If people evolved from monkeys..?

Question

Then where did all the Australopithecines come from..?

Seriously though, It's amazing isn't it, 4 billion years of evolution to create a bible belt in America that denies the existence of everything that led to their existence..!

For the rest of us scientifically literate people, as carbon based life forms whos constituent elements were created in the cores of generations of stars, we are proof that the universe, at least in our neck of the universal woods, has evolved to a point where it can consider its own existence.
Isn't that so very cool..?

Jeanmarie, no science degree here honey. Do you need a degree in religion to believe in something fanciful and without evidence..?
What is your "alleged" science degree in, botany..?
Get real kiddo, your "allegedly" massive intellect is still no threat to overwhelming "mainstream" scientific evidence that is clear, unambigious and compelling..
So fess up, what is your "degree" in..?

Kaboodle and prismcat, this has all clearly gone right over your infantile religious heads. Read it again, and save your prepared, standard, knee jerk, and hollow responses for others who also have no idea..

Answer 1

Yes, it is. I'm guessing you hate it too when creationists think they know about evolution when they don't. Creationists are so ignorant on evolution.

Answer 2

1. We didn't evolve from monkeys. We evolved from a common ancestor with the apes. 2. All evolutionary changes are, are adaptions. That's it. Let's say there were Chimps in Africa and Chimps in Europe. Let's say there was a climate change in Africa. Sooner or later the Chimps in Africa could be considered a different species after enough evolutionary changes occur. The ones in Europe would still be changing at a normal pace. 3. We won't evolve back into anything. I have no idea where the hell you got this delusion from.

Answer 3

Yes it is! The more I think about the universe the more I fall in love with science and just how amazing the whole entire thing is and I just want to keep knowing more and more.

and here I though it was going to be a question I would have to drink to.

Answer 4

You know what my position is, I think iv'e even emailed you! This whole science/relgion debate thing is useless. Religion is concerned with human spiritual development, and science tries to understand the complexities of earthly materialism. No cross-over is possible, but people insist on doing it to their detriment.

Answer 5

its amazing, and no less a spiritual thing than our fellow monotheists;

consider this, a quote from the famous westerner turned Buddhist Alan Watts:

"planets like the earth people in the same way an apple tree apples....life is as fundamental a property of our universe as is gravity or inertia."

Answer 6

What makes you think you are scientifically literate? Scientific observations CONFIRM that mutations overwhelmingly cause a LOSS of information, not a net gain, as evolution requires. In order for mankind to have evolved from monkey like creatures, those creatures had to have been so much MORE intelligent than modern day man, and yet even our illustrious scientists agree they were primitive. Talk about contradictions! Can't have your cake and eat it too...

Answer 7

I never thought of it like that! The universe learning to recognize itself...

That is cool!

Answer 8

Yeah! It's amazing, the universe has evolved to the point where it can actually study itself.

Answer 9

Yes!

Answer 10

Hmm. I still don't think there's enough of us to justify the continuing existence of this species.
