What Evolution says

It is amazing to me that evolutionists don't even understand their own "theory" at all!
Okay, evolution doesn't say "specifically" that an amoebe made a tree... but it says that all life on earth has a common ancestor which was a single-cell organism... or maybe several single-cell organisms. And those single-cells mutated into multi-cells and they mutated into plant life and animal life and then Steve.
Lots of steps in between, but that's what the theory of evolution teaches. It amazes me that so many people believe in something they don't understand.

There is plant life. There is animal life. Nobody ever said any trees or other plants came from any amoebas.
Amoebas are one-celled animals that exist today. If they're in the water you drink you'll get "amoebiasis", which means you'll have amoebas in your intestines and be sick.
Nobody says people came from amoebas.

How can a animal come from a amoeba and ask questions like this.....
Exert from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution:
Evolution is the change in the heritable traits of a population over successive generations, as determined by shifts in the allele frequencies of genes. Through the course of time, this process results in the origin of new species from existing ones (speciation). It is the source of the vast diversity of extant and extinct life in the world; all contemporary organisms are related to each other through common descent, the products of cumulative evolutionary changes over billions of years.
The basic mechanisms that produce evolutionary change are natural selection (which includes ecological, sexual, and kin selection) and genetic drift; these two mechanisms act on the genetic variation created by mutation, genetic recombination and gene flow. Natural selection is the process by which individual organisms with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. If those traits are heritable, they pass them to their offspring, with the result that beneficial heritable traits become more common in the next generation. Given enough time, this passive process can result in varied adaptations to changing environmental conditions.

Good question!
That isn't the only thing that is wrong with Evolution.
To those of you who belive in evolution, how can a man come from an ape?
Did I miss something? Have you ever seen an ape shaving in the zoo?

Evolution is about biodiversity and adaptations of species. For detailed information drop by http://talkorigins.org/

Your understanding of evolution is totally off.

Evolution doesn't say that. You are misinformed. Get thee to the library.

Where are you getting this info? I think you need a 3rd grade science book from an accredited school!

Your question should be directed to God. No man has that knowledge.

How can an intelligent being ask such a stupid question?
