Objections to Evolution

Do you object to evolution and if so why? This isn't a thread about evolution, it's a thread about objection to evolution. It doesn't matter what evolution teaches, only why you object to it, if that is the case. Or perhaps why you don't.

Have you seen anything mutate or evolve with your own eyes?

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Of course I have. What's that got to do with objection to evolution? I've also seen things created and propagate.

@BibleData ok I’ll try another angle…
Evolution comes from necessity right?

You’d think in 40000 years we’d develop skin that dont get cancer in the sun.
Since it’s necessary we humans go outside..

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout No, no, no, wait. You aren't saying why you object to evolution, You haven't even said if that is the case.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout
Not the way evolution works.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout
Evolution takes place usually over several generations. One living organism isn’t about to simply change into something else while you sit there watching it.

@DocSavage This thread isn't about the details of evolution. How it is thought to work, but rather why anyone would object to it in general for whatever reason.

@DocSavage Yes, true about Adam, but who cares? Who cares if someone thinks that? Is it about the schools. Is it a battle to indoctrinate?

Many people care. I have no problem or objections about evolution. It makes sense to me, the evidence supports it, and I consider the probability of it being correct is very high, despite what I don’t know about it.
My objection to religion has always been the all or nothing aspect of it.
If you can cherry pick what part of god is true, and /or ignore others in favor of facts, then you’re just telling yourself what you want to hear.
People will commit to their belief system, and defend it rigorously. So while it might not matter to you, it matters to them. And if they can find some detail or flaw to support their view they will cling to it , no matter what the evidence.
