You should probably do more research on evolution before you start trying to argue against it. If you had done so, you would have known that this question has no basis because what you have described is not evolution.

People believe in evolution because it is observable, and it's the only *scientific* theory to explain where we came from.

You can attribute the mechanisms which allow species to change over time to God if you like - evolution and Christianity are not mutually exclusive. However, it is a fact that species change over time to better suit their environment and to ensure the survival of the species. There is an enormous amount of evidence to support this fact, and quite frankly, no credible evidence against it.

You don't understand the theory very well, and I don't think I'm reaching to say that you probably don't understand your religion as well as you should, either, since most people in my experience do not (certainly young ones like you as your grammatical skills would suggest).

Read the bible. Read a biology book. Realize that the two do not necessarily contradict each other. Be informed. Be happy.

Because its true, and why not, God can do anything he wanted whats 4.5 billion years to an eternal being. I personally think its pretty creative (no pun intended) to make people starting with microbes 4 billion years ago, now that's Godlike. As for half monkey and half human, what do you think a chimp is. Thats like asking for a half bear and half dolphin (they have the same ancestry). From the way you wrote your question I'm assuming your very young, at first I thought you were pulling my leg.

I don't think you've got the concept down quite right. Humans and other primates (we're primates) had a common ancestor millions of years ago. We're actually closer to great apes genetically (such as chimpanzees, gorillas, etc.) than monkeys.

Genetically, chimpanzees are our closest relatives as a species, sharing 98 percent of the same genetic makeup with us. I'm guessing you're aware that some tiny genetic changes make for a neat variety within species--in this case, it continues going until you have two, three, even more separate species.

Don't let your religion be an excuse for ignorance. There are many Christians who are well educated and know about evolution.

a very sad attempt to dispute evolution. We've evolved from Apes, not monkeys. It is possible for the two to split off aside. We've adapt to reason and logic, therefore we're human beings with sense of knowledge and reason.

Evolution theorizes that we did not evolve from current monkeys but from common primate ancestors.

Please at least do some preliminary research before asking questions of this sort?

It's obvious that the only thing you know about evolution is the nonsense your pastor has been babbling about. Go do some research on your own. Also in looking at your question I would suggest you go back to school. Your spelling and sentence structure is horrible, almost unreadable and undecipherable.

What are you, 10 years old? You sound like you've never sat down in a biology class in your life. My god, what is wrong with people these days? I doubt you'll ever go to college with that spelling and grammer. Reading that question was similar to having a gorilla rip off my ears and stick needles in my eyes.

Read and understand the Theory of Evolution... Then you can ask an intelligent question rather than continue making a fool of yourself..

Anyone who spends even a little time studying science can't help coming to the conclusion that evolution is the truth. Read a book or two, honey, it will change your life.
