Evolution Theory: It's Been Reflected By My Religion

The debate over Evolutionary theories and Creationism beliefs has been a major debate throughout our churches, education system, and even our homes. There have been countless scientists, theologians, journalists and Christians that have studied both sides of the spectrum, that argue how the world we live in was created. Many empty statements, with little to no facts, just assertions about this particular question have been stated in many debates all over the world. So on one side we have Creationism belief that essentially argues that God is the “intelligent designer” and on the other side Evolutionary theories that state the world has evolved over the centuries. In the Merriam- Webster dictionary, Creationism is defined as, “a doctrine or theory holding that matter, the various forms of life, and the world were created by God out of nothing and usually in the way described in Genesis “. Merriam- Webster dictionary also defines Evolution as, “a theory that the differences between modern plants and animals are because of changes that happened by a natural process over a very long time; the process by which changes in plants and animals happen over time; a process of slow change and development”. So is it possible to believe both of those definitions?

When comparing science and religion there has been a great rift. As long as humanity has believed in a creator there as always been thinkers trying to quantify and evaluate the truth behind religion, trying to disprove or prove a supernatural force.

Evolution theory is not true because it gives a vague explanation of how the world developed to be what it is today and it also fails to explain why it is no longer going on today. As absurd as it is there are people in the world today who believe it majority of them being atheist.

I don’t believe the evolution view can be reconcile with the Bible, because it contradicts everything the word of God explains in detailed as to how the universe and earth were formed and by whom. On the other hand even though the old earth view supports the idea that the universe is billions of years old, they believe creation was instructed and commanded by God. Putting them in agreement with some of the message of the Bible.

The issues about evolution have been argued for several hundred years. For example, even until now, some religion of the Christian Denomination still refuse to admit the evolution is a fact. However, evolution explains a lot of phenomenon appearing in nature environment. Thus more and more people believe it and think these phenomenon are the evidence! Let us sort out them below:

For years, theologians and scientists have debacled as to which theories could be categorized as correct as opposed to incorrect theologies. On a larger scale, these individuals debate the question of the universe’s origin, as well as the origin of life itself. Some of the most contemplated questions theologians face are those that include thoughts regarding the creation of all living things. Whether or not all things that currently inhabit the world are derived from a single act that has yet to be defined, or if it perhaps the result of a combination of random, yet coinciding, events?

Darwinism and the Creation stories of Genesis, have always been considered to be a collision of sorts and not considered to be two stories that coincide and complement each other. However, in Kenneth R. Miller’s writing Finding Darwin’s God, he explored the possibility of the coincidences between Genesis and Darwin’s theory of evolution. The Catholic faith and the idea of Darwinism are two ideas that are best illustrated as two ornately decorated porcelain plates being thrown at each other and clashing and clanking into a million smaller smashed pieces, these two “theories” have never been thought of in unison. However, Miller explores the possibility of Darwinism and the Creation stories going hand in hand with each other, and provides

Nearly three quarters of Americans surveyed claim to be Christians. The Christian faith is based on the Bible which states that God created everything in six literal days. Evolutionary theory and the Biblical account of creation are opposing and I want to share some scientific evidence as well as Biblical examples supporting creation.

Darwin’s evolutionary theory is the most common topic tearing down religious beliefs. It’s being taught in high schools as a science; when in reality it’s a belief system about the past. Many people today are told to accept evolution, but then add it to the Bible as if God had used evolution to create every living thing on Earth. If God had used evolution, then everything he said in Genesis would have to be a lie. Which brings up the question, what part of the Bible is true? The evils of evolution not only destroy Genesis, but changes the way you think about life and makes evolution a religion.

The roots of evolutionist thinking appears contemporary with dogmatic belief that try hard to deny creation . The majority of the pagan philosophers in ancient Greece defended the idea of ​​evolution . If we look at the history of philosophy , we will see that the idea of ​​evolution has sustained many pagan philosophy .

In Biology, “Science” is defined as understanding the natural world through observation, reasoning, and testing. Observing the world and trying to understand why things work is important as a Christian because it helps us realize how complex systems are; it also shows how great our God truly is. Knowing that there is an ordered complexity to everything in Science shows that God did it all on purpose and it was not by mere “chance”. Nothing comes out of a chance or out of nothing. Something always has to come out of a first force. That first force would be considered as God in my point of view. Darwin believes it be something different than this: Evolution, according

Despite the fact that evolution has unsurmountable evidence and years of research behind it, there is still a startling amount of people who are “non-believers” in evolution. So much so that there are entire communities of skeptics who devote their time to disproving evolution. One such group is the Institute for Creation Research, which among other things, owns a “creationist museum” and encourages individuals to start “creation clubs”. One of the foremost scientist of the group Dr.Henry Morris makes his case in his article titled “The Scientific Case Against Evolution”

I believe that religion and evolution can co-exist. In the past, some of the most influential people that contributed to science like Albert Einstein and Galileo Galilei believed in the possibility of a high universal power and still pursued a career that may have contradicted religion. Although many may disagree with this statement, I can personally can say I grew up in a Catholic household yet I am still able to believe in evolution. Religious doctrines focus on moral principles while science based theories like evolution focus on facts. Although theories like evolution contradict literal interpretations of the Bible, over time I have learned that scriptures like these are not meant to be taken literally but allegorically. For example, the

When we think about faith and evolution and we question ourselves is it possible to believe in both one might wonder what you should choose to believe it faith or reason, god or evolution. What if our choice wasn’t a single answer could it be possible to select both. As a biochemistry student and Christian I have taken many evolution classes and at the same time sat in church having both of these teachings and ideals contradicted. I believe that is possible to believe in both god and evolution. I do not believe that our existence just happened or that we came from organic matter and later evolved into complex mammals. The human body is too complex, when we look at the simplest level, the cells, we come to find we are not simple even at the

As long as humans have walked the Earth, we have sought out answers. Answers for questions like: "Why are we here? Where do we go when we die? Where did we come from? and What's that?" How different people answered these questions is important to study because it shows us the spiritual side of human nature. Especially now, a time of conflict between Islam and Western Civilization, it is important to look back and trace the evolution of religion. To see where we started and perhaps, gain some perspective into what is happening now and what may happen in the future.
