do you really believe in theory of evolution

You can see evolution everywhere. Even shedding some animals through extintion does function as evolution if what you have in mind is the ecosystem. It all depends on how granular you take the discussion. Of course, if you are talking about humans, you may not see a clear evolution pattern. But if an animal goes missing in the ecosystem of the rainforest, you will feel the difference in other niches. It is all a matter of defining the range of the discussion.

Evolution is all around us. When a species adapts to a new environment, that is evolution. When the percentage of men vs. women in a given population changes, that is evolution. So, by definition, we are still experiences evolution today ~ it is all around us. As to whether or not I specifically adhere to Darwin's theories ~ that's a seperate issue. I haven't made up my mind in that regard. There are the theories he presented that I do see and can prove to myself. Then, there are the theories that go on an educated guess for thousands or millions of years ago. That part is more difficult to work out logically. I don't know if human beings evolved from apes. I do know that I can see evolutionary changes occuring from year to year (in obviously small doses).

First things first, we do have evolution all around us. The problem is that evolution occurs over such long periods of time, that it's not something that can be noticed on a day-to-day basis. The easiest way to notice evolution is to compare the same creatures from the past and today and notice the changes they have made. Small example: There is a type of angler fish that lives in deep, dark water. In order to be able to catch prey and survive, this fish, over time, sprouted an apendage that is essentially, a light bulb that dangles in front of him.

It never ceases to amaze me the debate about evolution or creationism. People argue strongly one way or another. I believe however that a more likely scenario is probably a theory which combines both. I see no inconsistency in believing that both creationism and darwinian evolutionary theory are possible. God created all things and that includes the processes in nature. People and animals and plants are changing all the time, evolving if you like. god intended for this to be the case. However I do not believe that creatinism should be taught in schools as a science because it obviously isnt science. it can be thought as religion while evolution should be taught in science with the condition that it be taught as a theory and not presented as a tested known fact.

I don't believe in evolution from an evolution vs creation standpoint. Evolution teaches us that we have no purpose, no meaning, and that we were all mistakes. I believe that we have a creator, God, who designed us all in His image. As far as things changing over time - I do think God has designed creation so perfectly that there is a form of changing "evolution". We might not know why the changes are occuring, but God does. As humans we have a real problem with the unknown. I gave up on it - there are things I am not capable of understanding and God is, so let it be.

No, I believe the Bible. I believe that God created the Earth in 7 literal days and that the earth is not "millions of years old" but is in fact about 6,000 to 7,000 years old. I suggest that you check out some of the skeptic questions on the Answers in Genesis web site. You'll find that there's some great information out there. To be truthful it takes more faith to believe in evolution than just to simply trust God to be everything he said He is. Afterall someone designed us, we are not some biological accident as many believe. I hope this helps you!

i've always believed that man evolved from a different species, as proven by the skulls of prehistoric people that were dug and discovered in caves. i, however, do not believe that we evolved from apes such as monkey and chimpanzees, for if so, why are they still in existence?

You're forgetting the fact that a few centuries is not nearly enough time to see visible signs of evolution in, for instance, humans. That doesn't mean evolution isn't happening, only that we would need a LOT more time to observe it as it is happening now.

yes darwin's theory is correct as far as i am concerned i can't just believe that adam and eve came out of nowhere and that now there are 6 billion people in this world

First of all, I'd like to clear up a misconception. Current evolutionary theory suggests that humans and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor. So to all those who continue to ask 'Why are the apes still here', it is because humans did not evolve from apes. Also, we do see evolution occur. It's called microevolution - evolution on a smaller scale which consists of genetic adaptations and mutations. Doctors must constantly find new antibiotics for bacteria every year, because those bacteria who manage to survive the antibiotics the first time can copy this useful trait from their DNA and pass it on to their offspring. You also see microevolution in bugs. Pesticides must be switched out every few years, because after a while they fail to have any effect on crop killing insects. This is because those insects who survive the poison pass this beneficial trait on to their offspring, like the bacteria. Most people discredit macroevolution because we have yet to see one species evolve into another. However, given that evolution takes several thousand to several million years, it's not that hard to understand why. The theory of evolution hasn't been around that long - it's still taking baby steps. To expect to see major results of several millenia of change in a matter of only a few hundred years is ludicrous. Now, for my personal belief: I believe evolution (macroevolution) is possible. It is not proven (nor are many other theories of the mechanics of life), but that doesn not mean it doesn't have evidence to support it's possibility. Evolution is the theory I currently support, and I will continue to do so until I see convincing evidence against it.

I think it should first be made clear that the process which is described in the theory of evolution takes place over millions of years. Therefore, it is an uninformed question you ask; "....isn't it strange that we don't see evolution now....?" I believe that the theory of evolution is only a theory, as the name suggests. It is not fact or even provable; a good theory has inherent falsifiability. Evolution meets all of the requirements for a good scientific theory, and has withstood many challenges thrown against it. It is the best theory we have to explain how the species we witness today came about. Full Article: http://www.helium.com/tm/223187 Draven the Respectful Atheist http://dravenwriter.blogspot.com

yes i do the reson is that if it would not had been then an intelligent person would not have existd yes i am talking about the person to which we are jelous like u r class mate because he is intelligent this intelligence is due to the devlopment of his fore fathers

I really am confused now on what to believe... Do I have to believe the bible which says that God created everything. Or do I have to believe in the theory of evolution as proposed by Charles Darwin.. Both the bible and the theory of evolution have the points. But to where would I believe now... Will I continue believing to the Bible which is part of my being a Christian or to the theory of evolution which is part of my being a student of sciences. I mean it is so much confusing because this hits my faith, everyone's faith.. hooh...

Darwin's original theory had several flaws, that is why a new school of thought emerged as Neo-Darwinism and other models adopted from Darwin. Micro-evolution can be observed in laboratories, some may call adaptation, as bacteria "evolves" into better or more resistant bacteria. Macro-evolution however is still debatable. Fossils dont give much help because of the glitch in the theory known as Darwin's blackbox. A complex organ, such as an eye, could not have evolved, because evolution requires intermediate states. Intermediate states of complex organs will fail, such as an eye without a rod or a cone would not be able to see. Other problems still hound the theory of evolution is the existence of simple organisms. why have they remained simple. The theory of evolution still needs refinement. I go for a mediated evolution, merging an intelligent creator with an evolutionary process. Someone one great out there is mediating over all creation.

Of course we see evolution now, although it is not the type of thing that you can just sit and watch happening. The evolutionary process take thousands of years to prduce a noticeable difference, although they are still examples around us today. For example, you may have noticed that the current generation of human beings are mmuch taller than their grandparents, which is a trend that has been ocurring for centuries. If you have the opportunity to view armour that was used in the olden days you will notice how much smaller people were then.

I see this theory to its very rational sense. we cannot really tell if it is really happening now or in the future. i do believe in some of its details moreover, mostly. The theory that human are just a part of the animal kingdon that just evolved from apes cannot really deny. This theory can also see in different manner. for instance, people who live together may have the tendency to experince what they call Convergetn evolution. Its about how each other adopt physically.

I'm more in favor of Douglas Adams view from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The Earth was created by a race of super intelligent beings as a giant computer trying to work out the ultimate question of life the universe and everything. And we'll probably figure it out 30 secs before the planet is destroyed to make a new spaceway by pass and be so frightened by our brilliance that we can't tell anyone.

i would appreciate your wise point. scientists keep on telling about the changes and transformations that made to reach a level like our life form but rarely admit wat would happen next.Would such a species of human beings would evolve who are immune to diseases like aids or cancer.why such a 'fittest' ones are not surviving is a dilemma to science. What i would believe is that even if there are 'tyres and nuts and bolts and glass or sheetmetal',unless there is an engineer to make it into a car nothings gonna happen! we were not formed so serendipous from hydrogen gas.thatz visible in every creation .Renowed car maker Mercedes for eg. made Bionic car being inspired by its aerodynamic shape of 'boxfish' for a higher fuel efficiency. each creation has been best designed,beautifully designed,timely designed,and most efficiently designed in the sense that life must go on.as an engineering student i dont think that would happen serendipous.why we can recreate all these now in labs ?

Yes I believe it to a percentage of 85...Most of the things darwin has said is actually true...We all definitely seeing evolution around us...but the fact is that the universe has evolved to such an extent that the rate of such evolution at the present world has gone down..but still it pertains here in one form or the other.

for me as a catholic christian i dont believe on it because we are tought that in the beggening we created by god.........
