Evolution is the process of natural selection and has never been wrong. so if that is the case and we know how the Universe began is there religion?
Your question is a series of non-sequiturs. Evolution is a process that involves natural selection, but I do not know what you mean by ‘has never been wrong’ or how the rest of your question follows.
Ignoring your premise (since evolution cannot be “right” or “wrong” any more than the course of a river is) – are you asking if religion exists?
oh not again.
WUT?
Can you explain how one rolls into the other?
Also, do you deny genetic drift and sexual selection?
No i’m asking because we know evolution is a fact and that the Universe started in the Big bang why do people still insist on believing in a god there is no proof for.
Ok, responding to the clarification:
Mostly because they don’t fully understand evolutionary theories, and because they have been taught that to accept them as factual is an affront to the supposed truthfulness of their religion.
There have been many experiments to test for evolution. they have all confirmed that it is a FACT. How do you think bacteria has become resistent to antibiotics because it felt like it? How do you think dogs came about? why do people say dogs come from wolves?
There’s a bit to quibble with in your first two premises - but I’ll let it drop.
Neither evolution or the Big Bang explicitly rule out “God”. Further, just because the scientific evidence points one way doesn’t mean that people will accept it.
Yes the concepts are different. But the point is we know the beginning, and we know how we got here. Why do people look at this and say it isn’t true?
Religion imbues the random events of our lives with meaning. Since recognizing patterns and responding to them is a fundamental survival strategy, any conceptual framework that makes chaos SEEM organized is very seductive to us.
Why won’t people except science? Are they ignorant? Are they stupid? It is like saying the earth is flat and believe it or not in America some people do believe the earth was flat
Still three separate and unrelated topics.
Evolution has nothing to do with the origin of the universeor belief in a higher power.
The origin of the universe has nothing to do with evolution or belief in a higher power.
Belief in a higher power has nothing to do with evolution or the origin of the universe.
We ‘know’ the beginning?
The Big Bang refers to the expansion of space from the planck point, it is not an ultimate explanation for existence. So there is room to smuggle a God in there.
Let’s assume that there wasn’t any room to smuggle God in there. That doesn’t rule out God’s existence logically. God could still exist in some nether realm, for instance.
true but this chaos no longer needs a god. That is why we have science. Science can explain many things that god was needed for. the creation of earth, the Universe and the church has actually surpressed science for hundreds of years. Look at the dark ages.
You seem to be assuming that people ONLY believe in the God of the gaps.
While this might hold true for a lot of people, it is not the only reason people believe in God.
A higher power was invented to explain the origin of everything and a reason why everything happens. It has everything to do with the Big bang. I only used those to as examples to show God didn’t create the Universe or man like the bible says.
If god does nothing then he is a sadistic evil man. He is willing to watch millions die of hunger and thirst. Would you want to spend eternity with someone like that? I wouldn’t.
Because people are people. Some people want to follow religion, some people want to follow science and some people want to cherry pick from both. Far be it from you to say who has to believe one thing or the other. Besides, if we all blindly followed the same path, what fun would that be?
Why else would people believe in god
We wouldn’t if no one believed in god they wouldn’t agree on what answer science gives is right. It may be that our views on the big bang and how it started are completely flawed. But, at the present no one can supply a solution that explains more. People would fight to explain it better and find out mor. Wars would decrease. terrorism as we know it would be gone.
