Well, most modern Americans are descended from Europeans, but there are still Europeans around
>if we humans did come from apes, why don’t we just cross >breed human with apes to find out once and for all?
We probably wouldn't be able to cross-breed, but this has nothing to do with whether or not we're related.
And the 1% difference isn't especially important, by the way. The difference between human beings and dolphins (or indeed snakes) is a good deal greater, but we're still related to them.

Darwin never claimed that humans ever came from apes. He did say that at one stage humans probably were "ape like". There was a parallel evolution. Nothing was suggested that apes are on their way to evolving into humans.
It was the trick of the religious group to claim that Darwin said humans came from monkeys. Of course, that's been used over and over by church groups. Even here on Answers, there are many claiming that evolutionists believe humans were once monkeys.
Hearsay is much easier than actually reading the book. Besides it gives those people a chance to show their ignorance.

Sometimes, honestly, it seems like the other way around.
Different apes are different species. Neanderthals died out, and they were human-like. I think we evolved from a specific type of ape maybe? Or we are apes but different-looking and there was a greater purpose for us.
We cannot prove that humans can cross-breed with apes because it's unethical. That's the thing and so I guess we may never find out.

This is one of the longest drawn arguments of evolution. I believe some questions are destined never to be answered and this would be one of those numbered few. Theories are meant to be proven and until a better maxim is ever drawn to disprove or prove this theory then, we can all just either wait for a more plausible answer or continue to survive and see whether any ecological change on this planet would cause us to grow feathers or something else ;) That is evolution. It cannot be summed to occur in less than 15 years, you know. For all we know, changes are taking place now but can only be noted by generations from 3060 as amazing. Sadly, we won't be the ones to find out... hahaha

"3. ok, now evolutionists claimed that eyes, ears, are actually not irreducible complicated. honest adequate. however the attention sight isn't produced by technique of the attention itself, however the concepts. The concepts can not see, that is darkish contained in the cranium, then how come it developed to have optic nerves?" Eyesight is produced by technique of a quantity or engaging components: easy enters the attention, alerts return and forth from the retina to the concepts by way of the optic nerve, and are processed by technique of the seen cortex. For all intents and purposes, that's the concepts this is seeing, and perceiving each and every thing; in a be conscious, you're your concepts. "4. Which developed first, the male or lady? they're many wonders in human replica, inclusive of sperm, the merciless situation for survival of sperms, compatibility of sexual organs, and so on. and can a million/2 shaped sexual organs produced toddlers? otherwise human beings can not stay to tell the story." you're asking this as though adult males and ladies persons are 2 diverse species; evolution is involved on the subject of the diversities that take place for the time of a species' history, adult males and ladies persons do no longer evolve separately. I doubt a million/2-shaped sexual organs can effectively produce toddlers. "5. Why did human beings developed hairlessness? they only retained long hair at various components inclusive of head (hair), arm pit, and genital section." in accordance to the triumphing theory, human beings got here from Africa, and it particularly is extremely warm over there; human beings mandatory to grow to be hairless with a view to stay to tell the story in this sort of warm ecosystem.

First, if Darwin has followers they are not scientists. These people are threats to science and religion.
This exact subject is covered thoroughly in the Origin of Species. I think reading this book online is a good idea.
For me it is much easier to believe that monkeys evolved from men. I believe that God gave us free will and some of us chose to stay in the trees. That man is in ascent and changing accounts for the rest of the change. How can someone not think the world is changing, today 1 in 5 people are Chinese. That is change, killing the American Indians changed the composition of man.

Why are you so against your ape ancestors. As to cross breeding, if you look at ALL the porn sites I'm sure you will find some women who are willing. What's your beef with the Darwinian theory. At lest he didn't say we descended from Cane and Able, two men.

If you don't want to believe it, then don't. Animals evolve in different ways to fill different niches. Why do parrots have crushing beaks, finches have peaking beaks, and hummingbirds have long sucking beaks? Because they wanted to eat different things and evolved differently. And people have mated with apes, where do you think AIDS came from? And zebras and horses aren't related, they just look alike.

Well, I'm no scientist, but I personally think that Darwin was right. I do not however think we should cross breed, and i don't mean just humans. I mean if a wolf wants to breed with a dog, then let them, at least then it'll be of the animal's own will. I don't think we should force them to breed or anything...it's not natural.

God created animals one after each of its kind and Adam & Eve were created in His image. Humans are separate from the animal kingdom. Animals were not given souls to communicate & worship God.
I have never been a believer or considered the idea of monkey mythology (it is ridiculous)....<>< <><
