I don't know why religious folks reject the theory of evolution. [Spirituality & Religion]

Seems to me that someone could certainly believe that a god created life through evolution. Is the only answer that they believe the bible is literally true?

Especially that still at the moment our scientific knowledge makes an estimate that all living spieces on earth from plants to animals to bacteria and single cellular organisms have enough similarity that they have a universal single ancestor. However we still haven't answered the leap from just inert chemical compounds to life and all that means. Life can replicate itself, exploit its environment etc.

Indeed if anyone on similarworlds.com has an idea about that abiogenesis moment nows your time. The Royal Society launched a prize earlier this year of £10million to anyone who can produce a theory that stands up to scientific scrutiny.

This will be like the theory of relativity all over again.

It's true. But i don'y why people get so hung up on this.
As if we must know how life began in order to observe that it has since evolved.
As if we need to know how matter came to exist in order to observe gravity in action.

@Pikachu but.... We didn't understand gravity's effect on time until Einstein.

However I agree with you about this lack of knowledge not stopping you believing in evolution
@SW-User

Sure, but we didn't stop studying it on the basis that we didn't know where it came from.

@MalteseFalconPunch my point was this is the opportunity to provide a scientific explanation of intelligent design and actually finally prove God's existence.... If you believe that here's the position to insert the hand of God.

@Pikachu no agreed
I've clearly misunderstood the thread entirely sorry
