Are human beings creatures or by-products of evolution?

Question

Religions teach us the creation as the origin of the human beings and science has been trying to prove as the result of the evlolution through the findings of various human like skeletons in different palces, belonging to different ages. Will the science succeed to prove the evolution theory? Why not we conclude that the skeletons which claimed to be close to the human beings and connecting chain between human bings ad gorrila or varaguntan be of another spicies which is extict? There have been thousansd of speiecs which have been extict. Why not we concludse with these findings that there would have been another spicies between human being and monkey family which has been lost? Why science should waste time and energy on this issue?

Answer 1

We are creatures that are bi-products of evolution. There have been plenty of intermediate species such as Australopithecines and Paranthropuses (pi?). The presence of these intermediate species helps to prove evolution.

Answer 2

If you read my answer carefully then you will not ask this question again. In the end you said why science should waste time and energy on this issue. Why we are wasting our time asking about this issue then? Its all because of curiousity in human's mind. Human being won't stop until they find out the ultimate truth but they won't succeed I am sure. Because we can't go back to see the beginning the truth on our own. Only we can guess and that won't satisfy curiousity completely. I will try my best to say about creatures and by products. Creature means created by and by product means produced from other product. Now both these seems to have unending previous link. In first place the evolution of the word evolution is a wrong hypothesis, whoever started it keep on confusing people as evolution of evolution of evolution of evolution of...and reach to no starting point. It is enough only to know that creatures have live element and some freedom to behave while products have not. There are two types of energy, potential and kinetic (active and non active). Two catagories of living being, human and rest of all. Human being can think, plan and live accordingly. Human being can make this natural gifted world more and more beautiful and systematic for their enjoyable peaceful life. So this is the prime subject to think and act and not to waste time in wrong hypothesis. That is all. Now don't waste your and others time because it damages human life and goal. Want to be a damager or emerger?

Answer 3

If human are by-products of evolution, then why should now-a-days any species evolute from another. For a known 100 years and more there is no evolution occur. This is an unconcluded question. But with science it should be found out one day. At that time this will be a mega amazing issue. If it is to be said wasting time, then in this world no revolution would be occured. Think always why?

Answer 4

It is possible that neither present day evolutionists nor present day creationists will get what they want. In Genesis the Bible says a very strange thing which people just ignore or overlook. It says that modern animals were created AFTER THEIR KIND.

What does created AFTER THEIR KIND mean? It is possible that it means that something was built using the blueprint or plans from something that existed before. Is it possible that the modern tiger was created using the DNA structure of the sabre tooth tiger as a starting point? Was modern man also created AFTER THEIR KIND physically, and then given also the IMAGE OF GOD spiritually?

Does this argument say that though God created man, there was absolutely no evolution involved? No, it says that man was created using the DNA structure of previous men as a starting point. It looks like Genetic Engineering.

The above is stated to let everyone know that there are other theories about creation out there also, that are not being discussed.

Answer 5

creation mostly based on belief and expectation.evolution based on science which needs some basis.so lets talk based on scientific basis. human beings are not creatures as, if so after their creation we must see more advanced living (don't say robots.terminators we created them)animals by this time.we have seen so many animals with less IQ and with nearer genetic print or at least matching in some points so we are evolved from them but not by products.we are best products.coming to why science waste energy and money on this means a very good example is as follows.lets take diabetes and wonder drug insulin which is like panacea for millions of people.do know from where it made initially, from pig.as scientists did research and found that pancreatic genes producing insulin in pig has some similarity to that of human and is it because of their effort we are enjoying.so it is not just finding a connecting link and what is evolution but there are so many things which would be useful to mankind.of course there may be some waste of energy and money but cost benefit makes it more sense isn't it?

Answer 6

Good question dear... One thing is clear.... All Human beings and all beings.. are the creation of Nature that we call as AllMighty God. Some time we also feel the Darvin's theory of evolution may be true when we see Gorillas... Even then the fact remains that we are creation of God. Nature has brought many surprises. Changes did take place and are taking place. May be as u put it... those skeletons may be of entirely other species.
Human brain is curious and that is the reason why science is searching to know the truth ..be it useful or not. Let us see how
man ...I mean human beings change into someother form during coming days and years.... although animal instict is alive in them.

Answer 7

If you feel that we should be stop all research on evolution and accept your simplistic theory that some other species which are extinct were in existence then and are now lost, then there is no need for science and the scientists. For your hypothesis, to be true, there should be some basis. Darwin's theory is very comprehensive and some very illuminating studies by him and other scientists are available. You want to throw them out, because it comes into conflict with your religious belief. Why do not you throw out your religious belief, which is irrational? I am a religious person myself. For me, there is no conflict between my religious faith and theory of evolution. My religion has taught me that the entire creation and non-creation follows a cycle of yugas. In Hindu theology, a detailed sequence of time and cyclical sequence of creation and dormancy is mentioned. In Creation, various beings evolve. Man is a higher living being, who has evolved with superior intelligence. In the Ramayana period which is about 1,7 million years old, characters from various beings appear and there had been certain social interactions among them. I do not consider them as mere fictions. The Bhagavatam which narrates the different avatars of Lord Vishnu shows the different avatars not as human but each belonging to different species of living beings. It is clearly indicative of the evolution of life in the planet.

Answer 8

Evolution is the right word that applies and suits to both religions and science. You get the right answer in whichever side you look from with proper perspective.

True spiritual leaders atleast in India , say that all started from nothing (vacuum/space) and in the final stage of the evolution, we the human beings are in the process of returning to the same 'space' from where we started off.

To elaborate, no one needs to waste time and energy. The 'Divine Evolution' will take care of everything without we being aware of it. The process of enlightment or joining the very starting point by the human beings is already on. Everyone will be in one stage or other in refinement (enlightment), depending on 'karma' and they reach the starting point in the same order of enlightment and none will be left behind at the end. That is, those, for example, in the advanced stage of spiritual development will be reaching the 'space' ahead of others who may have started their spiritual journey recently and those who are yet to wind up the materialistic life and take up the spiritual path.

Only spiritually inclined persons can only appreciate this 'TRUTH'. May All be Blessed by the DIVINE.

Answer 9

If you talk about science it proves that human beings are by products of evolution but as a person if you ask me then i would say that human being is not a by-product , they are of course the creature created by god. Of course Science is correct but why should we consider this in deciding the history of human, what is the importance of that.The important thing is that what we are today because it is the today's human who can work for a cause.
I think result is more important than the initials.

Answer 10

Human beings are definitely Not Creatures or by-products of evolution in whatever subject be it human sciences, religious factions or just beliefs of sorts, one can be sure that when Adam and Eve have already been declared as the first man and woman to be GOD's Creation then we must come to terms and believe that we are come from a supernatural Creator who ruled heaven and earth and we have been given a body and soul that has made us fully ALIVE and Physcially Strong in our body that holds a bank called the heart from which the blood reaches to each limb and flesh that KEEPS OUR BODY WANTING MORE.-Ayesha Ahmed

Answer 11

Since religion is the product of human thought and social practice, we should not compare and contrast with science and its theory of evolution. Certainly science preceds any religion.
I am also forced to believe that there must be a missing link in between the families of monkey and human being.
