are you a fundamental christian who sees it as the work of Satan?
Are you a christian who sees it as a diabolical plan to attack god and spread evil?
Or do you accept it as an on-going theory whose truth and validity and elegance is buttressed by collected evidence and observation ever since the theory was first formulated and presented by Darwin.?

do you see Darwin as a genius or as someone doing the devils work.?

Has any creationist one scrap, even the tiniest piece of evidence. which would make the theory of evolution break down and become invalid and which they would like to share with the rest of us?

The theory of evolution is a general idea of how evolution works. Evolution is a fact. The theory of evolution simply attempts to explain it.

I accept evolution as the best explanation for the diversity of life.



I don't think Charles Darwin was a Genius because he wasn't unique in this thought. Alfred Wallace had the same idea after being exposed to a similar environment.



However, he is a great scientist. Collation of over 20 years of facts and evidence, collaborating with other scientist around the world, and coming up with the theory that explained the facts.



@decepticon88, Evolution is a theory not a fact. A theory explains facts of a subject matter. You shouldn't be so arrogant to call anyone dumb a55, since there is every reason you could be wrong.

Evolution is a theory as, despite much evidence, it is not an accepted fact by the majority of people.



Though not a Christian myself, I don't see it as an attack on God or Christianity. Science is out to prove fact, or indeed disprove it (by being unable to disprove something despite trying everything and analysing all evidence, we can say is it true).



Darwin is a genius, as someone who came up with a revolutionary idea which completely turned the question of creation upside down.



Frankly, the theory of evolution is a more logical answer to evolution, and I don't mean that as an attack on people's faith; believe whatever you like, that is just my opinion based on what I know.

You should know that a "piece of evidence" would not invalidate evolution, however, in the unlikely case that some amount of evidence did, the replacing theory would also have to explain all of the evidence that we have in conjunction with the new evidence. This would imply that the replacing theory would be relatively indistinguishable from evolution to the lay person (think what the differences are between Newtonian and Einsteinian gravity).

Only the fact that Evolution is based on outdated scientific research from Darwin in the 1800's which has now been found inaccurate in all avenues. Scientists are finding more and more wrong with Origin of the Species. And even Darwin himself stated the theory of evolution would be destroyed if it were discovered that multiple species were alive at the same time or came into existence at the same time. The scientists that do not believe in creation but believe in science, and those that have tried to prove evolution have only done the opposite, and proved creation. The chances of evolution occurring ever is in fact, impossible. This is not a biased report if you look at all the bases and allow evolutionists to explain their scientific findings. The results are irrefutable. If you want a deep look at evolution and creation and see which is fact and which is faith then look at the brochures - Was Life Created? and The Origin of Life Five Questions Worth Asking. They are not designed to degrade any scientists, but to compare evolutionary theory and scientific discovery. Since the Devil is ruling the world and is the authority of the air, it is entirely possible that Satan wants evolution to succeed in keeping people from believing Jehovah God exists.

(Romans 1:20) “For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable;”

The bible says that the full component in nature grew to become into as quickly as created via way of god on an identical time as the assumption of evolution negates it . Evolution is a robust - based and robust - documented fact backed via way of forged and official evidences that are greater possible and convincing than the biblical account of production . The church vehemently denies the assumption of evolution because of fact it makes the bible unsuitable . however the fact maintains to be that the bible has already been rendered defective and unreliable via way of the invention of evolution this is stable - supported via way of an excellent quantity of verifiable evidences . for sure , the bible could additionally be referred to as purely a form of primitive legends that are in spite of the undeniable fact that alluring infantile .

Likenesses don’t prove anything nor do similarities prove kinship.



Notice that all the planets have likeness in their roundness and yet have varying appearances?

All plants look the same when sprouts.



No real science in that “tail” theory. How about the state of the conscience. Why do people increase with knowledge and monkeys don’t?



Why don’t monkeys have a pope?

Why don’t monkeys read the want ads?



The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God because the logic of man is prejudiced by false education and the moral-code.

As a Christian, I don't see it as "Creation vs Evolution."



Creation is more of a "who," meaning God is the one who put us here.

Evolution is more of a "how," as if trying to explain HOW God created us.

...why are you asking Christians ? (they had absolutely nothing to do with the writing of Scripture). Gods Word is the testimony of Creation !

Mankind's (finite) mind is the attempt to "trot out a theory" !



You'd like evidence...? Ok... lets see YOU take a "dead" seed... stick it in the ground and have it come up a green-shoot that blossoms into a magnificent Tree that provides you with food to eat ! (be sure to "create" your own seeds, dirt, water, sunlight and the realm of "time" to produce this Tree.) ...let me know how you make out, Ok ?

Yes- I have a scrap of evidence. Evolution. It, in and of itself, is its own demise. Things derived from such ignorance cant be looked upon with any amount of intellect. Nothing, dear Watson, is NOT created which is why you are a foolish follower of a foolish theory. God Bless

To your last question only:



answer: None that you could see, even if I were to show it to you. It is impossible to give a blind person an understanding of the color red, or even color itself, for that matter. I say this not to offend, but to stand up for the truth of scripture.





1Cr 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: NEITHER CAN HE KNOW THEM, because they are spiritually discerned.

Evolution is the change in allele frequencies over time due to environmental attrition.



The Theory of Evolution describes how these shifts in allele frequencies, which are the result of natural selection working upon the raw material provided by random mutation, led to the diversity of life on Earth through gradual changes in modifications over descendant generations.

It's just something some scientists who were mad at God made up so they could take baths together in Beanie-Weinies without fear of (unearthly) consequences.
