Million Dollar Question?

Question

Who came to exist first on this planet, Adam & Eve or Primitive Apes, (What type of proof do you have, I want convincing evidence). Please no stupid remarks.

Answer 1

That depends on what religion you are. If you are christian, you believe apes were first because God created them before Adam & Eve. If you are agnostic/believe in science, you believe primitive apes were first, which evolved from some sort of amoeba. I am christian, and believe that apes were created by God. No one has proof of this, but this is just a test of faith. Either way: the apes were first.

And a question to Keith: the creation of the universe by Titans in Greek mythology is just as good of an explaination (if not better) than the big bang theory. How do you think the big bang started? There had to be something before it. It's just blatent ignorance.

Answer 2

Primitive apes, of course! There's ample proof of their existence, but there's no proof of Adam and Eve's existence! If Adam and Eve were the first humans on this planet, then what happens to the evidence that shows man's evolution???

Answer 3

Since Adam and Eve are mythological, apes were first.

It's a little like asking whether the Big Bang came before the creation of the Universe by the Titans in Greek mythology.

Answer 4

See, Adam and Eve are a myth. Apes did exist, and we are an evolved form of those apes.
There is no proof as to the existence of Adam and Eve.

Answer 5

In the Bible, the first man and woman, progenitors of the human race. Adam (Heb. ādām, “man”) was made of dust from the soil; Eve (Heb. hawwa, “the living one”?) was created from Adam's rib and given to him by God to be his wife. The story appears in two versions: Gen. 1:26–27 and Gen. 2:7–8, 18–24.

Darwin’s theory - the reaction to the Origin was immediate. Some biologists argued that Darwin could not prove his hypothesis. Others criticized Darwin’s concept of variation, arguing that he could explain neither the origin of variations nor how they were passed to succeeding generations. This particular scientific objection was not answered until the birth of modern genetics in the early 20th century (see HEREDITY,; MENDEL’S LAWS,). In fact, many scientists continued to express doubts for the following 50 to 80 years. The most publicized attacks on Darwin’s ideas, however, came not from scientists but from religious opponents. The thought that living things had evolved by natural processes denied the special creation of humankind and seemed to place humanity on a plane with the animals; both of these ideas were serious contradictions to orthodox theological opinion.

Answer 8

The apes

24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

Science and God agree it was the apes.
