1. The Bible states very clearly that God created man and woman in the Garden of Eden. Since the Bible was written during human history, we must believe that the stories in are true.

• First there isn’t proof about God. The Bible is just a holy book, second evolution doesn’t say anything about God. Even pope John Paul II contends that the time-tested theory of evolution does not refute the presence of God.
• It doesn’t matter if there is proof about God or not. We believe in him, so we have to believe that everything in the Bible is true. Evolution does say that modern humans evolved from earlier primates, so it means that God couldn’t have created them in Garden of Eden. Therefore, I refuse to believe in evolution.
• Why do you believe in God and not in evolution? Evolution has evidence and God doesn’t have proof.

2. Humans are not able to create real living cells from zero in a laboratory, so the first cells must have come from some higher, magic power. If cells could be created scientifically from nothing, then maybe we could believe evolution. The point is, SOMEBODY like God must have put the first cells on Earth, since we can’t make them with the stuff that is already on Earth.

• Cells didn’t form as they are today. They formed with less complexity billions of years ago. Then things like algae made photosynthesis, and evolved to more complex organisms.
• If that is the case, then we can never prove evolution, because we don’t know how to create those first simple cells. If we can’t show how those cells were made on Earth, we have to believe that God made them in Heaven.
• At least there is a lot of evidence about evolution but there isn’t any proof about God. Even the Greeks that built statues and temples without proof of that, and now they are used as stories for kids.

3. If humans evolved from primates like chimpanzees or orangutans, why do those animals still exist today? If we evolved from them, they should have disappeared and become humans.

• We didn’t evolve from modern primates. Instead, we evolved from a common ancestor tens of millions of years ago.

4. There is no scientific evidence to support the Bible.

• All the places in Bible are real places. Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, all those places exist in the real world. Also, some of the buildings from that time still exist today, like Babylon is in the Bible. So, there must be at least some truth to the stories inside.
• Somebody crazy but real must have written the Bible. Also, God couldn’t have known about those places because we created them, not him.
• God can see everything from Heaven, so after we created those places, he learned their names.
• Whoever wrote the Bible was living on Earth and was a normal human.

5. Why did God wait until he did to send us the Bible? By the time he gave us the Bible, there were many religions and it just caused more conflict between the different believers. Why would he do something like that? Also, why does every religion have its own holy book? There should be just one God, so we shouldn’t have so many holy books.

• The Bible probably existed a long time before we wrote it down. The problem was, that we didn’t know how to write that long ago. So, once we learned how to write, we finally wrote down the Bible.
• Maybe there is only one God, but he sends different messages to different groups of people. For example, Native Americans lived among the trees and rivers, so it makes sense that God made their religion about trees and rivers.
• If God was so wise, he could have created peacefully co-existing religions. But he didn’t, and many conflicts occurred as a result.
• Perhaps God wanted to test us. He made us different, and hoped that we would work together. But, we ultimately failed and had many conflicts instead.
