Which Will Win Out In The End: Creationism or Evolution?

[JerryL]

Evolution has the distinct advantage of being the conclusion of the evidence. If the world population were reduced to 2 tomorrow, and they repopulated, their decendants might never know a bible, but they would still see evolution occuring in front of them.

I believe if evolution gets to be the majority, there would be a sweep of fundamentalism (kinda like culture shock) across the world there by creating a synthesis of the two yet again.

A hundred years from now, which will have won out: Creationism or Evolution?

I believe mankind will soon (in the next few years) figure out how this life works. When he does, he'll finally understand that all species of life is actually one entity living it. And that all species are progressing (evolving) towards a specific event...learning how, and then transcending into spiritual life, gaining eternal life. Logic tells me mankind certainly isn't the first.

Until that time, he will continue succumbing to physical death. What would be a great catalyst? First learning that one's awareness is immediately extinguished if one lets his/her body die.

Some people still think the Earth is flat, they still think an invisible friend in the sky cures cancer, they still think Obama was born in Kenya, the moon landing was faked, 9/11 was an inside job, vaccines cause autism, the world will end in (insert date).

Entropy will win out. Evolution won long ago among the educated consensus.

Erm....almost hate to have to state the obvious here. Evolution won out over creationism in the 19th century. Creationism lost the argument before Darwin's book was even published - the rest is just propoganda, not competing scientific theories.

"If they had been given time and opportunity, I'm almost certian sentient reptiles would have evolved"

They had 150 million years and didn't do it, sorry, your theory doesn't stand up.

Would have evolved? They are evolving. 150 million years? It's taken mankind more than a billion years to evolve. We started from the amoeba, you know....Oh, you don't?

mass extinctions played in our favor,

I suspect that Iti oj is right, but for a large meteor we'd all be speaking velociraptor,

What you see is that science currently is still dominated by people who really only understand cause and effect. Sure many accept quantum physics, but then they have a very cause and effect interpretation of it, and the part they can't interpret in terms of cause and effect is invariably denoted as "weird", and then accepted but ignored.

The whole idea of freedom, of how things are chosen in the universe is currently ignored. Creationist science can only work on a basis that freedom is accepted as a reality. That is the situation now, but scientists are already scraping the bottom of the cause and effect barrel. There is only so far you can go to explain things in terms of cause and effect.

Evolution theory basicly states that in principle every aspect of an organism changes in every direction, and natural selection then limits these changes to forms which are organized in terms of reproduction. It's not really a theory, the torrent of degradation would be too large for natural selection to cope with.

What happens instead is that fully functional adult organisms are chosen in the DNA world, the DNA system being basicly similar to a 3D computergame. That also explains how organisms develops into adulthood, they develop guided by a representation of the fully functional adult organism in the DNA.

Creationism will win out, and in the future people will learn evolution theory mainly in history class, in relation to scientism, social darwinism, the holocaust, the general madness of the 20th century.

The proper term is causality.

Yea. That's all counter-factual garbage in your head.

Almost correct.

It's not really a theory, the torrent of degradation would be too large for natural selection to cope with.

Complete hogwash.

What happens instead is that fully functional adult organisms are chosen in the DNA world, the DNA system being basicly similar to a 3D computergame. That also explains how organisms develops into adulthood, they develop guided by a representation of the fully functional adult organism in the DNA.

The two are basically nothing alike. You completely wrong and lack any support.

Creationism.

Because ill-informed ideologues tend to be violent and violence tends to win battles.

Yeah, but remember, the well-informed scientists control the last smalpox cultures and know how to make the vaccines, it would not be much of a battle.
