Many good answers here. The theory of evolution would not even be there today if it weren't for monkeys. Surely a very smart person such as Darwin, saw a monkey and thought there must be a connection and so on we go. The theory of evolution is the single most absurd thinking that mankind has ever done. If, indeed, we evolved from monkeys, then why are there still monkeys? And they can't find the so-called "missing link" and that is easy to explain, there isn't one to find. To think that people can dig up the earth, find some things, and then tell the world they have a new truth, is totally, and absolutely, absurd. And why would mankind evolve downward in some ways but upward in the thinking process? Monkeys have much more ability in many ways then mankind does. They can hang by their tails. They have hairy bodies to protect themselves. They can use their feet, just like they were hands. So why would we evolve away those abilities?

Nobody can know everything, so it isn't surprising you yourself--like everyone else--is ignorant about something.
Proclaiming things on subjects about which you are ignorant is something else.
Most people who believe in evolution do NOT in fact mock religions. Most of them BELONG to some religion.
Transitional forms abound in the fossil record. Individual organisims do not evolve. Rather evolution consists of genetic change over time. Thus ape-like creatures in the far past include among their descendents both modern-day humans and modern-day apes. Moving location does not stop evolution, but can othen spur it forward, because changing one's environment alters the conditions necessary for survival.
(Oh, and Melvin C.--you don't understand the laws of thermodynamics because that law only applies to CLOSED energy systems, which the earth is not because it receives constant energy from the sun.)

Excuse me? Religion has more evidence than evolution? I think not. What fanatical Christian have you been talking to? And, evolutionists do not mock the Bible. Scientists are proving alot of what the Bible says is true.
Does it really matter if G-d said, ''Puff!'' and there was the world and the people, etc., or if he started the world rolling to evolve to what we are, and what we become? It was all started by G-d.
And, evolution is not a religion. It is science. And, this science easily fits in with the Bible. So, maybe G-d's days were millions of years long. What does it matter?

It is not the fact that they have less evidence, but it wouldn't be fair to live in a world and not trying to look further and understand where all things originated from. By understand those things we are better at understanding nature. Believe me there was a big bang it did happen there is enough proof to show you that the universe is following a mathematical law. But someone did initiate that big bang and that is as far as science can go. So we need to stop arguing with evolutionist because even God himself will agree with them. The proof is in nature itself.

This answer is not for you, since it's apparent that you will, in all probability, remain wilfully ignorant of the vast amount of objective evidence and valid reasoning which supports evolution. This answer is for all those other visitors who are genuinely looking for the truth:
Humans are apes, descended from earlier apes. Our closest relatives are chimpanzees, and the most recent common ancestor of both humans and chimpanzees was approximately 6 million years ago.
The way to understand our origins is to remember that living organisms are in a state of constant change - It's not that evolution *can* occur, but that it *must* occur, simply because there is no mechanism in living organisms to ensure perfect, flawless reproduction for ever.
Suppose you could study a population of chimpanzees in the jungle, on a timescale of millions of years. Clearly, each individual only lives a few decades, so the population is constantly being succeeded by individuals which are different from their parents, because reproduction is imperfect - and remember, this is *inevitable*. It can't *not* happen. All the time this population is inter-breeding, the genes are getting mixed together, and only genes which work well with all other chimpanzee genes will tend to get passed down to successive generations (because individuals with genes that don't work well together will tend not to survive and reproduce).
However, suppose that circumstances arise which cause a group to become genetically isolated from other chimpanzees. This could be as a result of an accident of geography (e.g. an impassable river) or breeding preference or simply great distance. There will develop two distinct groups of chimpanzees which can never again exchange genes, because they have become different enough that mating will not produce viable offspring. This is what biologists define as speciation - i.e. the population has forever split into two distinct groups. Biologists have observed many instances of speciation, so there is no doubt that it occurs.
Assuming that both groups continue to survive, it is again *inevitable* that they will diverge genetically - There is no possible way that both groups, isolated and independent from each other, can change in exactly the same ways, and the longer they continue to breed, the more different they will become. Over millions of years, given that the rate of genetic change via mutation tends to remain fairly constant, the two groups will become as distinct as today's chimpanzees and humans are from each other, and from their most recent common ancestor.
All this is based on what we *know* is true - it's not supposition or guesswork, and remember it's not just possible, it absolutely *has* to happen, because there is no mechanism in biology to make reproduction a 100% perfect, flawless process.
NB: The reason we're classed as apes is that there is no valid way to group all the other apes together that doesn't also apply to humans. In other words, whatever criteria you use to define what is an ape, in order to include chimpanzees, gorillas, orangs and gibbons, humans will also fit those criteria. Indeed, chimpanzees are more closely related to humans than to gorillas, and gorillas are more closely related to humans and chimpanzees than they are to orangs, so any classification that separated humans out from those other apes would not make any sense.

whoa ! I believe evolution and we have millions of bones. there are not too many spaces. but remember that when there was an extinction the cross breading (Evolved species sprang up) It is called a bottleneck.
I do not call evolution religion, IT is fact.
Go back and read Darwin your all wet.

We DO have those bones, genius.
And since 99% of the species that have existed on earth are now extinct, the better question would be: why DID these two offshoots (humans and apes) from a common ancestor survive when so many others didn't?

Believing in the theory of evolution is not a religion. I'm a Pagan/Buddhist, and I believe in evolution. There's proof in evolution, we weren't apes, we were hominids, hence the reason apes are still around.

Well it looks like the moron fairy left you a double helping today huh?
The FACT is sparky, there are THOUSANDS of "inbetween species" we call them transitionals. Yes, thousands of them.
But when we present them to pin-headed morons like yourself you plug your ears, close your eyes and shout "Is not! Is not!".
Sorry Zippy, science marches on and the overwhelming mountain of evidence points to the FACT that evolution has and continues to happen.
You're evidence to support creationism on the other hand is... what exactly? An outdated book of bronze-age jewish mythology?
Pretty pathetic...

I love your points.
Below is what I have answer just minute ago.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If you sincerely know what is evolution, you will know that the missing link is far more than any given doubt in creation.
If evolution is scientific, any school children will know that science can be proven by experiment. But we can not have half ape, half man sample, nor any new form of man that can fly (so we don't even need budget airline).
If you really study science, you will know that evolution go against the theory of Newton 2nd law of dynamic. (Those who believe in science, go check it out yourselves).
If it is true, Dawin will not have deny it before he died. He confessed that this is but a theory that he dreamed out. There is no basis.
I wonder since when, can a baseless theory can enter the science book of a stupid nation called " . . . ica " . Ok nevermind. Don't mentioned about that nation.
So, I studied science. I am a trained mechanic. However, I can never accept that stupid theory as science. They are purely nonsense. Too many question I have asked and find no answer.
It is thus much easier to accept that God created the world, and he loves us.
