If man evolved from monkeys and not from God, where did the monkeys come from? And so on..........?

Question

In the theory of evolution: (Def: In common usage, people often use the word theory to signify a conjecture, an opinion, or a speculation. In this usage, a theory is not necessarily based on facts; in other words, it is not required to be consistent with true descriptions of reality), man evolved from monkeys....NOT from God. If this is true.......where did monkeys come from? Rats? Where did they come from? Everything has to start somewhere. Where did everything start? (The Big Bang THEORY?)

The only logical answer is an UNKNOWN cause......GOD!!!!!!

Fact is, man only uses a very small percentage of their brain. What are the other parts used for? If we had 100% usage of our brain, we would be perfect. The only perfect being is God!

Answer 1

You're 100% correct. Folks espousing "evolution" always forget the MOST important (missing) piece of their argument: how did life begin in the first place? I've studied microbiology, organic chemistry, etc. extensively and I can tell you it's an IMPOSSIBILITY that the first unicellular organisms came together by random events.

Answer 2

Maybe I should not be surprised by this question. Every day someone asks "If monkeys evolved into people why are there still monkeys?" and "If evolution is only a theory, why are you so convinced?" Today we have both questions in one.

Mary, I am going to try to answer this respectfully, I apologize in advance if this comes across as condescending. From your brief question it is quite obvious you have little or no science education. I or any one else here cannot teach you what you need to know in the time and space available here. A few college-level courses in biology or a similar field will show you that your questions are completely off base. Good luck.

P.S. - I was going to say high school-level science, but some high schools will not touch the evolution/creation controversy with a ten foot pole.

Answer 3

Yes, in "common usage" people often use the term "theory" in that way. However, in science such speculations or conjectures are known as hypotheses. To attain the status of a scientific theory, a hypothesis must be well supported by evidence. All major scientific theories are extremely well supported by evidence, or they would not be thories. This includes the theory that atoms exist, and the theory of biolocal evolution.

Man did not evolve from monkeys. No scientist would ever suggest such a ludicrous idea. Anyone who mentions such an idea obviously has no knowledge of biological science. If you would like to obtain some basic scientific information, so you at least have a basic understanding of what you think you don't accept, you can find it here:

Answer 4

Really deep question. The answer to this question could take years to answer if every state was analized to to support the next statement made. Even in the big bang theory, evolution, we can still view God as the maker or the one that put into action every event that unfolded into the world we know now.Takeing into consideration the fossils found of what we conclude as early man could have been as simple as a species tha now is extinct.What is found cannot be disputed but by theory it could have been a different type of man and has nothing to do with what is man today. God can be included in all theorys unless God is chosen to be excluded by the one makeing the theory. That's just what I believe.

Answer 5

Mary B,
Your questions continually show your lack of education both in spiritual matters as well as scientific ones.

You have obviously not studied your own bible, which is evident in several questions you have asked, and now you spout off about the hypothesis of evolution without knowledge as well.

Just to educate you slightly, here are two things to remember about evolution:
1. Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees. Humans and chimpanzees are evolutionary cousins and share a recent common ancestor that was neither chimpanzee nor human.

2. Humans are not "higher" or "more evolved" than other living lineages. Since our lineages split, humans and chimpanzees have each evolved traits unique to their own lineages.

Your logic is totally flawed. If there is an UNKNOWN cause, then it isn't God.. that would make it a KNOWN cause..

Please stop humliating yourself with these questions. Educate yourself beforehand and then ask something that won't embarrass you or your God.

Answer 6

What can I say, but, "Wow!" I always used the scientific definition of theory: a hypothesis, based on previous observations, which makes substantial testable predictions, which are subsequently tested. Your approach is so simple. As a result, rather than use logic, I'll support your simplicity and provide a picture of your "rat" -- a small creature that lived 55 million years ago. Note his cute grasping paws. This is the ancestor of the primates.

Answer 7

I am not an evolutionist, so this is what I understand about the evolution of primates (of which both man and apes are clumped together.
Both man and apes shared a common ancestor. The homo (man) line diverged somewhere around 3 millions years ago, depending on who is telling the story. This is a fact, until they come up with a better story.

Answer 8

So.... now man evolved from God.

Also, if it's an "unknown cause", how can you know that it's "God"?

For me, the big bang theory and evolution are easier to accept than humans just appearing because "god" willed it. I think a cosmic accident is a perfectly viable explanation for life on this planet. Think about how random and unexplainable the world really is. but that's me, and you're you. Different strokes for different folks.

Answer 9

Do you know the Bible verse about the mote in your neighbor's eye? You should read it, and reflect for a while.

And if you know so little about evolution that you think that scientists believe that people came from monkeys who came from rats, you should know that each and every time you open your mouth in public on this topic you're going to make a complete and utter fool of yourself. Frankly, you're ignorant almost beyond belief.

Suzanne (below), if you'd really studied those topics extensively you'd know that science doesn't claim that the first life forms came together at random. You are at best wildly exaggerating your studies and it's far more likely that you're simply lying. You don't do your side any good with this kind of dishonesty. You may think it's clever, but smart, honest people can see right through it, and it only reinforces our belief that creationists are deliberate liars.

Later: Fact is that "man uses only a small percentage of his brain" story is pure fiction. Look it up on Snopes.com.
You're just digging yourself deeper into a hole. The obvious problem is that you're too gullible and poorly informed to understand things.

Answer 10

Um, ok. Did you in basic terms opt to convey interest to the Aussie victory or did you have a factor? the only area of the interest our (England) team is robust at are batting collapses.

Answer 11

the Bible and science are not mutually exclusive. If more people like you would stop thinking they are then everyone would be able to get along much better.

Science is the study of God's methods. the Bible is the word of God.
