the year is 1 AD, Jesus has been born and the old testament is over. fast forward several years. Jesus tells the people of the world that the old testament is wrong. and just like that 1000s of years of history is gone. forward still 100s of years, to the time of Charles Darwin, he tells the world about evolution, and is hated by the catholic church. why is he hated? the catholics still belive in the old testament which says that god created the humans.so, in short, Evolution is no real theat to religion. |

I for once went to a Catholic school and I was taught Darwin's theory of evolution. |

I for once went to a Catholic school and I was taught Darwin's theory of evolution. But to attempt to answer your question... Evolution is seen as a threat because the Bible says that man was created in the image and likeness of God... And if we came from "apes" as Darwins Theory suggests, it therefore makes humans look inferior. What i mean is then that in some way we were made "simpler" and therefore putting God down in some way as if God was an 'ape' who evolved... therefore not the all "supreme being" that God is supposed to be... if that makes sense... i duno if you have a question about that then ill try and explain it better |

Don't believing in evolution is the same as don't believing in gravity. It's been widely approved as fact. And why can't evolution and religion go togher. Maybe a god made that whole evolution. People shouldn't take the Old Testament so seriously. It's book compiled with stories which were spread mouth-to-mouth for over 5000 years. Ofcourse lot of stories in it have a truth somewhere deep within. But all have logical explainations (like floods and eruptions) but that was more than 2000 years ago, hardly any knowledge, hardly any technology. I'm sure in 3000 years people will raise eyebrows at some of the things we think at this moment. |

Things that may have been concidered miracles in those days, might easily be explained today with science. |

Like I always say, Give a man a fish, feed him for a day; give a man religion and he'll starve himself to death praying for a fish. |

On the other hand, some people (like myself) class faith and religion as two different things. Does anyone else feel this way? |
| Adolfo and the spiders from Mercury 27.05.2006 13:43 |
Totally, faith and religion are different to me, I have a strong faith in God and his teachings, but Im not religious |

Tell that to my religion teacher though.... haha i love freakin him out by asking him how do we know that maybe Jesus and Mary Magdalene werent married... I mean the rest of the disciples had wives and families, but they arent discussed in the Bible, so how do we know??? |

Well, at least that's what I was taught in physics. |

I tend to believe evolution to an extent. I do not believe we evolved from apes though. I do belive that animals change through-out the years to have the ability to adapt to the environment. |

But thats another story.... The bible says that God created the heavens and the earth in 7 days. All living things, trees, oceans lakes animals bugs you name it...even humans. He created Adam and Eve in his own image. So the story goes. I believe in the bile, but I think the 7 days could have been thousands of years. If you think about it, it makes perfect sence. Possibly millions of years. It's a cool subject to thinnk about. |
