Is Darwin's Theory Of Evolution True?

My contention is that the theory that all life on earth evolved from microbes is a scientific irrelevance and is as useless as a fairy tale. If it were removed from human consciousness, applied science wouldn’t notice the difference. The trouble is, I can’t prove it.

Why do you need a physical theory?

Because we live in a natural world with physical laws.

God can suspend the laws of nature .
 
Do you also want a physical theory for how Jesus raised Lazarus for the dead?

At time goes by, science will uncover ever more wonders within the cell. But the determined athesit will still claim it’s all a result of chance. As Salvador Dali said, “I know from my study of science that there is a God - but I don’t believe it.” (or words to that effect)
 
If science becomes god then God can do nothing miraculous - at all. The recent miracles that have elevated people to sainthood are rigorously examined by the Church, but again, if science is all there is, they fall into the ‘no evidence’ category. This denies the Living God that is active today in terms of performing miracles.

No, I mean vampire bats keep producing vampire bats, and parakeets keep producing parakeets…flying squirrels…produce flying squirrels on… and on… there is nothing random about it.

It is a matter of degree. Each of these animals produces animals that are slightly different from their parents - and randomly so. Apparently the only part some have difficultly understanding is the potential for those small variations to add up to a very visible difference, like the difference between a chihuahua and a mastif. Do you think these two dog breeds were separately and specially created by God, or do you think they have a common ancestor?
 
Maybe God should have chosen a plant to inject a soul into instead of a human - it probably wouldn’t have sinned and ruined everything. I think a cauliflower would have been perfect. Adam and Eve Cauliflower, made in God’s image. But what would I know?

Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely,

New Living Translation
1 Corinthians 13:12

One can not understand the Supernatural by using Human reasoning.
 
In that case, Ben Stein’s documentary must have been me hallucinating. You can watch it on Youtube for yourself.

You think a cauliflower would be a suitable nature for a personal soul? You are correct to point out the limitations in your knowledge. .

Or what about transubstantiation? Do you need a physical theory to explain that?

When are these degrees going to add up make some new species… 4 so-called billion years have already passed by and I see nothing.

So according to you the animals of today are basically the same animals that existed millions of years ago?

First of all, science is not becoming a god to the most of those who accept evolution as true.

Second, God can do miraculous things whether or not evolution is true.

Third, it makes no sense to complain that God is left out of evolution. There are many fields of study in which they leave out any mention of God. For example, engineering textbooks that describe how to build a bridge so that is does not collapse - these fields do not have a place for God. Yet no one complains about that. The science of treating kidney failure with dialysis does not mention God, and that’s OK too. The trouble with evolution is that some people come to this subject with a pre-conceived bias assuming that the only way to study the origin of animal and plant species is through divine intervention.

Let’s look at another field of science - fluid dynamics. This is studies a lot and it totally leaves God out of the picture, and that is OK for that field of study. And yet we still have God parting the Red Sea for Moses as a miracle. I suppose you would say that people who study fluid dynamics without reference to God are incapable of believing in that Exodus miracle.

The Church teaches that Adam and Eve were our first parents. Therefore Adam must have been fully human in a physical sense when God breathed a soul into him.

I doubt that you have been alive and observing stuff for 4 billion years. So I assume that when you say you see nothing, you mean by looking at the fossil record you see nothing. That is too bad, because scientists who look at that fossil record and DNA sequencing do see plenty of evidence that those degrees have added up to new species. For a humorous take on this, see this Scientific American piece.

That doesn’t mean Adam’s parents were human.
 
And who or what decided what it means to “behave and change naturally”? What if “nature” behaved and changed in a way that God didn’t like? Would He just have to put up with it?
