Evolution is a theory not fact.
Do you really believe you came from a fish? -
My first question is do you know that variation, also known as microevolution is a proven fact. My second question is do you know that macroevolution is a disproven mess of a theory, and is not verifiable by scientific method?
Also, do you know that macroevolution has been used as a tool of Satan to trick people for millenia, and it is not new, nor is it scientific? Ancient Greeks and Egyptians fell for the same lie. Also, the nature of evolution, as a Bible belief ending device, aka religion vs science(which true religion agrees with true science) was prophesied in the New Testament 2,000 years ago that it would trick people and pull them away from believing the Genesis account, and it specifically describes the foundation of macroevolution, and it said this would draw many away from the faith. Would you be interested in seeing how our modern day world is described in prophecy and how Darwin and you are being tricked? -
Why are there still monkeys.
What are they waiting for?
Also, we’re talking about who floats planets. Pretty clear that ALL things are possible for God.

Evolution (goo to you) will always contradict creation. The two are completely and totally incompatible! God could have used evolution (never limit an omnipotent God); but if He had, He would have had to rewrite the laws of biology, chemistry, and physics that He placed into His creation! He would also have had to rewrite scripture; because He cannot lie!
-
You can have a theistic evolutionary model that fits with the scriptures.
-
I don’t even understand the problem
-
THE REAL QUESTION IS: What “proof” do you have of evolution, in which one species evolved into another, entirely different species??? There has NEVER been ANY observable evidence of “change of kinds” in which one species evolved into another, entirely different species. If your own religion of “Science” states that there must be “observable evidence” for any scientific theory to be proven, why do you have “faith” in such mythology. Subscribing to the Greek Gods makes more sense than subscribing to Darwinian Evolution.
-
I just want to know what observable evidence there has ever been in which one species did a “change of kinds”, jump into an entirely different species…which would then prove Darwinian Evolution??? Don’t worry. I’ll wait. ???

In contrast, four MAJOR “news networks” conducted in depth and comprehensive interviews with an endless number of eye witnesses regarding the existence of John The Baptist…and Jesus Christ. These news networks are called The Gospels according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John. Their authenticity is carefully dissected by L.A. forensic psychologist J. Warner Wallace in his 2013 book “Cold Case Christianity”. Dive into that book. ?
-
That is a silly question.
IF God exists, why does an anti-god doctrine contradict God?
Silly, just silly!

History AND Science easily prove three things: 1. Jesus Christ was real and once walked this Earth born at or near a town called Bethlehem and he grew up in Nazareth. 2. There was a Baptist named John who absolutely existed and Baptized Jesus in what was likely The River Jordan. 3. The Christ was crucified under order of the Roman, Pontius Pilate and placed in a tomb heavily guarded by Roman sentry. And this tomb, despite many watching over it was found empty on the third day. Fact, fact, and fact. Now tell me just one credible item that “The Origin of Species” can prove regarding the existence of evolution? ??? -Sincerely, Saved Christian (but former Atheist).
-
There’s no contradiction if the story is metaphorical instead of literal
-
Which evolution are you speaking about ?
The one that is still confused about…Which came first; Chicken or Egg ?
-
Has evolution been observed? No.
Has genuine evidence for evolution been found? No. There is not a single living or dead creature found by science that is in the process of evolution, ie a bird into monkey or whatever.
Evolution does not explain our very existence, the creation of the universe, or even come close to guessing how long it’s here. Everything is made up with a finger in the wind and guessed, and then it’s told to the public with a straight poker face as if it’s fact.
The entire historic and geological claim of the Bible, from it’s stories, to people and families, to wars to global weather events, to the age of the earth has been so drastically proven by other Christian and religious scientists but you will never ever see it be recognized by the science establishment but it goes completely against their narrative.
And every prominent non-religious scientist is so strongly atheist they would never allow a Christian scientific believe be recognized.
I would point you in the direction of Creation.Com and “answers in genesis” websites who have made some incredible progress in proving many claims of the bible and challenge you to actually consider the argument from the opposite perspective if you genuinely want to know the truth and you can compare.
If you have no interest in looking into it then no argument on Facebook is going to help you because that’s all your looking for.
Take care, I’m not going to go back and forth on this unless your genuinely interested. ? -
Science does not contradict the bible. Look up carbon 14. Its stored in the air and we breathe it in and When we die its stored in our bones but it has a short life span before it disintegrates , yet oddly dinosaur bones have carbon 14 in them. Makes you wonder if the dating system that they are using is incorrect.

Actually it was a six day Creation – six lateral days. Genesis 1 says that God rested on the seventh day.
A legitimate question might be “why did it take Him so long?” – After all He could have achieved it in a nano-second! The answer may be found in verse 9 of chapter 20 in the Book of Exodus which tells us that we are to work for six days and rest for one.
Why does evolution theory contradict this? The short answer is that it is an atheistic pagan philosophy with scientific pretensions, requiring billions of years for the whole deal to have any kind of chance of working, plus a huge amount of faith that any of its suppositions are even possible – and science and natural laws increasingly indicates that they’re not.
-
Depends how you interpret 7 Days
-
Because evolution is incorrect, and evolved, if you pardon the pun from bad science and is full of presuppositions, but God’s is true from the very first verse.
-
Who cares about evolution.. which is just man’s foolish rhetoric without any real factual evidence
-
Because evolution is not real.
-
I love how the question presupposes that evolution is true.
-
Something started the whole universe and there is only one eye witness and that is God …
And Gods word tells us how creation came into existence.. that’s enough 4 me ….? -
I worship a God that could speed up time if he wanted to make evolution happen in 7 days. I worship a God that could make evolution happen in 7 days. The God I worship can do anything…
-
Evolution is occult. Yahuah created heavens and earth in 6 days rested on the 7th and made it holy. Earth is young and NOT A GLOBE. The Bible is scientifically true. Pseudoscience(evolution/cosmos) is not.
-
If evolution exists, why does God contradict billions of years of evolution?
-
The literal interpretation of 7 day creation is less than 200 years old. Started by well being Christians who were influenced by fideism which is at the core anti-intellectual.

Macro-Evolution is a MYTH – there is 0, NO, NADA, NONE – OBSERVABLE scientific evidence of so-called “Macro-Evolution” in the past 5,000 years, from one SPECIES to another. The small change in the beaks of Finches is only a change WITHIN a species. Even Darwin, himself, COULD NOT explain, why there were not MILLIONS of transitional fossils to prove his THEORY. Science has NOT provided any evidence of MILLIONS of transitional fossils, from one SPECIES TO ANOTHER! Macro-Evolution is Science Fantasy & Fiction. Remember – Science claims BILLIONS of years of evolution. This was a major problem for Darwin who admitted it! Science has been been watching too many episodes of Planet of the Apes!! 🙂

The flood of Noah happened approximately 4,500 years ago. Isn’t it interesting that the oldest living organisms on earth are about that same age. That’s not proof, of course; but it’s another in a long string of evidence for biblical creation! Evolutionists must never acknowledge the fact that the flood happened as the Bible records, on the timetable that it reports, even though the evidence is all around us! To acknowledge this would send the theory of evolution down the tubes, where it obviously belongs!
Furthermore, Evolution (goo to you) will always contradict creation. The two are the completely and totally incompatible! That includes a straightforward reading and interpretation of Genesis, as the author (God writing through Moses) intended. God could have used evolution (never make the mistake of limiting an omnipotent God); but if He had, He would have had to rewrite the laws of biology, chemistry, and physics that He placed into His creation! He would also have had to rewrite scripture; because He cannot lie!
Time and space do not permit an exhaustive list of all the incompatibilities between biblical creation and evolution! Suffice it to say that if you believe they are compatible, you are seriously deluded and have not taken the time to educate yourself on the differences.

i cannot take credit for writing this comment; but I could have and wish I had; and I agree with it 100%!
I am always baffled by statements from other believers that “God could have used evolution” to create the universe. The bulk of those who say this, so do out of ignorance because they really have not studied the two topics with great detail. Those who have and still believe it are knowingly believing and teaching a lie and should be marked as wolves. My desire in this post is to show that the two are not only incompatible, but are directly opposed to each other. The areas of contraction between these two models which I will address but not comprehensively include: mechanism of creation, order of creation, role of death, value of the weak, moral standards, and order of authority.
For the mechanism of creation, the Bible tells us that God spoke it and it was made. He did not use any natural means. Skeptics want a full detailed “scientific” account, not so they can believe, but more so in order to be able to replicate it and then say “We don’t need God.” God did not give us that. He created with a supernatural method (his voice) and in such a way that no one can honestly take any glory from him. Evolution is completely dependent upon natural means. While many of its supporters will say it makes no statement about God, the mechanism is still the same: natural laws and natural means. Whether “natural selection” (as Richard Dawkins suggests in The God Delusion) or whether “God did it,” the deep time models require natural means, whereas the Biblical account requires supernatural means.
The order of creation is another irreconcilable factor between the two models. The Bible records light, sky, water separation, land, plants, sun, moon, stars, birds and fish, land animals and man in that order. Evolution’s order starts with stars, planets, water and land, simple archaea-bacteria (which are not simple by any means) and gradually built up to multi-cellular creatures, to fish and plants, to amphibians, to land animals, to birds, and eventually to the modern-day biodiversity. The order is completely different.
Death and its role is a major issue. Paul teaches that death is an enemy of man, particularly the last enemy to be destroyed. The Bible teaches repeatedly that death and sin are connected and that death is the righteous due or judgment for sin. With Evolution, death is a part of the natural world and is actually beneficial by “weeding” out the “weaker species.” More on that later. The Bible shows that death is the ultimate result of the curse sin brings upon man and all under his authority (the rest of the creation). Evolution teaches that death is the mechanism to weed out the weak, build the strong, and bring out all the diversity of life.
The effect of sin and death is also contrasted between the two models in how the progress takes place. The Bible shows that sin causes decay and death, degrading everything over time. Evolution teaches that as the weaker species die, those left will make stronger and better species. The Bible teaches that due to sin, things left alone will tend towards disorder, decay, and death. Evolution requires things left alone will still head towards improvement and betterment and that nature will fix itself (with man’s help of course).
The Bible teaches us to cherish the weak and the lowly. God values the flower of the field, and the sparrow, and he even numbers the hairs of our head. He cherishes every single detail, especially those we tend to consider insignificant. Evolution, on the other hand, would rather see the weak and lowly put out of their misery so they would quit taking resources from the strong and mighty. Evolution puts the intellect and education of man on the highest platform, and looks down upon any who would dare challenge those in charge. God, on the other hand, uses the weak to shame the strong, the uneducated to shame the educated, and the poor to shame the rich. Evolution teaches a cut-throat, get all you can now, and knock down anyone who get in your way world. The Bible teaches humility and to serve and to take the lowest seat willingly.
The Bible teaches a holy moral standard based on God’s character, which no man can keep in his own ability. Evolution denies that any objective moral standard exists. When defending why any type of morality exists, Evolutionists typically point towards empathy and that “everyone knows what is right and wrong.” But there is no basis for such a statement. The Bible not only gives and defines morality, it explains why the believer and the pagan have it. With this, the Bible teaches that a Savior must come to rescue man from his plight. Evolution teaches that man is at the current height of the Evolutionary chain and can determine his own rules for how to operate.
And lastly, but not comprehensively, the Bible teaches that God is the highest authority and man is subject to this rule, whether they recognize it or not. The Bible is God’s revelation of himself, in text, to show man who he is and what he is like. Evolution teaches that man is the highest authority and that man can determine how the universe works or even what is best for everyone else. Just listen to who appeals to whom first, let alone the most. The young earth creationists will turn to the Bible first and the scientists second. The secularists, including Old earthers, will turn to the scientists first, and if the Bible is referenced at all it is last, and slapped on after the fact.
The Biblical account of Creation and Evolution could hardly be any further apart. How anyone can conceive that these two are compatible and stay there is beyond me. In my circles, I have met many young earthers who used to be old earthers and almost universally, they realized how the two models are irreconcilable, because they studied it. They chose to believe the Bible above the “scientific consensus.” Those who chose the latter have shown to quickly become atheists if not in name, but certainly by practice

I don’t have enough faith to believe that in the beginning there was nothing, then it exploded, and eventually evolved into everything there is. That takes way more faith than it takes to believe there is a cause for the universe, and that cause is the Creator who loves us enough to die for us on the cross!
-
To believe in evolution you have to have more faith than belief in an all powerful creator!
-
Easy. People who hate God made up evolution. Evolution is a tool of satan.
-
We loosely speak of evolution but we are really speaking of three things. Biogenesis ( the spontaneous origin if life ) , evolution within species and evolution across species. The only one of these that is definitely true because we can observe it is evolution within species. Evidence of evolution across species is cursory at best and biogenesis has never been observed and has not been duplicated in any lab even under the most optimal of conditions.
-
I don’t believe in Evolution so it’s not problematic.
-
Because evolution is wrong. I don’t understand the question.
-
You mean why do humans try to use a very weak theory called evolution to try and contradict the strong evidence of creation.
-
Evolution contradicts evolution. I just wish people who believe in geological columns and carbon dating could see the flaws.
-
Evolution is false.
-
Evolution is one big contradiction.
-
God uses the foolish things of the world to shame the wise as well as he was pleased of the foolishness of the message of the gospel for it to be spread the way it is.
-
It is because of the fall, you exist because of God not by evolution
-
Because God exists
-
It contradicts because evolution is wrong. Buy the John Hagee Prophecy Study Bible. Read the predictions on one side and their fulfillment one the other. 1/3 if the Bible predicts the future. After you have read all those predictions and ful fillments read a book or watch a video series by Grant Jeffrey called the Signature of God. Then join my group called Defend Him Lynn and let me know what you did and we’ll talk from there

My opinion…. if God existed in time, space and matter (where we live) in the beginning of creation then i think evolution would contradict a seven day creation! There is records of millions and billions of years where the earth has been around a very long time which is super cool….BUT I don’t think the Father created everything in time, space and matter! He was outside of his creation as it has to be that way in everything we create, if that makes sense! For example building a chair out of wood! You can’t be in the chair to create it but out of it watching and analyzing everything you do. Stepping away from it from a while! Making sure it’s precise and even and then going in again and fixing or adding something new to it to make cool!!! So I think the seven day scenario is something for our brains to comprehend! Imagine the Bible told us that the world was made in a quadrillion years! We couldn’t comprehend that! as creating something in so much beautiful detail with universe that is beyond what we know!!! I can’t imagine it only taking seven days especially if he was creating HIS universe on the basis of love! Anyway that’s my view! ? love you guys! By the way Jesus is the epicenter of this WHOLE thing! Remember the Bible says “my way are not your ways” sometimes we shouldn’t try get an answer for everything. We wouldn’t share our most intimate things with a stranger! I don’t even think we going to know everything about God when we go to heaven. My focus is always Jesus and what he did! If I understand that then I understand everything I need to! He is the beginning and the end, the alpha and the omega. Jesus himself said I don’t even know when the end is coming only the Father does which is another example to us that even Jesus doesn’t know everything about his Father as he is the Fathers only begotten Son! Who died for us! Anyway! Stay blessed and focus on the King! Ciao for now

This question should really be asking about the theory of evolution.
You gave the question as if scientific evolution was already in place and correct. -
Evolution is definitely a fact, but it does not mean that creationism and evolutionism are at odds. A day could mean a thoudsand years, according to scripture. What is for sure, something could not come from nothing. There is a Prime Mover, there was a time when everything began from a central, the big bang, but that bang was set in place by God.
-
You’re asking a question based on a presupposition that evolution is correct.
The basis of your question makes it invalid.
-
Why do you believe evolution is fact? Based on what others told you? Or what you have personal researched for yourself? Why take evolution over the Word of God?
-
So i gather that you’re an atheist right? You start your question off with “If God exists” which i assume means that you do not believe that God exists? Well I’ll ask you this. If you see a building, how do you know that there was a builder? I suppose you’d know because intuitively you know that a building cannot build itself right? If you see a painting would you automatically assume that the painting arrived by random selection over being created from nothing over billions of years? NO! You’d assume by using your common sense that there was a painter with the intellectual and creative capacity to be able to paint the picture/painting…so there is creation with birds and dogs and cats and forests and mountains and human beings with intellectual capacity and the intuitive knowledge to distinguish between right and wrong and has an innate sense of justice and love and compassion and all of this came from nothing colliding with nothing and randomly over billions and billions of years it created all of the above? Man!!! I swear…atheists need more faith than Christians do. There is a God because there is a creation and therefore there must be a creator. Your conscience testifies on your behalf that there is a God.
-
One day humanity will look back on evolution the way we look back on flat earth theory now. It’s a total hoax.

[…] If God exists,why does evolution contradict a seven day creation? […]
