world around them. Sad!

I choose B, creatonism. there is nothing like evolution its all fake. there is no time humans were primate. Charles Darwin is just lying from his nose. I believe that there is a higher authority, someone who can take life and also give life. We just have to look back at our life and see that there is a total supernatural being in charge of our lives.
Evolution theory is what a scientist made up at the lab. But for creatonism there is so much proof and I have so much testimony to tell the world. We relly do have a Saviour but we must ask HIm into our life if we need Him. People don't ask Him into their life until its too late.
one story
There was one day I went for a haircut and barber started saying that there is no god,if there is a god why are people so homeless,sick and dying. I kept quiet. After he finished giving me a haircut. when I was going home I saw people with overgrown hair and long beard looking so dirty. I came back to him and I told him that there are no barbers because I saw people with bushy hairs and he told me that people don't come to get thier hair cut. I was like hmmn people also don't come to God for salvation that's why they are sick and dying. Hahaha

Question Asker There are a lot of sick people who believe in God. If you go by what you say, everyone who believes in God and a Saviour should never be sick. And to say you have testimony to tell the world is just a laugh. There are theories to support both sides. Just one side requires more "faith" than the other. - 2 months ago
Answerer Okay, whatever you say. I don't really care about other peoples belief, I only do care about mine. I am so sorry for answering your question. I want to withdraw my answer. - 2 months ago
dclown47 So all those bones that are 2 million years old and show the progression of the human skeleton are just made up? In fact Creationism is not science. It was created by the people who very much in fact were opposed to Charles Darwin's ideas in their children's text books. What these people are doing are replacing science with religion. Wait I thought church and state were suppose to be different? There's nothing wrong with accepting science and faith. It's better than turning a blind eye to it. - 2 months ago
Answerer We all know that its not science. They did those things because they have proofs and Charles doesn't even have any. - 2 months ago
dclown47 How are fossils not proof? - 2 months ago
Answerer Fossils are so true because they helped to discover about Jesus and in short artifacts really helped to find out the truth. People might go about doubting it. But everyone will not always be the same. some people love to follow the right way and some love to follow the darkness. It doesn't really matter, we are still one world under one sun. - 2 months ago
Answerer I knew that some people will definitely oppose my comment. It doesn't matter at all - 2 months ago

Science every time. I have never believed in creationism or the idea of a greater being. Nor do I believe in the after-life, anything spiritual, vaguely religious, any god, ghosts. etc. I believe that the Bible especially is a moral text which some have interpreted in a literal sense. I want to spend my life living for the now, not living a God-fearing (or Satan-fearing) life worrying about what will happen when I die. When I die I will be buried in the ground or burned and my ashes will be sprinkled somewhere pretty so that I will be part of nature. I think nature is such a beautiful wonderous thing in itself that has occurred over millions of years and that is spectacular enough for me without having to worship a being I have never seen and have no evidence of or faith in. I will, however, and do respect and listen to the opinions of anyone else.

queeniegreen Your body will be buried but your soul won't be. Your body will be seriously burn in ashes but your soul won't be there. And by the way you need to go on a research to find out the oldest book in the world. - 2 months ago
Answerer Hahaha, laughable stuff :D - 2 months ago
queeniegreen Why wouldn't it be laughable. Sometimes it feels good to laugh at your foolishness.
like they always say " He who laughs last, laughs best". Funny haha....... - 2 months ago
Answerer Why are you so convinced that people have "souls"? And, as for things "seriously" burning - surely things either burn or they don't. And I know what the oldest book in the world is, I also know what the oldest profession in the world is. Age doesn't make something right and true. - 2 months ago
Question Asker The Bible isn't the oldest book in the world. The first bible was made in 397 AD. The oldest book is said to be the Vedas. - 2 months ago

I did not want to put this as it might sound. But isn't it better to believe in creationism and that a higher power such as God did create the earth and accepting him to go to heaven. Because if you don't you can end up below. What I'm saying is, it's better to believe then when we die, and possibly find out the truth to find out it's too late for you to now say you are a believer. If there was no God then you would have nothing to worry about either way. But if you didn't believe and there is one, what do you think the consequences would be? So I choose B. Also, there are too many miracles, that I have personally seen that you can't put all of them down as consequences.

I chose C, simply because neither evolution nor creationism seem to really explain everything for me. I suspect it's impossible to really "know" the truth about where we came from or why.

I don't believe a being [a god] suddenly decided to create us because that just doesn't make sense to me. There a lot of questions I have about that line of thinking.
And I also don't believe that we evolved from animals because even though we seem so closely related, that explanation just doesn't explain why humans are so distinctly different, why we seem to have this "soul". How could that have just popped up in the evolution chain?
Basically neither seem believable to me, I believe it's impossible to know for sure, and for the most part I'm okay with not knowing. :]

hazeleyes91 Ok so if we weren't created by God and we aren't from monkeys...how did you get here? - 2 months ago
Answerer I already addressed that. I said that I believe it's impossible to know.
I don't have any actual theories about it. I don't feel that I need to know how I got here in order to enjoy my life, I'm fine with not knowing. - 2 months ago

I believe in God without him in my life my mom would have never been cured from depression. I saw her with my own eyes almost commit suicide now you tell me.when she turned to God who helped release her from her personal demons. I've lived a hard life but through god and jesus christ I have overcome many of my own struggles. I encourage you to really examine your life and seek truth because there is a god out there who loves us and calls us.

I definitely believe in evolution, there's no real proof of creationism except for the bible, which wasn't even meant to be taken literally (for instance, women can't wear jewelry.yes, I saw it in there).

Hunterboyz I suggest reading that passage in full...
What you read was in the old testament, which is set in a time of living by the "law".
We now live by the grace of Jesus Christ.

I voted C because I am of Pagan faith studying in a science field. My beliefs are a mixture of pagan folklore and evolution theory.
