How can YOU claim that it evolved, when you can't even answer the question "how did it begin in the first place?
How can you claim to know god exists if you can't even ask the question "how he came to exist" in the first place? How can you claim the bible was written when you think it was and accurately recorded the literal word of your god when you don't know whether its authors even used their real names, and its content was decided by a bunch of bureaucrats? Observing that evolution took place does not require knowing what started it, just as seeing a ball fall does not require that you know whether it was thrown or rolled off some place high. But just as observing the falling trajectory and spin of the ball can give you clues about what caused it to fall, so can observations of evolutionary change give possible hints about the origins of life.
You evolutionist have NO answers. At least I do.
"Evolutionists" have answers, you just don't like them; and you may have answers, but they are still unfounded assumptions.
Believing in God as an Intelligent Designer takes far less faith than to believe there is no God.
Not really. To believe in your god, one must believe that an old book that was: subject to bureaucratic compilation, translated to and from several languages, written during a time when most of the populace was illiterate and encouraged to stay so by the clergy ruling them, and a time when punctuation consisted of "periods" that did not delimit sentences but only where to pause (how long was determined by the heaviness of the mark); one must believe that this book actually managed to maintain the literal word of your god to this day. Not only that, but one must make up reasons to keep the book from contradicting itself. Like killing disobedient children and not eating shellfish is only a mandate for Jews. Believing there is no god takes about as much faith as believing there are no unicorns. Believing in evolution does not require one to disbelieve in god(s), only to disbelieve in a literal interpretation of an ancient text.
The 1st book.. Genesis. It clearly states than God created Man and Woman. He didn't say He created a little amoeba that "evolved" into man. Man was always a man.
But of course, if you don't believe in the Bible, and that it is the literal Word of God, then this point is mute.
Actually, the point is "moot", and one can believe in the bible, but not that it is literal, and still believe in evolution. Personally, if there is(are) god(s), I would hope they would be poets and not the guys that write stereo equipment manuals and recipes.
Evolutionary believers will believe what they want.
Actually, the facts revealed by science do not require people to want to believe them. They are what they are whether we like them or not.
We were taught in school that people in Columbus' time thought that the world was flat, and that they were afraid that he would fall off the earth if he sailed that far.
You must have went to a pretty abysmal school. The whole reason he set sail West was to find new, hopefully shorter, trade route to India...which they knew was to the East of Spain. That's why they thought Native Americans were Indians. A good portion of the population may have believed the Earth to be flat, but that portion of the population probably couldn't write more than their own name...if that. Look at our education system today, and we still have people that believe the Sun orbits the Earth, or that the Sun is the center of the universe.
I have researched this topic (origin of life)
Please, do tell the details of this research. What was your initial hypothesis, and what evidence did you find to support or contradict it?
