Was man a special creation of god?

Answer 1

There is no scientifically sound evidence supporting the idea that human-kind was a special creation, or was the subject of divine design.

There is a myriad of evidence supporting darwinian evolution, which is accepted by scientific consensus as truth.

An example of tangible evidence that directly challenges divine human design is human vestigiality. Structures such as the tailbone, wisdom teeth, appendix, many muscles, and many more, appear to be leftover structures from our own evolution.

There is a bigger chance of a divine creation than creation by chance. An example is this. Let us think of a monkey typing on a typewriter with 60 keys: 26 small letters, 26 capital letters, a space, a full stop, comma, colon, semicolon, two brackets, and a question mark. Lets say the monkey is to produce the word 'monkey'. The chances of the monkey typing the letter 'm' in a typewriter is 1 out of 60, and the two letters 'mo' is one out of 3600. (1/60 * 1/60), and typing the word monkey is 1 in 46656000000 chances. If the monkey can type at a rate of 3 digits per second, he would take 450 years before typing the word monkey.

If the monkey will have a title of 'Monkeys and Typewriters', would take a million monkeys over a thousand million million million million years (10^27 years) with monkeys at a rate of 3 digits a second. ( this is 10^17 times as long as the age of the universe imagined by cosmologists.)

in a book by Dr. J. C. Whitcomb, in his book The Early Earth, asks the following question against evolution:

How long would it take a monkey, pounding irritationally at a typewriter, to come up with words of Genesis 1:1 ( In the beginning God created the heaves and the earth)? let us give an example of million tireless monkeys pound at a record of 12 keys a second on a simple tyepwriter with only capital letters. Think of rock so large that if the earth were at its center its surface would touch the nearest star. This star is so far from it takes more than four years to get here, traveling at 186000 miles per second. if a bird came once every llin years ad removed an amount equivalent to te finest grain of sand, four such rocks would be worn away before the monkeys would be expected to type Genesis 1:1.

If a monkey would type the NIV version of The Bible, containing 773692 words composed of 3566490 letters. Hence, there are 4340181 letters and spaces in the Bible.

the chance of typing the Bible on a typewriter with only 26 letters and a space is 27 keys on a typewriter. this would take (1/27)^4340181 years or approximately 1 in 10^6200000. this number is 1 followed by 6200000 zeros.

Another way is this: IMAGINE THE UNIVERSE IS 2 BILLION YEARS OLD. AND IF EVOLUTION WERE TRUE, LETS GIVE EVOLUTION 1.5 BILLION YEARS FOR HUMANS TO FORM. IF WE GAVE 2 BILLION YEARS, WHY ARE THERE STILL ANTS, ROACHES, MITES, FROGS. WE GAVE THOSE ANIMALS 2 BILLION YEARS AND THEY STILL EXIST. THEY CANT JUST START EVOLVING STARTING AT LETS SAY, 2000 BC. THEY STILL HAVE LIKE 2.9 BILLION YEARS TO START EVOLVING BUT THEY DONT. WE STILL HAVE LICE, ROACHES, ANTS AND THEY DIDNT EVOLVE!

THERE IS A BIGGER CHANCE MAN WAS MADE FROM CREATION THAN OUT OF NOTHING. MOLECULES CANT APPEAR OUT OF NOTHING.

The above is completely irrelevant because, as many attacks on evolution do, it expresses an extremely poor understanding of evolution. The only process "by chance" in evolution is gene mutation; natural selection operates from there. There is no argument, certainly none by probability, that demonstrates it is more likely that humans are from god than any other source.

Answer 2

Different religious beliefs offer varying perspectives on this question. In some faiths, like Christianity and Islam, humans are seen as a unique creation of God with a special purpose, distinct from other living beings. Other belief systems, such as evolutionary theory, propose that humans have evolved over time like other species.
