Evolution: Questions regarding.?

Question

Evolution as it concerns to biology:
In biology, evolution is the change in the inherited characteristics, or traits of a population of organisms. Heritable traits are encoded in the genetic material of an organism (usually DNA); changes in this genetic material (mutation) and the subsequent spread of these changes in the population drives evolution.

concerning Abiogenesis:
Today the term is primarily used to refer to hypotheses about the chemical origin of life, such as from a primordial sea or in the vicinity of hydrothermal vents, and most probably through a number of intermediate steps, such as non-living but self-replicating molecules (biopoiesis). Abiogenesis remains a hypothesis, meaning it is the working assumption for scientists researching how life began.

Additionally, biologists have never claimed that humans evolved from monkeys.

The ? Is the Evolution of monkeys into human beings a theory? no. Thefore arent you basing your beliefs on faith like a christian?

You are welcome to believe whatever you wish but dont try to claim things are facts when the scienticfic community doesnt have proof that apes evolved into humans. They only have evolutional proof about other types of evolutions.
People now days whew.
A theory is based on a set of facts.
There are no facts about monkeys evolving into humans. The only facts are they share a common accessary.
know your stuff as well people sheesh Lol

Answer 1

I think I'm in love with you....

Answer 2

Assuming I understand your somewhat incoherent question, I want you to imagine what it would take to answer it.
1 - We'd have to explain to you what science is and how it works. The reason for this is that you seem to be confusing it with metaphysical naturalism. This is an assumption about reality that I usually attribute to atheists. But in any case, it has nothing to do with how science works.
2 - A course in remedial logic would also be called for. You seem to see some problem with working from hypotheses. From that hang-up you make a disconnected leap to "faith." Do you mean "faith" as in believing that the scientific method can answer scientific questions? Why would the assertion that we did not evolve from monkeys imply anything about "faith like a Christian?" This is not a "non sequitor," it is rather a more mundane "non starter."

In short, you should attempt to address some of this issues - a few courses might suffice. I'm sure if you went to the BIOLOGY/SCIENCE section, people would be glad to suggest the proper reading material.

Answer 3

It is a scientific fact that inherited characteristics or traits of a population changes. Therefor evolution is fact in your definition. For example, humans are taller now then they used to be. Another example would be the TB bacteria.

They theory part is how humans evolved. So accepting evolution is like accepting the Sun. It doesn't take faith, just the ability to accept scientific fact. Accepting the theory of evolution (the human part) doesn't really take faith either. It just means you accept the best theory science has.

Answer 4

Biologists agree that Humans evolved from an ancient species of ape not a monkey (we still are apes). I know evolution is real and I'm a Christian, in fact you may be surprised to learn that many leading Paleontologists are Christian. DNA, fossil evidence and current observations of life have proven evolution exists...Welcome to the real world!

Answer 5

I think the answer is right there for everyone to see unless they chose to ignore it and follow their animal instinct to deny the existence of a very intelligent and complex design going from the smallest particle in your body to the massively huge galactic order.

When people chose to ignore the creator it’s chaos everywhere and science can try to answer what it wants it can never explain how the world we live in was initiated in the first place, they ago as far as a big bang but cannot answer the simple question of who caused the big bang to happen in the first place or why ? They can tell you come from a monkey but they cannot explain why monkeys or any other animal for that matter hasn’t evolve into a humanlike creature or even developed the ability to speak, to feel, to have morals and boundaries or the intelligence and arrogance to make up crap about theories that doesn’t make sense about how he came to be !

They tell you a creator is out of question but when they’re stuck in their answers they just say we don’t know how or why !!
Science would be much more productive and would make much more sense it if accepts one and only one concept, the presence of a creator and sustainer of the universe. If only we accept that everything falls into place and suddenly makes sense !!!

I will finish by quoting one of the most imminent scientist of our time, someone who shaped the very core of modern science, Albert Einstein himself, on his death bed he while trying to write the so called “theory of everything” said to his nurse “God is not hiding anything from us, he only wants us to look harder…” take the hint…

PS: God does not equal church, I will not dictate which faith should be followed or which God is the true God but it’s you duty to search and find out for yourself, just don’t take the easiest option… your parents or your society does not necessarily hold the ultimate truth…

Peace !

Answer 6

Your definition of hypothesis is wrong, a hypothesis is being tested, not assumed. As a biologist, the theory and fossil evidence do in fact tell us that humans and the great apes have a common ancestor. I don't need to believe, I know. It was a valiant effort but fell far short of the mark.

Answer 7

Evolution is one of the strongest scientific theories to date.

What do you mean "biologists have never claimed that humans evolved from monkeys?"
- they DO have a common ancestor.

This science does NOT work on faith unless you really change the definition of faith.


EDIT: OK please go though the evidences presented here:

Explain to us what you think these intermediate species are, and let us know what the hell you're talking about.

Answer 8

Evolution is pretty much a proven. And its been scientifically proven through dna samples that chimpanzees are about 95% related to humans.

And if you noticed some species reproduce faster then others and some reproduce more than others. which means for some species that evolution will be easier and faster than other species. Thats why insects get resistant so fast to pestacides and stuff. they reproduce faster and alot more.

They haven't actually got any dna samples of god and proven that god exists have they? Or have they proven that jesus was able to come back to life after being whipped and physcally torchered all day and left to die on a cross with animals possiblying roaming around looking for a quick easy meal. Its not just a theory like i said its been backed up by facts and experiements. They have never proven any religion to be true with actual facts and experiements. Evolution is not a religion. I dont warship religion. i just accept it because its been proven to me with real evidence. Do you people believen anything you hear. If i told you a bear god moved a mountain and can make thunder and earth quakes would you belive it? or if I told you one person can create 9098403983240942809820390480439843098402398420398427234928374293874234928743298724398247432094329058752094875095247502987523 different forms of life with a countless number of population all over the world in only 1 week when it takes tons of men to just make 1 building in months, would you belive it? Or that there is a supreme being that is always watching you, possibly even when you take a dump or naked in the shower, and he can't die because he is not vulnerable or anything would you believe it if they just told you without showing proof? Anyone can write stories. If people used common sense and simple questions like how did and why then maybe people would see that religions are all fake. You never see other animals warship a religion do you? No never. thats because religion is just a tool to be able to control masses of people and make laws.
I was a catholic babptized and raise dto belive in jesus. I had my communiion and stuff and went to catholic school. I started to make simple questions. How did he create this big world in seven days with literaly countless numbers of animals and variation of types of animals. If god controls the storms how come good people die in the storms and suffer from them? If god made this world why would he leave it to human beings who are obviously incable of managing the earth and disobeyed him when he made them during adam and eve? doesnt make sense at all. If he wanted to leave us this responsibilty wouldnt he just make us more responsible or replace us or magically make this place perfect? even if there is a satan isnt god obviolsy like a million more times more powerful and can easily destroy him? if satan isas strong then why is he hiding from god? How come people are just born sick and how come some babies are born and die right away later? If people are born with original sin, why is it? Its impossible for babies to rape kill or steal from others, they cannot talk and are defenseless or break any laws of god. If we are created in the image of god how come people look so different from each other? wouldnt we all look like god, meaning we all look the same? If we are born in the image of god not literally how come everyone isnt virtuos like god?
How come its that only people who work hard who are strong willed and are smart achieve the most instead of just good loyal people that always obey the laws of god? wouldn't god have the power to control who dies and who doesn't, or revive who dies and who doesnt? If heaven does exists doesnt it ever get over crowded? Does this mean that they would have to send extra people in hell to make room for other people? why do diseases exits? did god intentionally create diseases? If so then why do babies and children die from them? is he killing children and babies? But i thought he was god, the guy that made the 10 commandments about not murdering and stuff. The world doesnt have enough resources to adaquatly support everyone on the world. If there is a supreme being that made this world couldnt he just make more room or add extra resources to the world for everyone to be able to live well off?

You can accuse me of "hurting other peoples feelings" or that im trying to call people dumb. But hey facts are not meant to make people feel better, its to tell people whats real.

Answer 9

The question you might want to consider is whether the word "theory" is used in scientific parlance as it is in norma loquendi.

Answer 10

Yes, actually it is a theory.

There are numerous fossils, physiological, and genetic similarities which suggest common decent.

Answer 11

Yes that is why we invented Pascals wager.
