Why do Creationists think evolution says we came from apes?! Or that it says this is all an accident?

Question

BOTH ARE MISCONCEPTIONS!

Gah!

Evolution is NON-RANDOM - so none of this is an accident.

And apes and humans have a common ancestor. WE didn't come from THEM. They are our cousins. Humans are primates after all.

Answer 1

They have to set up strawmen, so that they can try to save them after they've knocked them down.

Answer 2

Because that is the conclusion that most people come to from the way the evolutionary theory is usually presented. Any suggestion that a mention be made that is is not "all an accident", but is following a design or purpose is violently rejected by most evolutionist.

For most of us Christian, it is not the idea of evolution that is the problem. If that was the process that god used, then that was process. No problem. It is the 'philosophy" that evolution disproves God, disproves the scriptures, makes us only an "evoluted ape", and that everything is "an accident", to which Christians object.

Whay do we have the "misconception"? Because we are told that by evolutionist every day....

Answer 3

Creationists are the believers that all things come from god. Evolutionists are those who believe that a species changes in ways that accommodate the changes in their environment, and is the ultimate survival tool. Humans are in a state of constant evolution. Example: look how much evolution has changed the human species. We are now taller, the brain grew because our skull kept enlarging, we learned to use fire which gave our primitive ancestors one of the most important survival tools in our evolutionary process. These are only a couple of examples of how, we, as a species, evolved for the adaption of the continually changing environment. It is a process which provides all species the best opportunity to avoid extinction

Answer 4

I know.... I know. It's mind boggling. I don't understand either. Well, I can't say I don't understand AT ALL. I know some people are just undereducated or indoctrinated to believe false propaganda. But given the wealth of information available to read on the web, in the libraries, etc etc, it's really their own damn fault once they're all growed up and STILL don't know what the hell is going on.

Answer 5

They do? The media keeps pounding into our heads that the "experts" are tracking our ancestry back to apes. Most all historical programs now refer to evolution instead of creation.

I wonder why these "expert" cannot find the missing link between apes and humans. Perhaps it is because it isn't there. They can go back millions of years and find "Lucy" but cannot go back 5 or 6 thousand years and find the "missing link". Strange, isn't it? Also very sad. Pops

Answer 6

You can best answer your confusion by asking yourself one basic question. Is reality delusion, or delusion "reality?" Does delusion leave "evidence?" No. Reality, "does." As much as religions SEEK to prove themselves, and prove the stance on creation, where are all their FACTS for EVIDENCE? Only "one" faith left evidences which can not be DENIED, yet in the modern world it is referred to as "mythology." MYTHOLOGY doesn't build structures which even the most intelligent on earth have no explaination for. The Pyramids of Giza. Go to museums and you SEE, evidences of EVOLUTION and it creatures including "us." Judaism, of which branches out into christianity and Islam, STILL to this day has EXCUSES for why much of what they proclaim to have existed in their faith, YET emmerses peoples throughout the world in their "delusions." Why? Because reality only dictates and PROVES that which is real and FINITE while DELUSION has an endless supply of "facts" ALL within the minds of those who CONCEIVE them.............

Answer 7

Willful denial or bad education.

Edit: Marks Queen, no it doesn't. Go learn what it actually says and come back. You have no one to blame for your ignorance but yourself if you're unwilling to become educated.

Answer 8

I see "atheists" post the same misconceptions

Answer 9

Atheists theme song;

I used to be an ameba, living life completely free.

Then I became a fish, swimming in the sea.

Then I was monkey, hanging from a tree,

And now, I'm a doctor with a Ph. D.!

Answer 10

because creationists are ignorant and only believe what they want to believe, whether it's the truth or not
