Evolutionists are telling us that we came from ape and after billion of years in the process we became man.
They also told us that in the begining, life forms in earth originated from bacteria that leaves in the water and transformed into another life form and so on until the multitude of living species evolved.
Evolutionists also tell us that EVOLUTION is CONSTANT CHANGE.., now, my question is WHAT EXACTLY WILL BE OUR CONFIGURATION AFTER ONE BILLION YEARS AHEAD IF THERE IS CONSTANT CHANGE? is evolution a fact or a lie?

First, your description is so full of errors that it is clear that you have rejected a theory you don't even *begin* to understand.

For example, your use of "billion years" shows that you have no real concept of the kind of time involved.

To put this in perspective, all of multicellular life ... animals, plants, fungi, ... *together* occupies about a billion years of evolution. To say that the evolution of humans from apes took a billion years is to advertise quite loudly, that you really really don't understand this stuff *AT ALL*. Million, billion, it's just all the same to you?

Second, our ability to understand the past is *NOT* measured by our ability to predict the future.

That's not just science ... that is just basic common sense.

Do you challenge historians to predict what will happen even 200 years in the future? If they fail to predict events in the year 2207, do you then conclude that their understanding of events of 1807 is a *lie*?

All you do with posts like this is illustrate the kind of head-in-the-sand, cover your eyes and ears, approach to science for which creationists are so well known.

Since we do not know what the enviromental pressures will be between now and a billion years in the future, no-one could possibly tell you.
A billion years ago, there were no humans. In fact, the first "human-like" organisms didn't arrive until around 2 million years ago (ie 1/500th of a billion years ago). 1 billion years ago was around when the very first multicellular organisms of any sort were evolving: they resembled things like jellyfish or primitive algae-like plants.

So a billion years from now all life on earth is likely to be *very* different from what it is now. Countless species will have evolved and become extinct in between now and then. In fact, the species "Homo sapiens" is exceptionally unlikely to still be around; distant descendants of humans may well be, but no-one could possibly guess what they would be like.


And to answer your final question: evolution is not a lie, it is both a fact and a theory. Populations of organisms change over time; this is evolution, and has been observed many times, both in the lab and in nature. How this gives rise to the vast diversity of organisms currently existing (and that existed previously) is a theory; however, it is a widely-accepted, well-supported, and scientifically sound theory.

Hmmm. Considering that the oldest primate fossils are less than 5 million years old, dinosaur fossils are less than 250 million years old, and considering that you want to know about something a billion year from now, the answer is impossible to predict.

Will the march toward more complex multi-cellular life forms continue? Or are we on a bell shaped curve? Is this the apex, and now we begin the slide back to single cell organisms?

The assumption that human beings will survive is not necessarily warranted. One rock can wipe out this little mub ball, and all of the inhabitants.

If humans do survive the next 995 million years what will we look like? Following trends from the oldest primate fossil to the current human we might extrapolate certain changes in our bodies. Using this trend analysis would probably lead us astray. We could conclude that since the average height has doubled in 5 million years then it should continue to do so. Our ancestors would then be 12' tall in just another 5 million years. I don't know about you, but this sounds silly to me.

Will we need corporeal bodies for existance, or will we have evolved to beings that can exist as matter/energy converters that don't need a body?

As far as evolution being a fact, or a lie, I suggest that you make up your own mind about that. Our understanding of evolution is, if you will pardon the pun, still evolving. We learn new things practically every day that cause us to re-evaluate what was previously accepted as fact.

since the beginning the history of human nature it tells that human being came from so and so that's history if the historian tells the truth or not we still believe the fact that a certain person came from an ape or as from the matter . Will in fact 1 billion maybe this earth we live is existing or not we can see or say that the main answer is we will just guest.

If it's true then, it's still 21 chromosomes but some changes in skin and other body structures would be evident. "Some organism" in a billion years for some billion impossibilities that a question like this would still be linking on a billion years to the 21 chromosomes of the person asking the question!

A common misconception is that we evolved from apes. We didn't both humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor.

No animal or species has survived for a billion years. There are mass extinctions fairly regularly and we would be very lucky to survive the next one. If we do and we manage to survive one billion years, we would be completely unrecognisable by todays standards. We would have evolved to fit into the world as it is in a billion years time.

We can't possible imagine how the world would be in a billion years and therefore can't imagine what we would look like.

Billions of years? Get a grip...who knows if the world will exist after that time. Evolution is a fact. It's mechanisms are theories. More than half of biology is based on the assumption that evolution happens. Don't knock evolution unless you knock most of biology.

Your question is full of misinformation. Do you even know the difference between a million and a billion? It would seem not. The common ancestors of chimpanzees and humans lived about 3-5 million (not billion) years ago.

Who knows. The future isn't just something we can predict. The only thing we can say is that with travel being available to most people we will probably becomes a more homogenous race rather than several different races.

Besides, evolution isn't about /constant/ change, it's about change when environmental pressures flex their muscles.

This is an easy one. If the world gets too hot, we've proven that we can survive it because the "Cradles of Civilization" were in hot, dry areas. If the world gets cold, then we've already proven that we can withstand ice ages, and that's without any "high" technology. If the world gets overpopulated, it will, out of necessity, balance itself out. I don't think we need to worry about surviving the next 100 years. The real question is how to we keep the next 100 years from becoming the next Dark Age.
