ok so let's keep up with the theory of evolution. so what will "humans" look like in 3000, 5000, 20,000 years?

ok sho-nuff, lets say 50,000 years
2006-12-20 05:29:52 · update #1
ok some say more years are needed, 100,000 years 200,000. stop evading the question. if you dont have an answer, dont respond.

Hmmm
without going into the "we came from a mudball from God'....
Most of our evolution comes from several factors;
Social adaptation
Physical adaption
Geological adaptation
So in that order;
Social changes; we will see the human population 'change' due to our increasing lack of physical activity. This will more pronounced as we 'leap into space' ad the lack of gravity may have long-term effects on the first travelers.
Physical changes; we have already identified several organs that are essentially useless (appendix and our receding 'tailbone'... yes we have a 'tailbone'). This will continue as we no longer need certain things to process what we ingest and organs will continue to develop to fight the things we eat and catch (diseases).
Geological changes; the planet is going to go through another 'cooling down period' maybe even an Ice Age (you did say centuries). This will result in certain 'physical types' coming back into the mainstay.

Yes.
How the human genome will change will depend on which forces have the most impact on who survives and reproduces and who doesn't. The genome of individuals will continue to change in random ways as it has for millions of years, but the overall change in the species will depend on which of those changes result in more progeny. Most of them won't. This is the meaning of natural selection.
A common fallacy is to believe that the "direction" evolution has taken in the past can be extrapolated into the future. This is only true to the extent that the salient selective forces that operated in the past are going to be the same in the future. In the case of humans, this seems unlikely.
In the short term, the human race will become darker and more racially homogeneous. The first because at present population growth rates are highest in places where darker skinned people live, and they will leave relatively more individuals carrying their genes to pass on to subsequent generations. The second, because geographical isolation is breaking down, and closed populations are "breeding out" more than at any other time in history.
Purely physical forces such as competition with other species will have much less impact on how the genome is selected in future generations than in the past: human culture (including wars, genocides, reproductive technologies and economics) will be far more important factors in which genetic lines remain continuous and which don't.

The time frames you offer just show how little you've understood and read about Evolution.
Human evolution does not go that fast. Evolution is not a steadily-paced process. Humans 20,000 years ago were just like today's humans. It took humans hundreds of thousands of years to evolve into what we are today.
Books don't bite. Read one from time to time. Lay off the Bible, it's far from being a reliable source of anything.

The TOE proposes that ALL life has a common source, and that it became diverse through natural selection to fill the diverse niches in nature. One could guess at the future of human beings based on the forms of natural selection humans face.

thats a good point. what will we look like in 3000, 5000, or 20,000 years? i personally dont understand evolution... or any other way they say we came to be what we are... but evolutionists theorize that we came from ape looking men.... so the answer is yes.
my friend says:: It is true; I am looking at the proof as we speak.

No, that's not what they think. They are too smart to think that we came from apes or ape looking men. They say that our ancestors somehow develop from protozoa or amoeba, and slowly through billions of years, some of those ancestors develop into higher and smarter beings. But there are missing links between the two species say between the ape looking men and us. Perhaps we we wait a few more billion years, we can find those missing links! I like their theories though, it reminds me when I was small my grandma used to put me on her lap and she told my favourite stories which always started with: "Once upon a time.... or A long ...long time ago..." It so comfortable to hear the scientists explain the beginning of life on earth with: "A long..long time ago.... or billions and billions of years ago.....there was this tiny protozoa in the pond of mud...."
On the other hand the Bible's version of the theory of the Big Bang is: In the beginning God said "Let there be light" and "Bang!" in the next instant there was light. Next God said:
"Let there be firmament... land... creatures in the air...." and "Bang!" they all came into existence.
Psalm 33:6-9
6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,
And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;[a]
He lays up the deep in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9 For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
Genesis 1:1-13
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was[a] on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” 7 Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 So the evening and the morning were the third day.
They are both theories. But you need far greater faith to believe that we came from ape like men than to believe that we came because that we came from "God-like-man called Adam", and that every creatures from amoeba to us, shows perfection in designs which show that there must be a super inteligent Creator who planned and created us.
If those lowly and simple creatures billions of years ago were capable to develop into higher and better species, why can't we, with all our advance technology and sophisticated instruments cannot change ourselves into better human beings, say with fins and wings, so that we can fly and swim. And why are our babies the weakest of all other species' babies? The other animals' babies can survive a soon as they were born, but human babies would be dead without their parents or foster parents to take care of them for several years after their birth.

in case you get on the numerous different forums, non secular is one, and skim the numerous questions you'll comprehend that many human beings have not developed too a procedures from apes. and considering it takes some million years to adapt to any quantity, ask that question in a million years.

We will evolve into 3 species of apes. Some humans will not evolve any further but will lose the ability of speech.

You would have to go at least 30,000 years. That's how long humans have been in their current form. The trend has been for human features to become "finer. I would expect finer features, less hair (not necessary).

Answer #1
Yes! They do. I would ask them where the ape came from and so on until they did not have an answer for that final question, which is ... "Where did it come from?"
Answer #2
Since I do not believe in evolution, it would be unfair to you for me to answer this question.
