Answer 1

Concerning the debate going on about intelligent design and evolution: is it possible that the final answer about which of these two seemingly opposite ideas is correct could simply be yes?

With one position firmly held by the believers and the other just as fearlessly defended by the non-believers, if you happen to be in a position somewhere near the middle, it does not look all that complex. From this position, you wonder why either-or has to be the answer.

If you believe that some higher being created the universe by intelligent design, what more elegant and intelligent design could there have been than a self-regulating system that continually checks its own errors and makes its own corrections in mid-stream as an integral part of the process.

This all seems quite logical to me although it probably won’t satisfy the believers because they are afraid to see any truth other than the one they have been told to believe in. Inversely it certainly won’t satisfy the non-believers because it leaves them stuck with a god that they are so obviously terrified of.

To sum up this view from the center, it might be most easily be explained by saying perhaps the designer was intelligent. Problem is, the designer was likely so intelligent that those seeking to prove that it is intelligently designed may be incapable of ever understand it well enough to see it for the elegant self regulating design that it has always been.

The nonbelievers will be similarly handicapped due to the internal terror the have about the idea that there may be a God. Neither side being able to leave their entrenched position for fear they may have to admit they were wrong. While the rest of us stand by trying to figure out what all the fuss is about. Personally I don’t think anyone is wrong, I just feel both sides are about half right.

Answer 2

the biggest problem here is most people know just a little about evolution, therefore jump to these kids of conclusions, or other even more ridiculous conclusions.

we did not come from apes; however we have a common ancestor with the apes. so the apes came from the same grandmother as we did in a sense.

and before her? still more common ancestors with other species, until you go back to the first single cell organism that floated in the oceans.

this is the FACT of evolution, so to try and answer your first question, i assume the people you speak of feel there is only one way or the other, so if you don't believe in giod, you must believe in the facts.

Answer 3

Plz!! dont believe the crap Darwin told since he himself states that his theory has many discripancies.

Humans have always been humans...reason:
I am not capable of growing a single hair on my body. How can apes become humans? Just by mere wishing? No. If this was possible humans would eveolve too into a different form by now. Some evolved form with wings i suppose.

Why are we still humans? Why didnt we change even a bit if time is what it takes for someone to evolve into something else. Why havnt other things evolved too by now? Atleast they should have evolved just an itsi bit.

Answer 4

When people make that assumption, it is one of two things: A) ignorance or B) rhetoric
Religious people don't want to learn what evolution really is, so they make an ignorant statement about it because they want to discredit it by making it sound offensive. But it isn't logical to argue against what your opponent doesn't believe. My personal feeling on the matter is that the whole thing happened a long time ago and there weren't any scientists or scripture writers present as eye witnesses to the event(s). We can argue all we want, but no one really knows. Science does come much closer to a reasonable explanation of the origins of life than mythology does and I don't see that understanding science negates belief in God.
I hope you'll have good luck in answering this question for yourself.

Answer 5

I don't assume anything. Believe whatever you want. Apes are still around. That is science's folly. You say you believe in a higher power. If not God, then what? Is that what agnostics believe? There is some higher power, but we won't say it's God? You might as well be an atheist. An unbeliever is the same to God regardless of what you call yourself. When the end of all things comes, Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that He is God.

Answer 6

This silly argument has been going on since the 20's ...born from the Scope's "monkey trial." NO ONE says that man came from apes! Please do not make that mistake again, or people will think you are somewhat misinformed, or just stupid. There is little doubt that man and apes arose from the same evolutionary source..both on different limbs of the tree. The "Man from Apes" is an archaic argument used by Fundamentalist and falls flat on its face, idiotic in nature. There is NO need to make yourself look foolish just because you believe in God...that is your business, but don't use this argument.

Answer 7

I don't know why anyone would think that we came from apes. Technically we are still apes, we are of the group of great apes. Saying that we came from apes is like saying a falcon came from a sparrow. We came from something that was not an ape, just as all apes came from something that was not an ape.

Answer 8

I don't see any conflict actually. I can see that science has concluded that evolution of apes to man took place and I believe that God is responsible for it. I believe that God created all, and how is really not important to me.

Answer 9

I never let people influence my thinking particularly in these times. The laws against invasion of privacy are still on the books but I'm finding the biggest perpetrator is government itself. Let's face it. Nobody has access to THAT kind of technology. The pity is, why are people so cowardly against denouncing it?

Answer 10

YOu're a moron. The Theory of Evolution NEVER (READ OUT LOUD) NEVER mentions that we came from apes.

In short, it mentions that hominins like you, me, apes, oraguntangs, gorillas, chimps et al, share a common ancestor, i.e., that all of us evolved from a now extinct creature, certainly not an ape.

When you want to discuss a topic, make sure you know something about it, ok, matey?
