I believe in "microevolution." This is the type of evolution that explains why there are different breeds of dogs, why some types of 동물 used to be smaller 또는 larger, etc etc. Every species can not remain the same for thousands of years we are constantly changing. Even people are! Humans are much taller now than we used to be.

"Macroevolution" is Darwin evolution in that it advocates that humans evolved from apes which evolved from other 동물 and so on down the line. I DO not support macroevolution because it circumvents the idea that we need a Creator. I believe that all species of animals, plants, and humans are too beautiful and unique to have developed on their own; the idea that we just kind of became what we are due to evolution from mud 또는 organisms is just not believable to me.

I hope this helps! :)

Humans did not evolve from apes. In fact, humans ARE apes. But humans share a common ancestor with other apes and primates. Just like 당신 were not born of your brother. Also, micro/macro evolution is far 더 많이 complicated than that. It's like saying, "I believe in microphysics, and atoms and neutrons and protons but not macrophysics and gravity and relativity." Though they follow vastly different laws, they are very intricately and inextricably connected.

I Don't believe in evolution, but I think that people who are atheists believe in it because they want an explanation as to where they came from. They don't believe in god, so they believe in evolution.

Just to clear it up a bit, most of us believe in evolution because we see proof like fossils and genetic studies etc. and therefore take it to be true.
Ninja-Kitten posted over a year ago

that is true but to add on not all atheist believe in evolution. and to @ ninjakitten; depending on the way 당신 look at it, 당신 can argue on the point. like fossil, one of the point 또는 rather assumption to back the theory of evolution is that the earth is a milion years old and they have tried using fossils to prove this but this is not true. of it is any indication fossil would most likely form in a very short period of time not in a long period of time thus diproving the evidence and the point. also in terms of genetic studies, in evolution it is said taht information is added every time something evolves. but it is not true it is 더 많이 likely that is reduced. this is because. a really basic eg is for example there are w bunch of 개 some are long hair and some are short hair and all of a suden ther is a coldfront and all teh short hair 개 die sue to the change. able to adapt only the long hair 개 survive so when they continue breeding they would only have long hair 개 thus a decrease in genetic information. not an increase.

My take is that yes, 동물 did adapt to their environments 의해 having one of their features change, etc., but not to the extent from shifting to a whole another species like monkeys to humans.

I believe in microevolution, but not the evolution "Theory" being taught. I do not beleive that chasos produces order, nor can lifelessness produce life. Even if I did not beleive in creation, I could not deny the intelligent 디자인 in the universe.
Major universities are not allowing academic freedom to review all the facts. If 당신 have a chance, I would strongly suggest watching, Ben Stein's "Expelled: No Intellegence Allowed." It is on DVD. It will give 당신 new insight to the debate.

I agree with what a couple people said above, that I believe in microevolution, but not macroevolution. Like I've said before, I just don't think it's very logical, seeing how the world is. The world really isn't getting better, as far as crime as all that goes, also known as sin. If we were all just evolved from monkeys, and there was no such thing as sin, I don't think there would be so much evil in people these days. Also, if we really did come from monkeys, I think we would've found proof 의해 now, but we haven't. Just theories. I can definitely see where people are coming from when they explain why they believe in evolution over creation, but in my opinion, when 당신 really dig deep enough, it just doesn't seem legitimate. Plus, I know that most people who believe in evolution also believe in the Big Bang theory, but I also strongly disagree with that, because there couldn't be a collision like that if there was nothing there to begin with. Also, as other people said, our world is too extraordinary to have simply formed on its own due to a collision. IMO, there's no way this all could've just happened out of the blue.

^ Just my POV. Don't mean to offend anyone.

I understand your opinions on micro and macro evolution. However to demarcate between the two is just wrong! That is why professional biologists heap ridicule on Christians trying to interpret the data. Micro evolution is just the same thing with macro evolution, but on a much reduced 또는 smaller scale and scope.

If 당신 believe in the mechanism of micro evolution , then logically 당신 have no choice but to avow the mechanism of macro-evolution.

However one important fact is to be noted and that's a point many christians don't understand. In scientific circles, a theory is an ongoing experimental and observed system of facts regarding a phenomenon 또는 phenomena in the physical universe. For instance Newton's law of gravity 또는 his theory of gravitation was ok for the most part as it described the gravitational pull between two massive bodies in 우주 around a centre of mass. However this theory was not sufficient to explain light bending phenomenon around a gravitational field. This is explained in Einstein general theory of relativity. So in other words the relativity theory has superceded that of Newton's.

Coming back to evolution, there are a number of failures in the theory of evolution, however no alternative theory is postulated 의해 professional scientists. Whatever observations, facts, experiments are all "tagged" to the theory of evolution whether they are really appropriate 또는 not. Basically, if a theory fails in the criteria for a good, predictive and testable theory of science, an alternative must be sought! So the 질문 remains why have the professional biologists not come up with an alternative theory. I believe, this has two answers: 1) an alternative theory would show that all their expertise is actually crap. 2) In the war between creationists and evolutionists the outcome would be so unacceptable.

There is one law that governs the whole universe and that's the 2nd law of thermodynamics called entropy which says that in any isolated system the entropy will increase unless an intelligent intervention occurs. For example the way we built things and invented electricity, cars and planes are all examples of intelligent intervention.

However on the other hand, our death, the death of a star, death of our sun, an 사과, 애플 rotting, are all examples of entropy rising. The whole universe as a whole can be taken to be an isolated system though many biologists would contend that portions of this enormous system are "opened systems". But that is not the case! The example they often cite is the planet earth - they say it is an open system in that it receives warmth, radiation and light from the sun (outside element) and also meteor 또는 asteroidal impacts that provide earth with minerals and metals. But these are just parts and parcels of the whole universe which is in fact a closed system. (to be continued)

The rebuttal for their example is that the sun will one 일 die out, the number of asteroids and meteors in the solar system are decreasing with each passing near the sun, etc. Therefore we can safely conclude that all is subjected to the law of entropy. With only one ridiculous exception - evolution that says that simple organism after genetic mutations and over billions of years will transform in 더 많이 complex organism. This won't do! It is not actually observed from beginning to finish. All they have is some specimen some billion and million of years 이전 and the plethora of species that are in extant...but in between it is like a jigsaw puzzle. I have an alternative scientific theory - but it is outside of the scope of this question. So again to differentiate between micro and macro is simple incorrect. And to use this unwarranted differentiation as an argument against evolution is not logical at all.

I don't believe in evolution at all. All I've studied, & seen over the years all leads to one thing regarding it: It's a theory (opinion, not full-fledged fact, speculation, some reasonable doubt involved). Nothing in The Bible has been disproven. Just my thoughts.

Evolution hasn't been disproven either, though. In fact, evolution, frankly, makes much 더 많이 sense.

Yea. That's why it's all described as THEORY still, even to this day. Read the book, *Creation Vs. Evolution*. It goes in depth about both topics, then just shows how theoretical the evolution THEORY is, while the Bible STILL remains unable to disprove.

well, I don't believe in it, scientists have developed the term 'missing link,', but that is thousands of things, because they don't even understand it themselves. I don't believe that we could have turned from a monkey into a human, it's like trying to turn a 쥐, 마우스 into a rat, 또는 a dog into wolf.

Monkeys didn't "turn into" humans, we shared a common ancestor- big difference. It seems to me many people on this spot don't truly understand the theory of evolution, either because they have never been taught it 또는 because they hold it in disregard.

I think Evolution is BS! It has been proven that the earth is less that 10000 years old. 당신 know how? The moon gets about 2 inches farther away from the earth every year, so 1000 years ago, not a problem. But 5000-6000 years ago, major problem. The theory of Evolution is just that - a theory. It cannot be proven, therefor, it is not true. This is my opinion.

None of that has been proven at all ever. In fact, the opposite has been proven. Rocks on the earth, and on the moon for that matter, 날짜 back to about the same time, which is why all the four lunar origin theories involve the earth and moon forming at about the same time some 4 billion years 이전 (not a thousand... 또는 is it ten thousand... like 당신 suggest?) Additionally, we have Paleolithic art and evidence of humanity dating back 50,000 years. I have no idea what this moon escape theory you're talking about is. The moon may be moving two inches a year, but that doesn't mean it's a constant rate, 또는 even an old phenomenon.

I believe that 기독교 and evolutionary theory are apples and oranges. One does not contradict the other, and I think that the whole 토론 over it is futile and only promotes ignorance, both of evolution and of Christianity, Creationism and Intelligent Design.

In most debates I've witnessed and/or participated in, many of the arguments (either in support of 또는 against evolution) are riddled with flaws. Most people who are against evolution do not understand it at all. And most people who support evolution as opposed to Creationism and Intelligent Design, do not understand those theories, 또는 the philosophies behind them (including Christianity) one bit either.

Both sides are full of nebulous concepts and surface understandings of what the other side stands for, and that's all I'm going to say on this matter.

Evolution is not the be-all end-all answer to every 질문 we have about life on this earth. That said, it's a sound theory, and not the ridiculous "humans came from monkeys" hokum that those who disagree with it believe it to be.

Disclaimer: Those who support evolution, but NOT as contradictory to Intelligent Design, Creationism 또는 Christianity, are not the people I'm talking about here.
