If we evolved from monkeys, then who created monkeys.?

Question

I am a Christian and I believe that God created men, the world and everything in it.

Answer 1

If we evolved from monkeys, why aren't they still evolving? They just decided that's enough? God created us and God created monkeys. We didn't evolve from monkeys!

Answer 2

Humans and apes evolved independently from a common ancester. There is no proof of any higher being ever doing anything.

Every fossil, every observation in biology points to evolution. There is nothing that goes against it or points to a different way to scientifically explain modern diversity. There is not one fossil or one piece of DNA that does NOT point to evolution. It would be hard NOT to see the concrete evidence, and only those blinded by faith can do this.

Evolution is 100% world-wide accepted fact, including the evolution of man.

There is ZERO evidence for a higher being causing anything. This is why people who are religious need faith, you can't see or study the actions of a deity, by definition. Evolution has ZERO faith and ALL evidence.

Scientists (real ones) have been studying and supporting evolution for over 150 years, and still nothing has pointed to creationism. There is clear links and transitional forms between everything in the fossil record to the Class-Family level, if not Genus-Species level. And this includes humans, which there are several 'missing links' which are well described and studied, people just choose to ignore this. Sure, there are still things we don't know, but that's why science is not stagnent and dead. We learn more every day, that's what happens when you keep an open mind and follow the scientific method.

There are some areas of evolution in which all of the pieces have not been found in the fossil record, but there is no counter theory that has even ONE piece of evidence that can not easily be explained by evolution.

Let me turn the question around, if Creationism was correct and science could definitively prove Creationism (and thus the existence of God), why would they not? That would be the greatest scientific discovery in the history of the world. No one would pass that up to maintain the 'status quo'. There is no conspiracy to hide creation evidence. Anyone who knows real scientists knows they are glory-mongers first. They love to prove others wrong to enhance their own standing. And if any scientist could prove Creation/God, it would've been done a long time ago.

Go to a museum, take a class in biology, go to reputable sites on the Internet (like AAAS: http://www.aaas.org/news/press_room/evolution or http://www.talkorigins.org ) and find out for yourself.

Answer 3

It's entirely possible that God created all animals, etc... however there is no scientific proof to back this up. Faith is not scientifically based. Evolution, IS scientifically based and is based on fact and care full study. Darwin, himself was a christian and voyaged around the world to find evidence of God, when he found evidence that animals and plants evolved from other species. So actually, you could believe both if you wanted to be scientific for at least half of your argument!

Answer 4

It's too late at night to explain this for the second time this week on Yahoo Answers.
Basically, evolution is the answer to your question. Monkeys evolved from a central creature that also evolved other monkey like creatures.
Don't put down what you don't understand.
P.S. We didn't evolve from monkeys. We just have a common ancestor with monkeys. Do your research before you wind up sounding uneducated over the entire internet.

Answer 5

Monkeys evolved from an earlier version of Primate.

Answer 6

everything evolved from everything, an we evolved from many different types of earle human. The first life forms began as single-celled orginizims in the oceans and sorry to tell you this but God didn't create anything. Well thats just my own belief and perspective of the whole eveloution thing.

Answer 7

We didn't evolve from monkeys. We had a common ancestor with monkeys.

Answer 8

nope we didn't evolve from monkeys if you want to not believe science and facts fine, but at least doa little research and know why you want to remain in the dark ages
no one created monkeys , they didn't need to be created, like us they evolved from an earlier ancestor to fit the needs of their environment.
the catholic church doesn't hav a problem with evolution, most Christians in te world dont have problem with evolution, you shouldn't

Answer 9

L Ron Hubbard? It is amazing how many people will are ready to believe any crazy notion but find God to be a little far fetched.

Answer 10

I believe that God created man and then man created science. Which in turn came up with the idea that we came from monkeys. So really God created man then man created a monkey theory. Crazy but logical.
