Religious people denied evolution because the concept of man coming from apes does not work in their realm of reality even though chimps are closest to us.
How about the dimetrodon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimetrodon
All mammals (of which religious people are too) came from this creature. The sail on his back was used to trap heat in his body so he could move around faster than other reptiles. This sail latter became the nots on the spine of mammals that is felt like little bumps.

So if we did not evolve, why do we have these similarities/ characteristics of this creature...or was it that these animals were what were reffered to as the 'dust' that god used to make man according to the bible?

Ivan B: U obviously are judging the book by the cover. I feel sorry for u because all u accused me of is exactly what u are a victim to. I provided evidence of my statements that can be found thru science but where can u lead me to prove that the God u speak of is a reality?

Another something to look at is the fact that all land mammals pretty much work the same way....10 fingers, 10 toes, 2 eyes, a mouth and a nose. Similar if not identical internal organs that work pretty much the same way. Sexual organs that work pretty much the same way, etc...
If we don't share a common ancestor, why all the similarities? If we were created individually from each other, wouldn't our differences be more radical?????
Just an observation.

if u were genetically designing creatures u would be creative and alter on what u already had to make variation ... so ... take a flowering plant that uses a fuzzy sail on its seed to spread it with the wind ... that fuzzy fluffy sail must have taken a couple of million years to develope ryt? .. how about when it was half formed and it didnt work good ... or did it just all of a sudden pop out working ... thats THE problem with evolution ... there are not a few missing links .. there are millions of missing links and they wouldnt even be functional in the ecosystem ...

Science simply can't go back enough to the beginnings. What shaped the universe? How did our sun come to be? By reactions in the nucleus of the sun. Every Reaction has an Action prior to it. Evolution shows only reactions, and not actions.

What proof is there of evolution you are so mentally frozen to your wheel that you can not think outside the box. You blame Christians for denying this and denying that, as if you could prove any of your silly allegations. You know nothing of evolution except what deluded men tell you, you have got half a brain to do the research yourself, you have not the other half to think for yourself, but you let others dictate to you what you believe. You have swallowed all that they would tell you, and the only reason why you dont vomit or upchuck it all is because you don't want to acknowledge that there is a God in Heaven. That is the bottom line. Your rebelliousness denies God and you believe a lie, one after another after another till you don't know the truth cant tell the truth for all the hogwash that you have swallowed. You are so convinced of the proof, ask them if you are so absolutely positive to see the proof of evolution ask any one to present to you proof of evolution and they can not give you any all they can do is give you conjecture, hypothesis, hypothetical statements, to build their own belief systems. PROVE IT! PROVE THAT EVOLUTION IS A FACT, WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE! YOU DONT HAVE ANY!

I am Christian, but i believe in evolution. The Bible wasn't meant to be a scientific text, so maybe they got a few things wrong. The whole concept of the Bible and its ideas are still perfectly valid.

All mammals have the hand print of the One and Only Same God. You didn't evolve. You were created. This earth has been moaning and groaning since sin came in the Garden of Eden. Sin caused the ground to be cursed also. Matter is nothing but a creation of God and upheld by God. God is life, my friend. All life.

As a religious person I don't deny evolution. Thankfully my faith has evolved over the years beyond what I believed in third grade.

They'll never buy it. The dimetrodon lived more than 200 million years ago. That's out of their realm of acceptance for the age of this planet.

perfectly correct.There is a very thin layer of difference from animal behavior and human except perhaps we have a better brain.This alone is proof that man was evolved from primates.
