Problems with the theory of evolution.

[Doubting Thomas]

So apparently we are living beings that evolved from lifeless materials.

But I bet you believe in the Genesis 2 story where God created Adam from a pile of dust, don't you?

One more quick thing. If there is no oxygen in space, then how does the sun keep burning? We all know that fire needs oxygen to keep burning.

Oh my fucking god, someone please tell me this is a poe or troll.

Hi. I'm new here so this will be my first post. I'm Jamie from Alabama.

Hi Jamie! I'm Russell from Alabama too!

I'm a proud Baptist

Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

Proverbs 13:10 Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.

and I'd like to point out a few inconsistencies I found in the theory of evolution.

If there are inconsistencies in the theory of evolution you have not given any example in this post.

The first point I'd like to make is in relation to the age of the earth and how it ties in with "evolution". I'm a young earth creationist. I believe that God created the earth approximately 5,000-6,000 years ago, and there is a good reason for this belief.

As a Russell from Alabama I can only admit my shame that my states breeds people with such beliefs.

Atheist scientists will tell us that the earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old, but this is impossible. Please hear me out and let me explain before you scoff and abandon this thread.

Atheist scientists believe that we evolved from stardust (even just saying it in a sentence sounds silly lol)

An old Earth is entirely consistent with everything else we understand about the world. A young Earth is not.

During a supernova, when a massive star explodes at the end of its life, the resulting high energy environment enables the creation of some of the heaviest elements including iron and nickel. The explosion also disperses the different elements across the universe, scattering the stardust which now makes up planets including Earth. Any element heavier than hydrogen is ultimately a product of the nuclear fusion that takes place within stars.

So apparently we are living beings that evolved from lifeless materials.

There is nothing special about the elements that living beings are composed of. In and of themselves they are just lifeless materials.

It doesn't make much sense to me because last weekend I was sitting by a lake pondering God's marvelous creation when I picked up a rock and stared at it. It suddenly dawned on me that if that very rock was 4.6 billion years old like athiest scientists say it is, then rocks would have evolved into intelligent creatures also. If evolution really was true and we all evolved from lifeless materials over 4.6 billion years, then that rock should also be a mammal or an insect or something by now. But there it was, still a useless rock, just sitting there. No brain, no self-awareness. Nothing.

Ah yes the divine fallacy. Otherwise known as an argument from incredulity. This is a form of non sequitur reasoning. I don’t like your answer therefore goddidit.

This is another point I'd like to make. In my senior year of science class my teacher (who I also suspect is an atheist) was explaining to us that humans developed large complex brains because "we integrated meat into our diets a long time ago".

The modern human brain is two to three times larger than that of our closest relatives, chimpanzees. But to supply energy to such metabolically demanding tissue, a distinct trade-off in energy allocation had to evolve. Meat and other protein-rich foods were evolutionary drivers of bigger, more complex human brains.

Sounds silly to me. We started eating meat and the protein made us evolve a larger more complex brain, resulting in superior intelligence? Okay... well we aren't the only species that eats meat lol. Why didn't other animals evolve to be as intelligent as us? I can name dozens and dozens of animals that eat meat, but can you name how many lions you've met that attended university and became doctors? When you went to high school did you have a grizzly bear teacher? Have you ever had your taxes done by a dog accountant? Nope, not me anyways. A human did my taxes this year.

Also, I did some research on something else. Apparently the total amount of water on earth is "1.386x10^21 liters", whatever that means. I don't know what the X and the ^ is for, but I'll continue anyways. There are almost 7 billion people on earth, so let's assume that human beings drink two liters of water a day, which could be true for some people. Some people drink a lot of water. That would mean that every human being on this planet collectively drinks 12x10^9 liters of water a day (I'm pretty sure that's right, I had to ask some Asian guy I know to do the math for me. I kinda suck at math)

Now here's what I'm getting at... atheist scientists say that life evolved around 3 billion years ago, so this would mean that human beings alone (excluding animals) would have consumed 9.5 times the amount of water on this planet. This is obviously impossible, because if this were true our oceans would be completely drained by now. So how do we still have large amounts of unused water?

One more quick thing. If there is no oxygen in space, then how does the sun keep burning? We all know that fire needs oxygen to keep burning.

Honey, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you kinda suck at a lot of things. Critical thinking being very high on the list.

Must be losing my touch. I couldn't hit this. It would be too much like violating that rock whose lack of consciousness so much surprised her.

Well my vote is this being a one post troll. There are so many straw men in that post it looks like a scarecrow family reunion. I'd really like to think that someone couldn't be that stupid, but the OP came off as a young, brainwashed, and naive person.

I am as cynical about human intelligence as they come, and even I refuse to believe that anyone could be this stupid.

Oh poor Pappy, you must be ashamed all the time..

Why did this have to be the first thread I read after waking up? So much derp!

[Doubting Thomas]

Over the weekend, my father-in-law cut his finger and had to go to the emergency room. There was a lady there who brought in her child because he had gone swimming and may have gotten water in his ear.

Yes, human stupidity is boundless.

Then I refuse to believe people are this stupid out of fear for my own psychological well-being.

If I accept people are this stupid, it may lead to me throwing myself off of a tall cliff.
