Why don't creationist ever do their homework?

Why do they always state the same pseudo-science, nonsensical arguments against evolution? I am sure that most evolutionist and most atheist have read most of the Bible or at the very least are very familiar with it, yet creationist seem to believe that they can make a rational argument without doing any real research about evolutionary science.
This is apparent in such statements as:
We descended from monkeys or apes
Why don't we have a tail?
Why are their still apes?
How about the eye?
It goes on and on. The answers are there if you took the time to find out.
Or are you so close minded that you can say "God did it" and leave it at that?

While I am convinced that a Higher Intelligence created the universe, I am not the creationist that you cartoon in your "question." There are several legitimate questions that arise when we hypothesize a single life form evolving into every species in existence. Scientists know this. They deal with uncertainty in their "theories" as they are popularly called. Why can't you? Clinging to a worldview (whether evolution, creationism, or other) in spite of contrary evidence is a matter of faith and not science.



Show me the proof of evolution. Darwin didn't find it. He knew how it could be disproven. Do you? You have much to learn and consider before condemning people that you perceive as opponents. You have much homework to do before settling this question. So do the scientists, so do the theologians, and so do the fundamentalists. Why is your position more lofty or less close-minded. Offer a cogent argument. Show us evidence of your homework.



PS Your two additional comments are laughable and prove further that you have not done your homework. If we could only see ourselves as others see us... Please show us the poll of scientists which shows such uniformity, along with its polling methods. Tell us poor ignorant masses what a theory truly is.

I think many of your statments regaurding all or many or most are faulty. First there are many evolutionists that are familiar with the idea of creationism but have never studied religion or christianity to any degree just as tehre are many who have. The same applys to creationists. There are many educated men of science who are creationists just as there are many who make assumptions and don't know what they are talking about. The reason you assume there are not is that they don't feel the need to compare notes with you.

I view evolution, the big bang, and the other principals of scientific "creation" as tools used by my God. I aggre that the world is older than many religious people believe. I agree that the earth was created in a massive event such as the big bang. I do not believe it was chance. And this is where I draw the line. Chaos is naturally messy and tends to lead to lesser forms of orginization not more complex forms. The process of survival of the fitest is about a gradual change in the environment and the individual species that results in a more successful adaptaion. This is not Chaos or chance it is seltive and percise. I find science as important a subject to study as religion. The rules followed by our universe are complex and there are many we probably have yet to learn. I look forward to the time when all knowledge is available.

Interpretations are to satisfy a “need”. That “need” is to explain Evolution with the knowledge currently available, which is all mutation based, fossils notwithstanding. Creationism releases all Life forms from being Random Mutants to Specifics. This has serious implications for Human Evolution Theory.

The technological advances that Man has made in recent years have resolved many of Man’s “needs” and therefore the biological response is inhibited for those needs.

Man’s profound impact on all other forms of Life has serious implications for the future of Evolution. Man constitutes a Force more powerful and destructive. The last two hundred years of Man’s history could have been written differently had Nature been better understood then.

Nevertheless, though our current knowledge base is surely better than what Lamarck and Darwin had, modern researchers of the evolutionary persuasion have had the inclination to look in the wrong places and accept many ideas as truths with no acceptable evidence that would and can not stand up to scrutiny.

What is a scientific theory? It is merely a guess made by a scientist, showing he thinks maybe it is right but he can't prove it.



That's why evolution is still a theory, because it can't be proven, or else they would call it the Law of Evolution. That is the way science works. Ever hear of the Theory of Gravity? Of course not, because it was proven and is now called the Law of Gravity.



Evolution is voodoo science, with no proof. Evolution says life evolved, but yet they can't explain how the very first life form can into existence since life can't evolve from non-life. That is a fact proven in labs by the scientists were tried, and failed every time.



So, looks like Darwin has made a monkey out of all of you evolutionists. You are the ones with closed minds.

The same reason evolutionists dont consider any possibility of God, or try as hard as they can not to. Why because both sides are closeminded and clearly bias towards one another.



If you were truly opened minded you look at both sides of the equation instead of picking sides and hold your ignorant bias' relative to the way YOU want the answer to come out.



I for one believe in both evolution AND God. Most people think you have to be on one or the other. WRONG again people. Evolution is God and God is evolution. We evolved, Im not stupid, but to assume science somehow solves the answer for no God is absurd. In fact whats more absurd is you so called intellectual science wizards claim we evolved from nothing (since you dont believe in God) Yet where in science has anything ever evolved from nothing? Its non existant in this reality yet you claim we did....hmmmm. Cause and effect my friends, cause and effect.

I don't understand. Is Yahoo Answers a forum for a debate, or is it a place to ask questions and get information from one another?

There are closed minded people on both sides of the question, and there are intelligent scientists on both sides. From the tone of your 'argument', I get the impression you won't be willing to believe that. However just think if creationists used your comment as the basis to debate against evolution ... it wouldn't be fair, would it?

Setting up straw men to argue against doesn't get anyone very far.

Why dont we for once, stop looking at how the earth was created, and focus more on our reason for being here? The bible talks breifly about how the earth started becuase thats not the importance. We as humans obviously are more intellectually inclined to reason, learn and live then are any other animal on the earth. We have purpose and reason. Why don't we start having conversations out thatn rather then arguing about if we came from apes? The creation happened so freaking long ago, we are here NOW, at this moment. Focus on that.

I agree. And to show that I at least research the other side of the argument, I'm putting down a link to a creationist website:



http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/dont_use.asp



The funny thing that this is a page of all the creationist arguments that they think creationists shouldn't use. Most of the uninformed arguments creationists here have used are actually on this list. This shows that creationists don't even research about their own stance in this argument.

Hi,



While I definitely agree with you that most creationist don't know squat about science I have to wonder about your statement about how informed evolutionists are. I don't think most people work too hard to know the other side's argument in most debates. I have a lot of friends who are agnostics and atheists and evolutionists and they are very un-informed about religion. I've been studying it for about 5 years and I've just barely scratched the surface.



Just want to keep things balanced here.

If they did their homework, they'd realize that their faith was in entirely the wrong thing. They're not following God, they're following the book. They say Jesus is God, and Jesus used parables to explain the big truths so people could understand them, but they have no grasp on the fact that maybe God told moses a parable about how the universe came to be.

i believe god created the world like it says in the bible but built in millions of years of history into it so people could feel passionately about what they believe but we're all correct! there is so much proof of evolution but all the proof creationists need is their faith.

I don't reject Science but I do include a creator. To believe we came from nothing and from noone is hard to belief. It takes more faith in Science to believe the way you do than for me to say it all came from God.

Okay, how about this...



Prove to me that evolution is more than just a theory and that God doesn't exist.



Tell me what started it all and show me each and every step of the evolution process without any missing links.



Then show me concrete evidence that will dismiss everything the Bible says.



That would end the arguements, wouldn't it?

Why don't you do your home work before posting. Most Scientists no longer support the theory of evolution. and the one's that do follow it only because it is the only choice other than creationism that can be close to feasible...

There are plenty of astute resources to support the creation view. The fact that you dont agree with any of it makes it a pointless conversation. God did it is fine with me, based on what I have studied on both sides of the equation.



Ther are plenty of answers and researchers, just not all agree with your POV.
