Answer 1

my personal opinion is that one chooses to believe in evolution because if there is no God, then there is no accountability to Him

Answer 2

Here we go again with the "ape" thing. Right off the bat, I know that you never read Darwin's book. So where did you get this ape story from ?
Darwin said that at one point of evolution humans may have been ape-like. That is, more hunched over, with longer arms to make searching the ground for food much easier. Nowhere did he ever hint that we passed through an ape stage. Way back, apes and humans probably did have a common ancestor, but the human family developed along one line, humans along another.
Apes are still in the evolution process, like all living things, but they will not evolve into humans.
This idea of monkeys turning into people was a trick of the church to ridicule Darwin's theory. Never trust church leaders. They knew they were lying but that didn't stop them.
Would you rather believe science or the lies of the church ?

Answer 3

We came from a common ancestor as the ape. Got it?

Obviously Adam and Eve were not the only people on the planet. Cain went to Nod where he found a wife. Genesis disproves Genesis.

I will believe actual evidence that can be seen and touched. There is mounds of proof for evolution. Why does evolution have to mean that God did not start it all?

Visit a library sometime. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Answer 4

If we came from apes why do we still have apes?

If we came from apes, and apparently, a long time ago, crustaceans, why are apes and crustaceans still crawling a moving around the earth? The only change that has happened over, supposedly, millions of years, is that they have gotten bigger. All of their body functions and skeletons and organs are the same as what scientists and archaeologists see in the fossils.

There are many problems with the evolutionary theory. It is true, there are records of new species arising, but if it is a new type of fly, the original thing it came from was a fly. Not a horse from a rat. Or a woodpecker from a dragonfly.

The change from the four toed horse to the one toed horse we know now-a-days has been classed as ‘pure fiction’

Answer 5

Evolution doesn't say we came from apes. It says we and apes share a common ancestor. There is proof of evolution... DNA similarities, fossil evidence, examples of the peppered moth and antibiotic-resistant bacteria... the proof that God created man? A sentence in an old book.

Answer 6

Science teaches us what is.
Religion tells us bedtime stories to make us feel better, or nightmares so we do as we're told.

Anything wrong with being an evolutionary result from an ape-like ancestor? (I am tired of people thinking we came from apes. Modern monkeys had an ancestor, and so did modern humans. Those ancestors were related.)

I am the result of a million generations that were born into a harsh world full of predators, with no tools and little help and survived and thrived in it, over and over. That's a heritage that we shouldn't be looking down on.

Answer 7

I'd rather believe the evidence.

Wouldn't it be great if Man were special? Of course.

If God created Man separately from apes, why did he give us the same three color vision, the same inability to synthesize vitamin C, extremely close genetic homology, viral inclusions in the same genetic loci, the same skeletal plan despite the difference in our locomotion, and myriad other overlaps that only make sense due to evolution?

Why must you blind yourself to the facts because you want to believe something contradicted by the evidence?

Answer 8

In that the "theroy" [sic] of evolution has a great deal of evidence in support of it, I have no difficulty in agreeing with it at all.

My question is why you would have any difficulty with believing "you came from Apes."

What problem does that idea pose for you?

If you reject the idea on the basis that "GOD MADE ME, I DIDN'T COME FROM NO MONKEY" as I've seen it expressed here, didn't God also make monkeys? What's the problem?

Answer 9

You should try reading sometime. Darwin never said we came from apes; he said we have a common ancestor. And their is supporting proof (though it is incomplete) for evolution. God is a matter of belief; evolution is matter of scientific discovery. So I don't believe in either of your premises.

Answer 10

I disagree. How many people from the so called ape age that we were supposed to have come from, livied to write about it? How many people witnessed the torture, death and resurrection of Christ and lived to write about it? Myth - I don't think so and when I get a chance, hopefully in the next day or so, I will give the scripture or atleast some of them and the prophecies that have been fullfilled. God made Adam from dirt and breathed life into him. He didn't say that Adam was all furry with a tail. Maybe some of you believe that your ancestors came from apes and you are probably right but mine did not --

Answer 11

I don't believe I came from apes, I know apes and humans have a common ancestor. There is no scientific theory that includes gods.
