I hate these topics. They get no where, I think their pointless, and I think PC would be better off without them, I know no one will come out of this thread with different views then what they came in with. All I see it doing is hurt PC and/or the members.
But after seeing a few "stupid" replies I thought I'd toss in my views.
Yes, I did just say this thread is pointless. Yes I am replying. Yes I am bored and have nothing better to do (and some of it may be said more then once, but I first typed it up at 4 am last night and I'm adding more. So if I do say some things twice it's due to me not remembering everything I said last night. And it's a long rant, so if you want straight to the point, read the last part all the way at the bottom).
I love Killer-Swift's first post in this thread. I truly truly do. He knows he's right and anyone that disagrees with him is stupid. This is the point if view that can hurt or help you. And that is the point of view I go by on PC and other things. I am always right and I don't care what anyone else says. And with that, both me and with that both me and Killer-Swift have something in common.
But it ends right there, because both of us can't be right.
Lets get started shall we.
~ The Big Bang ~
Here's a question for all of you that puts your "faith" in evolution. Where you there? Where you there when the bang happened? Where you there when the earth was formed? Pictures, Videos, Books, People, anything? Come on guys, you got to have some proof that you know that's how it happened.
I'm guessing none of you have proof that it happened (other then scientists telling you so). So I ask you this. Where did the first clump of matter come from? Was it just there for billions and billions of years and then one day just blew up? The matter had to come from somewhere, but where?
If you guys can't prove where the matter came from what is evolution based off of?
What I believe is a God (the Christian God, I just want to get that out up front) made the world, the universe, the plants, animals, the people and everything out there. Set it up just the right way from the start (I don't believe in all this "Well a God started evolution and people came that way". No, I believe in the 6 day creation. And 6 days I mean 6 days like we have now, not "Well 6 days could have meant 6 billion years", that doesn't fly with me). The world the right distance from the sun, tilted slightly, and all that stuff.
~ The Origin of Life ~
First off, I'm going to tell a little analogy. The whole world is covered with quarters (google it for you ones out of the US), every single inch (water and everything, these quarters float, there). You paint one of them quarters red (where all the rest are normal). You set a blind man down somewhere on the earth. And you tell him to pick out the red quarter, it could be anywhere on the earth. Not only do you tell him to pick it out, but to pick it out 100 times in a row without missing one time. I believe it could be done, do you? Think about it.
Ok, lets see if I can get this right. This is what evolutionist believe right?
- About [Put number here] billion years ago the earth was formed.
- Chemicals formed in the "primordial soup".
- Chemicals bonded together to form molecules.
- Molecules bonded together to make living cell.
Right? That's pretty much the rough draft of how it goes right?
Since evolution is a proven fact, and we around here love facts and numbers and that sort of stuff. Here are the probability chances of things being formed (forgive the difference in color and font below, I had to make images because text wasn't coming out right).
Probability of amino acids forming into a protein:
.
Probability of getting a cell by naturalistic processes:
.
According to the laws of probability, if the chance of an event occurring is smaller then 1 in
, then the event will never occur.
That's just two little old things. The human body is so complex with more stuff then you can shake a stick at. Right now we're sitting on amino acids and cells being impossible to be formed? Wow, what about everything else in the human body?
Remember that quarter story? The chances of that man finding that red quarter 100 times in a row without missing it is better then that stuff up there. You can believe evolution yet you can't believe that poor blind man can't find that quarter? Tons and tons and tons and tons of things has to go right just for a single cell to come alive. How old do you guys think the universe is? What is it, 20 or so billion (give or take a few)? To get everything right just for one or two "simple" things like a cell or a protein I think it'd take far far more then 20 billion years. But that's just me.
~ Fossils ~
Why are there no fossils where monkeys are turning into men? Why are there no fossils where you see fish turning into snakes or whatever? Did everything just BAM transform over night? One night a monkey goes to sleep and wakes up as a man or whatever? If that's how it goes then sure, I might take a look at evolution, can't be that bad if one day I'll just go BAM and turn into something fancy.
But really. All of you people say "Things evolved over millions of years.". Sure, I'll believe you when I see some fossils of half way points in things, see some fossils where a monkey does change into a man. I want to see the 4 middle parts from
this image, and not just the first and last parts. If evolution is a proven fact I'm sure no one would have any probs with giving me some links to sites with fossils of things evolving. Maybe something like fish to snakes (or whatever you guys are taught in schools, I just want to see what fish will turn into, because I like fish), or monkeys to humans. Anything big will do, I don't want a Japanese Beetle turning into a Cockroach, or a mouse turning into a rat. Too small for my tastes, I want something big. It shouldn't be that hard, because remember, evolution has been proved scientifically. A quick google search will likely bring up a long long list of sites and museums with fossils I'm looking for. And I'm sure all of the evolution gaps will be filled as well with the links and images you guys give.
~ Dinosaurs ~
Dinos came into being about 200 million years ago or something like that? And man/monkey came on years and years later, right? Then how come cave drawings show dinos and people together? I mean if they were millions and millions of years apart then how does man/monkey know about them and know how to draw them? How did they know this dino and that dino could fly, yet this one over here and that one over there couldn't? They were all stupid unevolved things right? So how do they know a T-Rex can't fly? They had to have seen them, they had to have been there. And on top of that, rocks and fossils have been found where human and dinosaur footprints are right next to each other (and I think in one or more cases the dino had a print in the ground and a human footprint was inside that dino print). Evolution people said dinosaurs and man had a big gap from one to another, then tell me how did that happen?
~ The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics ~
I'm going to make this one quick seeing how nothing much can be said about it (and I'm not going to get into it). What it means is everything is breaking down or dying (well dying is breaking down). It's going down to a more simple form. And this holds true to everything in the universe. Just park a car on the side of the road. Soon enough things will start to break down. Things will rust, fall apart, and given enough time will no long be a car like it started off as. Now according to evolution, things are getting better, things are evolving and are getting better and better each day. Doesn't go by the same standers as the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, things break down, order becomes disorder and yada yada.
~ Stars ~
We know what they are, we know there are different types of stars out there. And we know there are a TON of them out there. And we know stars have died off and collapsed in on themselves and likely ending up being a bad day for that star. The 2nd Law up there, things break down. Thus why we see stars die. But here's a question, why haven't we seen any stars born? We see them die, but not born? Evolution states that the universe is in an ever changing state. So surely we would be able to see a new start or two every now and then. Or are they just too far off?
My reasoning on all this is simple. A higher being (God) created the earth and everything else out there. It didn't happen by chance, it didn't just come to be because some group of molecules thought it was time to go boom, it was all designed and made.
Setting the Bible aside, where is the proof for evolution? Where are the fossils? Where are missing links? Where is the backing evolution has? Because it has a bunch of numbers backing it makes it true? Go back to the Origin of Life part up there. Look at them numbers (and if I had taken the time I would have had many many more "numbers" to throw in there as well).
Some would think I'm crazy for having faith in something unseen, something that can't be touched, or proven by any known ways we categorize things or prove things to be true.
And guys, all of you evolutionists are the same. You have faith in something unseen and not proven. Sure, all of you will say "Well there's proof." and I'm sure all of you will list a nice long list of things. What I listed up there is pretty simple. Fossils, cave drawings, dinosaurs, missing links, the formations of proteins and stuff. What is evolution based off of? Guessing, and faith that it's true. No one was there at the big bang to say "Wow, we were right".
Do I believe the Bible to be true, and credible, and correct, and all that stuff? Yes I do. Because if I can believe in a God that is able to make everything in the universe within 6 days I can believe that that God is able to keep the Bible safe and straight (as in not getting messed up).
"Science is being proven more right then religion is now-a-days", I love how that sounded. Mainly because scientist don't know everything. They find out new things, they disprove old things they've found out. So now scientists are all knowing yet disprove their own stuff and still can't explain something simple like why there aren't fossils to back this or that. Something like "That NO ONE knows, in which how the universe came into existence.", yet that same person discounts creation as wrong, stupid, out of date and so on?
I'm the kind of person that sicks back, looks at both sides of things (I had to study evolution stuff, I might not have listened to everything, but I got some out of it) and then makes my judgment from that. Sure if I believe in a God and believe the Bible there is no way I can believe evolution. But even if I didn't go to church, if I wasn't into the whole creation thing. I would still look for something else other then evolution. I mean billions of years ago something so small exploded and formed all the planets, stars, galaxies, moons, and so on. And millions of years ago something we know nothing about nor have seen or any record of came out from the primordial soup. That something used to be rocks, and such. That little something then found something to eat, and found a way to reproduce, and over time it became every living thing known in this word. Everything from trees, to animals, to people, to bacteria. It all came from a rock. I got rocks in my drive way, millions of years down the road them rocks will turn into something higher, something better. And in time human kind will evolve into something greater.
Even if I did believe all that, I'd look for something else. Or I just wouldn't care, I'd live my life the best I could on this little blue planet and wouldn't care where we're from or where we're going.
I do have faith in something unseen. I know people think I'm crazy for doing so. But I just know there is a God. You can't see the God, so how? You can't see the air, or the wind, yet you see the effects of it. Same way with me and my belief. I can see the effects on things, and people as well.
But all of you on the other side of the fence have faith as well. Faith that science is right, have faith that the "facts" of evolution is right, faith that the scientists are right and didn't mess up, and so on. I'm not saying scientists are bad, always wrong and all that. They have made many many advancements to better mankind over the years. People are living longer, people are more healthy, people don't have this or that disease, we have electricity, phones, TVs, cars, lots and lots of things we take for granted we owe to scientists. That doesn't mean they can't be wrong, that doesn't mean they can't make up their mind if eggs are good or bad for your health. I'm not dismissing scientists for evil people. I'm just dismissing the ones who think they're smart enough to say "the earth is this old, because we say so.". That's not proof enough for me to switch over to believing evolution. I'll stick with what I got, because not only does it make the most sense to me, but because I know it's true in my heart.
Will someone change their mind due to what I've said just now? Nope. Killer-Swift will not change his views no more then me changing mine on this matter. Was all the time typing all this up wasted? Nope. Even if I hate these topics, see them as pointless, wish they were all done away with, I still like to get in there and say a few things. Was I very bored before starting this? Yes I was XD. And will I be making anymore replies to this thread/topic? Unlikely, because most of the time I always put everything I got into one big post and if anyone goes "Well, you're wrong on this, this, and this" then there's nothing I can say or do to change that person's mind so it's pointless to make another super long reply (doesn't matter if I post this or that, they won't take it as proof). Same with anyone wanting to reply to my post. Will anyone on PC be able to post enough evidence to make me go "Wow... I was wrong, evolution is true."? Nope, because I know what I believe in, and that's not going to change no matter how much someone tries to prove me or Creation wrong.
So if you just want the straight to the point answer for this thread (like me, be too lazy to read all of it XD). I believe a God (the Christian God) created the earth and everything out there in 6 days.
