What do u think? Darwin's evolution or Intelligent Design . Which one is acceptable?
Answers:
Evolution is 100% world-wide accepted fact, including the evolution of man.
There is ZERO evidence for a higher being causing anything. This is why people who are religious need faith, you can't see or study the actions of a deity, by definition. Evolution has ZERO faith and ALL evidence.
Scientists (real ones) have been studying and supporting evolution for over 150 years, and still nothing has pointed to creationism. There is clear links and transitional forms between everything in the fossil record to the Class-Family level, if not Genus-Species level. And this includes humans, which there are several 'missing links' which are well described and studied, people just choose to ignore this. Sure, there are still things we don't know, but that's why science is not stagnant and dead. We learn more every day, that's what happens when you keep an open mind and follow the scientific method.
ID is nothing more than disguised creationism and has no merit in science, because it is only based on faith, not data and evidence.
Let me turn your question around, if Creationism was correct and science could definitively prove Creationism (and thus the existence of God), why would they not? That would be the greatest scientific discovery in the history of the world. No one would pass that up to maintain the 'status quo'. There is no conspiracy to hide creation evidence. Anyone who knows real scientists knows they are glory-mongers first. They love to prove others wrong to enhance their own standing. And if any scientist could prove Creation/God, it would've been done a long time ago.
Go to a museum, take a class in biology, go to reputable sites on the Internet (like AAAS: http://www.aaas.org/news/press_room/evol. ) and find out for yourself.
evolution is more acceptable, but i believe in intelligent design.
It's not a question of 'acceptable', it's which is true and which is a load of old cobblers! Evolution is an established fact, completely proved by evidence, from comparative anatomy, genetics and the fossil record. ID is a shabby creationist trick to get religion to replace science in the classroom.
What's wrong with both..Who's to say that Adam and Eve were human as we know humans? Perhaps they were apes and the apple led to knowledge and knowledge led to evolution because they could think and therefore evolved from what they were originally in order to accomplish tasks that they were thinking about?
I think evolution is the truth.
your comparing 2 different things.1 is science base upon evidence.the other is religion, based upon faith
Both are fine within their own realms but shouldn't be mixed.
Definetly EVOLUTION
friend, that is for the scientists` to grapple with.
You and I know that human being is a marvellous creation. This marvellous being`s creations and inventions , are breathtaking. If so whoever created this intelligent being should be a super creator. We can call him a God, a creator or whatever name you feel like giving.
Darwin`s theory can fit within this realm of reasoning and there can be no contradiction.
Why not both? The universe is too complex not to have had a Creator (and where did it come from in the 1st place, if not created? Popped out of nothing in defiance of the very laws that govern it?). But the process of speciation is logical and reasonable IF "Helped" along, imo.
I definitely believe that God created the universe, this planet, and the animals on it; but I believe it is possible that He used evolution as a creationary vehcle.
Evolution is acceptable as a scientific theory, because it is theoretically possible to someday disprove it, because it is built on tests and evidence.
Intelligent Design is acceptable as an article of faith, because it is built on FAITH. There is no way to disprove it, because you either believe it or you don't. There is nothing anyone can discover that will ever prove it wrong. This is not to be confused with the idea that this means it is constantly proved right.
See the Flying Spaghetti Monster theory (link below) as an example of a theory based on faith rather than on systematic research.
Evolution has been a scientific fact (not theory anymore) for a while. So, I think that facts are more acceptable than wishful thinking.
What I think is that God (a supreme being, something bigger than all of us) created everything and set it in motion.sort of a wind-up toy that eventually wears down.
In the process, the objects created are endowed with the ability to grow, modify and adapt to specific environments.
So, in essence, I believe that there is partial truth in both ideologies.
Everything has the ability to evolve and all were created by something far more intelligent than us.
A side note: it is a pity that we humans prefer to devolve.
We create wars, kill each other for little more than a pair of shoes and pollute our water, air and earth.
Are we really evolving or digressing?
Something to think about.
Intelligent Design (with capital letters) - meaning that twaddle the bible-bashers are trying to hoist on us is an oxymoron when applied to their beliefs.
I do however believe in God, and Jesus, just not stupidity.
Evolution is a fact, it may also be the process God designed to ensure that Earth's life adapted along with the Earth itself to any change.
Stepwise changes by intelligent design but Darwin's evolution is operative.
I'm a creationist, and I believe the processes of evolution are valid. I tend not to align myself with the ID proponents. Way too political. Actually, that's why I don't hang out with vocal evolutionists either.
Astronomy or Astrology? Chemistry or Alchemy? Mathematics or Numerology? Round Earth or Flat Earth? Sense or Nonsense?Evolution perfected is most acceptable to me, because there is much evidence for it. Darwin lived long ago,so there have been updates in his theory. Intelligent design is just the latest verion of Genesis creation-creationism-creation science. One cannot update a naive myth scientifically. ID has a pseudo-science guise, so that it will be taught in science classes, but there is no evidence for it at all. Some people try to have their cake and eat it too by saying both are valid in different ways. That is sheer nonsense. They cannot both be valid, and many preachers know it. They want to continue to collect offerings for telling people fantasies, so they fight to keep people from learning better than the naive myths they teach. Faith is just blind belief, and one accomplishes nothing by blinding himself and turning off his ability to reason. If Evolution loses to ID, the USA is in big trouble. Many other lands have more people who believe Evolution than we do, so they are getting ahead of us in science. Ignoramuses have destroyed their nations in the past. Don't let it happen again!
Only evolution, I'm afraid - there is no evidence at all for intelligent design. Simply saying things appear too complex not to have been designed doesn't cut it.
Take the snowflake, for example. Each one has a unique complex and beautiful pattern. Nobody would try to claim that this is evidence that each snowflake was designed.
Both are "acceptable," but only one has any evidence that it's valid -- EVOLUTION
If everything was created by intelligent design, then it stands to reason the source of the intelligence that created the design should in itself have been created. In other words if God created everything, who (or what) created God?
I find the Darwinian approach a lot easier to take on board, than the concept that everything was created by some big guy upstairs. I once placed a half cup of coffee under my bed (to prevent it accidentally getting kicked over). I forgot all about it until months later, by which time it had evolved into a big green carpet of fluff, unfortunately my behaviour didn't have the my home grown mold down on its knees singing my praises and offering me thanks for creating it. It just had my mum yelling at me for being a slob.
It depends. If you are asking which is acceptable as a science then it is evolution. If you are asking which is acceptable as anything other than as a science then you need to ask this question in a different forum. You might try religon. As for all the people who believe that evolution is a fact I have one thing to say to you; Evolution is a theory based on facts. Stop calling evolution a fact, it isn't.
Both are not only "acceptable" but essential. Not "Darwin's" evolution, which was a simplistic initial theory, but modern evolutionary biology. Creation and evolution go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other. Things can't evolve (change) until they exist. Things don't exist until they come into existence (are created). Creation addresses the issue of initial cause and initial origins. Evolution addresses the observable fact of ongoing change in things which already exist. there is no conflict between the two, and one cannot exist without the other. Things cannot change until they exist, and things cannot come into existence without immediately beginning to change.
EVOLUTION U FLAMING PLUGHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!.
Without getting into a religions discussion just consider this:
Children resemble their parents but are not absolutly identical.
Not all children will live long enough to have children.
Those 2 statements describe evolution and it is very hard to disagree with either of them. If you accept both those statements then you have no choice but to accept evolution. There is nothing more to evolution than this. The only way intelligent design can get in here is by saying that children that 'the intelligence' does not want do not lhave children - this might ot might not be correct but is unprovable even in theory so is not science.
Religion is a primitive societies emotional crutch that allows it to survive during difficult times. As we mature it will no longer be necessary. Some societies have matured faster than others.
