Why can't evolutionists get their facts straight?

Question

I've heard evolutionists making all sorts of wild claims on this board. For example, some of them say we came from monkeys, others say we came from apes. Some people say we came from single-celled organisms. Others say the entire universe was created from nothing, so we came from nothing.

So which is it? According to your own theory, we came from all these different things. Is it possible that all these different things would magically combine to make humans? Obviously not. The fact that evolution says we came from all these different things (bacteria, apes, monkeys, nothing, mammals, etc.) proves that Intelligent Design must be true.

The only way that a monkey could be combined with an ape and bacteria and a bunch of other stuff to make a human is if somebody took the trouble to combine them. Otherwise you'd end up with a monkey with ape legs and a bacterial infection. It's obvious that only God could combine all these things to get a human.

Answer 1

You know;---even while your questions are all in fun, they are beginning to reveal something very scary about the people who surround us.---I never realized, until I started reading your posts, just how careless people are in their reading.
Even seemingly intelligent people completely misunderstand most of the questions you have been asking.
Even when you tell them that you're joking, they continue to treat it as a very serious and even threatening question.
I never dreamed someone would sound like they want to kill the person who is telling them a joke, or just trying to entertain them.
We may not have evolved as far as we thought.
I hate to say this, but this revelation has caused me to lose a little confidence in the future of our people.
Is this carelessness responsible for the extreme views of fundamentalists?-- Will we finally be destroyed by our own ignorance.---It's very scary.

Answer 2

I'm a believer of Evolution by Intelligent Design. I do not know that we came from a monkey or ape, although, I've met some people that would make you wonder. I do believe that we evolved from a lower form of human. This is evident even in recorded history. In Genesis, it says that God did things in days but it does not tell us how God measures a day. Our method of measuring time is man made. It took thousands of years for man-kind to develope a standard method to measure time and is based off earths rotation and orbit around the sun. We have no idea or is there anything written indicating how God determines a minute, an hour, a day, a week, so on and so on. So, a day to God may be a billion years to us.

Therefore, I developed my own theory that we were created by Evolution through Intelligent Design. How he did it, I have no idea. There are only two things I know for sure about God, one is that there is a God, and two, I'm not him.

Answer 3

What utter codswallop!

Evolutionists say:
We share a common ancestor with monkeys.
All living creatures are derived from single celled organisms.
Nobody knows what the universe was created from - nothing or otherwise. This is true whether you believe in evolution or not.
Neither God or the process of evolution combined nothing, a monkey and a bacteria. Such a statement is nonsense.

Your reasoning is severly flawed and nothing you have said proves intelligent design. Intelligent design is purely an argument mechanism to counter the theory of evolution. It has no basis in logic or fact.

Answer 4

Dear Windom:
I myself am a Christian, but I believe some accounts of evolution as well. Let me explain a bit of it to you.
God did create the world. He created it and everything in it. He did NOT do it in seven human days.
We began as souls, spirits, if you will. No one ever said evolution means taking parts of one animal and combining them with another. Evolution starts when a single celled animal takes hundreds of years, and with weather and environmental changes, turns into two cells, and so on.
Monkeys and apes come into play because they did esentially come before us. If you look at the DNA of a chimpanzee, their's is 98% the same as our own. There are many, many similarities between us. The reason, when you hear people say, there are still monkeys today, how is that evolving? Well, the 'tree' split off into two sections. Humans, or homosaphiens, and apes. Did you know there are gorrillas that know 1000's of words in sign language? There is obviously a connection there, and to ignore it is pure stupidity, and ignorance. Evoultion and the Bible work quite well together, you just cannot take the Bible literal in many different senses. Do some research, and you will understand.
Thanks.

Answer 5

The bacteria evolved from chemical soup and then through natural selection that single celled organism evolved into primates like apes and monkeys, which are both genetically related to humans, however human evolution branched out from monkeys and apes on the genetic tree along time ago. This genetic family is the primate family.

Answer 6

You are obviously not a person who understands biology or evolution.

Also, you really jump to conclusions by attributing the changing of species to a god. You have no evidence to support that mechanism. However, evidence to support the natural ability of organisms to adapt and become different species has been observed for centuries. Humans have been taking advantage of it in the way of selective breeding. Selective breeding and evolution rely on the same processes. The difference between those two is that one is controlled by humans and the other is controlled by the environment.

You are not going to change science just because you disagree with it. If you want to get rid of the theory of evolution, then come up with a different theory with solid evidence to back it up. Don't rely on stories from an ancient book. Find biological evidence to back up your theory.

Also, a final note. Whenever science and religion have disagreed in the past, science has always turned out to be right.

Answer 7

well, all this drinking is getting me through the day.

CREATIONISTS claim we didn't come from monkeys, therefore evolution must be false.

Here is how it worked:

Bacteria (simplest form of life) evolved into more complex organisms. Eventually, there was an apelike creature that evolved into different things: apes, monkeys, and humans.

However, the creationists are trying very hard to devolve back to that common ancestor, as your question proves.

Answer 8

Is that what people here claim or were they trying to enlighten you to some of the varying theories of evolution? I don't have my own theory and I doubt that you'll find a true "evolutionist" here. There are of course many of us who study the theories of evolution to see the latest developments but you speak of evolution as if it were a religion that someone believes in. It's not. We don't believe in evolution. We look at the studies of evidence that supports evolution and decide whether or not the possible explanations that evolutionists conclude are plausible or not. Nobody is saying you are wrong and evolution is correct. Just that we see a great deal of evidence pointing toward evolution as a plausible explanation of the ascension of the species and no evidence for creationism.

Answer 9

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 10

You're so very funny. LOL, monkey with ape legs and bacterial infection...that's a good joke. That means everything that you wrote, rather evolved during your thought process, up to that point of your rant is funny too, and a good joke.

Love your reasoning...lol.

Too bad you had to spoil it by putting the words "Intelligent Design" and "God" in there. Spoiled it for me, you did.
