Evolutionists, how do u explain this?

Question

1. If we evolved from apes, then why are apes still around?

2. And why aren't they evolving into humans???

3. Where's that "missing link"? Still looking for it? lol

4. Why do yall have to pull so many hoaxes? Like the Piltdown man (an oragutan jaw and human skull), the Nebraska Man (a single pig tooth), the Ota Benga (and African Native put into a cage)...

We didn't evolve from apes, eh? Read this:

Answer 1

Atheism like Evolutionism is only a theoretical conviction at best,at worst it is the height of human stupidity.

Answer 2

I'd try researching evolution so you have at least an idea about what you're talking about, your level of questioning needs evolving to say the least.
1. We share a common ancestor with the ape species alive today and did not evolve from them.
2. They evolved into themselves from our common ancestor. Obviously due to different environmental pressures.
3. There's been many missing links found, but to fill the fossil record of 3 billion years, there will always be more.
4. The Piltdown man was a hoax by an Dawson in 1912, reasons were nationalistic and probably a racial bias. In those days such things were easier to pull off, but now every new find is rigorously questioned by other scientists. Just look at the debate over Homo Floresiensis. As to Nebraska Man and Ota Benga, I image its a similar story.

Read it, complete rubbish, try reading about Habilis, Erectus, etc from a non bias site like wiki.

Answer 3

1. If we evolved from apes, then why are apes still around?

Why shouldn't they be, while there are still jungles?

2. And why aren't they evolving into humans???

They can see what we're like! Seriously, they could do, under the right conditions.

3. Where's that "missing link"? Still looking for it? lol

No. We have a pretty complete progression and, and it gets better every decade or so.

4. Why do yall have to pull so many hoaxes?

That's only the publicity seekers. Humour them.

Answer 4

If this is a joke, it is not funny the 10,000th time. If this is serious, then I must take a few seconds to keep myself from blowing up and screaming about how people need to know basic 8th grade science....okay

1. We didn't evolve from monkeys, moot argument.
2. see answer 1
3. there are many, many transitional fossils between humans and our common ancestor to apes. There is no missing link. That was a term made up by creationists as propaganda.
4. See answer 3. Scientists have found hundreds of fossils that aren't "hoaxes". And the bible fits all the criteria of a hoax.

Answer 5

Why are you such an embarrassment to Christians like me who actually do have an education?

1: Because there were insufficient pressures on other ape-like populations to render them extinct. Contrary to what ignorant morons believe, evolution is NOT always a "replacement" of one species by another. Ever hear of "adaptive radiation", or is that too many letters for you to handle in two words at a time?

2: Because the same evolutionary pressures that produced humans aren't around at the moment. Evolution is an ad hoc process, there is no dimwitted, brain-dead, flat-out stupid single outcome posited for it, as anyone with at least two firing neurons would realize.

3: Already been listed by other people. Too bad you're such an ignorant embarrassment to me and all other Christians who actually can read without moving our lips.

4: Those hoaxes were pulled by Creationists.

Answer 6

1) we actually are classified as an ape, so really what you are saying here is "if humans come from humans, how come humans are still around" geez, there is more than 1 type of ape, we at some point came from a common ancestor, which as a species moved (as animals tend to do) into different kinds of areas of the world, jungle, open plains and so on, natural selection meant that those that were not as well adapted did not get to pass on genes, which meant that the strongest survived, and got to pass on their genes, meaning that those best adapted for jungle would have long arms and huge strengh to swing from branch to branch, those that inhabit areas where brain power was needed meant the brainy passed on their genes and as only brainy genes became available over time, only brainy ones could be passed on (it seems to everyone except you)

2) they ain't evolving into humans for a number of reasons; they ain't genetically identical to us, only 98.4% so the geneoum isn't there, and you must bear in mind that evolution is "the non random survival of RANDOMALLY occuring replicators" so the odds of them become more like humans is slim particually if they are well adapted to their enviroment and we dont' force them to drasically change

3) im personally not looking for it, have you lot found the arc yet? how about the garden of eden? or god? seen him around latley? found any proof yet? no didn't think so on the other hand we don't have all the links but we can see a definate time line which you seem to be sticking your fingers in ears and singing. radiological evidence, geological evidence, carbon dating, the abilty to look at DNA - all the greatest minds support evolution, whoops, is that a bit much?

4) personally i've never set up a hoax, and you know i've never seen any christian hoaxes, cough!

oh and just so you know, the world is 4.5 billion years old,

chow

Answer 7

1) We didn't. We evolved from ape-LIKE creatures that lived millions of years ago.
2) The evolutionary tree broke into two branches. One being the apes, the other the humans. Neither of us are more evolved. ALL creatures are as evolved as the others because we're all best adapted to our own climates and locations.
3) WE'RE ALL transitional creatures. There's no such thing as a missing link.
4) People like power -- it's that simple. And mass delusion, even in the scientific community, can happen.

Answer 8

Duh ... we didn't evolve from apes! (Have you noticed apes are still around?) No scientist has ever made such a ludicrous claim. Humans evolving from apes is one of the silly ideas invented by fundamentalist Christians in an attempt to make science look silly. But of course to any educated person they just make themselves look silly. But then you aren't getting your "information" from scientific sources, are you? Apes are currently evolving, just as we are - but they are not evolving into humans now any more than they did in the past.

As for hoaxes, there have been hundreds of hoaxes in the art world for every one in science. Does that invalidate true art in your opinion?? And true scientists have quickly uncovered and debunked all such hoaxes, making sure the perpetrators never worked in science again. The sole purpose of science is to discover truth, and scientists will not tolerate those who violate the very essence of science by intentionally presenting false data.

Answer 9

1. We did not evolve from apes.

2. We never evolved from apes

3. http://www.onelife.com/evolve/manev.html

4. When you read all the evolutionary evidence in total and have your facts completely straight, then, and only then, should you comment on anythign. Just because someone else said it doesn't mean you believe it. YOu have to research your arguments for yourself thoroughly before you can have a valid argument against it.

I assure you as an atheist that I know more about the Bible and Christian beliefs than most Christians. Know your facts.

Answer 10

Humans are apes, a product of evolution, descended from other, earlier apes. Our closest relatives are chimpanzees, and the most recent common ancestor of both humans and chimpanzees was approximately 6 million years ago.

The way to understand our origins is to remember that living organisms are in a state of constant change - It's not that evolution *can* occur, but that it *must* occur, simply because there is no mechanism in living organisms to ensure perfect, flawless reproduction for ever.

Suppose you could study a population of chimpanzees in the jungle, on a timescale of millions of years. Clearly, each individual only lives a few decades, so the population is constantly being succeeded by individuals which are different from their parents, because reproduction is imperfect - and remember, this is *inevitable*. It can't *not* happen. All the time this population is inter-breeding, the genes are getting mixed together, and only genes which work well with all other chimpanzee genes will tend to get passed down to successive generations (because individuals with genes that don't work well together will tend not to survive and reproduce).

However, suppose that circumstances arise which cause a group to become genetically isolated from other chimpanzees. This could be as a result of an accident of geography (e.g. an impassable river) or breeding preference or simply great distance. There will develop two distinct groups of chimpanzees which can never again exchange genes, because they have become different enough that mating will not produce viable offspring. This is what biologists define as speciation - i.e. the population has forever split into two distinct groups. Biologists have observed many instances of speciation, so there is no doubt that it occurs.

Assuming that both groups continue to survive, it is again *inevitable* that they will diverge genetically - There is no possible way that both groups, isolated and independent from each other, can change in exactly the same ways, and the longer they continue to breed, the more different they will become. Over millions of years, given that the rate of genetic change via mutation tends to remain fairly constant, the two groups will become as distinct as today's chimpanzees and humans are from each other, and from their most recent common ancestor.

All this is based on what we *know* is true - it's not supposition or guesswork, and remember it's not just possible, it absolutely *has* to happen, because there is no mechanism in biology to make reproduction a 100% perfect, flawless process.

NB: The reason we're classed as apes is that there is no valid way to group all the other apes together that doesn't also apply to humans. In other words, whatever criteria you use to define what is an ape, in order to include chimpanzees, gorillas, orangs and gibbons, humans will also fit those criteria. Indeed, chimpanzees are more closely related to humans than to gorillas, and gorillas are more closely related to humans and chimpanzees than they are to orangs, so any classification that separated humans out from those other apes would not make any sense.

Answer 11

Yes and Haeckle was a fraud who tried to falsify his embryology charts and Darwin based his theory on those charts.Did you know that Darwinism has not done a single thing for medicine or science.We get those nuts who claim that viruses have gone resistant to anti-biotics as proof of Darwinism. Why ,I ask haven't poultry chickens gone resistant to KFC or being served on the dinner table?
You know you are a winner by the amount of ad hominems.
Bebe You are a Christian but you believe in Darwinism?
Hoosier Daddy let me get this straight :you are a Christian who regards a God that did not create you?
Your arrogance embarrasses me.The least you could have done as a Christian is correct somebody.You must be genetically related to Judas.
