who here believes in the theory of eveolution? that people came from apes?

Question

i don't believe in it

Answer 1

I believe it is the scientific explanation and does not mean that religious beliefs can't be accepted too. Who knows that six days in biblical time couldn't equal ages in earth time.

Answer 2

Do you believe that the tiny lights we see in the night sky are objects like our sun, or is it more accurate to say that you know they are? There may be no way for you to know for certain, but you still know it because many people before you did investigations and performed experiments that proved those little lights are (mostly, anyway) suns a lot like our own. And for the same reasons you can know that life on earth got to be the way it is through a process of evolution. There is a huge amount of evidence that confirms this, and the only way to believe otherwise is to simply ignore all that evidence.
And accepting evolution as the creative process that produced all life on earth is anything but a denial of the possibillity of a Creator.
In fact it would be hard to imagine a more beautiful and elegant way that all the millions of life forms could be brought into being, and in a way that automatically makes them conform to the conditions on the Earth so that they are able to survive and to thrive. And why wouldn't a creator, even a divine one, use such a beautiful system?
By the way, science does not say that we evolved from apes. But if you take it back far enough it says that we, and all other life forms, did evolve from single cell organisms.

Answer 3

i do. i'm sorry to hear that you don't since it's a pretty rock solid theory. the basic theory of evolution is that

-differences in characteristics among organisms exist

-the differences that are hereditary will be passed on to offspring

-different characteristics can cause different rates of reproductive success

-therefore, over time, organisms with characteristics that make them better able to produce offspring will (surprise!) produce more offspring, and those less able will produce less offspring.

This is the main idea behind the theory of evolution and natural selection. This has all been proven beyond any doubt. Where there is "controversy" (although its only controversial among the general public, not scientists) is whether or not this "survival of the fittest" leads to new species. With all the evidence supporting the view that it does lead to new species, it really makes as much sense to deny macro-evolution as to deny that the earth is round.

Even if you want to deny that evolution creates new species, you aren't disputing the central idea of evolution. Please, when you say that you don't believe in evolution, specify macro-evolution. Because evolutionary theory is pretty much beyond doubt, and even creationists admit that.

If you really want to learn more about the theory, you should ask questions in the biology section.

Answer 4

Apart from your inability to spell, one can easily detect that you are an ignorant fool. You have not understood the theory of evolution, which suggests that humans and apes have a common ancestor (not that we came from apes as you foolishly suggest), yet you have already decided that you do not believe it. You have put belief ahead of understanding. You should consider learning what the theory really says and what proof there is in support of it before you come to a conclusion. Otherwise, you're an obvious idiot, to whom not even apes would want to be related.

Answer 5

I believe in evolution. The poorly informed idea that we came from apes only reveals your misguided information on the subject. The only people who talk about the apes are those who can't intelectually deal with the science. Pathetic!

Answer 6

I believe in it since the ideas behind the whole theory are so logically put that it was enough for me to believe. Think about it this way. Today we are humans and all the dominate genes are making it and the weak genes die out. I this continues, will we still be "humans?"

Answer 7

The truth does not care about your beliefs, little girl, and somethings can be true, whether you believe in them or not. The theory of evolution does not say we came from apes, rather it says we and apes have common ancestors.

Answer 8

If we came from apes, how come there are still apes?

Most people decide what they want to believe and then go out and try to find evidence to support the belief they've already chosen. They violate a primal law, "to thy own self be true."

Others are what I refer to as regurgitators. They swallow up what they are told like good little children. they don't digest what they've swallowed, but they can and puke the information back up when asked, completely in tact.

Try looking at this link and round out your research since all of your answers seem to be in one vein. If you really want the truth, you'll figure it out.

Answer 9

Who here believes in Theory of Gravity? that objects attract each other?

I don't believe it!

For you see, I am very smart, i refuse to believe things that have only 99.9999999% possibility. i require a 100% -- and only Bible can give me that. Now since bible says nothing about theory of gravity -- it is clearly wrong.

Answer 10

I like to remind people that if women didn't shave their body hair, nobody would so easily forget our animal origins.
