Is this the evidence for evolution?

Question

Piltdown Man - A deliberate hoax. Ended up being a ape jaw attached to a human skull that was stained to look old.

Java Man - The discover later rejected it stating that a human & ape were just found in proximity.

Pekeing Man - Tools & human bones were found near the apes whose brains they were eating (monkey brains are still eaten in China).

Nebraska Man - An entire person (and family) was envisioned from a single tooth... a tooth that later proved to have come from a pig.

Lucy - Reclassified as an extinct ape.

Ramapithecus - A jaw & teeth were eventually dismissed as early human in origin (an Orangutan).

Answer 1

What are you talking about... GOD created the world and everything in it.

Answer 2

Evolution has no actual evidence, it is true that we share a lot in common with the ape DNA but we also have to consider that every living thing is made up of the combination of amino acids and the DNA links, and with so many creatures out there there is bound to be a few that are close to our code. Why cant ppl just accept that GOD created us and that he made everything? Besides theres no way that the world has been around for that long as scientists say. In the time of Noah's ark, the waters shifted everything and that is how we got the earth layers, it wasnt by all those years of sedimentation. If u want to see it at work, take a bucket fill it with water and many different types of sand and dirt and you will see the different layers form. So as we can see those layers dont mean its been around that long. And for the ppl that say the world was not flooded and terrible shaked, i have this to ask. Why is that there are fish fossils on top of mountains? And why is it that the same type of fossils are continets away? With that being said, how can a being such as us that have reason, organized society, a writen and spoken language have come about? Yes it is true some animals are smart and seem have some of our traits, but they go by instinct not reason. And as for you that talk about carbon dating, sure, it might work. But was anybody around for that long to say that all those 5730 years of its half life are actually its half life? And if it actually was, did anybody actually measure the amount of carbon-14 on the animals that are tested to see "how old they are"? As we can see evolution doesnt really have a backbone to lean on, as for creation there is plenty of evidence for it.

Responder smiling4ever22 has put forth an enormous amount of blather, most of it erroneous, and all of it silly. The facts are these: Evolution is established science, meaning that workers in the field can and do use it to make predictions because it works. Creationism, being irrefutable, can predict nothing: it is useless.
Neither evolution nor any other scientific theory can ever be proven to be correct; any theory will continue to be used until it is demonstrated that it is wrong. An interesting example of this is Newtonian mechanics, which works fine if you are building an engine or a bridge, but utterly fails at velocities near the speed of light, when Einstein's formulas must be used.

."—RomansSome Scientists Answer
PHYSICS professor Ulrich J. Becker, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, stated when commenting on the existence of God: "How can I exist without a creator? I am not aware of any compelling answer ever given."
Did this contradict his scientific views? The professor's thought-provoking answer was, "If you discovered how one wheel in the 'clock' turns—you may speculate how the rest move, but you are not entitled to call this scientific and better leave alone the question of who wound up the spring."
Contrary to the opinion of some, many respected men of science do not rule out the idea of there being a God—a Great Mastermind behind the creation of the universe and man.
Consider two more examples on this point. When mathematics professor John E. Fornaess, of Princeton University, was asked for his thoughts on the existence of God, he replied: "I believe that there is a God and that God brings structure to the universe on all levels from elementary particles to living beings to superclusters of galaxies."
Physics professor Henry Margenau, of Yale University, said that he was convinced that the laws of nature were created by God, adding: "God created the universe out of nothing in an act which also brought time into existence." He then noted that in the book The Mystery of Life's Origin, three scientists explain that a Creator is a plausible explanation for life's origin. Supporting this view, astronomer Fred Hoyle has stated that believing the first cell originated by chance is like believing that a tornado ripping through a junkyard full of Boeing 747 airplane parts dismembered and in disarray could produce a 747.
To these answers can be added the words of the Bible writer Paul: "[God's] invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world's creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship.

Answer 5

You have done a good job of pointing out a few mistakes, premature conclusions and one hoax.... what about the 50,000 OTHER bona fide fossil remains that are sitting in museums and universities ALL OVER THE WORLD.... if you think you can refute evolution by citing a few instances where scientists were fooled or made mistakes, you are WRONG!! The record is clear, there is no debate among scientists.... Homo Sapiens evolved from Homo Erectus who evolved from Homo Habilis who (I think) evolved from Australopithecus... other early cousins of man included Neanderthals and Cro-magnon man but we are not in a direct line with them... they branched out on their own and died out. The completion of the human genome project has given even more clear evidence of evolution, not just in primates but other families too. If you need more convincing try this site.

Or you can be like Blizzy Pooh and stick your head in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist because it makes your little brain hurt to think about it. Your choice.

Answer 6

To answer your question directly, no THOSE are not evidences of evolution. However you cannot exclude the theory of evolution based on false evidence. In order to exclude evolution as a scientific theory, you need to give positive evidence that evolution between species did not occur. Now that is a difficult thing because it is not possible to give positive evidence that evolution between species did occur.

Now if you were to argue that evolution doesn't occur within species, I'd say that is a false theory. Farmers have been "evolving" species since the beginning of farming. How else do you think we have the cattle, horses, sheep, etc. that we have today?

Answer 7

Lucy was not reclassified as an extinct ape. That is a myth put forth by people who want to deny evolution.

Answer 8

It has been proven that Lucy was really the make up of apes that were in the area as well as real men. Many of the "evidences" for evolution are being proved daily.

Answer 9

I don't think there is a missing link.

It is different than we think. I believe they are realizing that now.

But I ain't no scientist, and I am not too concerned with the exact details of my creation. Evolution would definitely seem a more Godly way to create something though wouldn't it?

Answer 10

If similarity is the evidence proving that humans evolved from apes, then how about humans and rats who share 98% same genes with humans. So, who was our ancestor?

Answer 11

According to the evolution THEORY we all came from a single celled amoeba. Can't figure that one out and you want me to answer these questions too. Anolther one I can't figure out is the Big Bang THEORY and it was there. So being my stupid self I just believe in my sweet Jesus.
