Evolution? Is it true? False? What should a Christian think about it?SimplyFiled Under: Evolution & Creation

Thanks for coming back!

No Facts

Simply put, according to science, there are no facts, there are no absolutes. The closest thing science gets to a ‘fact’ is called a LAW. For example, you know the reason why we don’t float away from earth? It’s called gravity, or more technically, the LAW of Gravity. It’s not called the fact of gravity, not the truth of gravity, nothing more than the LAW of Gravity.

What is a LAW? A law is the closest thing to ‘fact’ and ‘absolute’. It’s 99.9% true, in 99.9% situations. When is it not true? Well, none. But remember science is understanding through a completely NATURAL, PHYSICAL, and TANGIBLE REALM. You can’t know the future in a natural, physical, and tangible way. There are no ‘assumptions’ in science. So, when is the LAW not true? None, but science doesn’t assume that it will be true in the future, so therefore, science takes a humble and natural route of the uncertainty of tomorrow. Tomorrow something might happen and cause gravity to just not work. Something, somehow, someway. In that case, gravity will no longer be a LAW.

But Evolution is a fact

So, when I hear people, from any background say Evolution is fact. I just stop talking to them about the subject because they obviously aren’t someone wanting to discuss something based on the principles of science. It’s very wise to let this argument go because in their mind it is ‘fact’ and they feel entitled to their ‘new found truth’ and won’t let it go even if you tell them plainly “Gravity isn’t a fact sir…how can evolution?” They will rant and rant. It’s very annoying.

But then, on the other hand, Christians saying Creation in 6 days is fact are very foolish. This is an impossible task because according to the 1st LAW of Thermodynamics, you can’t produce something from nothing. (From what I’ve heard from others, this is true…I’m no scientist…but I’m going on the information I’ve received; So, If I’m totally wrong about this, please comment intelligently) So, within the 1st LAW of Thermodynamics even the Big Bang Theory doesn’t hold weight.

But the Big Bang Theory isn’t LAW. Evolution isn’t LAW. Creation isn’t LAW. None of it is. Big Bang and Creation will probably never ever become a LAW, according to science, since the theory is going against existing LAW’s of science. Evolution holds more possibility to become LAW but it’s still nothing but a hypothesis. I’m not sure if you could even call it a theory because some friends (that have PH.D’s in Science junk) say that Theory means it’s about 33% ‘true’. Hypothesis are just a rough idea with no proof. 

Another example: If for some strange reason, I thought the world was implanted by Alien’s and somehow the Alien’s did it all. I’d have to have proof backing every inch, every thought, answering every rebuttal, if I ever wanted my theory to become LAW in science. Science doesn’t make assumptions and science Alien’s are material and natural, it is a possibility it’s proven true and declared a LAW, according to science.

Within science, no idea is shunned. I don’t shun evolution. I just ask, Where is the proof? Science doesn’t answer a question, with another question. To science 1 + 1 = X  The answer isn’t “Well, what about dinosaurs?” Although science must seek an answer for every question, it’s all one step at a time. No hypothesis becomes a LAW overnight, thousands, millions of scientists research and criticize every aspect of the idea.

If Evolution is true (as Darwin even wrote in his book) it would have million/billions of missing links from the water pond to the human. Today, we haven’t created a cell…..we have not even one link between an ape to a human. So, my question is how can something be ‘fact’ when it’s not a legitimate theory (33% true).

What Evolution is and The Only Aspect I BELIEVE is true

The idea of evolution is from one cell….it adapted and made everything you see. Therefore every mammal is a by-product of this one cell. Just because this happens over millions of years, it doesn’t negate the aspect of science. It must be proven, in every case. Everything that surrounds evolution is hypothesis un-top of hypothesis un-top of hypothesis. There is nothing wrong with this. This is how science figures out LAW versus hypothesis. There is nothing wrong with a hypothesis with other hypothesis surrounding it. But to call it FACT, much less a LAW, is a 100% black-hearted lie. It’s saying this theory is true, until proven other-wise. Actually, science works the opposite way, false until proven true. But for some reason people want to have this hypothesis true, so they spread propaganda to see that the people believe it’s true.

One aspect of evolution is true, that is adaptation, at least I believe it could be considered a strong theory or even a LAW. We adapt to our environment. Our bodies modify. The animals modify. For example, I’m on the computer a lot and I read a lot therefore I’m becoming near-sighted. Why? Because my eyes are adapting to the situations I put them through.

Conclusion

Basically, Science doesn’t have the answer to ‘where did we come from’, it’s still figuring out different theories and testing them out. Science cannot prove ’supernatural’ ideas. But evolution, without big bang, (which is Darwin’s original idea) is a solid idea to answer this question naturally, through science. One day, science might arise with an answer, but as of today Jan. 5th 2008, it doesn’t have an answer.
