Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), "Science, Philosophy and Religion: a Symposium", 1941
At any rate, I am convinced that He [God] does not play dice.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), In a letter to Max Born, 1926
Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
Ethical axioms are found and tested not very differently from the axioms of science. Truth is what stands the test of experience.
Albert Einstein
My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.

Answer 2

If you paid any attention when you were learning about evolution, people didn't come from monkeys... they actually came from a completely different species than monkeys. A species of neanderthal-type beings... However, I didn't pay that much attention in Biology to remember what the species that they think humans came from is called. I do know that no one who believes in evolution believes that people came from monkeys.

I also think it is ridiculous that you would create such a biased questions assuming that all Christians believe all the man-made mumbo-jumbo put into the bible.... I'm not saying the whole bible is a lie, but I am saying that the bible was re-written numerous times to go suit the Church's needs. God did say that one of his days could be like millions of years to us... therefore, God created evolution. The early Christians wrote the bible and modified it to suit their religious needs by leaving out things like dinosaurs and the entire evolutionary process.

Answer 3

People don't become monkeys because we did not evolve from monkeys we shared a common ancestor. We are definitely changing today. People are living longer, growing larger, and gaining more knowledge. Why is it so hard to believe in an awesome God who can orchestrate evolution to make a perfect world. Why do you confine God and reactionarily (is that even a word) deny what science seems to suggest is how he created?
I would encourage you to keep in mind that God is all-powerful and that evolution can glorify God.

Answer 4

Why do some Christians get so bent out of shape about the proven fact of evolution? God planned it that way, but it DID happen.

Monkeys did not become people!!! Humans and the present day monkeys both originated in the same or very similar animals, (Chimps have 99.4% of the same genes that people have.) People evolved and adapted to the habitat they found themselves in. Why is that so hard to believe????

Answer 5

Some monkey people around, but you can't easily see them because they look like people, my question, if monkeys became people, then what are the existing monkeys, are they haven't transformed as people..

Answer 6

You can say whatever makes you happy. No one who accepts evolution actually says we came from monkeys. We came from a common ape ancestor, not the fuzzy things in the zoo. People cannot reverse evolution, as it is generally permanent.

Answer 7

Well, first, we did not evolve from monkeys. We had a common ancestor with apes. And I don't think evolution moves backwards.

And no one says "ape-type monkeys" except you.

Answer 8

It wasn't like monkeys one day just woke up as people (stuff like that only happens in bible stories) It took slow changes over millions of years with many in-bet weens before we evolved, and if one day our environment decides it is more advantageous for us to be more "monkey like" then maybe we will.

P.S. this is why there is no fossils of humans or monkeys mixed in with dinosaurs, because things change over time and new things arise.

Answer 9

simply because we never actually evolved from monkeys.

Answer 10

I totally agree! Why aren't we still changing?
