Do u think Apes r our ancestors?

Answer 1

Darwin's evolutionary theory has way too many holes and even violates many laws of phyics (especially thermodynamics). Scientists even have tried creating additional laws (which are not accepted nor proven) to reconile the problems with evolution and thermodynamics.

"In the late 19th century, thermodynamicist Ludwig Boltzmann argued that the fundamental object of contention in the life-struggle in the evolution of the organic world is 'available energy'. Since then, over the years, various thermodynamic researchers have come forward to ascribed to or to postulate potential fourth laws of thermodynamics; in some cases, there are even fifth or sixth laws of thermodynamics supposed. The majority of these tentative fourth law statements are attempts to reconcile the thermodynamics with evolution, predominantly. Most fourth law statements, however, are speculative and far from agreed upon.

The most common proposed Fourth Law is the Onsager reciprocal relations. Another example is the maximum power principle as put forward initially by biologist Alfred Lotka in his 1922 article Contributions to the Energetics of Evolution.[3] Most variations of hypothetical fourth laws (or principles) have to do with the environmental sciences, biological evolution, or galactic phenomenon."

I have heard another interesting theory based around the fact that the human skull continues to grow our entire lives. If you were to compare the skull of an 80 year old man and what his skull looked like at age 20, they would have some drastic differences. For one it would be thicker and have a bigger frontal bone, giving a slight ape like look. What would it look like if that 80 year old man lived to say 800 years? In the Old testament, several people lived well above 200 years old. What if those bones we find aren't a different species, but are just those of our ancestors who lived extremely long lives?

Answer 2

NO, i don't beleive it , inspite of finding the missing link of the fossil, i still dont beleive it, there is still a wide gap between apes and man, i beleive the monkeys are created from a race so close to man but a completely different race, because if there was an addaptation as darwin said, why & when did it stop, why it didnt continue..any way here is what i found about missing link..

In tracing the alleged evolution of humans from primate ancestors, palaeoanthropologists have been frustrated by the existence of two extensive gaps In the fossil record. The first gap, known as the hominoid gap, goes from 32 to 22 million years ago on the evolutionary time-scale. This period is important because it is during this period that evolutionists believe that the ancestors of apes and humans were splitting off from the tine leading to the monkeys. Yet, with one possible exception, [1] this time-frame is devoid of hominoid fossil evidence to document this alleged divergence.

The second gap, known as the hominid gap, extends from 14 to 4.5 million years ago. This second period is equally critical for evolutionary theory because it is the time when the ancestors of the australopithecine and human group were allegedly diverging from the ancestors of the African apes, especially the chimpanzees. This period is also devoid of any relevant fossil material, except for a few fossil scraps too fragmentary for diagnosis. Thus, the recent news that the hominid 'missing link' has been discovered was greeted with great exuberance by the evolutionist community.



THE 'MISSING LINK'
What is claimed to be one of the most sensational fossil discoveries involving human origins was made by Tim D. White (University of California, Berkeley), Gem Suwa (University of Tokyo), and Berhane Asfaw (Ethiopian Ministry of Culture), Known first as Australopithecus ramidus [2] and later changed to Ardipithecus ramidus, [3] these fossils were found in sedimentary Pliocene deposits at Aramis, Middle Awash, northern Ethiopia between December 1992 and December 1993.

The fossil discovery is made up of associated and isolated adult teeth, a child's mandible fragment, two partial cranial bases, and seven fragments from a left arm. These 17 fragments were found in association with other primate and vertebrate fossils, Radioisotopic dating, geochemical analysis, and biochronological considerations are said to suggest a date of 4.4 million years ago. [4] (In late December 1994 a mandible and partial postcranial skeleton were found of what is thought to be the same type of individual. Details of this discovery have yet to be published. [5])


Evolutionists have been unstinting in their praise of the discovery of A. ramidus. However, there is reason, to challenge their claims and to suggest that the fossils actually represent a form of pygmy chimpanzee. It is significant that, according to evolutionists, no fossils of chimpanzee have ever been found. Some have suggested that fossil chimpanzees and other primates actually have been found but they were interpreted as human ancestors rather than as fossil primates.

A contrast is seen between the report of A. ramidus in Nature and the reports of this discovery In the popular media. One senses a note of caution in the heading of the Nature article: 'The antiquity and primitive morphology of A. ramidus suggests that it represents a long-sought potential root species for the Hominidae' [6] The popular press has not reflected that caution. Colin Groves (Australian National University) said in The Canberra Times: '. . . the missing link is no longer missing'. [7] Time magazine writes: 'Bones from the Ethiopian desert prove that human ancestors walked the earth 4.4 million years ago' [8] Newsweek states: 'Ramidus confirms once and for all that the common ancestor lived just a little more than 4.4 million years ago.' [9]

Answer 3

I strongly believed apes were not our ancestors because it is clearly stated in the bible that our old, old ancestors were Adam and Eve! The fossils that scientist discovered which they believed our ancestors it is probably from instinct creatures that may have desame body structures and way of living like ours like ours!

Answer 4

The ape is my progenitor. I am the ape. I have always been the ape. Perhaps not apes as you see them now, but we are our own breed of ape. Ape is just another name for hominid, and I believe the hominid to be my progenitor, because I am no other species. We are all presently apes.

Answer 5

Wow Paul, I sure would like to know where you are from. Amen, with the hominid guy! Apes and us (homosapiens) have a COMMON ancestor. So to answer your question bluntly.....NO!

Answer 6

If we came from monkeys then why are there still monkeys around? So, I'm going to have to say no I don't believe that monkeys are our ancestors.

Answer 7

Sure, but not the apes the exist today.

Answer 8

I think you are annoying Apes everywhere with that accusation...

Answer 9

I dont believe in Darwinism ,from Quran's point of view i contradict this theory!

Answer 10

Not mine - maybe yours - most definitely Michael Jacksons :)
