It depends whether you are looking at this from a religious or scientific point of view. Scientifically, there is no way to prove that there actually is a god. I mean, we can prove that people like Jesus, Mohammud, etc. exist but we cannot prove that they were the Christ, Messiah, etc. So, scientifically, their is a theory that humans have indeed evolved from apes. Personally, I have no idea. =)

Dude, someone asks this exact same question every week, la. I don't know if you do this to make Christians look stupid, or to get a rise out of the atheists. But the question always does both. The first girls' answer is basically the correct answer. We did not evolve from apes, they are our cousins. We have a common ancestor. Unless someone is from W. Virginia, the chances of that person descending from their own cousin is pretty low. Hundreds of years ago, the Church labelled scientists who could demonstrate that the earth was not the center of the universe as heritics, because they believed the science was contradictory to the bible. Eventually the Church had to give in to the irresputible facts. But apparently, the Church did not learn its lessons. Now it is evolution. Why does the Church continue to do this? While evolution may contradict a few paragraphs of the old testament, it is not incompatible with the basic teachings and spirituality of Christianity (or Judaism or Islam). So why do so many people take this "if we evolved from Monkeys or Apes, why are they still here?" question, which is factually incorrect as the basis for challenging a solid scientific theory? It would be like asking "If Newtonian physics is correct, why don't all the apples fall out of the trees?" It is a nonsense question which only serves to underscore the fact that MOST people who challenge the theory do so out of ignorance. This is not to say that there aren't some better questions that people could be asking to challenge the theory... but most people don't understand the theory well enough to ask those questions. Peace

Why can't both be true? If the Bible says that God created the world in seven days but also that to God "a moment is as a million years" then couldn't God have had a hand in evolution? I can't believe that life is just some weird cosmic accident!

We came from God, not only does the Bible say that but there is also too much scientific evidence which shows it would be nearly impossible for us to have come from apes.

I know this isn't serious.
It is stated very clearly in the Bible. God Himself has passed on the information that we are created in His image.
It takes 10 times the amount of blind faith to believe in evolution as it does to look at the scientific facts concerning special separation according to their kinds and DNA strands.

We have the same ancestors as apes. We have evolved over millions of years from cave men.

I personally think our origin can be traced through evolution, but I don't understand why people get so hung up on it.
Have a pleasant day.
