Then how can you explain why all apes did not evolve, and if certain ants evolved from wasps, then why didnt all wasps evolve ? REALITY CHECK !

Think of it this way, you have a farmer and his wife. They are happy and content, the farmer grows just enough food for them and their two kids. Eventually the kids want to move out. So they learn new skils, one becomes an account, the other a lawyer. The kids move off to the city and get jobs in their respective fields.

Now everybody is happy. Everybody is making a living. The kids are in teh city. One is working as an accountant and one as a lawyer. Back on the farm, the farmer is still growing a lot of food. Nobody needs to change jobs - everybody is making a living.

That's sort of how evolution works but rather than thinking of it as just two kids finding a new way to make a living, think about maybe 1/10th of the population finding a new way to make a living. Either way, the farmer is still back there working the fields.

This is sort of a simple way to look at it, but you can email me questions if you are genuinely interested.

Bacteria does NOT evolve. Resistant strains become dominant. No new strains evolve.

I wish that evolutionists would stop claiming that variation within species is evolution.

Evolution is impossible. Mutations are virtually always harmful. For beneficial mutations to occur in sequence so as to create another species strains the credibility of anyone who has actually thought about it.

If we consider science, evolution is impossible. It has never been observed, and it never will. How could a rational person believe that something that cannot be created in a laboratory by scientists who are trying, can occur naturally. And then, magically "evolve" into the various species on earth today, as well as those species that have become extinct.

Is this science? I don't think so.

For the same reason that all people on the planet don't look exactly alike - genetic variation. Each individual inherits some qualities from the mother, other qualities from the father, and blends them in a unique way, so that even siblings or fraternal twins come out a little bit different... extend those changes over milllions of years, and they add up to BIG changes!

And technically, humans didn't evolve from apes... apes and humans both evolved from a common homonid ancestor.

Please stop using poor logic to try and bash a scientific theory that in no way threatens the beauty or strength of your religion. Evolution and religion can co-exist for the enlightened mind.

You fail to understand evolution and perhaps more study is needed on your part. Evolution has never stated than man evolved directly from apes. Man and apes evolved from a common ancestor thereby assuring 2 distinct species. The same can be said for the ants and the wasps.

Your view of evolution is logically flawed. You basically just negated your entire arguement by using a basic logical paradox.

You assume that all apes evolved from the same species of ape. This is technically correct, however, at one pont or another in evolution the species split and diversified (Humans evolved from a common ancestor of the ape, but diversification and adaptation led to human development). If you went by your arguement then in order for evolution to be completely diregarded, ALL apes would have to be of the same species. It is obvious that all apes are not the same species and have developed and adapted to various environments through evolution.

It is not to say that evolutionary theory is the be all end all of theories of life on Planet Earth, but it is far, FAR more probable than... POOF, animals! Like the mainstream religions seem to believe.

The apes did evolve. Into apes.

The wasps did evolve. Into wasps.

These are the forms that gave each species the best chance of survival in their respective environments.

Why don't you actually learn about evolution before you try to decry it. REALITY CHECK!

That's not what the scientific community is saying. Apes and man have a common ancestor - which no longer exists. All species alive today come from other species. Modern ants and modern wasps, likewise, share a common ancestor which no longer exists.
Although I really don't know why you're bothering - evolution is something you don't WANT to believe in because it doesn't fit in with a petty view of religion which you have - so no amount of evidence will do it for you.

Bacteria evolves and mutates on a weekly basis. REALITY CHECK! How can you possibly deny something that is working practically inside your own body?

If apes are thriving and have no reason to change, they will stay apes.

If wasps are getting enough food and thriving, they do not need to change into something else.

Only the creatures that are thrown into a not-so-ideal environment tend to evolve (i.e. developing methods to get food, stay warm/cool, evade/destroy predators, etc.)

The earth is billions of years old, the dinosaur fossils aren't placed here by the devil, and science tends not to be wrong. If it is as flawed as fundamentalists claim it to be, all the technology that is so fine tuned today could simply not exist.

Refrigerators don't just run because God told them to. There's an exact SCIENCE (ah!!! the anti-Christian word), or many sciences involved in how they function.

Simple logic really.

dude, if you're gonna use 'if evolution happened then...' questions, at least make them, idk, hows about half way intelligent. for example the cambrian explosion, now this doesnt disprove evolution, but it cant be explained by the current thoery.

and as for your question, no one said people come from apes. its that people and apes share a common ancestor. how did that one anscector turn into different animals? heres how:

divergent evolution is where a group is separated until it becomes new species altogether.

1 group of apes -> 2 half groups of apes with different evironments in which they adapt, and yes, evolve. now its 2 different species that came from that 1 ancestor (ape)

People did not evolve from apes. Apes and people share a common ancestor. That ancestor is not around any more because they all evolved.

Same things for wasps.

REALITY CHECK! Do you honestly think that no one ever thought of that in the last 100 years or so? I mean...c'mon now...
