Quote from Imada

okay. Time for my facts.

The universe apparently started 13.5 billion years ago.
As a fact, it takes 1 billion years for a single celled organism to evolve e.g. an amoeba. THATS JUST ONE
So, the Theory of Evolution is wrong FULL STOP

All you prove is that evolution is a slow phenomen.
I don't understand how you come with that conclusion.

Do you have a citation or source for this "fact"?

Himself, apparently.

Anyhow, I personally like to believe in the theory of evolution because there's more proof of it actually occurring than most religions can provide. I don't go around trying to say religion as a whole is false by asking them for proof they don't have, mind you, I just need to have some sort of logic that backs up where and how I came into being rather than faith alone.

Everything evolves to its environment, everything living evolves and keeps on evolving, for a recent example, the moth it evolved to survive, you won't be able to find a white moth anywhere suburban.
Evolving also has something to do with manipulation, that may be why we have disfigured new born?

I really don't know what I'm talking about though, I'm only a little teen :3 (basically don't take everything said word from word).

Theory of Evolution...

let's look into that word

A scientific theory is "a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment."

Sounds pretty fucking airtight to me.

I don't believe in Theory in Evolution.
First. I am a religious one (maybe ;) )
Second. Evidence is not that solid
Third: It is still a theory, so It is not real yet

(My Opinion :) )

Now all you need is a logical explanation to God existing..

My Logical Explanation is, the family you have, your friends, what you have now and your life.
and there is no titled Theory of the Christian God

And if you want a very solid explanation, you will do is get some money, buy some materials and build a time machine and go back to the past, and you will know all.

NO HARD FEELINGS :)

That's an insufficient reason to why God exists, you can't just say "because, family, fuck you" you have to back it up (and don't even try turn to a bible >.>).

Quote from Izunato Namikaze

So I can't explain properly because I'm not in Jesus's or God's time. But still I believe in Adam in Eve which is religion.

Don't try argue against my beliefs.

Plus, Science believed in Theory of Evolution but Religion Believes in Adam and Eve.

Yes but you have nothing to back up why god exists, so don't try to contradict the theory of evolution, at least science has some sort of logical explanation to perhaps why we exist.
God exists mainly because you were told he does..

I find it every time enjoyable to see someone religious trying to explain why god exist.

Also, just as ACBeam mentioned, everything evolves to fit its environment. For example apes usually have longer and stronger arms than legs, that is because they
live surrounded by a lot of trees and using their arms to move from tree to tree is much quicker than walking on totally overgrown earth, plus most of what they eat is found on trees as well. I'd also say the fact that animals like pumas or snakes that usually live on the ground try to kill and eat them is an important factor as well.

On there it is explained how new species evolve, like us humans from monkey's but still having our ancestors today and how long evolution can take.

What the fuck? This isn't a religious debate.

Let's not forget about that open letter with 13,000 signatures from religious officials who support of the theory of evolution. Evolution isn't incompatible with religion and using one to deny the other is a little ridiculous.

Also it's aggravating how little people seem to differentiate religion from christianity. If you say "religion", you need to be cautious and aware that there is more than one religion, and using that term encompasses all of them. If you're referring to aspects of the abrahamic religions, be specific so your point is more clear.

I also disagree that it's ridiculous to use one to deny the other. There are a few instances in which what is taught in a religion would go against evolution, meaning that both can't be true in such a regard. Unfortunately there are a lot of people that would flatly refuse to accept evolution if it was against their religion, and as such to refute their claims you have to look at their religion, there's no getting around it. :\

Well yeah technically the theory of evolution is not incompatible with religion. The theory of evolution is correct in the case of all other life forms, but not in humans. The religion I follow (Islam) states that humanity was made by God out of clay and sand. So humans were humans from the start.
And I also personally refuse to accept that my great great great etc... grandfather was an ape.
But purely scientifically speaking the theory of evolution is right.
