How is it that people on R&S are still using that arguement? Fellow evolutionists, I don't think we're doing our job well enough to inform these people that we didn't evolve from apes.

I think that they hear what we are saying, but they refuse to listen to it. Every post that is left regarding man coming from apes and apes still being here has a response that tells the people on R & S what the theory states. But then 1/2 hour later, another question is asked with the same argument. If they refuse to listen, they will never learn. Its just too tough to educate a closed mind.

We have still yet to see any evidence of one species becoming another. Variations in the same species doesn't equate to evolution. For all we know at this stage is that those variations are preprogrammed in the DNA as possible variations. Mixing of DNA may make a new type of dog, but it is still a dog. So, even if a complex single cell organism managed to spontaneously form with perfect parts one time or even a thousand times, it wouldn't account for the wonderful variety of life here on Earth.

Apes did not become human apes and man came from a common ancestor. It split giving us the two branch's of the primate family. Just like there was one that cause birds and modern day reptiles. What people do not under stand evolution was born in the mind of the one great power. Because we evolved dose not mean we were not made by our maker.One dose not preclude the other.

I thought we are apes (great apes - along with gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees...) and what we evolved from, on occasion, were apes too (homo erectus, homo habilis etc).
And to common sense, just because we evolved from monocytes over millions of years, it doesn't follow that all monocytes must have therefore become extinct. That would be like saying, just because our language might have evolved from sanskrit, therefore everyone must speak English. On the contrary, I studied Sanskrit when I was a Buddhist - some people still speak it.

Maybe they should watch "Inherit The Wind".
The theory says that man and apes evolved from a common ancestor, not one from the other.

All of those asking that same ignorant question are kids who never read the work that they ridicule . From the spelling and grammar that some of them use , I would suggest they don't read anything beyond Little Red Riding Hood .

Let's just start by getting them to understand that humans ARE apes.

because apes can walk upright and enjoy a banana split sundae with moschino cherry just like humans do.

Maybe you should clearly understand what evolution is before asking questions.
