Evolution is a religion not science


Evolution means the process by which the different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth. No one can prove evolution that all life can be explained by natural processes and that no God is involved because one can only observe what exists in the present and not the past. We know that there were no scientists or any human being millions of years ago to witness the forming of the first life of any kind, and of course, we cannot repeat the occurring of the event just so we can take down the observations. All the information and evidence the scientists have is from the research that only exists right now in the present.
“…evolution is the backbone of biology and biology is thus in the peculiar position of being a science founded on unproven theory. Is it then a science or a faith? Belief in the theory of evolution is thus exactly parallel to belief in special creation. Both are concepts which the believers know to be true, but neither, up to the present, has been capable of proof.” L.H. Matthews, "Introduction to Origin of the Species, by Charles Darwin (1971 edition), pp. x, xi.
Evolution is a religion because there is no actual information and fact to prove it, so we can either become evolutionists who believes that the theory is true and follow the theory or we can ignore this and spend our times on things we might actually be able to find out the truth to. For things that cannot be proven, no one is there to tell us what is true and false. It is true if we truly believe in it.“As the creationists claim, belief in modern evolution makes atheists of people. One can have a religious view that is compatible with evolution only if the religious view is indistinguishable from atheism.” Will Provine, No Free Will. Catching Up with the Vision, Ed. By Margaret W. Rossiter (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1999) pS123.
