If you believe in evolution then you need to believe that the bible is a lie. If you believe in the bible then you need to believe that evolution, despite scientific evidence, is a lie.

Humans didn't evolve FROM apes. The two share a COMMON ANCESTOR. Unfortunately, many people don't know the facts about the theory of Evolution, and therefore make glaring mistakes when questioning it.
You're free to believe that humans were made from dirt, but it's likely just a myth, like the thousands of other creation myths that were written before the Bible was invented.

If you want to know the truth or get close to it, you have to think about possibilities and use logic in breaking them down according to their probabilities. Since both ideas are not absolutely true or false, they remain possibilities. If we look at the evolution theory, we'll find that the idea was based on scientific studies with physical evidence to back it up. But as of now, not enough to disprove other possibilities. If we look at the bible, we'll find that most of the compelling ideas came from people who claim to have had a divine experience. In other words here say (sounds close to heresy, doesn't it?). But no one can disprove that they were actually touched by a supreme being. So it still remains a possibility. We should accept the fact that we are still in the process of learning what humanity is. We should share our ideas about this subject matter to learn and not to mock those who have ideas different from our own. We should try to understand one another to have mutual respect. Since both ideas are not absolute, there is no point arguing about it. No one will win, we'll all lose.

Evolution of humanity from apes is the coclusion drawn by Darwin whereas Adm and Eve and resultantly procreation of human from union is based on religion, especially islam. Scientific conclusion generally contradict religion in several fields, for example. Take the example of earth. Science says that it is round just like a foot ball, whereas according to islam it is flat. Similarly sky is limit of eye sight according to science, but sky is a world after death where God will do justice to humanbeings. So the question is in itself defective and not reasonable. Try to avoid such questions which do not ead any where.

If Adam and Eve were here first then we would have to come to the conclusion that every person in the world is related to one another and we are all products of incest however i believe that mankind evolved from apes.

ADAM & EVE WERE NOT the first humans. Man was created on the 6th day of creation, and ADAM & EVE were created after the Sabbath Day, (seventh day). Read the account in Genesis.

You don't actually believe the Adam and Eve story is REAL do you. I suppose you've never heard of a concept called a "creation myth" before? Wow, I hate to tell you this man, but ......... Santa isn't real either, and the tooth fairy is actually your Aunt Martha. Sorry, but don't you think it was about time SOMEBODY told you!
