Going bananas with "monkeys to men" issue???

Question

Evolution did not occur between reptiles and mammals, the notion of fish eventually becoming philosophers is irrelevant.

The apeman supposition falls prey to the same problems: No observations or experiments have ever demonstated the process of human evolution.

Marvin Lubenow, in his book :" Bones of Contention" , points out that known skeltons ( particularly skulls ) either fall into an acceptable diversity of true humans ( e.g. Neanderthals ) or of nonhumans ( e.g. the Australopithecnes ).

The most often touted example of apemen are the extinct Australopithecines ( southern apes ) . Research has shown them to be distinct kinds from the genus Homo. Analysis of the semicircular canals in their ear and the canal that carried the nerve to the tongue has demonstrated this.

Tell me your thoughts. : )

The DNA similarity between apes and people is often grossly exxxxagerated. Genetic differences are actually vast, and all arguments from DNA similarity are known by genetics to be circular. As organic beings we share a great deal of biochemical similarity to organic life - even yeast!

Answer 1

I have seen the light and I concur. Evolution is a lie.

I got lost in the library somewhere.

Fossils have yet to be found, there are many gaping holes in the fossil record that need to be filled. Evolution was thought to be a slow steady process but evidence now shows species can go a while without much change and then experience rapid change which explains why the skulls fall into separate species instead of a line of slightly different skulls. What do you mean evolution did not occur between reptiles and mammals?? Australopithecus are surly hominids and belong to the Genus Homo. Evolution isn't perfect, sometimes answers aren't what many people anticipated they would be. We share dna with other living things, but the sheer high correlation show we are descended from-and still are-apes.

Answer 4

Are you actually reading the answers to your questions?

Of course australopithecines are distinct from homo spp. They are from a different genus. Australopithicus is the genus that afarensis(species) is in. Homo is the genus that sapiens(species) is in.

This is a typical example of creationists using word jargon to confuse people. The average american does not know that Australopithecus and Homo are two genera. They are acting like some creationist discovered that ear canals proved that evolution is bung.

Look at this cladogram to see where in the evolutionary timeline the distinct genera and species of "ape-men" are located.

This is based on the best scientific information we have to date. Things, as always, are subject to be improved, and information will be added as new species are discovered and more fossils are unearthed.

Answer 5

Well, other than the synapsid reptile to mammal transitional fossils, Protoclepsydrops, Clepsydrops, Dimetrodon, and Procynosuchus, there are no transitional fossils. It's convenient that you consider it irrelevant, that since you choose to deny the evidence.

Whether australopithecenes should be classified in the genus Homo or their own genus, they clearly show features common to the other great apes, especially chimps, and man. That is clear evidence in favor of evolution. Thank you for pointing out one of the many detailed anatomic features that are analyzed in the comparison.

Answer 6

Consider this:

A way to liberate the souls that were entangled in matter was created. A physical form became available as a vehicle for the soul on earth. A way became available for souls to enter the earth and experience it as part of their evolutionary/reincarnation cycle. Of the physical forms already existing on earth, a species of anthropoid ape most nearly approached the necessary pattern. Souls descended on these apes - hovering above and about them rather than inhabiting them - and influenced them to move toward a different goal from the simple one they had been pursuing. They came down out of the trees, built fires, made tools, lived in communities, and began to communicate with each other. Eventually they lost their animal look, shed bodily hair, and took on refinements of manner and habit.

The evolution of the human body occurred partly through the soul's influence on the endocrine glands until the ape-man was a three-dimensional objectification of the soul that hovered above it. Then the soul fully descended into the body and earth had a new inhabitant: the homo sapien.

Homo sapiens appeared in five different places on earth at the same time, as the five races. This evolved human is what the Bible refers to as "Adam". When souls incarnated into physical form, it would bring the divine consciousness (i.e., the spirit) in with it. Cayce referred to this divine consciousness as the "Christ Consciousness" or "Buddhahood" or the "superconsciousness". Christ consciousness has little to do with the personality known as Jesus. It means that a person has attained a complete human-divine unity. This human-divine unity has been attained by many people thus far - one such person was Jesus. The problem for the soul entangled in flesh was to overcome the attractions of the earth to the extent that the soul would be as free in the body as out of it. Only when the body was no longer a hindrance to the free express of the soul would the cycle of earth be finished. This is the condition of having a perfect unity of the human with the divine. In a smaller field, this was the evolutionary drama of free will and creation. In a still smaller field, each atom of the physical body is a world in itself where a drama of free will and creation is occurring. The soul brings life into each atom, and each atom is a physical reflection of the soul's pattern.

Answer 7

Monkeys to men works for me. You should see some of the football players who went to my junior high school. And the process of human evolution is something you just don't casually observe in real life or a lab. The idea that God decided to start things off with two hominids in a Garden several thousand years ago just doesn't compute. I'd keep investigating evolution more open-mindedly, were I you. Until then, no more bananas!

Answer 8

Here is just one tiny example of species adaptation. The Inuits are so well adapted to cold weather, you would freeze to death in the same situation almost before they they started shivering. Read about it it's interesting.

Answer 9

I've a question... If it's hard to believe that life spontaneously came into existence of it's own accord and had to be created, where did the "creator" come from???





Still waiting...







Well???

Answer 10

were 98% Chimpanzee dna.were 2% space alien dna.fact, prove me wrong.
They did this so they can have breeders for the children they take. ALL the time.

Answer 11

Is that why the fetus of humans goes through the gill period of development ? And where is my banana?
