Does the theory of evolution really stand by this?

Monkeys are not our ancestors, neither are the living apes. Infact, we share a common ancestor with monkeys and apes, which would make them more like cousins.

The process of evolution is extremely slow. Humans have developed forms of expression only in the past few thousand years, so its pretty much impossible that we would remember such an ancestor.

you're misinformed about what evolution skill. it truly isn't any longer what it is about. people did not evolve from monkeys, and monkeys do not grow to be people. it truly is ridiculous. Evolution works like this: even as a clean existence is created, it isn't in additional than a number of circumstances an exact replica of its ancestors. It has replaced extremely. If those variations make existence not uncomplicated for the recent organism, it's going to in all likelihood finally end up demise. If the variations tutor to be functional to the recent organism, then it gained't die, and it is going to get a probability to pass those variations on to its children. After many, many, many generations of small variations gathering, ultimately you get a clean species. it is worth stating that when you're religious, there is no longer some thing incorrect with announcing that God made people, through the technique of evolution. there is no conflict.

I agree with the few who got it right. The monkeys are our cousins and not our ancestors. Evolution proceeds one way, natural selection keeps into consideration, the then present environmental conditions. As evolution progressed, the complexity of orgainsms increased so there is no way backwards. In fact, you do not even find Bacteria (the simplest organism) growing backwards into Archaebacteria or Cyanobacteria. It happens a bit like car models, you only find them getting sleeker and better (for our requirements) and not regressing back to the earlier used bulky and fuel guzzling engines.

(It's apes not monkeys)We did evolve just like a few other animals. We aren't the only species that have evolved.

Evolution is not a 2 day event. It doesn't take place overnight.
Evolution as change over time. It is also a development. It is a particular group of organisms that have descended from a common ancestor.

Hope I helped! Good question by the way!

its apes not monkeys

Think of a highschool. There are cliques or groups like jocks, nerds, etc. There are also people in between. In evolution the in-between people sometimes die out over hundreds of thousands of years. Its like the humans are the nerds and the apes the jocks. People in between have to choose one or another, they can't be both.

Anyway, there really are "in between" species all over the place. Look at all the variety of birds, fish, insects, etc. If evolution isn't how life came about then what is? Evolution is the method by which God created life. When lightning strikes out of nowhere and kills someone, you can say that that was God's action. It was also science though. You see, God works through science. Everything that God does is through science and the laws of math.

So if God created life through some other method than evolution, then what would it be? God didn't just snap his fingers make a big flash and suddenly there was just life everywhere. There had to have been some method by which God created life.

Living great apes include humans, chimps, gorillas and orangutans. The group is thought to have split from the lesser apes, such as gibbons and siamangs, about 14 million to 16 million years ago.


But if you are a creationist, there is nothing that is going to convince you of evolution, nor can you convince someone who accepts evolution to abandon it.

it is due to the process of evolution. Dear, evolution takes millions of year to give any result. None of the human is too old to observe in its life.

--This monkey business, is one of the greatest shams ever concocted by the monkey brain(meaning one who thinks like a monkey)--sorry for my frankness, but it is indeed funny & insulting to anyones intelligence--It is amazing how many PHD'S choose to have such gray cells of an ape. Please note:
*** ce chap. 7 p. 85 pars. 6-8 “Ape-Men”—What Were They? ***

--The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists informs us: “The early theories of human evolution are really very odd, if one stops to look at them. David Pilbeam has described the early theories as ‘fossil-free.’ That is, here were theories about human evolution that one would think would require some fossil evidence, but in fact there were either so few fossils that they exerted no influence on the theory, or there were no fossils at all. So between man’s supposed closest relatives and the early human fossils, there was only the imagination of nineteenth century scientists.”

--After more than a century of searching, how much fossil evidence is there of “ape-men”? Richard Leakey stated: “Those working in this field have so little evidence upon which to base their conclusions that it is necessary for them frequently to change their conclusions.”6 New Scientist commented: “Judged by the amount of evidence upon which it is based, the study of fossil man hardly deserves to be more than a sub-discipline of palaeontology or anthropology. . . . the collection is so tantalisingly incomplete, and the specimens themselves often so fragmentary and inconclusive.”7

--Similarly, the book Origins admits: “As we move farther along the path of evolution towards humans the going becomes distinctly uncertain, again owing to the paucity of fossil evidence.”8 Science magazine adds: “The primary scientific evidence is a pitifully small array of bones from which to construct man’s evolutionary history. One anthropologist has compared the task to that of reconstructing the plot of War and Peace with 13 randomly selected pages.”9

--Science Digest speaks of “the lack of a missing link to explain the relatively sudden appearance of modern man.”15 Newsweek observed: “The missing link between man and the apes . . . is merely the most glamorous of a whole hierarchy of phantom creatures. In the fossil record, missing links are the rule.”16

----As for the amount of bones that they have claimed were enormous in number , please note the actuality:

--Science Digest: “The remarkable fact is that all the physical evidence we have for human evolution can still be placed, with room to spare, inside a single coffin! . . . Modern apes, for instance, seem to have sprung out of nowhere. They have no yesterday, no fossil record. And the true origin of modern humans—of upright, naked, toolmaking, big-brained beings—is, if we are to be honest with ourselves, an equally mysterious matter.”

--To put more nails in the coffin, please note the conclusion that many a scientist are making:

In a book review of The Myths of Human Evolution written by evolutionists Niles Eldredge and Ian Tattersall, Discover magazine observed that the authors eliminated any evolutionary family tree. Why? After noting that “the links that make up the ancestry of the human species can only be guessed at,” this publication stated: “Eldredge and Tattersall insist that man searches for his ancestry in vain. . . . If the evidence were there, they contend, ‘one could confidently expect that as more hominid fossils were found the story of human evolution would become clearer. Whereas, if anything, the opposite has occurred"

--There are many hoaxes of human evolution, that indeed will continue to be revealed as the many of ape-ancestry, similar to the hoax concocted by the 2 con artist tailors --in the fairy-tale "The Emperors New Cloths"

No! Monkies are NOT our ancestors. We are decendents of Adam and Eve (bpu them). Monkies are God's (swt) creature like any onther HE creatured on the earth.

evolution is a long process, and it is known that we share about 97% of genetic material with APES. i get the feeling that you are a creationist,s if you are please give any data apart from the bible which supports your own theory.
