Answer 2

I thought well it certainly makes more sense than someone creating the world in 7 days but it still doesn't make sense to me because of the time line. There would have had to be a huge metomorphasis somewhere between the dinosaurs and the first human form. Still doesn't wash for me. I think part of its true but we are still missing the fundamental missing link..........give me that and I am sold. I think I can even believe that some humanoid type species was a lonely dude and found an ape, at least that makes sense. That I could believe, it wouldnt be the first time someone practiced "beastiality.". Now I have gone and done it, imagine people believing that our ancestor was a raped ape.

Answer 3

Monkeys still exist so their is no question. Evolution has already been proven wrong by the scientists. Read the Books Forbidden Archeology, and the Hidden History of the Human Race by Michael A. Cremo. Their are heaps of archaeological findings that man was way more intelligent even millions of years ago and they didn't look like apes or cavemen. It is in complete alignment with the Vedic knowledge which came with the whole creation From God.

Answer 4

My thought was - Wow - incredible. This is so perfect. It makes complete sense. That was when i was about 9. Now that I am a lot older I haven't changed my mind and marvel at the new discoveries - especially the genetic and mitochondrial DNA technology that has come about - and fits within the model proposed before it was even being used.

Answer 5

I was always very impressed by the whole process. I think I was in 6th or 7th grade when I was properly taught about it, and I'm glad that I was, it is really an amazing thing to consider. Then I was bombarded by religious education teachers, church leaders, and other devout Christian in my life telling me to "think about what might have really happened" (< one of my CCD teachers, no, not kidding) I couldn't understand how it could be refuted. "But my science teacher has actual dinosaur footprint fossils!" I thought. That was when I really began to study the topic more thoroughly, and gain the knowledge and courage it took for me to refuse religion and stories that I will never be able to prove. Good question.

Answer 6

Life

Answer 7

another attempt humans make to try to reason with the world around them.... Evolution is a religion if that's how you BELIEVE things happend..... personally i don't we are a variation of an ape..... irreducible complexity.... explains a lot. God created everything, do you really think all if this could simply just "happen" .... oh wait Evolutionist believe it "just happend" over the process of millions if years. lol, that's stupid.

Answer 8

honestly i was quite young but i thought the whole genesis was far fetched from the beginning. so i guess it was relief. the whole seven days to make us made the world feel to unstable. besides evolution didn't exclude a creator it made him sound smart, plausible, less like an easter bunny more like aristotle. and yes i knew about aristotle when i found out about evolution, old library book sale best dollar i ever spent.

Answer 9

What I don't understand about evolution is that if we were all suppose to evolve from apes, monkeys, etc., why are there still apes today? May God BLess U.

Answer 10

I never believed it because I could not see how something that supposedly came from something as smart as an ape could have gotten as stupid as people are.
