If you dont belive in God, and you believe in evulution, Then why arent your parents monkeys?

Question

If your parents are human, you are human. If they were monkeys you are a monkey

Answer 1

I'm trying to decide whether you are a monkey or a fundamentalist Christian. Well, monkeys generally can't type.

Answer 2

Species categories are not that simple. Everyone had different DNA and therefore different. I am not the same as my parents. If you were immortal and had watched evolution, there would be no line between when humans were "monkeys" and "People." It's just like a sunset on a clear night, one side id definitely blue and the other is definitely orange, but there is no one spot where you can say, "There it's blue and one nanometer over it's orange."

Answer 3

Wow. No. Evolution takes millions of years. An example: Probiscus monkies. They have big noses like that because for some reason girl probiscus monkies tend to like big noses. So they choose the monkey with the biggest nose to be the father of thier children. And when the baby monkey is born it's father had a big nose so likely it does too. Which makes it more successful when looking for a mate. Over a long period of time probiscus monkies have evolved to have huge noses because it was a sucessful trait. Now...apply this to humans. The monkies we evolved from needed to be smart to survive. So the smarter monkies had more babies. We evolved to walk upright because this too was an advantage. Those that were good at it had a better chance of surviving and having children. Over vast periods we changed gradually, the sucessful traits gradually grew stronger until we ended up as we are. Obviously it's working so far because we're not extinct yet. And we probably have hit an evolutionary plateau because we are very (almost too) sucessful as we are. Yep.

Answer 4

The theory or EVOLUTION IS BASED ON THEORY not facts dude so just don't worry about it. and no one has proven it.

It came about because some upstart 'educated' man thought to make himself smarter than God.

Next time ask your question this way...

Where in history and when in time did the monkey become man?
Even if it could be proved(which it can't) When did it happen? where do you draw the line? YOU CAN'T!
Why didn't anything else 'evolve' into a highly intelligent creature like humans?
THERE IS SUCH A THING AS ADDAPTING THOUGH. NOT EVOLUTION!

Answer 5

My parents are humans. You need to go back a few more generations to get to the apes -- about 300,000 generations. To get to the monkeys, you'd have to go back millions of generations. Have a nice day. Now give me a banana.

Answer 6

Man did not evolve from monkeys. We evolved from an ape-like hominid that split off from a common ancestor with chimpanzees 7 million years ago. I believe in God, and I believe in Evolution. God created us in his spiritual image, not physical image. God created all of Earth including the natural processes which include Evolution. I have no problem with both, in fact, looked at objectively, they are quite congruent with each other.

Answer 7

Because my parents evlolved from monkeys before.

Answer 8

C'mon, we're not monkeys, we're great apes. We share ~94% of our genome with our closest living relative, the chimpanzee. It's not 99% as originally thought, but who's counting. I'll have the banana daiquiri... http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,183,147186-227206,00.html

Answer 9

Shall we assume that you are indistinguishable from your great-great-great grandparents? And their parents, and their parents' parents?

And if you believe that we all descended from Adam and Eve, that we are therefore all identical to each other?

Now I don't know about you, but I've noticed a little evidence that would lead me to doubt that is the case.

Now for that drink.

Here we come, walkin'
Down the street.
We get the funniest looks from
Ev'ry one we meet.

And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.
