1) Actually, evolutionists believe we are related to apes, not monkeys.
2) Some evolutionists believe we evolved from primmordial ooze.
3) No, I do not believe in evolution. How can intelligent man not have an intelligent designer? Even the iPod had an intelligent designer, human beings.

This has been the ultimate question for thealogians of both the Sciences and Religion ,since Darwins conception of it .It ran head long into the fury of the Church blasting it as Heiracy , and branding Darwin as a marked man . He had many death threats after the realease of his theory , from religous , God fearing folk who where willing to break a commandment in his name . Do I beleive in the 6 day creation ... No why ? being a person of a reasonable educational , well above the standards available in the time of the conception of the Bible , I am not so taken in by storytellers earning a living in the market place . We also have to remember to many , Genesis is merely a theory .
Darwin did show that species intermix , he did show this from Skeletal remains and fossils . That same or alike species had evolved , and that sometimes well beyond their original forms. As for instance most of the birds we see around us today , are actually decendants of the Dinosaur . This is undisputable fact proven by many scientific discoveries over the last millenia , so why do people still call his paper a theory. And one must also remember the DNA may not be so different from then , as it was possibly only one species of Ape that did indeed evolve . look at the differences in the Ape populations now , surely it is not inconcievable that one of them may be our ancestors.
Ah but to accept that brings the religous theory of creation into dissrepute so therefore it will never be resolved , well not untill one or the other fades away . And with Church attendances the numbers that they are and the world in its present state not too far away ? .

Have you ever read anything about evolution not from a creation website or book? Do you understand the definition of a theory in science? Have you ever taken a course in logic or even been exposed to it? Every * on your list is absolutely false, and what's worse it that your arguments are bad even for a creationist. Most of them don't make any sense or have any logic to them.
First question: If a person loses their hand, is this loss passed on to their children? Or better yet will their children inherit the parents increased skill/dexterity on the hand not lost? Do blind mothers have kids that see? You say millions of species never changed. I ask you in all seriousness to name at least 100. This is a small number, how about 10. I need very good evidence, no changes at all, even a change in the length of the forearm or a finger or a tooth or a single basepair in the DNA will be counted as a change. Come on, how about 1 species. I dare you.

Errors:
1. Humans did not evolve from monkeys.
2. Creation is not science.
3. Many consider Evolution fact. It's never been disproved by any other scientific hypothesis ot theory.
4. Evolution means evolving, adapting to changes in the environment.
5. There are many species that have the same chromosome number.
6. You don't understand Evolution.
7. Species aren't "engineered". They evolved.
8. Many species have changed. Including man.
9. Humans are animals. We share 98% of the DNA of higher primates.
10. You are annoying everyone.

You're correct, evolution is a theory - but it's one which has evidence to support it (such as micro-evolution and natural selection).
Creation is not a fact. It is a fairy story created in a time when science was primitive, and people's lives were ruled by the belief in an omnipitent being. A theory has evidence to support it, and can be tested. Creation has neither.
Each species does not have a unique number of chromosomes. Think about the amount of species and sub-species that are out there - millions. How can they all possibly have different chromosome numbers?
I refer you to a talk by Ken Miller, who gave evidence regarding teaching ID theory along with evolution. He gave one of the best pieces of evidence supporting evolution yet...
Apes have one more chromosome pair than humans. They wondered, why is this? Why would we just lose one pair, if we DID come from apes? Well, they looked a little closer - and discovered that we DIDN'T lose them. Our chromosome two pair is actually two pairs of ape chromosome fused together. They are identical - even to the point where you can see the telomeres in the MIDDLE of our chromosome two.
In the sources I have included: a) YouTube video of the main chromosome point by Ken Miller, b) Complete lecture on YouTube, c) Definition of telomeres, just in case you don't know what they are
Conclusion: Try reading a few scientific journals rather than the Bible.

Oh great, another idiot armchair conspiracy theorist who thinks he can debunk hundreds of years of biological research in one silly internet post.
1) Evolution is both a theory and fact. The two are not mutually exclusive categories. You obviously are clueless as to what "theory" means in science. It does not mean "a guess"; that's what the term "hypothesis" is used for. Read this:
http://talkorigins.org/faqs/evolution-fact.html
2) Define "creation". And "logic fact" for that matter.
3) Not in biology, which like any science needs to use much more precise definitions.
4-5) Your point?
6) These adaptations (which are not all entirely true) have nothing to do with evolution, as they have nothing to do with heredity. At least not in the immediate sense, that is.
7) You've obviously never studied biology.
8) If "u" believe that evolution proposes "man came from monkeys', then you obviously haven't done the most mundane minimal study of evolution. In fact, DNA gives good evidence of humans having a common ancestor from other primates.
Funny that another person brought up the iPod as an argument for intelligent design. The iPod wasn't this 100% original creation that came overnight. The current model was created after older models, which was created after mp3s were already in use, also after touch-sensitive interfaces had long been created, and was modeled after other portable players that go back to the Sony walkman, which is a smaller version of a boombox with a pair of large headphones, which was designed from older audio equipment. Similarly, humans weren't put together overnight; we're byproduct of many years of other species getting slight modifactions and passing on those modifications to their offspring.

Here we go again. Please explain to me why people were created on different continents, just so they could be found and slaughtered by weapons and disease. Doesn't sound too intelligent to me. It also lacks logical thought. Wouldn't an intelligent designed have created a more harmonious human being, so that we could all share in the knowledge of his/her design?
You suggest I compare my DNA to that of a monkey. If I compared it to an ape, say a chimpanzee, I would be about 99% compatible. Now that makes me (and you) an ape. It also makes me 99% right, and you 99% wrong.
Go figure.
You might well purport to tell me what I should be thinking evolution actually means. But that would be ridiculous, I know what evolution is; just as surely as you do not know what it is.
I would agree with you on one point however, a person adapting to their environment such as you claim, by having thickening feet when walking barefoot, is in fact, an adaptive change which would give him/her an advantage over someone who has thinner skin or whose skin does not thicken. Many parasites enter through the skin of the feet. Skin thickness, say callous forming, is genetically determined, and would be passed on to future generations. In this way, over a long period of time, feet skin would thicken.
Well done, you have stumbled across a good example of adaptive change. I wonder if, subconsciously, you are ready to understand evolution.

how do you know that millions of species have not changed? a genus can have many species. each is suited best for the area that it lives in. to belong to the same genus a group of species must have similarities that unite them. one species does not become another previously existent species. as far as what the word evolution means, it means to grow in complexity as well as to change physically. I do not believe that I originated from a monkey. i originate form something far more common like photosynthetic bacteria that were alive approximate 4 billion years ago. how can all the evidence that points to evolution be denied? it has been shown that under the right conditions amino acids, RNA, simple sugars, and other molecules that constitute life will arise from elements found on primitive Earth. all that is needed is carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, an energy source and time. why isn't there life on other planets? temperature and radiation make it hard for life to be maintained. besides, there probably is life.

You are severely confused in terms of the definition of natural selection and speciation. The theory of evolution CERTAINLY deals with the development of new species. I suggest:
1. You attempt to improve your grasp of the English language before posting again
2. Try to formulate an actual question as opposed to an idiotic list of ignorant statements
3. Read up on fundamental biological principals so you don't look like an *** next time you post

Defintely not.
Though you don't put forward a very cogent case for creation.
The word evolution has many meanings. Some people use it to mean little more than change in population. For example peppered moths are cited as evolution, when it was simply populations of pale and dark moths changing over time.
It is also used to mean natural selection - such as with Darwin's finches in Galapagos.
Both of these kinds of changes are observed and are factual.
However, many people then switch the maening of the word, and claim that Natural Selection plus lots of time can give goo-to-you evolution. This is an unboserved hypothesis.
If true, it would require the addition of lots of new genetic information. The cliam is that this is provided by mutations. But all observed mutations are either information neutral or result in the loss of information.
Evolution can be easily refuted using the evidence, logic and science.

You should study how evolution works. It's clear from your question that you don't really understand it.
Follow the links that I put under "Sources" to learn more about it.
Evolution is a theory, but one of the best confirmed scientific theories in existence.
"Creation" is a myth.
