i find evolution very stupid. i dont see why people compare themselves to a monkey or a frog. And if it was true why arent we evolving now we humans have been like we are for over 6,000 years. i mean charles darwin in his book said i believe..... why not say this evolved into this instead of i believe......

Humans are evolving. We've grown taller for one. The pinky of the foot is gradually disappearing. You can not want to BELIEVE that you evolved from proteins and eventually monkeys....but you did. This isn't a belief. This isn;t debateable. This is. Period. End of story. We have watched evolution occurr in moths, rats, fruit flies...etc. etc. etc. I don;t understand why there is a debate about evolution. It isn't a debateable issue. It isn;t a theory. There are theories about how evolution occurred. There are theories about different mechanisms. But the existence of evolution is fact. It's documented, observable, fact. It's observable in DNA strands.
You can argue God caused evolution, but evolution exists. The denial of evolution is exactly the same as saying the sun isn't the center of the solar system. A position the Catholic Church took for quite a while, depsite all evidence to the contrary. 200 years from now the Catholic Church will finally acknowledge evolution exists....like they did with the sun.....they're just a little slow. By the way...6,000 years is an extremely short period of time in terms of geological scale. Have a nice day :-)

Here is my list. There is more, I just tried to stick with the easy to understand ones.
* Fossils - the order can be determined by stratification alone (no radiological dating) it is unarguable and life started simple and got more complex. Here is a simple chart to show what I mean: http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/fossils/succession.html
* Anatomical similarities between species.
* Chemical similarities between species.
* Mitochondrial DNA regressive studies. - This comes only from your mother and the only changes to it are through mutations. These mutations occur at a known rate, and converge world wide 150,000 years ago give or take. If Eve (6000 years ago) was the only female, it would be almost identical world wide. It is not. The flood gives a second bottleneck that matches the facts even less well.
* Geographic distribution of related species. Meaning related species are usually near each other.
* Wisdom Teeth - there isn't room on your jaw for them anymore.
* Your little toe - totally useless. Nice intellegent design here.
* Your appendix - totally useless now but it does digest cellulose in other species.
* Your inner eyelids - They don't even work now, but they do for lots of other animals like house cats. Bet you didn't even know you had 'em.
* Vestigial DNA - meaning chromosomes that we have but don't use, but that used in other species. We have several that other primates use but are totally useless to us.
* The fact that we share so much DNA among species
* There are no wild cows. They evolved through artificial selection and are totally man made.
* Different breeds of dogs, cats, livestock.
* Viruses and bacteria evolve quickly and you can actually see it. This is why you need a new flu shot every year.
* Your tail bone. It is even not that uncommon to be born with a tail.
* Goosebumps - this would be useful if we had fur because it fluffs it and make more insulation. For us it is worthless.
* The hair standing up on your neck when you are frightened. Animals use this to make themselves look bigger. Doesn't work when you walk upright and don't have fur.
* The fact that humans have gotten measurably and heritablely taller since the 1600s
* The fact that humans jaw have gotten measurably and heritablely smaller since the 1600s
* The fact that humans little toes have gotten measurably and heritablely smaller since the 1600s
* Human lower back problems. Your back is intelligently designed to have support from your shoulders.

we are still evolving just not in the sense you are thinking of as far growing gills or something cool like that. what we are doing is evolving technologically ie computers and other stuff. as far as why people believe in it I can only say this people believe what ever they find comfort in. some feel its jesus some feel its a science book. One is no more crazier than the other. evolutionists believe we all came from single celled organisms and creationists think we just appeared. when you see both side by side they are both pretty looney. I think the two can exist together. heres my idea. god used the laws of science to create this world. pretty simple huh

You can believe in God and that there are things beyond your understanding, yet you cant believe in evolution, how open minded of you *sarcasm*
The Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian 10. - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, and yet you feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.
9. - You feel both insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, yet you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.
8. - You laugh at those silly polytheists, and have no problem believing in a Triune God.
7. - Your face turns purple and you clench your teeth when you hear about the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, yet you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of
entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, babies and even trees!
6. - You laugh at Hindu beliefs which deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women. Still, you have no problem believing the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then
gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.
5. - You are willing to spend your life looking for little bitty loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth. (a few billion years)
Yet you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents & guessing the Earth is a few generations old.
(The same guys who said the earth was flat and that it was also the center of the entire universe.)
4. - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- and throughly excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering.
Yet you consider your religion to be the most "tolerant" and "loving."
gaara, god is everywhere and there is no need for christ, buddah, mohammed. it is the content of your heart and the immpecability of your deed
3. - While modern science, history, DNA, anthropology, archology, geology, physics and biology have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" that Christianity is true.
2. - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers.You consider that to be evidence prayer works. And you think the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.
1. - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - yet still call yourself a Christian.

"why do people believe evolution?"
Because it is a scientific fact, like gravity.
"say you are a monkey? thats really all you are saying.? "
No, I am a human. Distant predecessors were primates though.
"i find evolution very stupid"
Probably because you know nothing about it. Typically those who disagree with evolution are totally ignorant. I would bet my life-savings you are also completely ignorant.

well look at yourself in the mirror...do you look like a mud golem? or do you look like a monkey?
Evolution is a theory...creationism is a fact which came before darwin existed. That is why it is called a theory of evolution.
it doesnt mean the majority who believes in it makes it a must to believe in... the reason our genes is 99% similar to that of a chipanzee is God's way of saying that 1% is a big difference because of cognitive abilities

No - you don't find evolution stupid. You find it too hard to comprehend. Evolution, dear, doesn't say we're monkeys. If you understood evolution, you'd also understand how species evolve, which by your statement you clearly don't.

Why do you believe in creation? You say you are a mud golem? That's really all you are saying. There's no way that, in 7 days, there are 20,000 square miles of earth and animals that randomly and immediately evolved over a 6,000 year period.

I guess you don't need any help getting that foot further into your mouth.
The only people who are saying we came from monkeys are the poorly educated who don't know how to think for themselves and look things up.
No where does Darwin say we came from monkeys.

uh...we say we are primates, not monkeys...whats wrong with comparing human DNA to frog, primate, or any DNA? and we are evolving...some people are born without wisdom teeth, people are taller on average...
anyway, its no wonder you find evolution very stupid. you don't understand what its all about.
