The theory of evolution , beats religion every time

Your title said "The theory of evolution, beats religion every time." And the Christian idea of creation has similarities to the Jewish one, tu such an extent that I felt it was worthy to discuss this with you. You say that I shouldn't have taken up the argument if I was not prepared to argue in the case of religion vs evolution. Christianity isn't the only religion in the world, and funamentalist Christians are not the only branch of the Christian doctrine. As stated earlier, there are millions of believers that have no problem believing in both G-d and in a particular religion. So the theory of evolution can't beat religion if there are religious people that do NOT see the two as being at odds with each other. And it also can't beat religion since it is only a theory. A theory with much support to it, but it still can NOT be proven. On the contrary, many believe that science is there to teach religious people the errors of their religious beliefs. In other words, the evolution of man in science leads to people of a particular religion to EVOLVE in their faith as well. There is considerable proof of this with the amount of Unitary and Inclusive churches that have grown in the last twenty years in Christianity, and inclusive thought in Islam. Your description of Darwin is accurate. But none of that disproves G-d in any way. I'm not doubting evolution. I'm doubting whether religious belief is at odds with it. And while we have certain characteristics in common with the primates, it's quite clear that we've involved in cognitive ability far surpassing that of primates. Now, is there proof of G-d? Yes, I do believe so. Judaism is the only religion that believes in national revelation. We believe that G-d came not to one person, but to the entire nation of Israel. The Torah is very clear that this event was a one time event that will never occur again. It occurred on Mount Sinai. The hebrew word for hate is sinah and is very similar in pronunciation to the name for the mountain. So, in this you have two events that seem to have been fulfilled. 1. No other religion has made the claim of national revelation. Why? Because you can't make a lie on someone elses experiences. I can lie and tell you that G-d told me to do this, or do that. But I can't lie and tell an entire congregation that EVERYONE saw you. You wouldn't believe it because it's your experiences, and you know it didn't happen. The counterpoint would be that it was a scam. Scams are repeated events, that are relatively easy to repeat. So, you have a quandry. Either the Torah was the biggest scam in the history of the world, one that could never be repeated (as the Torah itself predicts!)... or it was true. As a result, the other popular religions must rely on G-d speaking to a prophet, and not to everyone. 2. Since the day the Torah was given to the Jewish nation, the world itself has had to answer the Jewish question. What to do with the Jews? Why do they not believe in my "god?" Why are they willing to die for their beliefs? In picking a hebrew word that is very similar to that of hate, G-d meant to illustrate that the rest of the world will always be deciding the answer to that question. Some, while not taking on the covenant of the Jews themselves have decided to openly accept the Jews as people. Others, have seeked the destruction of the Jews--whether it be by physical means, as Nazi Germany and the many pogoms prior, attempted to do. And today still, some Christian missionaries still seek the destruction of the Jewish soul. These essential truths are only a foundation for the truth that is the torah. Other things that we once thought were truth, we realize through science were incorrect. But these essential two truths remain undeniable. Science is there to further progress our faith, and usually supports it--not denies it. Back to your argument: your premise of the theory of evolution beating religion every time, is with all due respect, a weak one. Your only argument centered around Charles Darwin seeing that birds were different at different islands--and that they adapted to their surroundings. This, in no way, disproves the theory of evolution being incompatible with G-d. And fun debate rangersfootballclub. I would also urge people to vote (I really don't care if I win this debate or not actually) based on who made the better arguments. Did my opponent, at any point say something that could convincingly disproved the idea of G-d and evolution being incompatible? With all due respect, almost none of the theories of evolution that could have been discussed by him were. His theory was based on the same premise that fundamentalist Christians base when they say evolution is incompatible with G-d--a literal interpretation of the Bible.
