The half banana theory is my term for the belief by evolutionists that human beings are descended from apes.They claim that since our DNA is 98% similar to that of chimpanzees it is “evidence” we have the same grandparents.Well, by their way of thinking we must also be half banana as the DNA in bananas is 50% similar to human.Ramapithecus,once widely regarded as the ancestor of humans,has now been recognized as merely an extinct type of orangutan.A Chinese farmer glued together the head and body of a primitive bird and the tail and hind limbs of a dromaeosaur dinosaur,and in 1999 completely fooled the world-wide scientific community into thinking that they had found the “missing link” between carnivorous dinosaurs and modern birds.Orce man found in 1982 was hailed as the oldest fossilized human remains ever found in Europe.One year later officials admitted the skull was not human,but probably came from a 4-month old donkey.
Running out of room. I will have to continue with details.

Piltdown Man was a forgery consisting of the lower jaw bone of an ape combined with the skull of a fully developed, modern man that was made to appear old by staining the bones with an iron solution and chromic acid. Hesperopithecus, also known as Nebraska man was based entirely on a single tooth of a type of pig now living only in Paraguay.
Reiner Protsch von Zeiten’s Hahnhofersand Man (the missing link between Neanderthals and modern humans) was later discredited.On February 18, 2005, Protsch was forced to retire in disgrace after a Frankfurt University panel ruled he had "fabricated data and plagiarized the work of his colleagues". They found that he lied about the age of human skulls, dating them tens of thousands of years old, even though they were much younger.According to Hank Hanegraaff Java man(discovered by Dubois)was a piece of skull,a fragment of a thighbone, and three molar teeth.The skullcap may have belonged to a large extinct ape, and the leg bone to an ordinary human.

The so called Neanderthal skeleton found France 50 years ago has since been discovered to merely be an arthritic, old man. When "Lucy" was discovered in Ethiopia in 1974, 60% of the skeleton was missing. Casts of imaginary bones were then created in museums worldwide to make a skeleton that looked like an ape woman, with an ape-like face and head, but with a human-like body, hands and
feet.Richard Leakey, one of the world’s foremost paleo-anthropologists stated, “To date, there has been nothing found to truthfully purport as a transitional specie to man, including Lucy…If further pressed, I would have to state that there is more evidence to suggest an abrupt arrival of man rather than a gradual process of evolving.” Richard Leakey also said, “If pressed about man’s ancestry, I would have to unequivocally say that all we have is a huge question mark.”

Textbook author, and biologist, Dr Gary Parker said, "Fossils are a great embarrassment to evolutionary theory and offer strong support for the concept of creation". Dr. Parker began his teaching career as an atheist and evolutionist. En route to his degrees in biology/chemistry, biology/physiology and an Ed.D. in biology/geology, he realized the arguments for evolution were so weak that he could no longer believe them. Evolutionist Dr Tim White, an anthropologist at the University of California, Berkeley, said, "The problem with a lot of anthropologists is that they want so much to find a hominid that any scrap of bone becomes a hominid bone". [Hominid collarbone exposed as dolphins rib, New Scientist, 28 April 1983, p.199].Henry Gee said, “‘Fossil evidence of human evolutionary history is fragmentary and open to various interpretations. Fossil evidence of chimpanzee evolution is absent altogether.’ [Nature vol. 412, p. 131, 2001].

To illustrate Darwin’s "natural selection", the Encyclopedia Britannica used two photos, one showing a light-colored moth and a dark-colored moth against a light background, and then against a dark background. This "peppered moth" evidence of evolution was later proved to be fraudulent. [Of Moths and Men, Judith Hopper, Norton, Pg. 377]."Darwin’s finches demonstrate variety within the strict limits of a single species. This variety within species is what allows for different breeds of dogs.But since the dogs always remain dogs, no matter how many breeding generations, Darwinian evolution is just not taking place". [The Answers Book, Ken Ham, 2002].The geologic column does not exist as it is depicted in text books--"The global 'stack' of index fossils exists nowhere on earth."[The Geologic Column: Does it Exist? John Woodmorappe,Creation Ex Nihilo Technical Journal, 77-82, 1999].Science magazine reported in 1984 that shells from living snails were carbon dated as being 27,000 years old.

Charles Darwin said,"But, as by this theory innumerable transitional forms must have existed,why do we not find them imbedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth?" Darwin goes on in the next paragraph to say that he believes the transitional forms(missing links)are missing because the fossil record is "incomplete".Yet here we are 100 years later,and all the missing links are still missing.Animals always show up in the fossil record fully formed,there are no transitional forms.Respected evolutionist,David Kitts,said,"Despite the bright promise that paleontology provides a means of 'seeing' evolution,it has presented some nasty difficulties for evolutionists the most notorious of which are 'gaps' in the fossil record. Evolution requires intermediate forms between species and paleontology does not provide them."[Evolution, vol. 28, 1974, p. 467].Although faced with no paleontological way to show one species changing into another,Kitts holds on to his belief in evolution.

Famous evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould,Professor of Geology and Paleontology at Harvard wrote,"The absence of fossil evidence for intermediary stages between major transitions in organic design,indeed our inability,even in our imagination,to construct functional intermediates in many cases,has been a persistent and nagging problem for gradualist accounts of evolution."[Is a new and general theory of evolution emerging? Paleobiology,vol.6(1),January1980, p.127]."The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology.The evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches;the rest is inference,however reasonable,not the evidence of fossils"[Gould,1980,The Panda’sThumb].Since there is no evidence in the fossil record that one species changed into another,Gould came up with a theory called Punctuated Equilibrium.His theory states that a dinosaur must have laid an egg from which hatched a bird.

David Raup,Curator of Geology at Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History,said,"Well,we are now about 120years after Darwin and the knowledge of the fossil record has been greatly expanded.We now have a quarter of a million fossil species but the situation hasn’t changed much.The record of evolution is still surprisingly jerky and,ironically,we have even fewer examples of evolutionary transitions than we had in Darwin’s time."[Conflicts between Darwin and Paleontology,Field Museum of Natural History Bulletin Jan. 1979,Vol.50 No.1 p.22-29]."The more scientists have searched for the transitional forms that lie between species, the more they have been frustrated."[Newsweek, November 3, 1980, p. 95]."Scientists concede that their most cherished theories are based on embarrassingly few fossil fragments and that huge gaps exist in the fossil record."[Time magazine,Nov. 7,1977]."There are no universally accepted fossil remains which demonstrate the evolution of man."

However, this is impossible because scales are folds in skin; while feathers are complex structures with a barb, barbules, and hooks. Feathers also originate in a totally different way than scales, from follicles inside the skin in a manner akin to hair. [Refuting Evolution, Dr Jonathan Sarfati].

Since life originating by chance is statistically impossible,astronomer John Barrow and mathematical physicist Frank Tipler were forced to conclude that there must be an intelligence that created life.Unwilling to accept the biblical Creator,they hypothesize that life may evolve to such an advanced degree that it will become an all-knowing,all-powerful, omnipresent god that then may be able to create life in the past.They call this concept "The Final Anthropic Principle".[Barrow & Tipler,The Anthropic Cosmological Principle, 1986].Molecular Biologist Harry Rubin wrote,"Life,even bacteria,is too complex to have occurred by chance."Amazingly,professor Rubin goes on to say he believes life was 'created",but that he rejects the "literal interpretation" of what he calls "the Bible story".A few sentences later,he maintains that he still believes in evolution.[Life,Even in Bacteria,is Too Complex to Have Occurred by Chance in Margenau and Varghese(eds.)

In 2004,the legendary British philosopher and proponent for atheism, Professor Antony Flew,renounced his atheism because "the argument to intelligent design is enormously stronger than it was when I first met it". He said, "It now seems to me that the finding of more than fifty years of DNA research have provided materials for a new and enormously powerful argument to design". He said he "had to go where the evidence leads".[Go-dandscience.org].Dr. T.N. Tahmisian of the Atomic Energy Commission said,"Scientists who go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great con-men,and the story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever.In explaining evolution,we do not have one iota of fact".

Lord Kelvin, a great British scientist who made important discoveries in thermodynamics and died in 1907 said, "Overwhelming strong proofs of intelligent and benevolent design lie around us…The atheistic idea is so nonsensical that I cannot put it into words". [Proceedings of the Victoria Institute, No. 124, p. 267].Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) said,"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect had intended for us to forgo their use..” Louis Pasteur, the scientist who invented pasteurization, said, "A little science estranges men from God, but much science leads them back to Him.”
I'm going to stop now, because someone told me to quit trying to sound smart. My prayer is that evolutionists will admit they are wrong and START sounding smart.
There's much, much more. Are you willing to forsake your pride and learn? Do some research on your own.

Great work; It is too bad that it is for the most part lost on the australopithecine minds of the people posting here.
It seems to me that none of them addressed the basis of your question which is why evidence touted as verifying evolution always seems to come up short of the mark and in many cases has been fraudulent.
No, they instead take the cowards way out and use ad hominine attacks on you. They just can’t stand it that their worldview evidence is a sham. Take for instance the first reply, “stop trying to sound smart
IS NOT WORKING!!!!!!!!!” now there is an intelligent reply. NOT.
Then there was the uneducated child that said you had no source list. She obviously didn’t read what you wrote or failed to recognize the information included in [ ] identified the source.
Thanks again for pointing out that which is obvious to all that have eyes to see and ears to hear; In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

I personally do not feel Dawkins refuses to debate creationists, he has written many books explaining why creationists is "a preposterous, mind-shrinking falsehood." He has been criticized by religious scholars and has responded. I feel you should read a lot more about him before you go on about him. Evolution has not been fully proven because it is a theory, and like all theory nothing is in fact fact but only supported or not supported. There is a lot of evidence that supports that humans are related to apes, maybe not directly but there is evidence supporting that we could be relatives. Scientist are some of the first to admit when the evidence they find does not support their theory but the evidence they find can be used to support another theory or open their eyes to other answers. I am not a biologist, I majored in Anthropology and have gone on many, Archaeology, digs and I cannot agree with the idea of Creationism when there has been no evidence discovered to support this. I believe in theories with some type of evidence, no evidence means no proof just an idea. I do not know any Evolutionist, religious or not, that are afraid of God if they believe or not. The only time Creationism/Intelligent Design should be brought up in schools is in philosophy or religion class. Creationism should not be taught in any scientific class ever, because there is nothing to support the idea.

Paleo diet its a diet based around eating real food unprocessed and organic. Learn here https://tr.im/ag8VK
Whether you have or not, what you probably don't realize is that it’s the fastest growing “diet” in the world right now. From celebrities, chefs, elite athletes. Even fitness experts is eager to try it or adopt it.
And for good reason, because no other diet or eating plan provides so many benefits so fast.

Oh yes, you have discovered the answer! Surely it must have been some all-knowing, all-powerful being that poofed out of nowhere and created us out of the dirt underneath our feet! That seems so much more likely!
Now. Sharing 98% percent of the DNA of an ape doesn't mean that humans are 98% monkey, nor are monkeys 98% human. It simply beens we share quite a few characteristics. Humans share some percentage of DNA with about everything on this planet. All more reason to believe that ALL of us started off as a cell, and then split off into seperate organisms--EVOLVING into what we are today.

Creationists are very very good at pointing holes in evolution theory and making them a lot bigger than they are.
At presenting evidence on the other hand, they are not so good. I mean, read your own question and count how many evidences you presented, none. You attacked evolution at one tiny little missheap with the Ramapithecus and also presented unscientific theory about the half banana thing that: 1)dosen't make sense (i'm sorry, it dosen't)
2)As i said before, it is notevidence, its merely you tryng to put evolution down.
Darling, i guess you'll have to continue with details in order to impress anyone around here.
Research, in spite on what some people say, there are lots of good questions here questioning evolution

All they accept is atheistic philosophy irregardless of how poor the evidence is for it. To atheists, they cant possibly be open to the fact of creation and have to believe in whatever else there is (evolution) no matter what even if it leads them down roads of absurdity and hatred as you noted from your response.
You evolutionists are a very poor witness for atheism.

As whacked out as it may sound, satan is strong in fooling people like these.he makes them believe this so they wont acknowledge Gods creation,and also takes it a bit further and makes them not believe in Him(God).
This is just one of the many ways satan fools people into that wonderous loop of "is there a God or no?" satans main purpose is to deceive as many people as possible, no matter what way he does it, so people will not accept the truth which is God Almighty. So long as He succeeds in people not accepting JesusChrist as Lord and savior, more and more people will have a one way ticket to hell and not Heaven.
BUT GOD IS MERCIFUL AND KNOWS WHAT satan IS AFTER,SO HE STILL ACCEPTS YOU WITH OPEN ARMS AND WILL HELP YOU THE REST OF THE WAY!
Besides, where did these monkeys come out of? Who created them? Logical it is the one who will reign forever,GOD ALMIGHTY!!!

Umm, not seeing any evidence. More evidence points to evolution than to wham, bam, here you are creationism. Perhaps a higher power started the process and tweaked it here and there, but evolution has, is, and will happen. Also remember that a majority of the world isn't Christian, so your version of creationism may not be the same as an Asatruar.

You do know that they cannot look beyond their "theory" and they think that suggesting that everyone else should prove the existance of God supercedes their need to find this "missing common link"
You can't change their minds because they cannot think beyond what they have been taught to think.
