Do you think we came from an animal? If you do , then which one and why?
Do you think God made us like we are?
Or maybe you have another theory.
Tell me what you think

I think humans are animals. We are not so special. The animal we evolved from no longer exist, because we evolved from it, didn't we.

How many times every day is this question asked, and answered?
Athée speaks for me as well, and anyone with a love for facts rather than fiction: "I don't "believe" in evolution. It is a scientific theory. It has moved beyond hypothesis and is in the hammering-out-the-details stage. Evolution is a fact.
"Of course we came from animals.. we *are* animals. Not vegetable. Not mineral. Must be animal :P We share a common ancestor with all other primates."
Simple, to the point, and even a Fundy could understand...maybe.

No, I don't "believe in" evolution, mitosis, photosynthesis, etc., but as a biologist I know quite a bit about such natural processes. I BELIEVE in God, Who designed these processes and put them into operation. Yes I believe God "made us like we are", but all available evidence indicates that He did not do so by some kind of instantaneous magic trick, but rather through a gradual natural process, which is how He does most things in the world. Science is based on evidence, not "belief", and the evidence supporting evolution is overwhelming, for anyone who cares to take an honest look at it.

i believe in evolution no more than i believe in gravity, that is: to the extent that it is directly observed, it is undeniable. As a theory that describes and explains phenomena, it's the best scientific theory available right now. creationism is not testable, so it is not a useful scientific theory. not to say that creationism is definitely false, but it seems likely that it is false. there is no need for god to intervene directly to do anything. natural mechanisms suffice.
humans are animals. most recently we have evolved from a species of ape which was the common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees. comparison of anatomical structures and genomes makes this clear.
i don't believe in god but i don't really have any quarrel with people who think that god made life through the process of evolution.

I do not believe there is a god.

I believe in evolution in bacteria and viruses but not for humans it would be different if they found lots of complete skeletal bodies in different stages
but they have not found 1 complete body that would prove human evolution if evolution was true there would be lots of bodies in different stages of evolving being dug up. If life started from a single cell organism then how did that organism eat to survive? it has no way to digest food to sustain itself and it would have to somehow magically grow a heart and lungs to breath and a complete digestive system because it could not have a partial stomach or food would not stay in, because you can't just have one or the other, it would not live.I believe that God made us. I just makes since

I don't believe in evolution, but I'm going to be real honest here. I don't have a valid reason why other than I don't like the idea of evolving from an ape.
I'll do some research & see what I come up with

I believe (I will not quite say I know evolution to be fact) in the whole deal of evolution, despite believing that God induced it, the fact is evolution is a lucky process that barring guidance would be very unlikely not impossible but very unlikely.
Abiogenesis, is a little shaky for me however.

Way too big a subject to answer here. Go look up 'evolution' in Wikipedia.
We ARE an animal, by the way. We're a kind of ape. With the biggest ego on the planet.

Science is to be understood and accepted, not "believed". Do you "believe in" gravity?

You seem to have a very simplistic view of evolution. The differences between each two generations are so tiny - it's a gradual, slow process.

God created a process whereby a primate would evolve with a brain large enough to house a choice-making consciousness.
You can call that evolution if you like.
