When creationists ask questions about evolution do they read the answers or just continue their attack?

Question

It is asked here daily in some form, if man evolved from monkeys why are there still monkeys.

It has been explained by evolutionists every time, that some part of the world there was a group of monkeys that evolved through time into human beings, while in another part of the world that same species didn't evolve. There were lots of members of that species.

Its like in England some English people went to America. Now for 400 years we have been having babies here in America.

Is it possible something similar happened 5 million years ago. Where one group of monkeys went to a different place then the other monkeys, and then the one group changed into humans, while that other group did not?

Do you read this answer that evolutionists give you? Because I keep seeing the question everyday if man evolved from monkeys why are there still monkeys and it seems the creationist doesn't read the answer.

Answer 1

The answer fits into your scheme and curiously mirrors their “question.” While a group (let’s call them pro-science) has evolved past accepting mythological explanations, some other groups of the original (pre-scientific) species have not evolved. I hope my answer doesn’t drive them bananas.

Answer 2

Let's see...

For an evolutionist (like yourself), you believe that man evolved from monkeys...

Where did the monkeys come from?

Where did the earth come from?

Where did the solar system come from?

Where did the galaxy come from?

Where did the universe come from?

And if you believe in the big bang theory, Where did the mass necessary for the big bang come from?

If man evolved from monkeys, why did we stop? Why did the monkeys that are elsewhere in the world stop?

Why didn't we evolve to some other form when people went to America?

Scientists have still yet to create life from nothing. Darwins "theory" is just that a "theory". Just as the "big bang theory" is a "theory". Creationists believe in the Divine, just as you believe in your science. The only difference is that Creationists also believe in science. Just not all of sciences "theories"

Albert Einstein's theory of relativity still is just a "theory". Just as some Creationists theories of when the world will end are just "theories".

The answers that evolutionists give are just "theories of a theory" or are that persons "belief". (WOW, amazing thought, evolutionists have beliefs)

Darwin must have been amazed to find out that his "theory" is wrong.

Answer 3

I think you have got it in one, they just continue their attack. For them the only use science has to them is where it can be used to prove such and such an event "must" have taken place because the evidence is there in front of you.

What they ignore is the evidence that also points towards another answer, and that answer is usually at complete odds to the one they wish you to believe.

Take for example the Flood Story. It exists in many cultures, is far older in many societies than the Jewish tradition from where the Christians and Muslems get there version. All through the ages, examples of huge rocks and bolders being where they should not have been have been used as an example of the Flood pushing these rocks to where they are.

The fact that these floods are dated to eons before the date of the Biblical Flood is ignored by the creationalists. Flood stories are perhaps one example of a common event which "mankind" learned to fear simply because it was something that has happened on a regular basis for millenia, (due to Ice Ages or other natural catastrophic events) and the story has been passed down through the ages for generations to the point where it seems it is just a story because another similiar event has not happened for a while.

Look also at the notion that comets and asteriods were the "Harbingers of Doom". Well a big one hasn't hit a populated area of the earth for quite some time, (that we know of), but I'm pretty sure if one did it would be pretty catastrophic for those in the vicinity of such an event and if this was to happen in a day and age where the religious set held the majority, I feel pretty sure they would anounce it as another example of God's wrath being inflicted on some poor unreligious community.

Spell checker is down, please excuse any errors.

Answer 4

That's true. Humans are clearly weaker than most animals out there. Yet we dominate the world because we have brains.

If some protein can allow our brains to grow and allow us to dominate the world like we do, what about all the other animals. I mean wouldn't they have come close or even show some kind of sign they are in completion.

What about all those other apes out there. Wasn't there a recorded time that they where stupider. How come they didn't evolve also. We could have a human race and some other kind of race dominating the world.

I find it hard to believe that that some apes will just grow one day and dominate the world. You would think a whole bunch of lions would have eaten us up before it came to that.

And if it just so happens to be true, who's next to dominate the world, squirrels?

Answer 5

When I answer questions about how much someone loves jesus, I read all the answers, but they mean nothing to me, so if I was the asking questions about jesus kind, I would ask anyway. Their logic means nothing to me. I'm sure it's the same for creationists. In fact, I bet they read the answers and sigh to themselves,
"those poor evolutionists, they will never understand-why do they not understand simple logic? People are not monkeys!"
It strikes me as close to hilarious, really.

Answer 6

People who believe in Evolution and people who believe in Creation are looking at two sides of the same coin. There fore, both are right to believe in their version of what is the truth.

In evolution theory, we try to understand (step by step) how forces made us. Not surprising, we are still trying to fully understand it. In believing in creation, we accept a simple explanation for a very complex event; Namely,"god created us from himself".

In Evolution, we give credit to forces (like the strong force or the weak force) to account for what happens at the atomic level, while man is being made. Still these forces are as big a mystery as god is. Also, each term could be substituted for each other without changing the meaning: after all god is also a force (the force).

ONE thing that bothers some people, in accepting the notion of god, is that they do not believe forces can behave "man like". But after all, is not a human made of forces that acquired thought and reason. Hum...

In either case, humans may never fully understand just how things really work, we may always have a need to rely on a little faith.

Is it any wonder, Einstein believed in forces as well as in god.

Answer 7

And you'll keep reading those questions. Creationists simply do not want to understand.
They are mired in a set of outdated morals passed down by bronze age sheperds and they think it means something.
Here's a hint for you folks; it doesn't mean jack. Mythology deals with the realm of imagination and fantasy. Science deals with the real world.
Understand the difference now?
You're magic sky-pixie lives in the world of fantasy and NO place else.

Answer 8

There are two groups. Those who haven't seen those questions answered as they are new, and those who like stirring up poo poo to smell the stink.

In all honesty, if I did evolve from a monkey, I wish I could have kept a longer tail...

This I believe; http://homelessheart.com/testimony.htm

Answer 9

I always read the answers. What amuses me most is seeing people try to defend something for which there is no proof while attacking creationism for which there is more proof than evolution. Plus, if I'm going to know how to oppose evolution I need to know what people who believe in evolution think.

Answer 10

They can't accept the answers given because that will break down their theory which they have built their lives around and because of pride the evidences will most times never change their minds. Often times they have to have a personal experience with God to change, let us continue to pray and share with them though.

Answer 11

If people truly are looking at science and the bible, they would relise they don't have to choose. Science actually proves the bible. micro evolution is a fact of life, macro is a theory. and by the way, christians don't put their faith in a bunch of traditions or morals, cause those won't always be around. we set our sights on things above.
