humans evolving from monkeys

[Mr Spinkles]

1) The vast majority of biologists agree with evolution. Google "project steve" for more info.

2) When did Newton say anything about evolution? Darwin wasn't even born yet when Newton was alive...

3) All monkies are not the same species.

4) There is plenty of evidence for evolution...in fact, deVres observed speciation via evolution while he was experimenting with the Evening Primrose about a hundred years ago. Besides this and many other instances of observed speciation, you always have museums...and they're free!

5) Your quote of Darwin was taken completely out of context. In the following paragraph, Darwin goes on to argue that the eye could indeed have evolved in successive stages.

6) We see in nature all the time caterpillars become butterflies, tadpoles become frogs, single cells become small seahorse like creatures which in turn become fully developed human beings. These transformations occur in what is, on the cosmic scale, the blink of an eye. So I'm not quite sure why it's that hard to believe that over millions and millions of years, monkeys evolved from primitive monkies, which shared a primate ancestor with primitive homonids.

as you might know there are alot of people on the planet
almost every person has a diffrent set of dna to work with
when one gets pregnant 2 strands of dna merge to form a new stand of dna
dna controls what nature gives you "blue eyes" etc
every now and then dna gets damaged and mutations occur
these factor's allow a specie to change over time
but even though a specie change's over time it doesn't have to compleetly remake dna every time it changes
though some species have an advantage with there mutation, and are therefor able to get more offspring, this does not mean the original will disappear (though it can by food shortage/rivalry)

Well, this certainly bring me back to my physics and chemistry days.

 

[Father Heathen]

Would someone explain to me why evolutionists belive that humans evolved from monkeys. In my opinion if we did evolved from monkeys then why is there still monkeys on earth today? Shoulden't they all be evolved?

We evolved from an ancient apelike primate species, yes, but not from any of the currently existing primate species alive today, monkeys or otherwise. (although we do share a common ancestor with them).

Edit: I didn't realize the OP was over 4 and a half years old. :cover:

Yeah, it just demonstrates that there are no new ideas from the creationist side.

what are black people?

yellow, red.............. or even white

what's a mastif in relation to the wolf?

what are dinosaur bones?


the reason evolution is even observed is that someone named Darwin was closer to Jesus than the pope; he was honest with what he observed and shared the knowledge.

that's the reason!

Is this thread trying to set the zombie record? Talk about rising from the grave!

 

[McBell]

Nope.
All they do is dress up the old ones in new clothes.
At least, if you are lucky they redress them.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

The remaining unevolved monkeys are obviously defective. Don't worry, they'll soon be eradicated by us evolved monkeys.

 

[crystalonyx]

Utlimately, we evolved from bacteria.

 

[painted wolf]

It's more proper to say that we (Eukaryotes) share a common ancestor with bacteria (Prokaryotes).
We share a more recent common ancestor with the Archaea than the bacteria.
Being single celled does not make you a bacteria.

If Americans descended from Europeans why are there still Europeans? Imagine a line splitting into two and you will understand evolution a lot better.

[3.14]

because there dna is similar as is there build
they go from ape to man in one move to ridicule it only they don't realize they are actualy ridiculing themselfs since they belief that man came without a ape predecessor making there story even more unlikely

 

[painted wolf]

It's called the "ooh look a monkey" tactic.
It distracts you from the important things, like evidence.

Many Creationists are poorly educated.

 

[McBell]

Many Creationists are poorly educated.

And I dare say that most of them are intentionally ignorant of evolution.

 

[Willamena]

Would someone explain to me why people respond in a thread that's 5 years old?

 

[McBell]

Um...
we are hoping that the Thread Starter has been lurking all this time?

 

[Comicaze247]

Because it makes more sense than being made out of nothing?
