Creationists keep running away when I show them facts about evolution. How many here are Christians who understand that Evolution is a fact?

    If you believe that your consciousness is a result of a evolutionary process that produces chemical reactions in your brain. How do you know that your brain is giving you the correct perception of reality?

  2. Lloyd Acree says:

    We can’t even find empirical macro evolution, which is a fancy way of saying species have no missing link parentage. None. Fossils are created by instant burials, but you’re going to tell me that each layer represents millions of years OR that the >>>nonexistent<<< layers between them represent millions of years; in either case the story is self-contradictory and there is no hard evidence. Just a man behind a curtain with a radiation equation based on assumptions about the state of matter in an environment wildly and astronomically inaccessible to us in any way? Unless you have a time machine....

  3. Jonathan Burris says:

    I will be more than happy to dialog with you on this topic, but you will first need to give me your definitions of “evolution” and “fact”.

  4. Devon Roig says:

    Adaptation and Speciesism I agree with, but Darwin’s “change of kinds” evolution is just ignorance, to think that we all cane from a rock, then fish, then lizard then human

  5. Nick N Beth says:

    How can a “theory” be a fact?
    The very “theory of evolution” points to the fact…it is not a fact…

  6. Sam Piazza says:

    The theory of evolution is no where near a fact.

  7. Billy Leishman says:

    Setting aside the fact that the idea of macro evolution is not actually fact at all, even if it was, I’d be more interested in knowing why purposeless matter would ever give rise to -and mass produce- consciousness that ultimately begins to look for purpose in a universe that had no purpose to begin with?
    Even philosophically, before you can begin to look at any evidences, the whole thing falls apart

  8. Jason Holmes says:

    Show us ONE fossil of a transitional species (from one to another) that hasn’t been proven a hoax. JUST ONE. You can’t, because they don’t exist! Charles Darwin himself, said that his theory holds no substance until those fossils are found someday in the future. To this day, not a single specimen of a transitional species has been found. True science is observable and repeatable. “Millions of years ago” is a fairy tale, because there’s no actual observable science to validate it. Funny how diamonds are supposedly millions of years old (according to people like you), yet carbon-14 with a half-life of less than 6000 years, is found trapped inside diamonds. I’m sure you’re not aware that it wouldn’t be detectable if diamonds were even 10,000 years old. According to “millions of years” this is a literal impossibility. So, please explain how this actual scientific FACT is possible from your worldview… We’ll wait.

  9. Joshua Eckhardt says:

    Too many to answer directly, but answer these questions:

    Why does a modern whale have 5 digits on its almost invisible rear legs? (Just like bats and humans!) Legs only observable by dissection!

    Why does it breathe air and swim in the deepest parts of the Ocean?

    Why does it share a tiny earbone ONLY with one other creature that lived 50 million years ago?

    Was God really so lacking in creativity?

  10. Ernie Cantu says:

    Joshua Eckhardt: “Creationists keep running away when I show them facts about evolution.” Well, pony up. Show us the facts that you have so that we can run away.

  11. Neil Steven Lawrence says:

    Darwinian Evolution is mutually exclusive to:
    1. Creationism
    2. Environmentalism
    3. Conservation
    4. Protection of species
    5. Human Population
    6. Abortion
    7. Homosexuality

  12. Terry Eldridge says:

    There are no “facts” about evolution to run away from. It remains an increasingly bankrupt atheistic philosophy which contradicts the most fundamental laws and principles of science – a “fairytale for grownups” as one evolutionist candidly called it – yet desperately clung to by those who stubbornly refuse to believe the truth – “In the beginning God……”

  13. Steve Losee says:

    it’s a fairy tale without proof.

  14. Tom Salamone says:

    Please define evolution. It can mean many things. If you mean change with respect to time then yes, that is a fact. If you mean a pre-biotic soup to animals to humans then that is mere conjecture. No evidence whatsoever for that kind.

  15. James L Brunet says:

    there is great information on microevolution, meaning changes within a species. no evidence whatsoever for macroevelotion, meaning from one species to another

  16. Dwayne Sanders says:

    The random theory of evolution is like me jumping from a plane and growing a set of wings in order land inside my home holding a cold glass of lemonade. ???

  17. Salvador Retchie Grant says:

    This is fact: Evolution is fiction!

  18. Andy John says:

    Evolution is the change in inherited genetic traits in a population over time. Its a demonstrable fact. We can literally see it happen.
    Time to move on folks, this ones solved ?

  19. Nate Mewes says:
  20. C Cornell Hicks says:

    Can you please give me OBSERVABLE evidence of evolution?

  21. Isaiah Hess says:

    Evolution is not a fact – there is zero evidence for it. Every bit of “evidence” for evolution has alternative and more plausible explanations. Just because something *might* support evolution doesn’t mean that it only supports evolution. There a common theological fallacy by the evolutionists.

  22. John Brock says:

    Self-grandising pseudo intellectual

  23. Catalin Dragusin says:

    You have a laptop, or a handy smarthphone, in your hand, CREATED by someone, ,and writing to us that creation does not exist. Everything it is created. This world God created. O have thousands evidence that God created all, and He is Allive, but i give you one: i had the grace to meet Him, and save me. You can not never, ever, you, and all your “smart”, friends, convince me, that, my HOLLY, ALMIGHTY GOD, JHWH, CHRIST JESUS, HOLLY SPIRIT, does not exist. Step back, and watch out!

  24. Alan Parsons says:

    Evolution isn’t a fact.

  25. Franks Biblestudy says:

    This is an extremely intellectual light weight question, I debated for four years solid, as an apologist I realized that winning a debate is nothing in comparison to winning a soul, that’s why I don’t debate people under these circumstances anymore, the mind is already made up and it’s pointless, no matter what you say and what you prove.

  26. Joshua Milner says:

    Has anyone provided proof of God’s inexistence? Not even close. Has quantum cosmology explained the emergence of the universe or why it is here? Not even close. Have our sciences explained why our universe seems to be fine-tuned to allow for the existence of life? Not even close. Are physicists and biologists willing to believe in anything so long as it is not religious thought? Close enough. Has rationalism and moral thought provided us with an understanding of what is good, what is right, and what is moral? Not close enough. Has secularism in the terrible 20th century been a force for good? Not even close, to being close. Is there a narrow and oppressive orthodoxy in the sciences? Close enough. Does anything in the sciences or their philosophy justify the claim that religious belief is irrational? Not even in the ball park. Is scientific atheism a frivolous exercise in intellectual contempt? Dead on.

  27. Buz Stepanek says:

    I don’t have enough faith to believe in evolution. Any scientist that understands the complexities and interdependencies of living creatures should see that it can’t happen by chance in billions of years.

  28. Nate Mewes says:

    Anyone who believes that Christianity and evolution can intermingle is a weak Christian at best.

  29. Eric OConnor says:

    Macro or micro. Evolution exists within a kind. A finch may evolve a different beak, depending on it’s habitat. A human has different skin color because of where it lives. That being said, there is no evidence of changes making one species into another. Again which evolution are you talking about? One exists, one is fallacy.

  30. Salvador Retchie Grant says:

    If evolution teaches that life started from the smallest microbes, where then did the composition of these smallest particles come from? From nothing?

    I tell you where it came from- the Creator gave life to the DUST He formed.

  31. Aroop Kumar says:

    Even evolution scientists call it a “theory”. ?

  32. Jim DeRicci says:

    There is nothing factual about evolution. I’m not running. Nature screams evidence of creation. Evolution is contrary to every area of science. The burden of proof is on you.

  33. Romualdo Venturanza says:

    What facts? Evolution is a religion that needs more faith to believe a purposeless mechanism of change that is not scientific.

  34. Donald Watson Jr. says:

    Microevolution within a species…yes, Macroevolution where one species become a totally different family…never

  35. James E. Booker Jr. says:

    Since when did a theory become a fact?

  36. Jerry Ogles says:

    No one wants to argue with anyone who cannot accept a higher power. You did not make yourself. If you believe the complexity of the universe occurred at random, you probably voted for Nancy Pelosi. I will not waste my time quill-pushing with an obstinate atheist.

  37. Elai Kumar says:

    Now show the facts of evolution to us n let see… Start it from the very first beginning…

  38. Darin Martin says:

    If evolution were a fact, then it would no longer be called “the THEORY of evolution” but it still is ?

  39. Vic Cooper says:

    The only thing factual about evolution, that is, Darwinian Evolution, is that it supposedly gives man the false premise to “play God,” thinking he can do a better job,

    than He [God] can.

  40. Dennis Ustaris says:

    You misunderstood me. How can I ellucidate evolution, i vehemently don’t believe in that ! Again , I’am a Bible – believing Christian ! Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide.

  41. Aaron Dullinger says:

    Did he ever give any facts?

  42. Maj Valero says:

    How could non-living chemicals give rise to living cells when the probability of a simple protein arising by chance is statistically impossible?

  43. Roman Lyniuk says:

    Evolution: that is so last century. Scientist now call it ID. Intelligent Design. Evolution, while obvious happens within a specific bandwidth, is no longer recognized as the engine for life. The formation of life is much more complicated. Random evolutionary change is not the operating system. There is what is referred to as Intelligent Design. You tube Stephan Meyers on his book “Darwin’s Doubts”

  44. Isaiah Su says:

    K E N T H O V I N D

    will ask:

    “What do you mean by evolution?”

  45. Rita Frahm says:

    Darwin admitted on his deathbed that evolution was merely a theory

  46. David Butler says:

    If you’re really seriously wanting answers from creationists, try getting them from creation.com .
    Nearly all the staff are scientists that have rejected Darwinism after examining the evidence for themselves. Start at the Q&E page or use the search engine.

  47. Raymond Dale Northup Jr. says:

    Evolution is fake

  48. Paul Vargas says:

    I believe evidences are already presented, OP’s claim is already being refuted and this thread is no longer edifying, therefore we will now turn off the comments section.
