Atheisten raus; this is a religious topic.

Can intelligent design and evolution exist concurrently in your theology? (perchance, the latter as a consequence of free will, or as a 'design automation' process like you might find in CAD software)

Evolution is contradictory to creation.

Why?

We know evolution happens. We can see it and even manipulate it to our advantage.

Do you think we found something even God didn't know?

Adaptation is not evolution. Evolution is the idea that over *very long* periods of time, one species can become a completely new one. That isnt directly observable, which is one of my main issues with the theory. It relies on blind faith even more than creation does. We can create new breeds of dog, but that isnt evolution, thats manipulating the species to express genetic phenotypes that *already exist* within its genetic code. And gene splicing is far closer to an act of creation than it is with evolution, which is supposed to be a natural and random process.

Random mutations happen, nigger.

Exactly. They are random. But few are better and survive.

Uhuh. Machine learning does not exist.

Yes, Christianity all good with evolutionary biology. Find Truth and Find God.

Evolution requires trillions of years to produce anything outside of a protoplasmic blob and ultimately wouldnt produce *any* form of life without some intelligent design to jumpstart it. Not to mention the whole issue of degerming what even constitutes as a species "evolving". Dogs are the same species as wolves generically, so are they evolving from wolves, or are dogs merely certain phenotypes present in wolf DNA that have been activated by humans expressing themselves? Theres also the issue with what is defined as a species, which can sometimes be arbitrary.

Creation on the other hand explains things much simpler and more concisely. I used to be a firm believer in evolution, but thinking back on it, evolution is a probability nightmare, whether the earth is 6000 or 6 billion of years old, it doesnt matter, something as advanced as humans (or even a slime mold) simply isnt going to be randomly generated in that period of time, especially when evolution essentially requires positive mutations to be more frequent than negative ones.

u/TallestSkil This is one topic I'd like to see your insight on.

No evolution does not exist, there is not enough time to make things from scratch.

Yes. Aquarius ape not-theory.
