How can you be a christian and still accept evolution? [Spirituality & Religion]

No its not

@Dolimyte: It is a theory. But so is gravity. "Theory" doesn't mean "probably not true" like some people seem to think.

So is the theory of gravitation. And particle theory. And the germ theory of disease.
Do you understand how a scientific, capital T, Theory differs from your theory that the bruins will win the stanley cup?

Gravity is not a theory

@Dolimyte: yes it is ; The Theory of Evolution no missing link , no fact

@Jake966:

Wrong. There is the law of gravity which describes gravitational relationships and there is the theory of gravity which describes WHY gravitational relationships exist.

@Jake966: that missing link stuff is bull. There will always be gaps in the fosil record.

So which apes are you related to ? LOL

@UnparalleledMonster: correct ! So what is the law of evolution ?

@Jake966:


...are you under the misapprehension that a law is somehow higher than a theory?
I hope not because this is incorrect. They describe different things.

The "law" would be the existence of a diversity of life on this planet. The theory that explains that is evolution.

What apes am I related to? All of them. Monkeys too. Anything with a spine actually

I know that but the theory of evolution can't be proven to show how man came into existence

Evolution does explain how man came into existence. All life started as simple organisms that grew in complexity over countless generations. Where did the first life come from? No one knows. Maybe it was god, maybe not, but evolution happened.

@Dolimyte: good for you , I sure am not

@Dolimyte: so what will or has man evolved into ? I don't see any further evolutionary process taking place

@Jake966:

What kind of question is that?
How could anyone say what man will evolve into? lol that's a pointless question.

[quote] I don't see any further evolutionary process taking place[/quote]

Actually you do. Fewer and fewer people are being born with wisdom teeth because they no longer serve a purpose.
As for man evolving into another genera...what do you expect to see? You understand that the evolutionary process takes a long time and what's more occurs in response to environmental pressure.

Why has the process stopped ? Man has been man , according to the theory , for how many millions of years ? Not being born with wisdom teeth is not an answer

@Jake966:

lol what makes you think it has stopped? Because you can't see it happening before your eyes?

And let's get some time lines straight:

Modern humans have existed for around 200,000 years. That's nothing.
Our ape-like ancestors as revealed through the fossil record have existed for about 7 million years. That's nothing.

To put it in perspective, dinosaurs existed for over 200 MILLION years an we can see through the fossil record great changes over that period. Notably the evolution of some dinosaurs to birds.

They may be your ape-like ancestors but they certainly aren't mine ! LOL

@Jake966:

Golly, i haven't heard that one before 🙄
So can i assume that this concludes the portion of the discussion where you even attempt to make a rational argument?

LOL ! I just know I was created by a Devine Creator who loves me and I am made in His image not evolved from some ape

@Jake966: if man was created is his image, why do people all look so different? Shouldnt we all look alike. We dont because when primative man spread across the globe they evolved differently due to being in varied enviroments.

@Jake966:

Of course you do, champ.
But it's time for you to go. The grown ups are talking.

@UnparalleledMonster: Really ! Check your age to mine boy ! LOL So I guess it's time for you to go
