The human body is actually more complex than the whole universe. It is so sophisticated, that by itself speaks of a Creator. In spite of that, people studying sciences and medecine shun Creation and believe in evolution. It is enigmatic to say the least.

So much misunderstanding, so little time. Not all scientists believe in evolution. Many who do, also believe in creation. Many creationists also believe in evolution. Nearly all scientists and Christians and Jews believe in Darwinian evolution. Survival of the fitness is well demonstrated. Genetic variations have propagated or terminated according to their value to the organism. You don’t get much disagreement until you try to look for evidence of one species ‘evolving’ into another. It’s hard to make the case that this is how all species happened when there’s no evidence that it happened even once. The next challenge is making the case that life originated chemically. The Big Bang theories contemplate the history of the universe from a starting point of an extremely dense concentration of matter and energy. But none of those theories address where the matter and energy came from or what was just ‘before’ the Big Bang.
The motivation to deny the existence of a Creator is large indeed. If you acknowledge a Creator, then you must consider your obligation to obey that Creator. That’s no enigma, that’s just human nature.
No self-respecting scientist would take something on face value alone. Something must be proven before it can be taken seriously.
There has been a lot of evidence to show that evolution took place and little to show that everything was suddenly brought into existence.
To suggest that just because something is complex that it could not have developed naturally is ignorant. Science does not work on ignorance.
Also, your comment about the human body being more complex than the universe – that’s a load of BS, there are a lot more things even on this planet that are more complex than a human’s body. Again this shows ignorance in this area.
Evolution is only a scientific theory, and should be regarded as one. Some things point towards it, some don’t, but for the time being it is the best we have. I’m a Christian, but I’m also a Nuclear Engineer/Plasma Physicist. Everything happens/happened for a reason, whether you believe it was natural or some creator did it. Doesn’t really matter! Why is there gravity, nuclear force, or electromagnetic force? That is what we want to know. If you believe in a creator, then once we figure EVERYTHING out and why it happened, we will be having a conversation with that creator. And that is something that even you can respect.
The bible tells us that many will be WILLINGLY IGNORANT of the glories that He has created. That means dumb on purpose.
2nd Peter chapter 3 tells that scoffers will come in the last days as well.
Scientists choose to believe in evolution because of the way evidence presents itself to them. But the good thing is, scientific theories are fluid – they change with every new discovery. A man of faith may assume that a scientist is ‘myopic’ while a man of science may accuse a Christian of being overly presumptious. However, there are many new encouraging trends of science and religion reconciling. I have read about many scientists who have converted to Christianity after trying to dispute God’s presence. I guess, things will only be revealed to all of us in God’s time.
because science has proved it to be true. Why are so many people focused on creation? Just because we are complex doesnt mean we arent evolved. Sorry.
I think you are wrong.
Scientists shun your creation – your idea of 6000 years as age of the Earth. That’s what they shun
Many scientists are happy to accept that there could be a creator.
It is simply that all evidence makes nonsense of your idea of creation.
where did the creator go to college…was it stanford, berkeley….usc ok…harvard……r u kidding me…..where did she/he learned all this stuff ? common…get real …oh maybe a home cloud online class…hey vote for bush on a third term to get iraq right with creation…anything can happen
science demands answers to all questions and “God” isn’t a valid reason because we don’t know everything about God, so science tests theories in which they attempt to prove everything.
Basically, unless something can be proven (which God cannot be,) it cannot be used as a valid proof.
Science requires proof not faith. Since faith is required to believe in a creator, and there is no direct proof science must look at evidence found in fossils to figure out what has existed on this planet long before we came along. It is possible to believe that a creator may have started things in motion billions of years ago and has observed the progress of living creatures since that time. Science and faith can co-exist and while science should not ignore the faith of millions of people it has so far not been able to explain the evolution that has taken place. The fossil records cannot be ignored and so far evolution seems to be the best explanation.
Evolution by natural selection is massively powerful, and can easily account for complexity.
There is no enigma in science. Of course the universe is complex, much too complex for a simplistic creation doctrine. Early people imagined a flat earth with the sun and moon circling overhead. Had the known what the universe is really like they would never have invented religion in the first place.
My thoughts exactly. The human body is far too complex to have built itself. Aside from humans, look at nature. An apple tree’s fruit tastes good so animals will eat it, and travel, and their dung will plant a seed for a new tree. I’m sure the trees thought of this themselves. Thank you, God.
If you had a better background in biological science, I think you’d understand things in a different light. It’s not just our own complexity but our relatedness to the complexity of other organisms. There are patterns we can trace in nature that run back for billions of years. It’s magnificently complex – infinitely so. We don’t need to evoke creation to account for our limited human capacity. The universe is way bigger than we are; who says we’re smart enough to know it all? We’ll never know it all but we understand the basics well enough and our knowledge continues to grow.
If you bother to get into it, and have the capacity to understand it, belief in evolution is inevitable.
By your reasoning, wouldn’t something as complex as a creator need a creator?
Evolution does not imply that no god exists. It is indifferent to the matter. You are free to believe there is a god if you want, without dis-believing in evolution as the two don’t conflict.
Even if there were a god who did design things to occure as they have, the study of evolution looks at the details and steps, not the entity that drew them up.
You aren’t really asking a question, you are pushing a viewpoint disguised (thinly) as a question.
I will try to answer anyway. The vast majority of scientists believe in evolution because it is an elegant solution to many complex questions in biology, and the vast majority of evidence points to it being the correct answer.
The problem with intelligent design or creationism is that it asks us to stop asking the hard questions. I may look at a flaggellum and say, “wow, that’s complex. I wonder how it became so? Let me try to find out.” ID or creationism basically tells me “Hey, god designed this flaggellum, so there is no way for us to figure it out”. If this is true, why even try? Even if I try, I will inevitably introduce god to explain any problem that is too hard for me. That is not a good way to do research.
Ego trip my friend ! just plain and simple ego trip. They wanted to proved among themselves that they know better than us ordinary mortals, who lacks the expertise and talent to explain things using high fallutin , tecnoquack words they themselves invented.
Me, I’m a mere ordinary mortals who see myself and my fellowmen perfect because everytime I see myself and my fellow , I SEE THE IMAGE OF GOD.. Believe you me there is a GOD !! have a nice day !!
Because though the body and especially the mind is ever changing, thats evolution. We modify ourselves to fit our enviroment. Again evolution. Creation is an idea that doesn’t include change.
because when we look at fossils we belive that humans evolved into smarter creaturs. but how the eairleast creatures came about is the mystery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
In addition to the complexity of the human body evolution defies the law of entropy. No where in nature does simple become complex it is always the opposite.
Also more recently astronomers have discovered that the way the planets in our solar system revolve around the sun is rare if not unique. Most planets orbit their sun on a death march and will eventually collide with their sun.
Why is our solar system this way? Why is the earth the only planet in our solar system with an electromagnetic field around it that shields us from most of the sun’s radiation. Why is it that if our planet was just a little closer to the sun or a little further away life could not be sustained?
How is it that in evolution the concept of the first living cell dividing without inherent instinct to tell it to reproduce?
If it is survival of the fittest where are the species that were almost fit. What happened to all of the hominids that lived contemporary to man?
I submit that it takes just as much and almost the same kind of faith to believe in evolution as it does in creationism. I think evolution appeals mostly to those that think that empirical evidence is superior to any other types of evidence. That explains the very condescending comments by such atheists.
The hubris of people who think that science is the answer to all the questions of life is astounding to me. Science is about finding the answers nothing more. Religion too is about finding answers and sometimes the only way those answers come is by living your life in a certain way.
The only real difference between the two are the questions that are being asked and who is being asked. Scientists ask nature and religionists ask deity.
Fairly simple answer, scientists have intelligence and the willingness to look past their own egos when examining the universe.
You’ve answered your own question without even realizing it. Let’s examine how complex any animal is… the number of systems, the number of variables within each system that keeps it working properly, the ways in which these systems interact to keep the animal alive… pretty darn complex. OK, now look at the human animal… all of the same features except a highly functioning brain which allows us to ponder such complex things.
OK, so we know how complex we are, how complex do you think a being who can create life, or even an entire universe would have to be? I would say it must be infinitely more complex than any of us can ever hope to be. So, if a complex system absolutely must be created by a more complex system, who created this creator… and who then created that creator, and so on. Remember each step up makes this being more and more complex.
You can’t claim that man or the universe cannot form through purely natural means but then posit that some god figure can… it’s an illogical claim.
scientists are more qualified to theorize than you ignorant people who make up little ‘facts’ like “the human body is more complex than the universe”
that statement is rediculous. the arrangement of the human bodies atoms is no more complex than a dirt or rock pile’s. the only difference is life began tiny and has had billions of years to adapt itself into the complex forms it exists as today.
you can cling to your protective religeon but it’s the scientists who have the courage to think about and accept death. all your religeon is is a “little shield” around your brain that protects you from facts. just wait until it fails and you have your midlife crisis
Because they want to convince themselves that they know everything and how everything works, they don’t believe in superior forces or magic. They are machines only capable of interpreting rationality.
