My highschool teacher taught us that we all came from Africa. So did we evolve from africans?

The motto of the Royal Society, “Nullius in Mount of money”, affirms the will to establish the truth in the domain of only disciplines them scientific being based on the experience, and never on the authority of an individual of name Tarcísio Brito. Being the age of the Universe something around 14 billion years, and being the age of this planet Land something around 4 billion and 600 million years and being that before same to be gifts here, this planet was inhabited by giant reptiles during at least 160 million years, concludes that our species is to the little time in this planet and phase of recent civilization, however we know much more on the much more old dinossauros of what on we ourselves.

Could gene changes have any phenotypal (sic?) affect, at least theoretically, on something such as a person's eyecolor? How about on their offspring's?

I am 13 now. When I was about 65to 7, I would always try to be "Symmertic". If I scratched the right side of my head with my right arm, I would have the unresitable urge todo the same with my left hand. If I scratch my leg with my right are, I felt I HAD to do it with my left. This woud happen all the time. From 9-10, I would blink my eyes 3x times more than needed. I couldn't help it. When I was 11, I always had the urge to say the stupid same phrase under my breath after every sentence I said out loud. If I couldn't say it, I had to hum it. All these things went away. I saw something about this on Oprah.

Can anyone show me some valid proof that the theory of evolution is false. I can't think of anything that would disprove it except people just not wanting to believe it because of what is written in some old books that they read too much. I would like unbiased opinions even though my question is worded to sound a little bit biased.

The Raelian philosophy (www.rael.org) says there is no God, nor evolution, but that we were created in the image of our creators, the Elohim, who created all life on earth. And that we will also create life in the future. Is it possible? Are we created by another humanity who has mastered DNA engineering?

OK, the philosophy also says that the Elohim were also created by another humanity and that this is a cycle of life. Is this not coming to fruition as we start to clone humans in our image?

A few years back the Raelians claimed to have cloned babies. Do you think with our level of science that this is possible? Did they really do it?

The test of any theory is whether or not it provides answers to basic questions. Some well-meaning but misguided people think evolution is a reasonable theory to explain man’s questions about the universe. Evolution is not a good theory—it is just a pagan religion masquerading as science.

1. Where did the space for the universe come from?

2. Where did matter come from?

3. Where did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia, etc.)?

4. How did matter get so perfectly organized?

5. Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing?

6. When, where, why, and how did life come from dead matter?

7. When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?

8. With what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce?

9. Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of survival? (Does the individual have a drive to survive, or the species? How do you explain this?)

10. How can mutations (recombining of the genetic code) create any new, improved varieties? (Recombining English letters will never produce Chinese books.)

11. Is it possible that similarities in design between different animals prove a common Creator instead of a common ancestor?

12. Natural selection only works with the genetic information available and tends only to keep a species stable. How would you explain the increasing complexity in the genetic code that must have occurred if evolution were true?

13. When, where, why, and how did: a) Single-celled plants become multicelled? (Where are the two- and threecelled intermediates?) b) Single-celled animals evolve? c) Fish change to amphibians? d) Amphibians change to reptiles? e) Reptiles change to birds? (The lungs, bones, eyes, reproductive organs, heart, method of locomotion, body covering, etc., are all very different!) How did the intermediate forms live?

14. When, where, why, how, and from what did: a) Whales evolve? b) Sea horses evolve? c) Bats evolve? d) Eyes evolve? e) Ears evolve? f) Hair, skin, feathers, scales, nails, claws, etc., evolve?

15. Which evolved first (how, and how long, did it work without the others)? a) The digestive system, the food to be digested, the appetite, the ability to find and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the body’s resistance to its own digestive juice (stomach, intestines, etc.)? b) The drive to reproduce or the ability to reproduce? c) The lungs, the mucus lining to protect them, the throat, or the perfect mixture of gases to be breathed into the lungs? d) DNA or RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts? e) The termite or the flagella in its intestines that actually digest the cellulose? f) The plants or the insects that live on and pollinate the plants? g) The bones, ligaments, tendons, blood supply, or muscles to move the bones? h) The nervous system, repair system, or hormone system? i) The immune system or the need for it?

I'm not a science student - I actually don't know very much about science. Although science itself fascinates me more than other topics. So this isn't a serious hypothesis - just one I came up with using facts I learned in Biology to help explain disease, tumors, etc... and thought I'd run it by intelligent science minds to see if you guys thought "maybe" it was possible.

I learned in my college biology class several years ago (I don't remember the specifics) that the food we digest is used to create various cells in our body (hence the saying "you are what you eat"). If this is the case then is it possible that bad food we eat (such as food that doesn't have the essential vitamins we need, un-sanitized food, junk food, etc...) could cause "weak" cells in our DNA that can get passed on from generation to generation? Is it possible that these weak cells could cause problems with our DNA that could develop, over generations, into tumors, viruses, disorders, etc...? Just curious.
