I asked a question earlier, and people disproved their own theory?

Question

I asked a question earlier, about what exactly humans evolved from, and they game me bogus answers of how we are primtive creatures, and our only related to monkeys or apes, but we did not decend from them. Doesnt that prove that we evolved from humans? Oh wait a minute we are humans! And before you go off ranting, please understand this from my perspective. If we didnt come from monkeys, apes, or etc. doesnt that prove that there were humans to begin with?

Okay Iguess I explained wrong, I meant that if we did not decend from apes or monkeys, doesnt that prove that humans evolved from primitive creatures, that were still called and considerd humans?

Answer 1

when you can leave at least one of them speechless.
you have hit on a truth, that they cannot defend.
could that common ancestor be, GOD?

Answer 2

Some people believe we came from the seas.

We may share a common ancestor with apes, but are not directly related to or descended directly from them. That is why there are still apes - changes in the genetic code as interspecies mating went on. So, no, it doesn't prove that humans were here before monkeys. Why don't you read up on it a bit? It's really very interesting stuff. Doesn't mean it's going to change your views, but it never hurts for one to gain knowledge.

Answer 3

No. You are committing a common error in the art of argument, namely, the error of insufficient alternatives.

Don't make the assumption that humans must look as they do now in order to be human.

Apes, monkeys, lemurs, etc...all evolved from previous versions of their own species. Just as we did. It need not be the case that apes and humans have a common ancestor. They may, but they also might not. It is possible that modern humans evolved from a bipedal animal that doesn't exist anymore...because it became human. Our earliest ancestors shared the planet with the ancestors of modern apes...but that doesn't mean they had, uh...you know, "monkey business" with each other.

I'm actually growing quite tired of Creationists who seem to believe that God is incapable of having created a complex and beautiful system of sustaining life over vast periods of time. Personally, I believe God is more than able to do that.

Answer 4

Not really. Not descending from apes or monkeys doesnt mean we cant be related. We are common descendents. An analogy would be siblings' relationship to each other instead of one descending from another.

That common ancestor we shared contained traits similar to humans but are not the same as humans as humans evolved away from them, much like monkey and apes evolving away from them also.

Answer 5

Think of apes, monkeys and humans as Cousins.

One of their very earliest Grandmothers and Grandfathers, was another type of primate altogether..

Niether ape, monkey or human .. but they evolved eventually to be all three, whichever fit whichever biological niche needed.

Really, you should try reading some science books without religious bias. It is not a difficult concept to understand..

Why is this question almost asked daily?

Answer 6

Humans and apes share a common ancestor. What you're saying is similar to saying that me and my cousin aren't related because our grandparents are dead.

*edit*
No, there's several species that humans decended from... I can't remember them all off the top of my head, but a few are Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis, and Homo habilis. None of these are still around because they evolved into Homo sapiens.

Answer 7

Yes according to the Bible.

Genesis 1:26-27; And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Here in verse 27 we have a summary of Mans existence

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Then in Genesis 2:6-7 we have the actual event. This we know because Genesis 2:4 says; These are the generations...

But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

The source or matter of which man came from is the ground.

The physical life is a journey from the craddle to the grave. What we do between determinds our eternal destiny. But, thats according to the scriptures and not me.

Answer 8

Surely you know how to use a search engine? If you're really interested in learning about evolution, as opposed to pretending to in order to make some obscure point, there's plenty of information on-line. But, don't get your information from religious sites because they often misrepresent the science, or outright lie.

Answer 9

We must first consider that evolution is a religion as much as christianity or islam. Now before you go storming up and down the decks, let me explain.

I cannot as a Christian prove SCIENTIFICALLY that God exists and that he created all things.

You cannot prove to me that we came from rocks.

It is unprovable because it cannot be duplicated in a lab.

Either theory. It takes a measure of faith to believe them.

Now to the question you have after the earlier comment. According to evolution, we came from apes(land based), who came from monkeys(tree based), who came from small subterranean rats(underground based), who came from small insect like fish(sea based), who came from smaller less complex creatures, who of course came from single celled organisms, who came from DNA strands, who came about when protien(living material) leached out of a rock(nonliving material) that just happened to have twisted around each other at the exact instance that a bolt of lighting struck that one particuliar spot where they were dancing.

Now, does that sound scientific or science fiction. I believe that it takes more faith to accept the SCIENTIFIC theory of evolution than it does to believe God not only created the universe and everything in it, but left us His lab notes on the project(His Holy Bible).

And that proves that we were created in the image and likeness of God Almighty Himself.

Go to drdino.com and watch the free videos from Kent Hovind on the subject, he even shows where we walked with the dinosaurs(dragon, beheomoth, leviathan).

Also visit the website below if you would like some good subject matter. Scientists want you to believe that theirs is the only way. Where we try to tell you that there is an alternative theory that they refuse to acknowledge.

Answer 10

...and which came first...? Was it the egg...? If a chicken was hatched from the egg, it must have been a chicken egg.... but wait a minute... um... so a chicken came first and then came the egg.... but wait another minute.... Where did the first chicken come from? Perhaps it was a bird that was sort of like a chicken but not exactly.... okay... now were getting somewhere....

Answer 11

we did not evolve from the modern ape or monkey... we all (primates) evolved from a common ancestor, long since extinct... as for yor "perspective" are you an evolutionary biologist? if not (obviously not) where did you get this perspective?
