How did humans get on Eath?

Question

God or evelution?

Answer 1

If you people knew anything about the anatomy of animals, you would see the gradual progression through the course of evolution.

You have to ask yourself, why does a simple reptile like a lizard have many of the anatomical features that we possess - backbone, two jointed limbs, multi-boned feet (remarkably like our hands), lungs, heart, kidneys, liver.

Then you have to ask youself why the fossil record shows reptiles 200 million years ago, but real human fossils did not appear until the last million. In between, the anatomy gets more and more complex and adaptable, with mammals surpassing reptiles, but maintaining many of the same features.

This is just a simple illustration, but shows there was a progression, and that the template of vertibrates (back-boned animals) has developed from simple ocean bony fish right through to us.

If God simply plonked humans here 6000 years ago, why is there this progression? Why would he make our DNA 98% similar to a chimpanzee - he was making a huge joke with that one, surely!

We are supposedly so special and supposedly in his likeness, so God must also be very apelike. You have to remember that people wrote this nonsense when nobody knew that apes were very much like us, or when looking at apes they refused to see the likeness.

Creationists always answer these conundrums, like why are there millions of fossils at different levels of strata, by saying God is just testing us, or garbage along the same lines. If you corner them, then there's also that old excuse "God moves in mysterious ways".

There may be a God, but if there is, I am sure he isn't such a tricky devil as the creationists portray, especially when they are mogadored by hard science.

Answer 2

All scientific evidence points to evolution , that does not mean that there is or is not a god or that if there were to be such a thing it did not use evolution as a tool in creation. Christians just lack faith and secretly fear that their god really doesn't exist and thus their lives are meaningless and their whole life has been a waste so they see everything as a threat. They need to stop denying science and not be afraid of what they believe.

Answer 3

Answer 6

God

Answer 7

Well, it depends on your point of view, if you are religious then you would say God, but if you want to be scientific, you would probably say Evolution.

I personal am sorta religious, so I say God created us, and Adam and Eve "made" more humans.

Answer 8

God created us

Answer 9

EVOLUTION, obviously.
