What would Darwin say to today's creationists?by NatCen4ScienceEd20,907 views
@elsbymike Seriously dude I wish we could explain to them how irrational they are being. I seriously don't understand how they can think their religion is some how any more relevant than the hundred of others that are found in the world and how they can accept the words on a defunct and illogical book are somehow make more sense than the tremendous amount of physical evidence we see in the world. Its an excuse for them to stay ignorant, and educate their children in ignorance.

Order in nature is not proof of a god. We evolved in nature of course it looks like it has a pattern. We are in nature not looking outside of it. They used to think the earth was the centre of the universe and they worshiped the sun and saturn(saturday is named after it) etc until science found out what they were. Now religions have changed their stories. Everytime science finds more religions claim the bits we don't know yet. No proof, replacing mystery with mystery explains nothing.

Muhammad grew up worshipping many pagan gods in the Kabah including the moon, either called Hubal and Allah. After his conversion to monotheism, through the influence of Christians, Muhammad stopped worshiping the moon. The same is true for all Muslims since, down to the present day. However, the crescent moon is the universal symbol of Islam. Muslims will argue that there is no archeological evidence for the crescent moon symbol being used in Islam for the first few centuries after Muhammad.

@1freeman777 In any case, TV snow is NOT evolution at all. TV snow is pure randomness, with subsequent frames inheriting nothing from previous frames. TV snow does not reproduce or pass traits on to successive generations, and there are no environmental conditions putting pressure on the snow.

The Trinity, God had a son!!! but it wasn't his son it was himself!!!, he had his son toirtured or himself tortured and then forgave all the sins to god or himself from the son himself. This is how they tried to hide the multiple gods in the original Hebrew and it has made a mess.The fossils are in rock, it takes millions of years to get a fossil to go to rock. If a salesman comes to your front door and tried to sell you something don't you ask questions.Why aren't you doing this with religion?

from other primates is not in conflict with the teachings of the revealed religions, especially with the belief of an Almighty Creator of the world. Islamic Teachings that Allah, as described by the Qur'an, is the Creator and Disposer of nature. Therefore the perfect system of nature is one of His signs and not an arrangement parallel to Him or negating Him. All the scientific discussions and efforts are aimed at only finding out this system of nature as it actually exists.

@Mikeanglo (1) What we have said about the theory of evolution is also applicable to what has been or is being said on the basis of this theory about the ancestors of the first man, but as we have already pointed out, this theory is no more than a scientific guess. It is still subject to further investigation and should not be considered to be one hundred per cent final.
(2) Anyhow, it is important to note that the emergence of man on the basis of evolution

@Mikeanglo Emergence of man
According to their general line of thinking, the scientists hold that man has evolved from the primates, which existed before him. We leave the study and evaluation of this evidence and other indications to the anthropologists, and confine ourselves to making a few general remarks in regard to the origin of man.

@1tabligh You may believe that god created all of life in the garden of eden if you wish...but you cannot present it as a scientific theory. It's not the jobs of teachers, professors, and faculty to relay faith to children...that job belongs to men of the cloth, and men of the cloth alone.
