"question too stupid for meaningful answer"
No. you just simply refuse to give a meaningful answer because you can't give a meaningful answer. so typical of a evolutionist simpleton.

Concerning the debate going on about intelligent design and evolution: is it possible that the final answer about which of these two seemingly opposite ideas is correct could simply be yes?
With one position firmly held by the believers and the other just as fearlessly defended by the non-believers, if you happen to be in a position somewhere near the middle, it does not look all that complex. From this position, you wonder why either-or has to be the answer.
If you believe that some higher being created the universe by intelligent design, what more elegant and intelligent design could there have been than a self-regulating system that continually checks its own errors and makes its own corrections in mid-stream as an integral part of the process.
This all seems quite logical to me although it probably won’t satisfy the believers because they are afraid to see any truth other than the one they have been told to believe in. Inversely it certainly won’t satisfy the non-believers because it leaves them stuck with a god that they are so obviously terrified of.
To sum up this view from the center, it might be most easily be explained by saying perhaps the designer was intelligent. Problem is, the designer was likely so intelligent that those seeking to prove that it is intelligently designed may be incapable of ever understand it well enough to see it for the elegant self regulating design that it has always been.
The nonbelievers will be similarly handicapped due to the internal terror the have about the idea that there may be a God. Neither side being able to leave their entrenched position for fear they may have to admit they were wrong. While the rest of us stand by trying to figure out what all the fuss is about. Personally I don’t think anyone is wrong, I just feel both sides are about half right.
Love and blessings

What if we're all right...what if we did evolve from Monkeys that evolved from ...that evolved from...that evolved from....
What if the original creatures created by God were not human form as we know it, but creatures fo the earth just as God created them in "his image"....which I translate to mean "as he imagined them to be"
Religion in itself is just a vehicle to gather like minded or thinking individuals under one cluster to better support their spiritual beings. therefore it's possible that all religions are correct.
What if this is so? and what if we all started treating each other as our different religions guide us to do?
The whole world would be so much closer and we would all be so much happier!
How long do you think it would take for a world to pull that off!

Is that a serious question?
The set up for the question is wrong anyway, but I gleaned this from the net:
-------------------------
Humans did not evolve from monkeys. Humans are more closely related to modern apes than to monkeys, but we didn't evolve from apes, either. Humans share a common ancestor with modern African apes, like gorillas and chimpanzees. Scientists believe this common ancestor existed 5 to 8 million years ago. Shortly thereafter, the species diverged into two separate lineages. One of these lineages ultimately evolved into gorillas and chimps, and the other evolved into early human ancestors called hominids.
-----------------------------------------------------
If you don't understand natural selection (which you clearly do not) , you cannot intelligently debate the origins of species.

A simpleton is one who can't accepts facts because it clashes with his belief in fairytales. Pick up a science book for crying out loud. Join the ranks of the educated.

The bunny smells a troll.
Don't worry about it too much. Just know that the evolution theory states that we share a common ancestor with the monkeys, it'll make you seem much smarter if you say that instead the next time you ask this question

This is not a question, it is a rant and a violation of TOS, I won't report however, let's just leave it up, so next time someone rants about those "mean ol' atheists" who can only spew insults, I can point them to this question where you called people who you disagree with "dimwits" & "idiots"
Thanks for the two point.

they say drink to salute the absolute stupidity of your question.
do you really believe this? holy cow - this is probably the most uneducated question i have read on here all week.
you don't have to believe in evolution, but next time you start questioning those of us who do, check your barn door. hard to take anyone seriously when they are unzipped.

i find it odd that, if one evolves for the preservance of its own species, then why did we (as monkeys and apes) have fur in the hottest parts of the world, then when we moved to the coldest reagions of the world, we evolved to loose our fur and had to resort to hunting to wear the furs of animals.

Richard Dawkins wrote the answer to your question, it's called "The Ancestor's Tale".
Read it.
