  • There's actually a very small percentage of scientist that don't believe in evolution. It's tiny compared to those that do accept it. Now, to the person that said that "first living organism would have had to have had genetic code detailing the formation of every single feature that has ever existed in any living organism". You don't have to know everything in order to deduct reason from a scene of a crime, for example. You use evidence built around it.

    Genetic information can be essentially created from a building block of what we have on Earth, the sun, & electrical discharges. Add in amino acids, nucleotides, and other building blocks of amino acids, and the evidence points to RNA molecules. RNA molecules can replicate themselves, and it then was replaced by DNA to contain genetic codes.

    Scientist are currently diving in scientifically to explain such approach. But that's the thing about science, you are not right about everything, but by eliminating the things that are wrong, it builds closer to the truth. It's been done in the past, where science has trumped beliefs that otherwise weren't very satisfactory. Religion has ignored, destroyed and killed people who have taught science facts, only to realize later that science was right all along. Religion has had to change ideals that went against their own beliefs because of science.

    I feel extremely lucky that we live in an age that doesn't block our ability to educate ourselves. The church took advantage of ignorance. The more I read about how the church, ANY church and religious belief works, the more I see how hypocritical they are. If you were born in the middle east, you might be a Muslim and hardly hear about Christianity. If you were born in China, you wouldn't be a Christian, you'd study Confucianism, Taoism or Buddhism. So if God gave you free will, that means that there is randomness. If there is randomness, I could be born anywhere, with any skin color or background. And that means that I would likely grow up as the religion of my parents. And that is where the thought of one true religion falls apart.

    • Who cares about religion? What does it have to do with evolution? When will you evolutionists shut the hell up about religion? NOBODY BUT YOU wants to drag it into the discussion. As I've said before, SCIENCE ALONE is enough to refute the theory of evolution.

      I'll bet it was a pretty small percentage of wealthy, educated nobles in the middle ages who didn't believe in alchemy. Just because the whole world believes in something doesn't mean it is true. In fact, any widely-held belief is highly suspect to me, because human nature is to deny logic and believe whatever is popular just to fit in. There is an even more compelling reason in this case, though. The reason the scientific community SEEMS to stand behind evolution is because you can lose your job for denying it. The evolution mafia will not tolerate any dissent.

      And neither DNA nor RNA could have come to exist using the materials that would have existed in a prebiotic environment. Even if they were there, it is simply too complex to be the result of a random process. There was a piano found sitting on a beach in Florida recently. Just because wood, steel ,and porcelain exist does not mean that the piano therefore could have been formed by chance. Evolution is not a scientific belief, it is a philosophical one. Science follows the scientific method, evolutionary theory does not.

      • You know, Creationism used to the popular theory. for like, 400 years! maybe longer. You do know that the popular theories we believe it now have more logic than the most widley held beliefs then.
