Why is everything a certain colour? Evolved or created? Where does colour or color come from?
Friday, December 25, 2009 at 1:32PM Does science know? where do colours or colors come from? I say they cannot dismiss God.
before you read on can I just say that there are many things about colour that say we must be a creation. But without going on about different things that have colour, my main point is that there must have been intelligence before the earth was formed; well I know there is. If you have reached this page please read on. If you do not read on that is fine I will cut to the chase and say something that will make sense though everything written makes sense.
I can give you one valid point to the existence of a creator, there are more but this is aimed at what science says, that colour comes from rods and cones in the eye, where did the knowledge of colour come from to form these rods and cones in the eye if there was no knowledge of colour to form them? If they formed without any knowledge of colour, how did they form knowing what colour was?
everything has a colour, does it not? The question is evolved or created? well even though I cannot give a straight answer to where colour actually come from, I can only presume it came from God. You may say how can looking at colour say there is a God.
look at the world everything is a colour, the question is how did everything get it's colour? everything a human being has made has got a certain colour.
How can I say to you that there is a God by talking about colour?I can't say there is a God by telling you about colour but I can say to you that it seems absurd to think that through evolution the world gave colour to everything.
I suppose science has an answer to what colour is and where it comes from, but I submit this to you. science says that there is no intelligence in evolution. I say there must be inteligence that created the human race, I have many things I would like to talk about, to the fact that DNA has boundaries, but I am talking about colour.
everything has a colour from flowers, fish everything has a colour, what decided what colour everything should be?
If we just evolved then colour would be completely random surely, from the colour of your eyes, your hair to the colour of your skin. If we just evolved then why is everything coloured accordingly? you see every human being that makes something puts colour to it.
How did evolution decide what colour everything would be? Why is there not different coloured people? orange or purple or blue.
If there is no intelligence in evolution then how is everything coloured as it is? everything seems to be coloured accordingly.
Its not where colour came from or what colour is, the question is why is everything the colour that it is?
you would think if we just evolved that even the colour of plants would be random, now I know a little about photosynthesis, and that it gives the colour to leaves, making them green but why green? and if this causes the stems of plants and the leaves to be green then why is there so many different coloured flowers?
Also; why are things just one colour? Surely if we evolved then colour would be so random that everything would be different colours, but it's as if everything is coloured accordingly befitting to it's surroundings. people don't grow with green hair and purple teeth.
Look at the colour of everything and ask how did it get it's colour? Its as if the world is a canvas and it has been painted in. If there are any comments about colour just look at the colour of fish, your hair, peoples eyes, the eyes of birds and animals, what coloured the eyes and why do the colours befit there subject?
Why is everything coloured accordingly?
Its imposable to think that we just evolved, this is one fact that I have though of. to think that the earth and every living thing is coloured accordingly.
Why do we not grow with purple hair? And why don't we grow with orange eyes? why is the colour of fire the colour it is? absolutely everything has colour. Ask yourself why is it the colour that it is?
I have been told about rods and cones in the eye; that perceive colour, but the same person said it was the chemical compound of the subject matter.
Take a fish for example, they are colourless according to these scientists, because the colour is from within the eye, but also by the same person it is the chemicals that react with the rods and the cones so that we see colour.
Surely then they are contradicting themselves saying one minute it is the rods and cones in the eye that see the chemical compound of the thing that has colour. Can somebody elaborate.
I can only come to the conclusion that if colour comes from the eye; then nothing has colour, but it is the chemical compounds that enable us to see colour; therefore, whichever way anybody says they know about colour, there must be knowledge of colour before colour was. whether from within the eye or the chemical compound.
If you don't believe in God, then the earth coloured everything either with rods and cones or the chemical compounds of the subject matter by refractions of light.
Either way if you think there was no colour, then where did the knowledge of colour come from? something or somebody must have had knowledge of colour even to form the complexity of the eye to see colour, or to even use the chemicals to enable the eye to see the colour.
many atheist say prove there is a God, but surely by stating facts that it is impossible to have evolved then you are actually in some way proving that there is a God; by saying it is impossible to have evolved.
to me it is impossible that we just evolved and that there is no higher power, but I cannot just submit to you about God or Jesus Christ. In some ways I have to seek things that have been missed, simple things that actually make the world the intelligence behind itself, or that there is a higher intelligence and power that is out there.
I think by submitting my ideas about colour then you may actually say I have made a good point, and that if we just evolved why is there not purple people, or orange people with pink hair, why is there so many fish in the sea that have many different colours and paterns when there is no reason for them to have particular colour. I hope I have explained this as best as I can, you really have to look at the world to find God, but I assure you he is there.

Was colour chosen or is it random?( it's not to random to have evolved)
Even though if you think we evolved, even the colours that humans use are part of the creation, even though humans have used the colours that the earth has provided!
This means that the intelligence of humans has used the colours that the creation has given us, surely then because humans use colour than the things that humans have not coloured, must have been given colour by some sort of intelligence, it’s as if the world is a canvas and God is the artist)
If you don’t believe in God; you have a planet that coloured itself, you may say “what’s the point; that everything has colour, where did colour come from?”
If we evolved, then how did evolution decide what colour everything would be? The bark on the trees is befitting as being brown. Do not say all bark is not brown I know that, like the silver birch. But why is bark not purple or blue, or outlandish colours, why are the colours in the world befitting.
What about all the greenery, what chose green for the colour of leaves? (Some will say photosynthesis, but did photosynthesis make the colour green, why could it not have been another colour?) Photosynthesis is no answer why it chose green!
Wood is mostly brown; the foliage is green, all the different coloured flowers and species of flower, what decided this if we evolved? The hair on your head, and the colour of your eyes; If then we evolved; what put the colours to the planet?
All eyes are the same chemical compound! (What coloured the eyes)
Take the eyes for instance what gave them certain colours, why have people not got red eyes, purple eyes, the same with hair?
Why are the colours befitting to humans and not outlandish? How could a planet that evolved choose the colours that the trees would be and your eyes and hair? If we just evolved then where did colour come from? How did a planet that has no intelligence put colour to all the flowers?
There are many different colours in the world and many things are coloured accordingly. How did evolution decide that it would not use all the colours on the world within us as humans? Why did we not evolve purple or red, orange or blue? Even to the colour of your skin, why are people a certain colour? How did evolution decide what colour our bodies would be, from the colour of our blood, to the colour of your skeleton?
Surely because there are so many colours in the world everything would be all colours if we just evolved?
Imagine orange, purple animals, you may say that many colours; colour many species, but what gave them there colours and what decided what colour everything would be? Even to the animals that change to there surroundings.
If u say a polar bear is white because it has adapted to it's surroundings then the only thing that can cause a change in colour would be the eye; because it is the thing that sees the colour, the only thing that has knowledge of colour is the eye.
Does the eye have to power to change a persons appearance so that it can hide in it's surroundings?
if you put a brown bear surrounded it by other colours would it change? How would it know how to change? so its absurd to think that evolution gave certain colours to certain animals for camouflage, because it is the eye that knows about colour not the skin or fur of an animal.
Also; the pigmentation of the skin would have to be able to change for changes to develop, If a colony of people lived in a forest, then would there skin turn green in the next hundred thousand years? No because the skin can't change colour.
If you lived in the desert would you end up with skin the same colour as the sand? So how can anybody say that evolution has given certain animals camouflage into there suroundings? you may say the skin is the colour it is because of the sun, so why is there not different coloured people that have adapted to the surroundings? What colour are the animals in the desert, there not all the colour of the sand?
How does a Chameleon know about colour?
The chameleon for example changes colour. What put the colours to the chameleon and enabled it to change colour to its surroundings?
If it just evolved it would have to know about what colour is?
If the chameleon can change colour then it deceives its enemies for protection, it must be changing the chemicals in its body to be able to do this, so how can colour come from these rods and cones that are in the eye?
Colour therefore cant come from within the eye, otherwise the chameleon would have to change the rods and cones that are in the eyes of it's enemy. This is a perfect example that somebody is wrong, because the chameleon changes to it's surroundings, therefore it must know about the colour of its surroundings.
Think a little deeper and you will see as I see. Somebody or something must have knowledge about colour? if somebody is colour blind then they cannot see certain colours so you would think that colour would come from within the eye, but that does not explain why the chameleon can change colour.
Maybe the rods and cones are perfectly aligned to see the chemical compounds of everything, therefore if something needs to be so perfect that it can be defective.
How did evolution become so perfect? It seems that colour has two parts it needs to know about the colour that it sees and transmits the information to the brain. Whatever you say to me the complexity of seeing colour would need somebody to know about colour even to form rods and cones.
There must be intelligence that formed the earth, How is everything coloured accordingly?
My point is there must be intelligence within the world to associate colour with the planet. The human race could have been purple or orange.
evolutionists are saying there is no intelligence in evolution that the earth is just a ball of rock, did everything colour itself by chance, why are the leaves on trees mainly green, the stalks to plants are mainly green why are the flowers different colours and the stems of the flowers one colour?
If you think then the world was a baron waist land before it had things upon its surface, what gave colour to the rocks and all living things, what gave colour to the gold that would have been in the world before anything had been given life?
The fish in the sea are a perfect example, the fish in certain parts of the world have many colours and patterns, what put the colour to there body? How did the planet give these fish there patterns and gave them colour? How did evolution give colour to the planet and decide what colour everything would be?
Everything has colour, even fire has colour what decided the colour of the flame? The sun would have been there from the beginning creating colours in the sky, but what gave the colour to the sky? Therefore before the creation of the planet earth there must have been colour and the planet would have had colour before anything else that came upon it’s surface.
Therefore if there was a big bang that the world evolved out of, what evolutionists are saying is colour would have been there before a cell that apparently evolved to make humans. So the planet therefore evolutionist are saying that the world gave itself colour.
What stops the fur on animals being you could say silly colours, for instance a purple lion, but if we evolved then the planet that evolved gave colour accordingly, so it seems. The hair upon your head though there are many colours in the world why did evolution decide that we would not grow with blue hair?
The sky produces many colours, the rainbow has colours. How do you explain where all the colours of the universe come from? Something must have decided what colour everything should be, sounds unreal to think that through evolution that the planet decided what colour everything should be.
The boundaries of the thought of where colour comes from must certainly make you think, but if you think that we just evolved then what put the colour to everything that has colour? Why have birds got different coloured eyes to humans, because the seagull has yellow eyes, if one species of animal has certain coloured eyes? Then how come all the colours of all eyes are not combined? This should tell you that something decided to give a seagull yellow eyes.
The colours of the world have been chosen; by whom, the earth? I thought the earth had no intelligence, then if the earth has no intelligence how come it chose to colour a seagulls eyes yellow and a humans not yellow?
Have a look round yourself see the unseen, look for the things that make the earth intelligence. When you can understand that it is impossible for the earth to have intelligence and choose things like colour, when colours that where there before humans put colour to the earth. You have to believe that there is intelligence behind the creation.
Could it be God I wander? Here are a few examples of how colour has been used in the earth. Have a think how the colour, coloured the things accordingly, because if we just evolved then how the earth could have decided anything is beyond me?
Wherevere colour or sight comes from then there must have been knowledge of colour before the earth formed, this is a fact. How then did these rods and cones form if there was no knowledge for them to form?
this is an email that somebody sent me
First of all, objects do not have a colour. Colours are made in the eye. I have a colleague who is colour blind. Often he asks me to come to his computer screen and then he asks me if something is red or green, because he cannot see the difference that clear. He clearly sees different colour than I do, because for me the difference between red and green is very obvious. Furthermore, the colour seen by our eyes are processed by our brain. There are enough optical illusions that show that our brain changes the colour depending on its surrounding or even the interpretation of the figure. This is even true for brightness. You say that it is remarkable that plants are green. But if all plants would have been red, you would have found that normal as well. But it is not even the case that all plants are green. There are also trees with red leaves.
And your argument that evolution would result in animals and plants have random colours it totally flawed. First of all, colours are determined by the chemical properties of materials, and it is thus logical that similar materials have the same colour. It is a fact that animals often have a colour that matches their surrounding. Polar bears are white. And there is a simple evolutionary reason to explain this, because the colour is important for their survival. And in a world where only the strongest animals survive (and produce off-spring) the animals that best match their environment survive.
Actually, animals do have all kinds of strange colours. Think about flamingo's for examples, or certain insects have very bright colours. The same is true for plants, especially the flowers. There are even animals that can change colours at will. And evolution can explain all of that.
Sorry, but your reasoning does not convince me in any way. And I hope you realize I am not the only one who is not convinced by your reasoning. If you claim to proof that God exists, you should at least have some basic knowledge about logic and how things are proven in a scientifically way. People with a scientific background will just laugh at your pseudo-scientific reasoning.
This was my reply
firstly if colour is made in the eye, why do most of us see the same colours, so your saying colour comes from within. That's preposterous, why is the colour red seen as the colour red, by almost everybody.
What you are saying then; is it's not that colour at all. that colour does not exist. So why was a certain colour named a certain colour; if the person that named that colour was unsure that everybody would see the same colour?
Apparently evolution has no intelligence. How did it decide the colour of the creature and why does it have to be a certain colour to blend into its surroundings, that would mean the subject matter through evolution, somehow adapted to the eye and not to it's surroundings.
why would something have to blend into its surroundings, but not actually the surroundings but what is within the eye. how did it know what colour it's surroundings where? If you reared an animal in purple surroundings would it adapt and turn purple?
