If man evolved from monkey's and apes. see below?

Question

Why do we still see monkey's and apes?

Then why do these scientists, say we came from either monkey's.apes or frogs?

Answer 1

You have been misinformed. What you have to understand is that as time passes, the world moves into new times and new things, and the human understanding must constantly be renewed. God makes all things new!

Beginning about 300 years ago, the human ability to reason brought about the Enlightenment, and with it the scientific revolution. For most people, the Enlightenment brought intellectual freedom and an opportunity to draw closer to a rational grasp of the reality in which we are immersed.

THESE PEOPLE ARE THE WINNERS.

There remained and still remain, however, a minority of people who do not understand the meaning, the power, the godliness and the beauty of that rational understanding, but instead find it frightening. These people prefer to remain with their incorrect understanding that in the past there were people who had a correct understanding of things that came from supernatural sources. These people insist that their faulty understanding of the older magical sources is the real understanding, and that those who have accepted the rational way of approaching reality must be wrong because modern people disagree with what the leaders of these regressive thinkers want their followers to believe.

THESE PEOPLE ARE THE LOSERS.

The winners win and the losers lose for the simple reason that REALITY IS WHAT REALITY IS, AND NO ONE'S WISHES TO THE CONTRARY MATTER AT ALL.

Evolution is a well understood process that has little to do with "mutations" producing new species. The evidence for evolution is overwhelming, and all the winners accept the notion of evolution. Only the losers refuse to accept it.

Here is a web site that is easy to understand that explains in simple terms why the notion of Evolution describes reality correctly.

http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evosite/evohome.html

From this you will learn why the Godly, sane approach to reality is to accept the fact that Evolution explains part of the mystery of how God creates his creation, and why being afraid to accept the notion of Evolution is ungodly and based on irrational fears.

Please save your fear for fearing ("revering") God, and see if you can outgrow fearing reality. Leave the LOSERS behind, and become a WINNER. Relax, and let the Holy Spirit carry you into the real world.

Answer 2

You should at least understand what your preachers are telling you to be against! Monkeys (there is NO apostrophe in the plural), apes and humans all share a common ancestor that was neither monkey, ape nor human. But the preachers of ignorance don't want you to know that because it removes the emotional reaction to being "nothing more" than a clever ape.

Besides, this is an argument with no meaning. If a population of monkeys became isolated and over thousands of years built up so many genetic changes that it could no longer interbreed with the original group and thus became a new species, that does not imply that the original group can't still be around, as healthy as it ever was.

The anti-evolutionary arguments I hear are always pathetic in the extreme - and this is one of the worst. Read something besides the Bible, why don't you? Even most churches admit that it was never intended to be a science book, for Christ's sake!

Answer 3

It's about different lineages and common ancestors. All apes/monkeys including man (if you go back in time far enough) had a common primate ancestor. All present species are at the tips of the whole phylogenetic tree. Some species diverged from certain lineages (branches) due to isolation (geographic or resource partitioning) to produce separate species given sufficient time but if you follow the tree back far enough along those branches you'll find a common ancestor of the lineages.

Answer 4

Man did not evolve from an ape like the ones we see now, but if he did, why wouldt it be so crazy that there are still apes in the world?
There are still some Ford T's going around...
I still play with my Atari every once in a while....

In fact, what makes you (human) so hot? how come you are "better" than apes? Have you ever seen a human try to get rid of lices? apes do it much better, so...

Answer 5

. Do you believe that there are house cats, tigers and lions? Do you believe that there are foxes, wolves and coyotes? There is no law in nature which prevents multiple species which are closely related from existing at the same time.
. Humans and apes are descended from some common ancestor, but that common ancestor no longer exists. Natural forces caused the isolation of different populations of that common ancestor. Over a few million years of separation of these breeding populations, the random recombination of the genome within each population, plus the incorporation of different genetic mutations into the separated populations, they drifted far apart in appearance an capabilities.
. The drifting apart of separated populations is something which has been observed to a limited degree in the limited amount of time humans have been watching. I happened to a larger degree over the millions of years when no one was taking notes. Notes were kept, though, in the fossil record. Nature had no intent to take notes, so the records are hard to find, but honest people only trying to find the truth from the physical evidence have been able to discern a consistent pattern whose overall meaning is clear to those who study it. They may disagree on some little details, but there is overwhelming agreement on the overall meaning of the record.

Answer 6

Evolution is still a work in progress. When an advantageous mutation in a specie takes place, it gives specific advantages to the new specie - it does not necessarily cause the original species to go extinct - although, the monkeys and apes aren't exactly increasing in population and will probably be extinct within the next century - and then your question will be moot.

Answer 7

The species diverged a few million years ago, but monkeys and apes did not die out.

In other words, there was a common ancestral species.

Answer 8

*sigh*...Divergent evolution...or branching. A common ancestor "splits" and forms 2 or more different species. This happens because of population isolation and other factors.

Answer 9

Please, don't criticize what you don't understand. The claim of mainstream evolutionists is that humans and apes have a common ancestor, not that apes somehow 'turned into' humans.

Answer 10

some apes evolved and became humans others did not evolve and stayed the same
