Theory of Evolution and Religion

Let face the facts, There isn't a single scholar in the world that can disprove or doubt the theory of evolution. The evidence is quite overwhelming. What I can't explain is the religious rigid views of the creation and how everyone think that they're the only right explanation.

Well, personally, I don't find anything wrong with the theory of evolution, I find that it has sound premise and overwhelming amount of evidence that if not only solidifies it, makes it even more appealing than some archaic religion views.

My own personal understanding on how this doesn't conflict with religion is quite simple. I think that God didn't just create the universe with spacial perfection, but also with temporal one as well.

For example, there isn't a single period in history that doesn't exist! We might have not known about it, or heard a single story from it. But layers of bedrock, Ice sheets from the polar caps and other mechanisms allow us to know that that era existed whether we knew about it or now.

What this leads to is simple, Humans only appeared on the face of this planet when it was habitable, and ready for them to exist.

Quite frankly, our whole existence on the face of this planet is quite trivial. The oldest known human remains identified dates back to between 400 and 600 thousand years. that's 1/2 a million years ago. Feels like eons .. doesn't it!

But that pales in comparison to when the dinosaurs were extinct, 65 Million years ago (enough time for our whole existence to happen 130 times. If that wasn't enough, the age of the planet is 4 Billion years. Enough for humanity to have started from the very first cave man, to today's modern civilization a staggering 8000 times!

But Humans didn't exist in those times, the planet wasn't hospitable enough for humans to exist. The molten surface, later on the scarcity of food, clean water, huge predators and giant animals would have doomed the existence of man.

What All theories fail to explain is Why Intelligent? Why did humans evolve to acknowledge existence, and have the intelligence to adapt and change their environment. Or Adapt themselves to suit the environment. Without having to further evolve.

This is where the religion bridges the gap. We exist, we are what we are because god created us. We were only created and started to exist on the face of this planet when the almighty saw it as suitable for us to exist.

Some points can never be won with any proof, no matter what we do, there will be this little amount of doubt. Doubt that God exists, and doubt that there is no solid scientific proof that he does. Regardless of what you believe.

The opposite of doubt is faith. You believe that God exist as if you were Certain, but you can never be certain. Because certainty doesn't come free of charge. Once you're certain there is no room for repenting. That's the rule. You can repent as long as there is doubt, but once doubt is out of the equation (ie, after death, when we know everything, and realise all realities away from the glamour of life) Repenting is removed from the options.

There are many philosophical matters that we will never be able to find answers for, (unless we build some time machines) But these matters will always be there, and we might never be able to crack them. They lead to both sides, at the same time ... Faith and no faith, god and no god...

Which one will you chose to follow, is totally up to you ..... But don't dismiss religion as an option until you really understand how religion is not related to the stupidity of the people who follow it.
