Can science explain creation and evolution?

Answer 1

There are two thoughts on the word creation 1. To make something from already existing materials 2. To bring into existence from nothing. As one cannot make something from nothing then the first idea must be the right one. The proper term for this is to organise and not create. The second part of your question regarding evolution is that all things evolved from some minute organism that suddenly came into existence, this is impossible. That evolution is still taking place must be considered in the light that all things are evolving. Man is taller,living longer. Girls are maturing at an earlier age. This is called The Law of Evolution. This is what we must think of when talking on this subject, the Law of Evolution

Answer 2

Science can not explain creation as described in The Bible, because there are too many differences between the biblical account and what science says actually happened, so this must remain in the realm of faith.

Science can explain the evolution of species, because there is ample evidence through the fossils. The evidence of DNA both confirms that evolution has really happened, and helps explain how it happened. Science does not yet explain the exact mechanism for the creation of the first life form on earth, but can provide credible alternatives.

Answer 3

Science could examine Creation (though not explain it completely), but the general paradigm in which Science is taught, is one of mere natural causes, with any consideration of the supernatural being dismissed offhand as "pseudoscience," without so much as a glimpse into the possibility.

Many think that science, and specifically Evolution, have proved that there is no God. They don't comprehend that even if Evolution was an unquestionable fact, it would not automatically follow that God isn't there. They also seem unaware that there are some highly-qualified scientists who do not believe in Evolution. A few examples are Jerry Fodor, Massimo Palmarini, Michael Behe, and Thomas Nagel, among others.

Evolution is fraught with difficulties and it remains in fact a theory, open to dispute by people who choose to avoid ignoring its problems. It can neither be proven nor demonstrated in the lab (in its broader sense of giving rise to new organs or species).

Answer 4

Science can explain the process of evolution through natural selection and genetic variation, supported by evidence from fields such as genetics and Paleontology. However, the concept of creation, typically associated with religious beliefs, falls outside the scope of scientific explanation as it involves questions of metaphysics and faith. Science focuses on natural phenomena that can be empirically studied and tested.
