Buddhist believe there are no gods. Evolution would be the logical belief they would follow.
Two central aspects of Buddhism are:impermanence- "the only constant is change", andinterdependence - "nothing exists independently from all other phenomena"In this respect, Buddhism is more "compatible" with evolution (change rising from life itself) than creationism (which attributes change to an external, unchanging entity).
Converging Zone - 2012 Creationism vs- Evolution 1-1 was released on: USA: 19 July 2012
This debate has been going on for a long time: Some people believe that we were made by a higher being, others believe that we evolved from primates. It depends on what your perspective (view) is.
Yes...I suppose there are many contradictions. On of the biggest one is Evolution vs. Creationism. Science believes in the Theory of Evolution which is saying that all complex organisms developed from simpler organism. Most religions, believe in Creationism, which is that God designed and created everything.
Of course someone could.
Creationism vs Evolution/abiogenesis still wages today.
I can provide a brief overview of creationism vs evolution. Creationism is a belief that a higher power, usually a deity, created the universe and all living organisms, as described in religious texts. Evolution, on the other hand, is a scientific theory that explains the diversity of life on Earth through processes such as natural selection and genetic variation. The two viewpoints are often seen as conflicting in explaining the origin and development of life.
If you are refering to the Monkey Scopes trial then it would be evolution vs. creationism
The Tennessee trial of John Scopes, also known as the Scopes Monkey Trial, illustrated the conflict between those who held religious beliefs, particularly creationism, and those who supported the teaching of evolution in schools. The trial highlighted the tension between religious fundamentalism and modern scientific thought in American society during the early 20th century. It became a landmark case in the debate over the teaching of evolution in public schools.
The general public in the USA is split roughly three ways: - Those who hold to a more or less literal reading of the Biblical account (some 30%) - Those who accept a naturalistic evolution (another 30%) - Those who believe in a form of theistic evolution (some 20%) (The remaining 20% didn't say.) Note that these figures are completely different if one polls only the higher educated people, or the scientific community, where support for evolution is pretty much complete.
No one has to believe in evolution. Evolution vs creation doesn't really affect our everyday lives that much. We're still ourselves, whether we were created or evolved. It'd be helpful to believe in evolution if you're a scientist in biology and/or archaeology. Some jobs wouldn't make much sense from a creationist perspective.
Buddhism has no creator God, Christianity does. Buddhism can be considered as not a religion, Christianity definitely is. Buddhists believe in rebirth, Christians believe that after death, we go to heaven or hell. Buddhism was founded by an [Enlightened] human, Christians believe that Jesus was the Son of God and is part of the Holy Trinity. Buddhists [unlike any other major world religion] believe that the soul is impermanent [Anatta], Christians believe that after we die, our soul lives on in heaven/hell
