My daughter wants to ask another question?

Question

She wants to know for those who believe in evolution--have you ever been to the zoo and have you actually seen a monkey start turning into a human?

She is almost 9 years old.

Who said I homeschool?
I do not homeschool---I do not have the patience unfortunately, we are BLESSED to have her go to a christian school!!!!

amen busyliz!

Answer 1

Makes you wonder how monkeys evolved into humans millions of years ago and don't evolve still yet today. It is God's way of showing that evolution is a handful of crap. It took more than a mixture of dirts and the big bang theory to create the intelligent design of a human body with the functions and how the body's organs are placed properly to work.

God is Almighty and the Creator!!

Answer 2

No, but I've seen humans whom I've thought were doing pretty well at devolving. But that's more of a cultural/societal observation than a biological phenomenon.

Of course, to subscribe to evolution, one must also understand that supposedly it does not happen with any rapidity. Rather, it is a slow process over millions of years. There again, the millions of years argument flies in the face of creationism from the standpoint that there is sufficient evidence to suggest that the Earth is not more than 10-20,000 years old. (I wrote a paper on this in college.) If evolution is still underway, why have we not theorized as to what humans shall become and a rough time frame for that? Sure, our educations and understanding of our surroundings are improving, but that's not resulting in any genetic changes per se. Are humans the epitome of evolution? I suspect that evolutionists would argue against that conclusion. Why did evolution stop and when? Quite frankly, with ample reading of early evolution texts, even Darwin was not convinced of his theory's validity. (That's been ignored for the past 40 years.) If global warming is real, should the human species - among others - not be evolving and adapting to this impending global crisis? If not, does that negate evolution or global warming or both?

But the short answer to your child's question is: no.

Answer 3

Sorry. I have'nt seen any evolutions going on anywhere. So, why is it that there are different looking human beings for instance? Seems to me that life has the ability to make adaptations without causing any major changes. Such as, why are there black people and white people? You can tell your daughter that white people are people that have adapted to cold cloudy climates in places like Northern Europe, where there sun starved skins became lighter to help absorb more UV light for the production of Vitamin D. As for black people, this is an adaptation from living in hot desert climates where the skin adapted itself to limit the absorption of UV light by creating lots of melanin thus darkening the skin. The same arguments can be said about eye colors. Yet still we are all humans and can mix and reproduce offspring.
So, did life evolve from simpler forms? Scientists find a few old bones and make these fantastic claims, yet there is also evidence of a sudden explosion of life at a time many millions of years ago when there was hardly any life. Why the explosion of life? Could it be a hand at creation? Most likely, life has maintained it's common forms from that time onward.
No one has ever proven evolution or witnessed it. Most likely, we were created. For what purpose remains to be seen.

Answer 4

Being that she is nine, this counter question might be one she would want to use on the next evolutionist.

If we were created from a single cell, and needed no nurturing or caring for as we grew and evolved.

Why would it be to our advantage to somehow stop recreating on our own and have to find another of our own kind , but of the opposite sex in order to recreate.

Also , how would it be to our advantage to somehow over time, create a need to recreate as babies, unable to care for ourselves and thus need someone else to take care of us until we were developed enough to do it ourselves.

All of this is a huge flaw in any evolutionary theory, no matter which one someone states is true. Make them go back to the beginning of their theory, do not let them start in the middle of it.

Answer 5

No, but I have been to the zoo and seen lots of humans acting like monkeys.

Answer 6

I was at the health spa in the heat room and it had an all glass front.and these girls were being shown thru and they just stood there looking at me sweating, and i got up and acted like an ape,and scratched by behind and well they went on, so monkeys do act like humans,sometimes.Yes, and humans do act like apes, we have 98% chimp DNA in us i read.were humans not apes,were primates.thats 98% chimpanzee.

Answer 7

No I havent but humans act like monkeys.

Answer 8

Not unless the zoo doubled as a science labratory where they sped up the evolutionary process from stem cells.

Her question is interesting enough to write about, however.

Answer 9

No, but I've seen plenty of humans acting like monkeys...

Answer 10

I've seen many humans become monkeys. They're called politicians.

BTW, If you or your daughter really believe that monkeys can turn into humans, I recommend taking a good biology course, not one offered by so-called "creation scientists".
