for the first apes to evolve into homo-erectus, it took about 5 MILLION years.

YET, for homo-erectus to evovle into modern day humans, it took about TEN THOUSAND years.

if you take a look at the differences of pre-historic apes and homo-erectus, you will see there is about as much difference between those 2 as there are for homo-erectus and modern-day human.

how come one takes longer? by millions of years?!?!?! evolution is flawed.

I agree evolution is fake. For example if humans indeed evolve from apes they why does other apes like monkeys, chimps, gorillas and other apes doesn't evolve then? why did it only human? Atheists knows they are wrong they just hate to admit it.

That is a simple question to answer. It is because of intelligence that it took less time for Homo-erectus to evolve then for ape to evolve. Homo-erectus evolved from a ape, so homo-erectus is more intelligent than an ape given this assumption. So, it would necessarily take less time for homo-erectus to evolve into a man, than an ape into homo-erectus, because homo-erectus has a higher level of intelligence.

Therefore, intelligence speeds up the process of evolution. How does modern man evolve? By being intelligent.

Apes diverged from Old-World monkeys about 25 million years ago. Homo erectus lived from about 2 million years ago, and anatomically modern humans appeared around 100 000 years ago. So it took about 23 million years for the first apes to evolve into Homo erectus, and about 1.9 million years for Homo erectus to evolve into Homo sapiens.
Everything you say in your question is a lie. Where exactly did you get that terrible information from?

Please post your sources for those numbers; a quick scan of your friendly neighborhood Internet shows that it took around 1.5 million years for Homo sapiens to evolve from Homo erectus. Check out the user-friendly WikiPedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_human_evolution or TalkOrigins at http://www.talkorigins.org/origins/geo_timeline.html .

The article Brian linked to is incorrect as well, on at least one account. The article states:

"To make evolution happen—or even to make evolution a scientific theory—evolutionists need some kind of “genetic script writer” to increase the quantity and quality of genetic information. Mutations are just “typographic errors” that occur as genetic script is copied."

New genetic information can be created (that is the quantity of genetic information can be increased). It happens when a mutation causes genetic information to be duplicated, leaving the original information intact. Then either the original or the duplicated information mutates later. This has been observed. Start with TalkOrigins at http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB101_2.html .

No offense meant here, but in general you shouldn't trust a religious source to provide a decent scientific education anymore than you'd trust a scientific source to provide a decent religious education.....

During the Miocene, 5 - 6 million years ago, you had Ardipithecus. Australopithicus anamensis and afarensis lived during Pliocene 4.2 million and 2.6 - 3.7 million years ago, respectively. The Longuppo Cave Homo erectus skeleton is dated about 1.9 million years old, during the Pleistocene. Homo sapiens appeared about 130,000 years ago. I'd go farther back, but I have a feeling it's wasted on you, true believer.

Doesn't it embarrass you to be so publicly wrong so frequently?

yes it's flawed, evolution is flawed, i doubt there are any anthropologists who insist it's perfect, because if it is then why are there "missing links" Thinks like that australipithiciene, what happened to them. And the new "hobbit" homo floresiensis, 20 years ago no one would expect there would be a new homo, in fact, when they discovered it the anthropologists argued that it was a very specific example and it wasn't until they found 7 more did they accept it.

that's why evolution is a working theory that documents change in species. Of course if you think God said, "hey I'm making you from dirt" that's fine with me too.

since this is science and not religion, one difficulty does not invalidate a whole theory. I am not an anthropologist so I cant provide more detail than that unfortunantly.

Evolution is a framework. If something is found that does not appear to fit the framework it must be investigated. Perhaps that solution isnt so obvious, that does not mean there is no solution. If there was indeed something thta ws impossible for science to explain with evolution the theory must be modified but this has never happened yet.

You are correct this is one of their many problem. The following should be helpful.

"The mathematical problem for evolution comes when you want a series of related mutations. The odds of getting two mutations that are related to one another is the product of the separate probabilities: one in 107 x 107, or 1014. That’s a one followed by 14 zeroes, a hundred trillion! Any two mutations might produce no more than a fly with a wavy edge on a bent wing. That’s a long way from producing a truly new structure, and certainly a long way from changing a fly into some new kind of organism. You need more mutations for that. So, what are the odds of getting three mutations in a row? That’s one in a billion trillion (1021). Suddenly, the ocean isn’t big enough to hold enough bacteria to make it likely for you to find a bacterium with three simultaneous or sequential related mutations.

What about trying for four related mutations? One in 1028. Suddenly, the earth isn’t big enough to hold enough organisms to make that very likely. And we’re talking about only four mutations. It would take many more than that to change a fish into a philosopher, or even a fish into a frog. Four mutations don’t even make a start toward any real evolution. But already at this point some evolutionists have given up the classic idea of evolution, because it just plainly doesn’t work."

You reasoning is whats flawed.

There is no fixed timescale for evolution, no timetable or schedule. Crocodiles have been unchanged for millions of years because there are under no evelotionary pressure to change and haven't been exposed to any new adpative oportunities. Bacteria evolve in just a few generations to adapt to new environments and opportunities

Early hominids evolved rapidly because they were able to exploit the advantages they had previously and slowly developed over other animals, such as intelligence, use of tools, possibly language or abstract concepts.

What a pity that man has spent about 7 million years evolving the ability to think only for some to throw it all away in favour of copy-and-paste religious dogma.

The Aliens we call God, Elohim, Anunnaqi, Kachina, Neteru, Allahuma (or whatever else language u can find), who are not from earth stepped in and mixed their blood in with the Homo Erestus and sped up the evolutionary process.

That's why it says God took dust to make man. The dust was symbolic of blood because when blood dries, it turns to dust. The Hebrew word for dust is "Adamah" meaning of the ground- evoluted.

Get your facts right.
