Greetings,
I think you may find the answers to your questions earlier on in this thread, and in some of the other threads on atheism.
Thanks for telling me that I can find answers to my question in earlier pages, that was a really strange thing, I was shocked to read that.
What?!
I think the science community should definitely be informed of this!
Can you provide any evidence to support this bizarre claim?
Yes, he did start his theory in his book. By publishing it, he made the world aware of it.
As I said, you could have a look at this thread or the others on atheism. Another option might be to click on 'Find more posts' from atheists such as root and myself. For the full professional treatment, you could try reading some of the best books there are giving atheist perspectives, such as David Hume's
Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion or J. L. Mackie's
Miracle of Theism.
Hope that helps.
Peace
Are these things worth discussing?!? Are they!??
They are not!
Next, these athiests start speaking about wanting to believe in God blah blah.. Is that worth talking about?? What's the actual topic we are talking about here? The main thing we need to discuss is "Darwin HIM SELF DID NOT BELIEVE IN HIS OWN THEORY!" Then why the heck is everybody else so blind?!?
Point # 1: I'm quoting now, you can chekup with the book:
Origion of Species, Ch 6 (Diffulcities on Theory), Paragraph 3: "
...the following heads:- Firstly, why, if species
have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradations, do we not everywhere see
innumerable transitional forms?"
Point # 2: I'm quoting now, you can chekup with the book:
Origion of Species, Ch 6 (Diffulcities on Theory), Paragraph 3: "
Why is not all nature in confusion instead of the species being, as
we see them, well defined?"
Point # 3: I'm quoting now, you can chekup with the book:
Origion of Species, Ch 6 (Diffulcities on Theory), Paragraph 4: "
Secondly, is it possible that an animal having, for instance, the structure and habits of a bat, could
have been formed by the modification of some animal with wholly different habits? Can we
believe that natural selection could produce, on the one hand, organs of trifling importance, such as
the tail of a giraffe, which serves as a fly-flapper, and, on the other hand, organs of such wonderful
structure, as the eye, of which we hardly as yet fully understand the inimitable perfection?"
Point # 4: I'm quoting now, you can chekup with the book:
Origion of Species, Ch 6 (Diffulcities on Theory), Paragraph 6: "
Fourthly, how can we account for species, when crossed, being sterile and producing sterile
offspring, whereas, when varieties are crossed, their fertility is unimpaired?"
Atleast READ THE WHOLE BOOK? If you cannot, ATLEAST READ THE WHOLE CHAPTER?
root kept talking about: logic.. etc. what ever that was, Is that all logical?
Will you believe that which root is writing here on the forum, or that which Darwin HIM SELF wrote in the book which is for sale out there at a very low price, WHICH ONE WILL YOU BELIEVE?!?
The time in which darwin was living, people used to believe in things like "Living born out of dead" (Spontaneous Generation) because they thought that when rotten meat is left alone, some small germs are born over it bla bla, that's why living beings can get life from dead.
If you just read the 6th chapter of Darwin's book "The Origin of Species" you'll realize everything he said was nothing.
Before darwin, atheist were there, but when he wrote a book, they found a way out, and started to believe this theory comletly unconditionally. Reason? "
They are afraid, that if somebody proves to them the existance of God, the'll have to obey God's orders."
What they fail to realize is, that If suppose God dosen't exist, then people who believe in God will too become sand with the athiests, but what if God existed? Where will the Athiests go then? There will be no way back to earth. Just on a blind assumption, are you going to risk you whole life of etternity?
Allah promises that if you follow his commandments complely, he'll give you a happy life here, as well as in the hereafter, this is what keeps me connected to Islam. Because Alhamdulilah, before following Islam, I had no connection with peace of Mind, and Now I have, its hardly a year now.
Darwin thought that the new scientific research will help confirm his theory, but it did exactly the opposite:
1. His thory dosen't speak anything about how life "STARTED", it dose talk about its transformation, but nowhere in his book he wrote any logical reson of how the life "STARTED" on earth.
2. There is not a single scientific research which has proved that the self-existant machanism can give birth to Life.
3. The fossils that the Geologists have found are "SHOUTING" that this theory is completly incorrect. (Reffer to the post below)
The first point says that about sevral billion years ago, there was a single cell, which gave rise to humans etc. Therefore, where when and who took the first and foremost step?
This theory says that Inanimate Matter just coninsidently give birth to the first animal on the planet.
Imagin.. coninsidently.. All humans, trees are formed. Humans and trees have nothing in common at all. Yet, they are transformed form of one Another..
After 5 years of Darwin's book, Louis Pasteur's research completely disregarded the theory of Evolution, in his book he mentioned that "
The Idea that living things take birth from non-living is burried for ever in the graveyard of the History."
I can write another book on this topic, if everybody is willing to read and reply, but with LOGIC, not that "I dont want to do that..", "I want to do that.."
No body cares what you want to do and what you don't want to do, comeup with a logic.
