She wants to know, for those who do not believe in God, do you ever think about how we were made and all the parts of our body?
(She is a smart one she is!) hehe. She is almost 9 years old.

My daughter is smart enough to know that God made us....she thinks about the details, how our eyes are designed...she knows the Lord and I am so thankful and blessed to have a daughter so smart.
She does not understand why those who do not believe in God, would think we came from monkeys.

She IS smart! Holy mackinole. Taking God out of the equation I'd have to agree with the first contributor. Cellular development and natural selection. A very long and involved process, which really has to make you wonder where the cells came from in the first place. Life began somehow. It's flipping amazing no matter which way you look at it and we just take it all for granted.
Now ... what are you going to do about this smart little girl of yours?

Well,we don't know where and how life started.I'm against organized religion because it puts up cardboard explanations.I put the blame on some scientists too for their dogmatic way of thinking.It is something to wonder about,but it's something we don't know...at least yet.
Edit:You say your daughter's smart because she says we didn't come from monkeys,but you miss the whole concept.Evolution doesn't say we came from monkeys,but ape-like characters.We didn't just turn into humans either.It was over long periods of time.The same way we grow as children to adults.You're giving no explanation for your answer.Read a book.

I myself don't get why people don't believe in God. I mean as complex as we humans are with the thoughts we have, the feelings it's just hard to believe that Evolution or the Big Bang could make us like that. My husband swears on some level that people have to believe in a higher power, he says its ignorant to not think there is a higher power and a lot of theories of Natural Selection and Evolution have been disproved over and over again. Your daughter is smart...tell her God loves her!

Of course atheists think about those things. Some of us even get paid quite a lot of money to think about biochemistry, embryology, and evolutionary dynamics. There are many ways to think about how the world and every living creature in it came to be. God is one very old-fashioned way of thinking about these questions.
Only ignorant Christians believe that atheists think we all came from monkeys. Real atheists think this makes Christians look pretty stupid.

Hallelujah- "the little children will lead them". May all believe as your daughter does- there is only divine design that could create the many different parts of the human body- good question too about evolution and monkeys evolving into humans- she is the smart one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No one said we came from monkeys, Miss Information. Tell her to take a biology course, it will explain it all.
I do not think about how I was "made" as envisioning my parents in the act is more than I can handle.

Doe she know where man came from, the dust. In another scripture is likened to clay, that human were shaped out of clay.
I seen a cool news clip with good quality footage of inside of ah, I think, dolphins that the babies learn how to swim in the belly.

We are made of atoms, which bond with other atoms to create molecules. These molecules group together to form DNA, cellular tissue, blood, organs, and everything else organic. These materials all function together to power a body, which is, in essence, what we are.
How did this occur? Gravity, along with other natural laws of physics, encouraged heavy materials (like protons and neutrons) to attract each other. This movement and attraction created energy, magnetism, and charge. The negative charges of electrons whizzing past the nucleus attracted other atoms with complimentary charges.
This is a much less abstract concept than "God created you." "From what?" "His imagination." "Why?" "He wanted to" "So who created Him?" "He did." .... Huh?

Well at 9 she would be in forth grade. They talk about evolution about a year or two later. Tell her to pay attention. If she is smart, they will explain it quite well.
Don't want her asking "monkey" questions in a few years so that we all know she wasn't listening.
