Answer 1

When I went to medical school, there was nothing in the text about the human species having it's origin from a monkey. And that was just recently. However their was at least a theory based on some very strong evidence of DNA combined with archaeological findings that demonstrate the "possibility" of humans being linked to an ape like creature through evolution.

That doesn't imply that you have a cousin that is a monkey. We are unique to this planet of ours. Just related by chromosomes to another species is all.

Take the whale for instance. The whale is more closely related to the hippopotamus than any other creature on earth. But are they the same? Evolution took them both down different paths. But they are linked through DNA and some other characteristics.

Breath easy. Your daddy wasn't a spider monkey.

Answer 2

You are not a separate creature from the world you breathe the atmosphere. You eat animals, live in buildings made from the planet drink its water, you are part of the huge environment. How can you be better than the creatures that allow you to survive for without them you wouldn't exist. The point is its not just the monkey's its the entire spectrum of nature, everything even the stars

Answer 3

"Nondescript" gave a good answer as to the philosophy of evolution.

Just as I think the literal acceptance of the statement that God created the universe in 7 days is short-sighted, I actually have no problem accepting evolution as well as God's/Allah's influence in it. But rather that such statements in the Bible (and other religious texts) were primitive men trying to grasp ungraspable concepts. But that doesn't take away from believing that a higher power had to be involved in such an amazing series of events.

Similarly, I think that God's "plan" to create Man and Woman could very well have included laying into place all the elements necessary to allow a species of primates to eventually become "Adam and Eve."

Answer 4

Perhaps when you have a minute you could go to a public library and read a few books. "On the Origin of Species" from Charles Darwin is a good start. Also a biology book.
You might then undestand a few things pertaining to your question.
If knowledge and undestanding is not your cup of tea then try belief, faith and superstition instead but in that case you must know that asking questions leads to heresy.

Answer 5

no, the fact that we were all supposedly evolved from a point of singularity but yet as humans we are the only species that have the capacity for pyschological growth baffles me. we could not have evolved from singularity or we would not be so different. also the fact that we show emotion and are aware of our conscience negates the premise of natural selection.

evolution makes no sense. chance would not heed way for the courtousy of balance, but would only warrant a self serving product, in that case, negating the purpose of existence altogether. we came from something, but a single ball running unopposed through a blank existence will keep on its same path. we could not have evolved from a point of singularity simply because two variables must present for any kind of event to truly take place. natural selection as an inanimate manifestation has no concept of consequence. the universe would have imploded on itself several million years ago.

Answer 6

You might do well to read a bit more on the theory of evolution. It is possible to leap directly to righteous indignation without exploring what it is we're indignant about, but generally speaking, when one does that an appearance of ignorance is the result.

If you don't know, as you say, "how can i be in origin a monkey" (sic) why not learn more? Learning is good!

Answer 7

Please don't tell me you believe you evolved from a monkey. When you look in a mirror, do you see a monkey on your face? No where or no one has ever witnessed a monkey evolve into a human being. That's why God exists, because he's the Creator of all things. We were made in the image of God and God does not look like a monkey. Please read your bible, the Bible clearly states where we are from or how we ended up here on earth. If God was a monkey He would have created you in His image, get it........!

Answer 8

No. However, humans, apes, and monkeys do have a common primate ancestor. Humans and monkeys are more like cousins. We don't come from monkeys any more than you come from your cousin. It's two different branches.

If you would like to learn more about evolution, though, and how humans came about. I highly recommend any of the books on the topic written by Richard Dawkins. He writes well and is easy to understand.

Answer 9

God created all creatures including humans. Some become extinct and some remain. It is a foolish theory speculated by someone in need to become famous. So, no, monkeys remain monkeys and humans remain humans,

Answer 10

If we seem on the conception impartial , and taking in to account each and every of the evidences presented through Darwin, we are with dismay ought to agree for the conception of beginning of species. until eventually yet another counter concept is available ,this continues to be the Bible on evolution.
