No. I accept evolution as valid science; I am Jewish, and believe in the existence of God, although my concept of God is quite different than that of some people.
I know many Christians that accept Evolution. It may contradict and they must plug there ears from time to time. But never the less, the do accept Evolution.
I do admit, Evolution did have a huge impact on me becoming an Atheist. If Evolution is true, then the whole book of Genesis would be wrong. If you actually read the book of Genesis, its really hard to accept with 0 proof and sounds like a made up story. But believe what you want to believe, just keep your belief out of my business.
Evolution and atheism are completely independent. It's only the fundamentalists who seem confused on this point, and who seem to believe that atheism, the scientific method, and evolution are all the same thing.
It doesn't contradict at all. Evolution says nothing about things beyond the natural world. It merely describes how populations of living creatures change over time. Believe what you like.
Not really, it only seems that way because certain religious fun dies accused it of being an atheist conspiracy. Ironically, this only served to make it more popular for atheists.
I guess it's hard for religions to accept science because their religious texts tried to fill in the blanks and jumped to conclusions while doing so.
Yes. Do you want proof? Atheism exists, therefore evolution must have contributed to it.
In fact whether you are atheist, Christian, or Muslim, you ended up that way as a result of evolution. You could make the argument that evolution contributed to any and every belief.
It depends on your argument. It may help.
With Christians, Adam and Eve were the first two humans to set foot on Earth.
If you can prove with evolution that humans evolved from something, not made humanoid by default, you'd be disproving a direct claim from the bible, a book of fundamental truths to Christianity.
Does Evolution Necessary Contribute To Atheism?
