well, I do occasionally ask questions there. but most of the biology I learn is from books. I get more detailed info than I would here on Y/A, and usually the biology is better. while I find R&S a great place to hang out and have fellowship with other believers, or talk to lost atheists, the biology section is less full of knowledgeable people. people there tend to give short, terse answers and they love to present their answers as if there is no longer anything more to be said, and they claim the definitive truth, which is not helpful and somewhat. obnoxious. they are also less likely to source their material. I'm going to go and post a question there right now, you can follow it and see what I mean.

Don't you know? In Christianity, the Highest Ranking Biologist is a carpenter!





He also has hats as the World's greatest Political Scientist; the World's greatest General, the World's greatest Economist, the World's greatest Metreologist, the World's greatest Social Worker, the World's greatest Psychologist, the World's greatest Psychiatrist, oh yeah, the World's greatest Religious Leader!

Evolution is crazy to me, becouse a the creation of the world makes more sence then something aciddently happen. Example the big bang theory Or a monkey standing up right. Why don't monkeys turn into humans now. Adam and Eve were not monkeys, he CREATED and breath the breath of life in man ( Genesis 1: 27)! If you don't read the bible then you will never know but the lies of Evolution and it will seem like truth to you. I beleive that creationist don't believe that they should have to ow scientist a answer or ask questions, becouse there is evidents of Gods creation everywhere. Evolution is another way just to say that there is no God. A doctor or scientist can tell you how the body works but no one can explain where the spark of your life every day begains. How a baby is born, but they can't tell you how the life in it starts up. How the planet rotates and gets rain to water all the plants. To get night and day also for sleep and work. Evolution just says basically that all this is a acident and just happened in time. I don't believe in luck, just what surpose to happen and created. The evidents is everywhere and man wants to deny him. The bible says not to be in foolish conversations or questions. God will let a person be lost if they deny him and turn to their own knowledge. What is so hard about believing a powerful being that loves and created everything. becouse man wants to be a god. We are the ones that messed up and have to correct things. Evolution should not be even a theory, it should be thrown out.This is why bad things are happening today becouse we want God to help us but we will deny him. We can't respect all beleifs becouse their is only one God , One Belief , One law, and One word (also Bible). lesson to no church, but check the bible to see if they are true. If you told your son or daughter to clean there room, you would want them to clean their room, not He said clean the room but he ment don't clean the room, or half clean the room, or clean another room. So why would what God says be any different. He says keep his 10 Commandments - even in the last book of the bible revolations last chapter. We can't have it both ways, to say that their is a God , but the world happened by acident (evolution). Thanks, Kenny

I don't have to ask questions about evolution. I have already studied it. I have read in my college biology book that one chapter contradicts another. It is more confusing than reality. In order to do well in the bunk they call science in California State Universities...you have to pretend that the contradictions actually support each other. Thus you face the challenges of why our public education system is very troubled...why are most of the scientists coming from other countries? Why are many of the best physicians in the world coming from Christian universities?

Why is the top neurosurgeon in Northern California a member of my church? Does he believe that evolution is truth? No! Can he be the best at what he does without buying in to the false science that is taught today? Absolutely!!! Why is there a nuclear physicists (retired) a member of my church? How can a person in science function without believing all the rubbish that is taught in public education? Simple...he has the ability to discern truth from falsehood. I hope all of you will gain that ability before it is too late.

It's true enough that this is not the "experts in biology" section and there may be better sections with a higher overall level of knowledge, but most creationists wouldn't benefit from that level of detail anyway.



You have to walk before you can run, or whatever the saying is. An expert would have to dumb their answer down to the sort of layman explanation you'd get here anyway, or they'd be accused of using a bunch of fancy words that don't mean anything to confuse the issue (Oh, I've seen it said)
2008-04-19 09:11:29 UTC
Well, no offense but you could also ask why evolutionists are asking questions about scientific matters in the R&S section. Human beings like to argue. Its part of our nature I suppose. Although I may disagree with many scientists or what not, I do not hate them! I mean there is a place for science in our society. I believe in Science to a degree. But faith in God is more important to me than anything. I believe some things evolve like plants and animals. I just don't believe humans evolved from animals. Thats my opinion. I agree to disagree. BTW is that a cougar kitten? The picture is pretty small so I can't tell. I love cougars or Pumas :) Hence the name. lol...

actual definite i'm afraid to ask evolution appropriate questions in biology section, I already did two times and that they have been given deleted for the shortcoming of solutions. dropping factors isn't precisely how i like spending my time here in YA. As for the celebrities from fellow creationists, i can not care much less. pretend attractiveness substitute into never a temptation for me.
2008-04-19 09:35:31 UTC
There are More Aetheists trying dispell the Bible that's why!Yes it would make more sense, especially when they miss the part about Dinosaurs and the word Not being found in the Bible. The word Was not invented until the mid 1800's almost 600 years After the King James Bible was translated....so much for Intellectual Educated Answers.

As you may have heard, nowadays "No Intelligence Allowed" is the motto in Science. It is unlikely that anybody who isn't a thorough believer in evolution would get a friendly reception in "Biology."

There was a time when science meant intellectual honest, and admitting our own ignorance. Right now, though, this is in disfavor.

I have a high regard for Science, and I trust that in time Science will regain its integrity. In fact, people who have doubts about evolution might speed this up by asking questions in the Biology section, as you suggested.

Maybe they want to see a religious point of view on it. Or maybe they just want to piss people like you off. Which they obviously did or you wouldn't have posted this question. The fact is that the people that do it have their own reasons to do it maybe they're a social science student and want to see what religious people do when proposed with a scientific question. I mean the possibilities are endless. And why do you have to call them "Creationists?" you sound like you're talking to an Alien or something why can't they just be people. Wouldn't the world be a better place if there were just ideas and not labels.

From the answers I've seen here regarding their knowledge of that and other sciences, they just don't want to know. They're happy with what they believe. Sort of a "my minds made up, don't confuse me with the facts"
2008-04-18 20:48:29 UTC
Because they believe evolutionism is faith. Still, biology section isn't as frequented as this area. Perhaps they have faith in your understanding of biology and your capacity to answer? If you don't understand evolution, why would you even begin to question creationism? I understand evolution and am equipped to answer their questions.
2008-04-18 21:05:23 UTC
They don't really want answers. And everyone laughs at them over there.
2008-04-18 21:09:23 UTC
I ask in both, in there I get 2 or 3 answers, in here I get 10 to 15 answers, so it is better to ask in here.

In my experience in this section, they ask to get like minded answers in an attempt to make evolutionists look stupid.

Because it's in this section that the atheist keep bringing up Evolution.



If the Athiest would stop throwing evolution up as a reason not to believe in God, then the Creationist would stop asking questions about evolution in this section.

Why would a biologist know more about the Creation Theory? We can not cut up a human being and say hmmmmmmmm this disputes the Creation theory. Actually I would think it would prove the theory. Creation/Evolution belong in science and religion sections because the two should not be seperate. Science proves that God is real.
bipolarplanet2001
2008-04-19 05:17:30 UTC
Because they make a point of being ignorant for Jesus.



It is just plain silly to compare religion and biology. They aren't even in the same realm. One is arts, the other is sciences. Apples and oranges.



Spirituality has NOTHING to do with religion. In fact, one could make a good case for adherence to religious dogma as an impediment to spiritual advancement.



Personally, I think Creationism belongs in the Mythology section. There, they might be able to put it into a larger context. Oh, right, of course.

2008-04-18 23:50:14 UTC
Because of armchair "layman" Christians who think reading a book attacking evolution (based on no evidence whatsoever) makes them science experts.

I don't know when the last time was I read a question in here having anything to do with morality or following God's word so why don't the Christians post their attacks on evolution in the science and biology section?

Hi hi,



I am a science student, and had my first discipline in mechanical engineering. In my study, Newton 2nd law rebut the theory of evolution.



Frankly, Evolution remains as a theory, and I always wonder when people take it as a scientific truth?



Evolution in micro level i.e. survival of fittest, changes for the betterment of cells, species, yes it does exist.



Evolution in macro level, i.e man came from apes, this is really nonsenses. It is also in that level that Newton's 2nd Law does not agree with Evolution.



Personally, in my opinion, it it exist, it should be on going. meaning, in my zoo, I should see some half transform monkey. Or some businessmen should have wings as they fly so much from country to country.



Or our national swimmers should have gills or fins as they swim so much.



But do I see any? Ha. . .



It is easier for me to think that we came from God's creation.
2008-04-19 02:53:03 UTC
People who are creationists as you say are more than that .....it's highly likely that they call themselves christians and thats a lot more important to them then undestanding someone elses THEORY...<< the one with gaping obvious holes in it ..that directly contradicts what we know to be true .. some will call it their faith .. I know it's true(christianity ) and you don't know that evolution is true ...You will not put your life on the line for it .. so I say your therory is just that some thing you've heard that makes you sound smarter if you regurgitate it ... maybe thats what you think .. all I kow is You won't die for it .. so in the face of those who love christ and Will lay their lives down for him ..I suggest you get another hobby ....You want to mock someones fervent trust in god almighty by pimping some odd 200 year old random thought that you don't give a damn about at all except to boost you ego?? ...darwin was a man .. darwin is a dead man ... jesus is alive and seated at the right hand of god the father ..and no i never use this logic but what the hell if you're wrong ??? what do u lose .. everything .. If you're right what do you get a dirt nap and a moments smugness .. i don't get it has the whole world become control freaks do u need so badly to be thought of as right ....
2008-04-19 09:28:22 UTC
Creationists feel more comfortable fighting in their own territory. It gives them a biased edge. Anytime creationists try to use their rhetoric and preach in a purely scientific forum where ideas are judged strictly by logic and verifiable evidence, they don't stand a chance.
2008-04-19 09:44:48 UTC
Because this is where the atheists all flock. And Christians like to ask their questions on the subject of evolution to atheists.



Haven't you been paying attention?

2008-04-19 09:29:18 UTC
They don't want answers from scientists. Their dogma absolutely depends on the fact that the average person (in Amercia, anyway) is not very scientifically literate. If they ask their questions of the professionals, they will get their heads handed to them publicly and they know it.
2008-04-19 04:37:17 UTC
Just as those who consider themselves a part of a religion, they still ask the rudimentary questions that they believe they already know in here, not for the additional information but as a confirmation of their own idea. It's actually the pact instinct to gather around your own pack to convey that we (they) are not alone.



I find it interesting that those who appose the atheist views even though they know that this forum, this part of this forum contains atheists and anti organized religion views, wants them to leave rather than the religious finding a more pointed group themselves. By doing this you (they) are exhibiting the basic traits of dominance that every animal exhibits when they're feeding. My territory, my kill, go away. Just a different animal.

They ask it knowing not the difference between religion, spirituality and biology. They claim it is not religion and that there is nothing spiritual about. That it takes no faith to believe in something they themselves have not personally witnessed. They can only rely on archeological digs of the past. Then assume it is evolution, instead of recognizing it as a total new speicies that has not survived to live today.



So I see them more as pushing a new belief or religion on evolution which is an biology issue.

Everyone has an agenda.

Very quickly, in a group of people you will see them divide into "sides" (no matter what the subject) and the people on each side will support one another in their ways.



Potential friends are sadly, lost. Yet, we all have to start somewhere. We all have to sometimes find a friend, no matter the circumstances. sometimes we find a friend in our opposite, and not in our sameness.



oh, I rambled.



That was the underlying answer. I do not know the real answer. For that, you have to actually talk to them, and alas, if they do not wish to listen, there is a thing called "a brick wall" against which we may bang our collective heads. Perhaps one day, that wall will come down.
2008-04-19 08:45:29 UTC
I think it was an evolutionist that asked

the question in the first place, so my

answer is that the evolutionist should

have asked the question in the Biology

section.....not a section where most

Christians try to answer legitimate

questions honestly.
kaluschka
2008-04-19 07:19:38 UTC
Probably because the truth really hurts! I'm a Christian too, but there is undeniable evidence of evolution- that's just the way it is. That, to me, IS creationism- we came about through evolution- it just took a quite a bit longer than 7 days, and is still going on!
2008-04-19 08:13:57 UTC
Because they don't actually care.

They have it spelled out on paper for them, and agreed by 99.8 of the world's scientists, and they just want to prove that, god created the world in seven days.

2008-04-19 02:05:49 UTC
They're more worried about the theological argument of their questions, not getting factual and scientific answers. In most cases they don't understand the TRUE meaning to words like: theory, hypothesis, homology, homoplasy, adaptation, etc., I'm not trying to be mean....honestly. So, they really can't understand a scientific answer to their questions. Who care? Let them think what they want....I know what I know.



EDIT- There is NOTHING in ANY REAL theory of evolution that states men came from monkeys. People saying this just demonstrate the lack of knowledge I explain above.

2008-04-18 22:44:32 UTC
There are many Christian books on the subject, and if you watch TBN, there is a science show about evolution too. Christians come to this forum, because they want to communicate with other Christians. They do not want to be unequally yoked with unbelievers.



I'm sure there are plenty of Christian professors who can enlighten us on this vital topic....



I would also like to add, that I am certain that there are many Christians who ask questions within the biology section, health section, news & politics, etc...If you pay attention to some of the answers, you'll be able to tell who is a possible Christian, and who is'nt....We have a way of talking :)...Just like Peter...He spoke like Jesus...So do we.

I think it's because believers feel it's their God-given duty to make all of us believe the way they do. Christians quote their bible to prove that Jesus WANTS them preach to people, even to those who don't care.

I was once a Catholic, then a "born-again" and now am atheist. IMO, no one knows anything for sure, & we should keep our relig. opinions to ourselves, unless ASKED!

They could ask in both too, I do sometimes. But I think, when a person comes from a brainwashing, they search for similarity that can knit, that can mediate, that can bridge their curiosity to the next level of understanding. It is kind of like getting permission.



If the biology students cannot "come down" to this level of society, then the creationists will not be helped by them in many cases. That is sad to me.



The major totally worshipped figure by the brainwashed Christians is Jesus. Jesus is purported to have "come down from heaven", "come down off a pedestal", to help humanity! While his life is quite riddled with controversy in the eyes of a discerner, he did give of himself and attempt at times to become approachable and available to people who were less advantaged.



In honor of that way of approachment, I come here and answer questions, attempting to blend science that I understand in my humble way, psychology the same way, and religion.



I like Forgive Affirmed Spirit as a way, developed from this way of thinking and that is what I am or try to be.

Are atheists not in this same forum posing questions and attacking religious belief on the basis of THEIR limited knowledge of THAT subject.
Bible League
2008-04-19 07:42:59 UTC
That is because in the first place, evolution is NOT science.



It is not proven and the missing links are STILL MISSING.



Biology has proven evolution wrong. Here are a few facts you should know:



Evidence #1

There are no transitional links and intermediate forms in either the fossil record or the modern world. Therefore, there is no actual evidence that evolution has occurred either in the past or the present.



Evidence #2

Natural selection (the supposed evolution mechanism, along with mutations) is incapable of advancing an organism to a "higher-order".



Evidence #3

Although evolutionists state that life resulted from non-life, matter resulted from nothing, and humans resulted from animals, each of these is an impossibility of science and the natural world.



Evidence #4

The supposed hominids (creatures in-between ape and human that evolutionists believe used to exist) bones and skull record used by evolutionists often consists of `finds' which are thoroughly unrevealing and inconsistent. They are neither clear nor conclusive even though evolutionists present them as if they were.



Evidence #5

Nine of the twelve popularly supposed hominids are actually extinct apes/ monkeys and not part human at all.



Evidence #6

The final three supposed hominids put forth by evolutionists are actually modern human beings and not part monkey/ ape at all. Therefore, all twelve of the supposed hominids can be explained as being either fully monkey/ ape or fully modern human but not as something in between.



Evidence #7

Natural selection can be seen to have insurmountable social and practical inconsistencies.



Evidence #8

Natural selection has severe logical inconsistencies.



Evidence #9

The rock strata finds (layers of buried fossils) are better explained by a universal flood than by evolution.



Here's also something I'd like to say to an evolutionist:



So you believe that we came from monkeys and claim the same chromosome type. You're just twisting the facts. Evolution is "for the better" then why not even look at the fact humans can't learn many tricks monkeys know and vice versa.



You say that a starfish became an octopus? Then again, when did the starfish's eyes on each arms transfer and just become two? Or the starfish has always been a starfish!



Another- the dugong. You say it came from a cow! Just throw a cow into the ocean and let's see it turn into a dugong. It would drown even before it could become a sea creature.



Also, when did the dinosaur become a bird? The fossils were proven false. Also, the dinosaur died because of the lack of food after the flood.



Also here's more:



he test of any theory is whether or not it provides answers to basic questions? Some well-meaning but misguided people think evolution is a reasonable theory to explain man’s questions about the universe. Evolution is not a good theory — it is just a pagan religion masquerading as science.





1. Where did the space for the universe come from?





2. Where did matter come from?





3. Where did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia, etc.)?





4. How did matter get so perfectly organized?





5. Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing?





6. When, where, why, and how did life come from dead matter?





7. When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?





8. With what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce?





9. Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of survival? (Does the individual have a drive to survive, or the species? How do you explain this?)





10. How can mutations (recombining of the genetic code) create any new, improved varieties? (Recombining English letters will never produce Chinese books.)





11. Is it possible that similarities in design between different animals prove a common Creator instead of a common ancestor?





12. Natural selection only works with the genetic information available and tends only to keep a species stable. How would you explain the increasing complexity in the genetic code that must have occurred if evolution were true?





13. When, where, why, and how did

a. Single-celled plants become multi-celled? (Where are the two and three-celled intermediates?)

b. Single-celled animals evolve?

c. Fish change to amphibians?

d. Amphibians change to reptiles?

e. Reptiles change to birds? (The lungs, bones, eyes, reproductive organs, heart, method of locomotion, body covering, etc., are all very different!)

f. How did the intermediate forms live?





14. When, where, why, how, and from what did:

a. Whales evolve?

b. Sea horses evolve?

c. Bats evolve?

d. Eyes evolve?

e. Ears evolve?

f. Hair, skin, feathers, scales, nails, claws, etc., evolve?





15. Which evolved first (how, and how long, did it work without the others)?

a. The digestive system, the food to be digested, the appetite, the ability to find and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the body’s resistance to its own digestive juice (stomach, intestines, etc.)?

b. The drive to reproduce or the ability to reproduce?

c. The lungs, the mucus lining to protect them, the throat, or the perfect mixture of gases to be breathed into the lungs?

d. DNA or RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts?

e. The termite or the flagella in its intestines that actually digest the cellulose?

f. The plants or the insects that live on and pollinate the plants?

g. The bones, ligaments, tendons, blood supply, or muscles to move the bones?

h. The nervous system, repair system, or hormone system?

i. The immune system or the need for it?





16. There are many thousands of examples of symbiosis that defy an evolutionary explanation. Why must we teach students that evolution is the only explanation for these relationships?





17. How would evolution explain mimicry? Did the plants and animals develop mimicry by chance, by their intelligent choice, or by design?





18. When, where, why, and how did man evolve feelings? Love, mercy, guilt, etc. would never evolve in the theory of evolution.





19. How did photosynthesis evolve?





20. How did thought evolve?





21. How did flowering plants evolve, and from what?





22. What kind of evolutionist are you? Why are you not one of the other eight or ten kinds?





23. What would you have said fifty years ago if I told you I had a living coelacanth in my aquarium?





24. Is there one clear prediction of macroevolution that has proved true?





25. What is so scientific about the idea of hydrogen gas becoming human?





26. Do you honestly believe that everything came from nothing?







After you have answered the preceding questions, please look carefully at your answers and thoughtfully consider the following questions.



1. Are you sure your answers are reasonable, right, and scientifically provable, or do you just believe that it may have happened the way you have answered? (Do these answers reflect your religion or your science?)



2. Do your answers show more or less faith than the person who says, "God must have designed it"?



3. Is it possible that an unseen Creator designed this universe? If God is excluded at the beginning of the discussion by your definition of science, how could it be shown that He did create the universe if He did?



4. Is it wise and fair to present the theory of evolution to students as fact?



5. What is the end result of a belief in evolution (lifestyle, society, attitude about others, eternal destiny, etc.)?



6. Do people accept evolution because of the following factors?

a. It is all they have been taught.

b. They like the freedom from God (no moral absolutes, etc.).

c. They are bound to support the theory for fear of losing their job or status or grade point average.

d. They are too proud to admit they are wrong.

e. Evolution is the only philosophy that can be used to justify their political agenda.



7. Should we continue to use outdated, disproved, questionable, or inconclusive evidences to support the theory of evolution because we don’t have a suitable substitute (Piltdown man, recapitulation, archaeopteryx, Lucy, Java man, Neanderthal man, horse evolution, vestigial organs, etc.)?



8. Should parents be allowed to require that evolution not be taught as fact in their school system unless equal time is given to other theories of origins (like divine creation)?



9. What are you risking if you are wrong? As one of my debate opponents said, "Either there is a God or there is not. Both possibilities are frightening."



10. Why are many evolutionists afraid of the idea of creationism being presented in public schools? If we are not supposed to teach religion in schools, then why not get evolution out of the textbooks? It is just a religious worldview.



11. Aren’t you tired of faith in a system that cannot be true? Wouldn’t it be great to know the God who made you, and to accept His love and forgiveness?



12. Would you be interested, if I showed you from the Bible, how to have your sins forgiven and how to know for sure that you are going to Heaven? If so, call me.

Perhaps because atheists understand that biology can explain the workings (how) of an organism but can not explain from whence it came or why it is different from any other organism for that matter. Science satisfies (to an extent) how what is functions as it does but never answers how/why it was assigned that function.

Please.



For the *@#&^% time !



The theory of evolution:



1) can neither proove nor disprove the existence of God.



2) ONLY refutes a LITERALinterpretation of both Genesis and several others procolamations in the Bible.



3) is one of the most proven theories we have. Almost half of all human knowledge supports it either directly or indirectly.



4) much of this knowledge goes hand in hand with the advances we have made in our standard of living and modern medicine.



5) is totally misrepresented by so-called "scietific" inquiries which claim it is a false theory.



Most of the people who profess belief in the theory of creationism on this forum:



1) know almost nothing about the theory of evolution



2) do NOT WANT to know anything about it, especially information which would tend to contradict their infallible interpretation of their inerrant Bible.



3) are merely trying to get others who believe as they do to affirm their "superior knowledge" and to CLAIM that we "REALLY" believe in GOD but just "deny" Him because of some form of sinfulness



4) are so totally "brainwashed" by their smug self-serving .surity of salvation (which they happily deny to others) that they have given up the type of critical reasoning ability that would enable them to even question what they "believe."



5) ignorantly bring untold amounts of unnecessary pain and suffering not only to people in our society but in some cases even to their own children.
2008-04-18 23:47:00 UTC
Because atheists should know a little something about what they are confident about? You ask theists questions here, because of the same reason. You don't post such questions in the history section.

God created science - its under religion - not man's biology
2008-04-19 04:51:06 UTC
Because evolution is just another false religion/belief. It's not a scientific fact.We want to prove that it's wrong to believe in evolution. If it was scientific than we would ask about it at the science section. Evolution makes scientists look bad.
2008-04-19 00:18:55 UTC
The very first statement in the Scriptures is: " In the beginning

YHWH Created the heavens & the earth. Creation is the 2nd

Foundation of Scripture, & if you do not believe that YHWH

Created the heavens & the earth & everything in it then you have a problem.

1) YHWH God exists

2) He Created Heaven & Earth & all that is in them.

If you do not believe these 2 statements then what ever else

follows is flawed, this is the very foundation of Scriptural Belief

Not believing this will color your views on everything in Life.

Infact if you do not believe this you might as well toss out your

Bible, because what ever else you believe will not make sense. The Biblical view hangs on this "YHWH EXISTS & HE

CREATED" anything else is not Biblical.

Because biology would prove evolution.
2008-04-19 06:52:07 UTC
because people here tell us that our God doesn't exist and that it was all from evolution so we want them to prove it.



If the believe so strongly surely they studied it. We study our Bibles, go to pray meetings, go to church all to learn about God.



Just a random point you may not have thought of- i don't bother asking questions- unless they're rhetorical ones in answer to another.
2008-04-19 02:34:35 UTC
You know, I think it works out pretty well this way. I often meet people in R&S who have perfectly decent enough levels of understanding in all scientific fields, able to tackle any softball question the creationists throw at them (Mixed my sports metaphors just then. Drat).
2008-04-19 00:41:56 UTC
Creationists don't ask in the biology section for the same reason one wouldn't bother to ask about interracial marriage at a white supremacist meeting.
2008-04-19 07:55:56 UTC
They know that they would be laughed out of the biology section.
2008-04-19 06:52:03 UTC
Why doesn't YA seem to be working? The questions are all from 10 hours ago, and have 100 answers on them?
2008-04-19 03:35:13 UTC
Well I think some of it is Satan's oldest trick in the book. By getting adam and eve to doubt God and His authority and truth, he caused them to disobey God thus we have man's THEORIES like evolution. They come here to try to be a stumbling block for those weak in their faith or the knowledge of God's TRUTHS. Also some are trying to be their own god thus not having to obey the one true God. They think that if they prove evolution (which isn't impossible) that they then disprove there is a Creator who they will one day have to answer to.
Sim - plicimus
2008-04-18 22:35:36 UTC
Because they don't really want a legitimate answer to their questions. Their views of evolution are not science based, but based on their own very narrow readings of Genesis. That doesn't get them anywhere with the science types; what they really want is to have their views confirmed by the like-minded. No surprise then that they ask these questions here.
2008-04-20 08:18:14 UTC
because they don't want facts they want either to have their lies validated or somebody they can easily attack which the biology forum does not provide them.
Skunk
2008-04-19 09:41:58 UTC
Because some may base their atheism on the evidence for evolution.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing that I could learn from an evolutionist.

Why dont atheists ask their questions about spirituality in the mythology section?
Looney
2008-04-19 07:57:13 UTC
Two reasons:

One: Here, they can claim that the naysayers are "just those godless atheists trying to cause trouble."



Two: Their Yahooanswers site automatically goes directly to R&S - to do otherwise would expose them to ideas that might cause the greatest sin of all - questioning their faith... ;-)

2008-04-19 08:36:09 UTC
I am a faithful but not in the Christian sense. Christians will rather call me non-believer because I am not one of them.

I suppose they want religious viewpoint not biological ones. So they put their questions here.
2008-04-19 06:17:28 UTC
because they are not creators. creator is only one and He is in Heaven. religious texts will give you peace and tranquillity, where as education feeds our stomach. one is secular and the other is spiritual. both are needed to get on in this world.

put only one question to them.

"if man is evolved from monkey, then how and why monkeys are still existing?" all should have been converted to human."

OK?
mark h
2008-04-19 05:31:06 UTC
The same reason atheists are on R&S acting like religious zealots and evangelizing evolution as if it were their religion.
Tato
2008-04-19 04:04:58 UTC
all creationists start out being philosophers, then they do what they do(ake they first talk to talk, then try to walk the walk).



i guess they ask those questions in this section because of the word "creation".
Dalarus
2008-04-18 22:58:38 UTC
Because they decide what is true based on their emotions, which are controlled and directed by religious dogma.



Whenever asking an emotionally driven question about facts, they will look to their religion as opposed to the relevant section.



Religions continue to lie about science, despite the beauty of science and everything it has done to help human beings.



That tells me that religions are still immoral and untrustworthy.
Obed (original)
2008-04-18 23:44:07 UTC
Why do Evolutionists keep asking questions in the R/S section?



Could it be because Evolution is a religion and you have to have faith because no one has ever proven any species has become another species.
Judd M
2008-04-19 06:25:46 UTC
Is it because they have never heard of the Resurrection?





Next to the Resurrection, Evolution pales to insignificance.
2008-04-19 02:34:29 UTC
Probably because creationism has to do with God and this is a religion and spirituality section.

Why don't evolutionists do the same thing after all they are the ones who believe evolution is science? Creationists don't believe evolution is science.

I have asked questions on the Sciences and Biology site about various things, but as another poster pointed out, they aren't as well represented as R&S. And I've gotten some good sites to look at from R&Sers here, like talkorigins, so I guess this is the best place to go to start searching at the moment.
skitz
2008-04-19 02:19:54 UTC

I believe it, ya sure do I believe that going from the house phone to cell phones, that was evolution,

the Ipod from 30gb to 80gb oh look more evolution.



See friend evolution exists today, Just depends on how you want to look at your cup



1/2 full or 1/2 empty its your choice, so choose wisely o.k.

The reason they ask it is in order to prove that evolution disproves God. By asking a question about it to believers, they are in a sense telling them that there theories have to be wrong. I see no problem with it, after all, it does make for a good debate.
2008-04-19 00:12:08 UTC

To answer the direct question, it appears to me that most of the questions on the Biology page are homework questions. Different class of people with different levels of interest.



Besides, if a creationist tried to bluster his/her way through a Biology site, a number of people could quickly offer a thousand references to support evolution. The creationists have one reference and it ain't recent.
