Evolution or Creation

Chris Martin:

Because we don't need to adapt anymore. Evolution states that organisms adapted to their enviroments because they had to adapt to survive. Humans devolped the adaption of logic and thinking. Because of this we can adapt our enviroment to our specifications (building houses, paved roads, etc.).

I believe we are still adapting. But I think we are going to adapt in a different way now. I mean, with all this technology like computers and texting, will we need voices anymore? Will we need to be vocal, or will our minds develop more to evolve out of talking?

Or maybe we are going to de-evolve and our brains will turn to mush and we'll become metaphoric zombies. And then the computers will use our milky brains to sustain them, and we'll end up in something like the Matrix.

Or maybe we are already IN the Matrix and this is all jsut a dream sustained by machines to keep us ignorant of what they are really doing to our bodies. You know??

These are the thoughts that keep my awake at night.

That could very well be the case. But I meant evolving in the sense of 'caveman to human' evolving. Who knows, though. Maybe if we gave it a million years humans would look completely different.

Did you not see what the predicted next "line" of evolution is?

I remember reading about it ages ago. I can't find the pic.

But my own theory is that for a million years, we'll exist as downloads. then as holograms, androids, Cybermen and finally back to the standard human.

No, I haven't. But if you find the picture I'd love to see it

I think that we'll conquer space and adapt to that enviroment. That would mean that we'd become the aliens we dream of today

I believe in both.

God and Science CAN exist in harmony.
It's simply that human-kind is creating false boundaries.

Why can't God control science?

Not believing in science is the result of primitive-minded fear.

I don't think the problem is man. I think the problem is srtict religious organizations. One can be theist and believe in both, but for a long time, one could't be Catholic and believe in both. It was either one or the other.

Nowadays, religions accept both ideas and however their congregation chooses to follow them. The problem is that from a young age they teach the creation story as if it were fact, when it's pretty obvious it isn't.

I think I have an oddly...mixed view- of both. I'm Christian, and proudly so, meaning I believe in Creation. But I'm also a scientist, or at least...a teen who really wants to be one someday, so Evolution appeals to me too.
In my mind: No one, obviously, today was around to record those first controversial lines in Genesis. I think God is God, and God can do as he so pleases. The Bible says 7 days- but whose to say they were 7 "24 hour days"? Couldn't they just as well have been millions of years- heck- even trillions, in God's time? As for Dino's, supposedly, He created animals first, they didn't have to be the generic ones we know of today. And maybe He did use surrounding space the Bible doesn't talk about to create the Earth. My theory goes a lot deeper than this, but I realize I'm taking up a lot of space with my words >_<

Takes as much space as you like, I'd be interested to read your views.

By the way you might be interested in this link Reasons To Believe

That's a really interesting website, thanks for the link ^-^ And I do agree with a lot of it, the whole idea of "well, it had to come from somewhere".
Sometimes I just think people get way too....caught up in religion and refuse to open their eyes at all. I find it really interesting that a lot of major events scientists say happened (the ice age, raining for an almost freakish amount of time, Pangea) can- if you have the right mindset- almost be picked up in the Bible. For example (not saying I believe this, I just thought of it) Pangea supposedly broke up and the continenets went there different ways; well, Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden and never saw it again. Coincidence? Who knows :P
