no i cannot

Answer 2

One word: MECHANISM

Science is about mechanisms, not history. When faced with an historical event, the scientist's job is not to prove that a particular mechanism made it happen; his job is only to prove that a potential explanatory mechanism works, and produces predictions which are consistent with observation.

Let us take the example of ancient asteroid impacts. Can a scientist prove that a huge crater was caused by an asteroid impact? No. Can he "test" for it happening after the fact? Of course not. Can he go back in time and watch it happen? Don't be absurd. So what can he do? Answer: he can test the mechanism of high-velocity impacts and verify that it is capable of producing the crater.

"But how does this prove an asteroid made the crater," you ask? It does not. But it shows that it is a viable scientific theory, because we have a tested mechanism. If you want to propose an alternate theory, you'll have to provide your own tested mechanism and show that it achieves equal or better accuracy with as many or fewer terms.

Now, let us return to evolution theory: how can a scientist prove that ancient primates evolved into man? Answer: he can't, but he can show that he has a tested mechanism which can explain it. Until creationists provide a tested mechanism of their own, they have nothing even remotely scientific to say against evolution.

Remember: science does not test history; it tests mechanisms.

Also note that this is why the entire "microevolution has been tested but macroevolution has not" creationist argument is nothing more than deceptive rhetoric, since both macroevolution and microevolution are based on the same mechanism.

PS. What this means is that there is nothing that can be 100% verifible, but the EVIDENCE points to it.

Or another way, 99% of all evidence points to evolution. 1 % is due to not being able to examine all the evidence because we didn't have the tools at the time. 0% of all evidence comes from your sky pixie

Answer 3

Descending from apes could be from studies found in the fossills of our dead ancestors. Their shape and sizes however does not give the correct answer if they really are apes. Resemblance could be well compared in the absence of agriculture on open fields for food. the early man must have started his life with the animals who lived and survive in the jungle. Having the body similar to ape enables him to climb trees and gather foods and sleep on branches.
Having probably no more fruits to eat from the trees, then he started going out to the open fields, descending from the mountains. Looking for foods to pick up, then he just realized that there are dangerous animals also that taught him how to stand erect and above the ground to watch for coming dangers.
He may be hairy then because he doesn't know yet how to mend clothes and biologically surviving the elements enables all living things to develop itself into colors, shapes, forms and activities that will protect him.
Man,animals, insects and even trees have evolve into different shapes and forms and to the point that we think they are extinct already but we are just them that change as time changes.

Answer 4

No, but I am not an anthropologist or scientist of any kind. I can't tell you much of anything about the last 3 million years that humans of some kind have been on this planet. But I can see from your question you're not interested in doing any of that research either. If your so interested go see what the evolutionists are saying. Read Darwin. Make an effort. Get of that damn pedestal you seem to have put your self on. "You can't prove your side so my side must be right." Great argument.

Answer 5

Nothing in the universe can be proven beyond doubt, so the answer is no.

Now I give you a block of ice and a bottle of water, are they the same? How do you know that they are the same? How would you go about proving that they are the same? The certainly don't resemble each other.

Answer 6

You really are a moron aren't you?
Let me try and explain it once again for you since you don't seem to be able to get reality to stick in that empty skull of yours.
Humans and Apes and Chimps are Primates. We share a common ancestor.
Here is a link that explains it in plain language, it's probably over your head (and I highly doubt you'll ever read it but hopefully someone else will since you lack the intellectual courage to look beyond your own childish mythology) but hopefully someone can explain it to you. Perhaps they'll put on a puppet show for you. Maybe that would keep your attention?

Answer 7

Can you prove even 1 (yes, one) per cent that there is a god?

That's why we don't believe in him.

And of course I descended from an ape, because I am one. So are my parents.

(And actually, the evidence for our descent from the higher primates, without any doubts, is well over 99.9%. It takes a lot of effort to ignore that kind of argument, so well done!)

Answer 8

That is probably the most famous misquote of all time- Darwin said we evolved from an 'ape-like creature', not from an ape. Creationists created the misquote to make fun of the evolutionists (rather like Homer Simpson makes fun of intelligent people).

Answer 9

I can't prove to you 100 percent without any doubt that the even sun rose this morning. That's an arbitrarily unreasonable standard.

Answer 10

The genetic differences vary by about 2%. Can you prove within 98% accuracey that we came from somewhere else?
Actually,. humans are not believed to be direct descendants, but cousins of apes.
Or is a 2,000 year old book all that you have?

Answer 11

Physically, mentally and genetically a human is more similar to a chimp than any other creature on the planet. So if you use logic you come to the conclusion that humans and chimps evolved from the same creature.
