Evolution?

Question

Do you believe in evoloution?
If yes do you considder your self an evolved monkey? and why have we stoped evolving?

why have we stoped evolving from scratch instead of being born?

I am confused.
In the replies I have been told the big toe is getting bigger, the little toe is getting shorter, and the second toe is getting longer. I have also been told that the forehead is becoming more raised.
Oh yes people will have no wisdom teeth and the human race is becoming taller.
What are we evolving into?

To ATHEIST GEEK who said "As it is, you do not even have that elementary comprehension of the topic at hand." This is the reason why i have asked the question; to find out some info and get new in put.
Why are you so offended by a question if you have so much intelligence? It appears to me that you have the characteristics of a chimp not even an ape, and yes it also appears to me as you are still evolving.

Answer 1

We are all still humans. It is ridiculous to point to toes as evidence of evolution. People's feet and toes come in various sizes and always have.

Instead of pointing at people with bigger or smaller toes, evolutionists should be digging up all these millions of fossils that prove their theory. So far, all the bones that have been unearthed and that are said to prove evolution can fit in a coffin.

One atheist told me that 'bones get lost'. This surprised me because man is supposed to have evolved from an ape-like ancestor over millions, if not billions, of years. So surely there would be millions, if not billions, of fossils to unearth. I can understand say a thousand, or even a hundred thousand, going missing or being damaged.

----------

The progress of evolution is supposed to be as follows:

Fish - amphibians - reptiles - birds - mammals - man.

This would mean that fish appear first in the fossil record, or at least early on. However, the fossil record tells us that animals appeared all at the same time. It also tells us that fish did not evolve from anything, they just appeared out of nowhere with no evolutionary predecessor.

To get round this, the same atheist told me that man was the only species to have gradually evolved, everything progressed due to a violent burst. That still doesn't explain the missing fossils of ape-men, of which there should be tons.

-------------

You will hear atheists explain that our DNA is similar to apes, about 98% similar, but this figure tends to increase each time I hear it.

What they do not realise is that even that 2% difference is still a huge gulf.

One of the posters has said that early man was 4ft tall and covered in hair. Due to the lack of fossils unearthed, it can not be stated as fact that what early man in general looked liked. Even if all the fossils were available, the amount of body hair he would have had would be pure speculation. Besides, there are people today who are 4ft tall and some that are hirsute so would it not be more reasonable to conclude that early humans had as much variety as we do today?

Atheist Geek - you take forever to say nothing.

Answer 2

evolution? Well the evidence for this is just overwhelmingly enormous and comprehensive ...so yes!

An evolved monkey....well people point out that we evolved from apes but monkey is fine for me.... I'm sure our early primates ancestors would have had tails and been quite monkey-like. Then again I would also be happy to say we are evolved fishes because we initially all started out vertebrate ancestry in the oceans!

Stopped evolving...mmm, I don't think there's much evidence of that. Evolution is pretty slow and subtle and many of the changes are often invisible at all but the molecular level. Furthermore, although we are isolating ourselves from many of the "survival of the fittest" pressures of other species , we don't know that this will "prevent" evolution. Its just as possible that our evolution might take unexpected directions to help us cope with overeating hamburgers or drinking too many margaritas (but only if you have a few hundred generations of consistent burger eaters and alcoholics in your family!). If you are really keen to know more, there seems to be a lot of research being done on these topics ...

Answer 3

Yes, I think evolution is very accurate.

No, I do not consider myself an evolved monkey. Human and APES shared a common ancestor. This is why our DNA is so similar. Just one little chromosome is the difference.

Who says we have stopped evolving? Evolutionary changes happen very slowly. You would never notice the changes taking place. You just do not wake up one morning and say "Wow...I think we just evolved. Lookie...a new finger grew overnight."

Early man was only about 4 feet tall, covered in hair, had sloped foreheads and a heavy brow-bone. They were short, but extremely stocky. Modern man didn't evolve into what we are today in a span of a few years. It took millions of yrs to get here.

Edit ~ Oh jeez...All I was trying to say was we went from Point A to Point B over a period of a million years. It happens s-l-o-w-l-y. You are not going to look down at your toes and see them growing/shrinking/whatever. Why is this so freaking hard to understand? Did everyone sleep through Jr High Science class??? Don't tell me there are only a handful of people on this Earth that understand Evolution? Or is it their bible has clouded their rational thought processes?

Answer 4

a million) in accordance to evolutionists, human beings stepped forward from apes? human beings are apes by utilising definition. Linnaeus categorised us as such and he became a creationist. 2) there are various shown information in technological information, yet evolution is only a concept. fake by way of a pretend impact of the be conscious concept. A actuality, in technological information, is a discrete factor of suggestions. Theories connect information and clarify them. there isn't any greater type than concept. 3) A transitional form is a fossil of an animal it rather is a factor one species and section yet another. fake. All organisms are transitional. 4) The age of the earth is set by utilising scientists fullyyt in the process the radioactive relationship of fossils ? The age of the Earth became desperate by utilising relationship a meteor on the thought the image voltaic equipment became each and each of an analogous age. All different calculations extra healthful the age discovered. 5) The scientific approach starts off with a prediction and then looks for information to help that prediction? It starts off with assertion. Then a hypothesis is formed from that assertion. After the hypothesis is formed, scientists seem for information to help or falsify the hypothesis. 6) the thought of evolution incorporates the huge Bang? fake. 7) To have confidence in evolution is to have confidence that existence and count got here from no longer something? fake.

Answer 5

Dear Mr. Creationist (or whatever your handlers tell you to call it this week),

Another 30 board-feet of pasting the same arguments does not change the fact that they are still as wrong as when we debunked them all the first time.

You have absolutely zero ability to comprehend what you paste, and as such, when you come across the same argument already shredded here at a later date it appears brand new to you. It is a truly sad state, and you need to grasp that you only highlight your own mental deficiency by persisting with the cut and paste marathon.

Were you able, on even the simplest level, to grasp the concepts involved, you would recognize the repetitive nature of your posts. As it is, you do not even have that elementary comprehension of the topic at hand.

Sadly, this is how creationism works, they rely on the vehement and vociferous response of their most ignorant and uneducated of followers to speak for them. They pot up the article, fully knowing the lies, distortions, and misleading nature of them and wait for people like you to cry them from the mountaintops.

We know the creationist movement to be dishonest to it's core, because the articles they produce requires a pretty decent knowledge of astronomy, cosmology, geology, anthropology, and a variety of other sciences... yet it is deliberately twisted and distorted in to outright lies. And this is not the type of misunderstanding that comes from a bad grasp of the topic, it required in-depth lies and trickery to produce.

So climb that mountain again, Rainman, and tell us again how wrong we are.

Answer 6

You must be an american.

Evolution is every bit a fact as gravity.

H0mo sapiens *are* apes (not monkeys - why do so many americans get this wrong?)

Which of course evolved from earlier apes, just like other modern apes did.

Who told you we stopped evolving? Surely you don't expect to observe human evolution within one puny human life span.

Especially since technology (especially medical) removes much of the selection pressure.

Answer 7

We have not stopped evolving.
After all how can we stop doing something which we never started!
There is no proof of evolution, just mere speculation, lies and an unhealthy dose of imagination.
Even the evolutionists answering this question don`t agree with each other.
God has given us proof of His creation (just open your eyes). Do you really believe that all this around you has made itself or are you cutting God out of the equation so that you can live as you please, beholden to no-one.
We all have an appointment at the judgement throne of God and there is no way that you or I can avoid it.

Answer 8

I wish people who tried to question evolution had some sort of grasp of science, logic and reason before trying to disprove it.

I believe in Evolution. I believe in the science behind it and the evidence to prove it. As the other posters have written here, evolution takes many generations, it doesn't happen over a weekend. I'm sure we are still evolving,but at a rate that we can't see.

Answer 9

Yes and yes.
We have not stopped evolving, we are forever changing. For example, a hundred years ago, the average height of a male in the U.S. was 5'-6", today it is 6'-0". Changes over thousands or millions of years are easier to look back on and see the large steps but not as easy to find the wandering paths to get from one to another.

Answer 10

I don't "believe" in evolution, I accept the model as having an overwhelming amount of evidence.

No, I consider myself an evolved ape. Monkeys are a different branch of the family.

Have we stopped evolving? It's rather hard to tell over the course of recorded history whether we have or have not stopped.

Edit:
Forgot my drink... guess I'll take two to make up for it!
