Evolution question....?

Question

Shouldn't there be a ton more half-human/half-monkey skeletons on earth than just maybe one in a locked glass? If evolution took so long a time, shouldn't there be tons of em? More half-human/half-monkey skeletons than there are full human ones? Humans haven't been here nearly as long as how long some stages of evolution took, so shouldn't there be more half-human/half-monkeys lying around?

There's no evidence that space just decided to explode, and I'm not going to trust an ape to tell me that it did...

The Big Bang was based on Hubble's find that the universe was expanding... Fred Hoyle explained calmly that it was due to the birth of new matter. Nothing more. Why no one here's that, I dunno...
No evidence for Big Bang, Crazydude. (Title suits well, btw.) Tell me. What was it that exploded... and science says so much how if we were this far from the sun and if we were this close to the sun, we'd all die... accidental of course.

and greg b, about 2 weeks ago I changed my mind and said I was an athiest... Narrow minded? Too stuck on my own beliefs? No, quite obviously, not. I just happen to fight for what I think is true because I love God.

And I associate The Big Bang with evolution because... it's just as ridiculous.

Answer 1

Exactly.

First of all, the guy who quotes the websites is only quoting a waste of space on the internet. There's no point to any of them, you can easily discredit each and every one of them.

Second, evolution is believing in random chance, calculated to be 1 in 10^60 that life formed from a bunch of randomly created amino acids that just happened to form into a strand of DNA.

It takes more faith to believe in science than it does to believe in God.

Answer 2

Bad logic: "...I'm not going to trust an ape to tell me that it did..."

Good logic: Things explode in space all the time. Stars, for example. Nothing in this universe exists for all eternity -- nothing but the God that made it.

Why take the Bible ad verbatim (word-by-word), or literally, when the authors lacked a firm grasp on science? Humanity gradually learned that stars in the sky aren't just "floating, sparkling, celestial spheres," but rather great, gaseous balls of fire; that the earth revolves around the sun; that the physical universe can be measured. Just as with evolution, these ideas were mind-blowing back in the days they were discovered. People were fearful that religion would be compromised for science.

Science doesn't necessarily have to get in the way of religion; personally, I believe that science works to physically comprehend God's creations. You can ask yourself why creationism states that God created earth in seven days. I wonder why, if taken literally, we must therefore confine God's work to a random numeral; as if we saw everything the way God does? Seven days could be several billion years.

So, about the "monkey/humans". Off the top of my head, a few of the ones you might find in fossils are homo erectus and the neanderthals. Here's an idea I'll throw out: it might sound degrading for us humans to have evolved from "monkeys," but hey, primates are smarter than the rest of the animal kingdom (exempting dolphins, which are also comparably intelligent). We're of the homo sapien species -- meaning "wise man" in Latin. We're the smartest of all the species in the world! ^_^ Chimpanzees share 96% of our DNA -- it sounds like a lot, but 4% can make a big difference. And all life on earth has one original ancestor -- what it was is debated, but unknown. It is thought that humans appeared in the late Cenozoic era. Paleontologists haven't found motherloads of fossils because there weren't many humans around, and it is rare to find a fossil in good condition.

I'm not an expert at paleanthropology, so here is a link or two about their latest developments. Hmm...looks like a lot... http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/recent.html#mille

For details, you can also google this stuff... I recommend that you study the European Enlightenment, the human population boom, and how evolution works. Know the info, then decide.

Answer 3

No evidence for Big Bang? Are you high? Ever hear of the cosmic microwave radiation "fingerprint" of the Big Bang. What about how we have looked so far into space we can see early galaxies. You think the ****ing theory was just pulled out of someone's a ss? Where is your evidence of the great flood or the parting of the Red Sea or Exodus. What proof of God do you have other than a book. I will trust evolution because it has evidence. The only way we could find "tons of em" is if we dug up every square inch of the Earth. Fossils also aren't easily preserved either. Evolution states we came from a common ancestor or missing link not a ****ing ape or monkey. We evolved with different traits. And I believe Christianity was pulled from someone's a ss. There were hundreds of "messiahs" like Jesus in that time and were all crucified. Look into these theories instead of making false assumtions with no knowledge of the subject yourself. And there isn't just one skeleton either. And what's with ****ing Yahoo sensoring my "naughty words." The FCC is a bunch of ****ing ******* who are, according to the constitution, not supposed to exist. *end rant*

EDIT: And you uhwarriorfan do you know what the **** a theory is? It's something largely based on FACTS. Look up the ****ing definition.

EDIT: Yes paczjj15 evolution is believing in something that has a VERY small chance of happening but with the Universe you get infinite chances to do something so of course it's going to happen at some point.

EDIT: Mykl read my first edit. Do you know what a theory is? It is something based largely by evidence and facts. I'm sick of all these people who don't know what the **** they are talking about post here like a ****ing know it all.

Answer 4

Evolution did take a very long time. Fossilization, however, is a rare and difficult process. They provide snapshots of the progression of change, not the whole movie.

There are never going to be any "half human half monkey" skeletons found. The presumption rests on a complete and deliberate misunderstanding of what the ToE predicts. What we do have are plenty of fossils plainly illustrating the gradual development of human ancestry.

And the ToE says NOTHING WHATSOEVER about "exploding space". The Big Bang theory is part of astronomy, not biology.

I don't know how many times I have to repeat that...

Answer 5

There is no such thing as a half human, half monkey. However there are early humans with ape characteristics such as Australopithecus africanus and Australopithecus boisei. Considering these fossils are around six million years old there won't be that many around and will be very hard to find.
Of course if you want to ignore the fossils evidence there is still the mitochondrial DNA evidence to back up the findings. And the mitochondrial DNA evidence states you are 6.7 million years removed from a chimpanzee.

Answer 6

It's called The Theory of Evolution. It's not called The Evolution Fact. It's called theory for a reason, not all of the evidence to call it a fact is there, yet.

It's taught in schools becuase it is the most widely accepted non-religious explanation for life as we know it. At least the people supporting it and studying it admit to that. Those who preach Creation Science have no evidence except for a book that calls itself the proof of it factualness.

You can't define a word using the same word as the definition.

Answer 7

Ok first, evolution doesn't follow any set timeframes, it can jump ahead quickly. Second, we share 98% the DNA as modern primates. And thirdly, we HAVE found the remains of several different types of people (ie: neanderthals, cromagnons, etc.). Do yourself a favor and pick up a damn science book. It won't kill you and you just might learn something. Try it.

Answer 8

There is less than a 5% difference between the genes of primates and humans. Therefore man evolved from primates. However, there is only a 2% difference between the elements that make up a cloud and a watermelon. Therefore, the watermelon evolved from a cloud.

Answer 9

As much as I would like to give you an answer, I hardly think that you are willing to accept it for it appears that you are very close-minded person.

Science has also been based on plausible facts

Religion has always been based on blind faith.

Answer 10

Now everyone, repeat after me:

"and if Evolution were true, why are there still monkeys?"

That said, the argument is still nothing more than iron pyrite. Look it up, I'm not spoon feeding you all the answers tonight.

Answer 11

let me explain this

ape, slightly-less ape like ape, mostly ape with a few human qualities, half and half (ish), mostly human with a few ape qualities, almost all human, human.

that's how it works.

now as you can see, the half/half that you're expecting are actually not very common. and things that ARE transitional, you stupid creationists deny anyway (like lucy who fits into the mostly ape/very slightly human category).

so why bother.
