If humans were evolved from monkeys/gorllias, then why are there still monkeys and gorillas roaming the Earth today and why arent they humans....I always wanted to know this...please...anyone with an educated answer will be greatly apprecaited...Thank you all in advance...:)

The introduction to Genesis and to the whole Bible ascribes everything to the living God, creating, making, acting, moving, and speaking. There is no room for evolution without a flat denial of Divine revelation. One must be true the other false. All of God’s works are good, great, wondrous, and perfect.
Man starts from nothing. He begins in helplessness, ignorance, and inexperience. All his works, therefore, proceed on the principle of evolution. This principle is only seen in human affairs: from the hut to the palace; from the canoe to the ocean liner; from the spade to the plowshare to machines. But the birds build their nests today as at the beginning. There is growth and development within man, but no passing, change, or evolution out from one into another.
For this theory or fallacy of evolution to be true there would be evident stages of evolution today. You would be able to find species in many stages of evolution in nature right now. For this theory or fallacy of evolution to be true there would be no God. And that’s exactly what evolutionists believe and are trying prove. The evolutionist bases his or her conclusions on human assumptions and reasoning, instead of on the documentary evidence of the manuscripts.

humans have not evolved from present day monkeys/gorillas. somewhere, way back in the past, we had a common ancestor. some members of the ancestral group became monkeys/apes, others became humans. furthermore, evolutionary theory does not rule out some members of a species evolving into a new species while the others remain the same. if species A evolves from species B that does NOT mean that species B has to completely disappear.

Nowhere does evolutionary teaching state that every member of a species a species evolve in the same way. In fact, it states quite the opposite.
Apple maggots are a good example. Apple maggots evolved very recently (after white people arrived in the U.S.), from hawthorn flies. Hawthorn flies still exist. However, because the two populations ceased to interbreed due to one breeding on hawthorn trees and one on apple trees, they diverged into two species. Yet we still have both.
Another good example is influenza. There are many, many different strains that evolve each year.
Actually, bird flu is another good one. Bird flu has recently evolved into strains that can jump from animals to humans. A ton of birds have avian influenza though, yet only a few people have caught it. This is because there are still strains which can not jump to humans out there.
Take humans and apes and go back millions of years and you wind up with the same thing. A common ancestor that had its populations separated so they evolved differently. One evolved for a particular environment in which walking upright and such was advantageous, the other evolved for one in which swinging through trees was.

Humans didn't evolve from monkeys/gorillas. They shared a common ancestor. Which given the fact that 96% of our genes are identical to monkeys, shouldn't be to hard to believe. So, not evolved from at all, but definitely related. Hope this helps.

We have still yet to see any evidence of one species becoming another. Variations in the same species doesn't equate to evolution. For all we know at this stage is that those variations are reprogrammed in the DNA as possible variations. Mixing of DNA may make a new type of dog, but it is still a dog. So, even if a complex single cell organism managed to spontaneously form with perfect parts one time or even a thousand times, it wouldn't account for the wonderful variety of life here on Earth.
Evolution claims, random change & natural selection make simple things spontaneously transform into more complex things without recourse to intelligent design. Chance and random changes simply do not produce higher levels of organization & complexity.

We did not evolve from monkeys or gorillas.
Monkeys, gorillas, and humans evolved from a common ancestor.

Because they were probably somehow separated. Think about it. Example: lets say there were a big group of apes just chillen, somehow a bunch of them get lost, or somehow become isolated from the rest. That small pack reproduce and fit to their surroundings and adapt. While this happens, those apes are still chillen there and haven't evolved cause they do not need to on the count of them having all of what they need. The pack that are gone evolve into neanderthals and make tools in order to survive, thus becoming smarter by problem solving and exercising the way they think. This occurs over and over and over for thousands of years and thats why we are here today.

Did you not notice the million billion trillion questions just like this one that popped up when you asked this questions?
I'll make this short for you, mainly because I dont have patience FOR ANYONE that asked this unintelligent, remedial question.
First of all we did not evolve from monkeys, we came from a COMMON ANCESTOR. Good Lord what is so hard about that to understand? It angers me about how this subject is not taught well in school and we have a bunch of idiot people running around today without a hint of a clue about what evolution is.
Second of all please refer to the process of phylogenetics.
Thirdly....A question to answer a question: If cats come from lions why are there still lions? And at that why are there different breeds of cats AND lions.
Sounds like a ridiculous argument now huh.

I don't even believe in this and I can tell you why. They say that we are not from monkeys and gorillas but we have a common ancestor. Also if your line of thought applied to evolution, we would be the only species around.

The theory of evolution does not say we were evolved from monkeys or gorillas, but from a common ancester.

The evolution theory is literally vague, they discover one new species every day and try to fit into the cycle. just think naturally,... a simple cloth u wear take real technology to put it together into threads and then knit it with a plan to make it look continuous which becomes a cloth,.... and huh... this nature and the species in it,.... every bit of it is intriguing, so mystical,...just take an example of an eye,... and its mechanism to print what u r gazing on to the brain and reveal the image to ur brain..... how complex is it !!! u think all this happens just by fluke ??? ... they even say mulicellular evolved from single celled organism. Insane !!
