A battle of mere words .

I've been viewing Christianity in an Atheistic point of view for quite sometime now .
I'm putting one leg into Him and another into the world . After I almost lost it yesterday , I figured that I'm only looking at the "Anti-Christ" side of the argument , bringing it to Ivan , who thankfully was there to help me .

So here I stand(or sit) , to view the "Anti-Evo" part of the big debate , instead of being so critical about my own faith , I'm gonna look into BOTH sides of the debate .

First doubt about Evolution : If we evolved from Monkeys or Primates , why are they still here ?!

Second doubt about Evolution : The theory of evolution states that evolution takes place SLOWLY , like in the gap of a few million years . Well , we know that our heart and our brain has to exist and the exact same time in order to function , without the brain the heart can't function and vice-versa , so if evolution can only take place slowly , how did both our brain and heart come about at the exact same time ? Afterall , they say that we were first tiny little cells .

Third doubt about Evolution : Looking at the things around me , everything seems to be so "perfect" . For example , without trees , we would all suffer , animals would die , we would probably die of hunger . Without sunlight , the trees wouldn't be able to conduct photosynthesis too . The sun is 1.5million KM away from the Earth , any further would cause us to freeze , while any closer would burn us . Looking at just the few of my examples given above , you can see that everything exists in a way that it's 'good' for us . I don't think all of it were just mere accidents ...

Fourth doubt about evolution : The law of Physics states that Matter must be created(I think) , therefore , believing in Evolution and the big bang would contradict this since everything was supposedly an 'accident' and it just 'poof-ed' into existence .

Fifth doubt about evolution : They say that Dinosaurs lived before our time , then why do we dig up archaeological artifacts from the ancient times where the pictures of 'Dinosaurs' were engraved on them ? Didn't they vanish off the face of the earth before we did ?



That's just a few of them .



Another thing I found out when I was reading a book called 'The case for Faith' by ex-Atheist Lee Strobel was this :

As the author was interviewing this Ph.D dude called....Bill Craig ?
The author asked him about whether Miracles directly contradict the Laws of Nature .
It's a long story , and the information given was written with really deep English .
Therefore I'm just going to skip to the example given by Craig , ' For example , the Law of Gravity states that if an apple fell from it's tree , it would fall to the ground . But if I place my hand under the apple and catch it before it touches the ground , does that mean that I contradicted the laws of gravity and we would need to work a new law ? No , it's just human intervention , it didn't go against the laws of gravity . Same goes to miracles , God intervenes this time ...' (It goes something like that , I have no idea how to elaborate or explain further ...This book is tough)


That's all I have for now .
