Evolution states that man and all other primates evolved from a common ancestor, not that man was at one point a chimpanzee. Evolution also says nothing about whether or not evolution was planned by god and leaves that possibility open to religious interpretation.

No, they don't understand it. They don't want to understand it, because it contradicts their bible. They'd rather put their fingers in their ears and say "lalalala I can't hear you!!" in the face of science.

a extra perfect question is why do such fairly a number of the knowledgeable ones say that "we did not evolve from apes". Many say we developed from an apelike ancestor. That apelike ancestor is continually said as an ape even in the fossil list. i might want to work out saying we did not evolve from present day apes yet they say we did not evolve from apes it quite is in simple terms flat incorrect no count number the way you seem at it. who's filling the heads of those knowledgeable those with such nonsense and why isn't it immediately glaring to them that that's for sure no longer authentic. do not they understand what an ape is or that apes were in the fossil list for type of 15 million years? those who ask the question apparently do not realize evolution and imagine of people because the finest purpose. they don't realize that evolution don't have a purpose and they don't even get the concept of separate species evolving independently.

No not everyone does. Some people think the evolutionists believe that an actual ape or monkey turned into a humanoid. They do not understand the process that the evolutionist put forward nor the actual biology of organisms. Thy think that there is a clear line between humans and other life forms when in fact biologically at least there isn't. We share 30% (or so) of our DNA with yeast! All DNA is made of A,C,G or T. From generation to generation the DNA is usually very slightly different but sometimes some event causes a greater modification. As far as I understand the big changes are most visible in viruses. BTW the structure of a virus is so similar to the human/animal cell that it is difficult to kill viruses in humans/animals without damaging the human cell.

Distinctions between theory and fact
Stephen Jay Gould explained that "evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts do not go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's, but apples did not suspend themselves in mid-air, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape-like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."[52]
The modern synthesis, like its Mendelian and Darwinian antecedents, is a scientific theory. A theory is an attempt to identify and describe relationships between phenomena or things, and generates falsifiable predictions which can be tested through controlled experiments and empirical observation. Speculative or conjectural explanations tend to be called hypotheses, and well tested explanations, theories. Fact tends to mean a datum, an observation, i.e., a fact is obtained by a fairly direct observation. However, a fact does not mean absolute certainty; in science, fact can only mean "confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent."[53] A theory is obtained by inference from a body of facts. Fact and theory denote the epistemological status of knowledge; how the knowledge was obtained, what sort of knowledge it is.
Evolution is still a theory - with unprovable aspects still at bay.
Biblical facts have been proven with archaeological discoveries not theories.
You decide !

Evolutions is just a theory like electricity and gravity.
No one should believe it.
-When your doctor won't give you an antibiotic without diagnosing you first, call him a humanist and find a doctor that only subscibes to the "best science available".
-When your mom says, "don't mary your sister.". Tell her you don't believe in all that genetic natural selection crap, marry her, and have a big family .
-When you apply herbacides and pesticides, ignore the minimum application requirements (often written into law). That is just the chemical companies trying to get you to use more of their product.

First, the so-called theory of evolution is unproven and debatable.
Secondly how did life began on this planet known to human as earth? Complex organic material generated from stars could have been transported to the solar system and could be a possible cause of life on earth!
Finally, what are we? We are the products of the biological union of two bodies, and nothing more!

I never thought it did mean that. Apes are our closest relatives, genetically speaking, at least, that's all I ever thought.

Yes we understand it. So how are you guys doing finding that "common ancestor". Somehow we can find dinosaurs that are millions of years old, and yet we can't seem to find that common link.

Ricky, do you believe everything you hear as a scientific theory? Evolution is science but it is a theory, not a fact.

We know we also know how much it pisses you off when we say ape or monkey.
