Evolution?

Question

if people think evolution is real why did evolution stop all of a sudden? why not keep going on. or did it ever really happen maybe it was meant that monkeys be mans best friend instead of the dog... since monkeys have 99.4% of our genes.... and why is it that just the people we came from(monkeys) died off yet there were animals in the wild that out lived.... i mean because if all of them died off and we just keep evolving where did the other monkeys come from.... and of course how can you say that god isnt real and its just a theory... evolution is just a therory because if they only have 99.4% of our genes what happened to the other. they dont havethe full 100% yet we were evolved from them? we would have everything they had... why dont mokeys have the skills we have today.... we evolved from them so wouldnt they have had to have the talking skill first?

and if you belive in evolution yet u belive in ghost or spirits then ur jus making urself ound like a fool ok so you say we came from monkeys rite what magical power did monkeys have that could turn humans into ghost... u dont ever see monkey spirits. so the facts if we evolved from them we would have the same amount of genes as they do.... and if if every species of monkeys got wiped out for some reason how did they keep coming to continue the evolution species.... and in the bible it talks about there being big monsters referring to dinosours if it wasnt for god how would any one know about them.

and if anyone says everything has a creator... and u saywell what created gd b4 u ask that think about it what created the big bang what created gases... so b4 disprve my theory try to disprove yor wn and say that evehing doesnthave a creator because the theory ur using is just helping mine out.

because of course monkeys didnt have the talking process then so how would they be able to tell about dinosours.... they didnt even have tool making skills yet.

tigris guy dude the simple theory is we evolved from monkeys...what is there not to understand.... and to the second guy dude .6% isnt alot so we would still look completly like monkeys if its only a difference by that much it would have to be around 89.7% to become how we look to them.

Lee s dude who r u calling closed minded looks like its what u belive or no other way and who said i belived in god i was giving a credible source i mean because hey he's just as credible as human evolution there both theorys. jackass.

joan its like this man milns f years ago it wa id that we were caveman exactly 1.5 million years ago. so how did we change from them in this theory well a whole lot if you blive in evolution.... the whole point of this is everytng has a creator i mean if its still going on... why doesnt no one notice it besides on small organisms .... i mean they will always evolize becaus thy are so small i mean yea there is evolution going on rite now and i agree jus not to the ponint of human evolution. like i said b4 people find it hard to belive that we came from god..... adam and eve yet they dont find it hard we came from monkeys. whats upwith that dude. and we became who w are around a million years ago welll its a million years later and were stil the same...

gribblin dude the theory is we evolved from monkeys if u dont know how it happened what is belived is that who w are they hadnt started walking on only two's they were waing on all fours then there ws this major drought in africa that made who we are said to com from a very dried up place with hardly any trees so that made it where monkeys had to start walking on 2's and t 4's because it made it harder to swing from tree to tree so they had to start walking. and then over time there bone stucture changed to help them walk better. and thats the theory.... so dude they were monkeys and incase dont know primates is gorillas and monkeys.

te uy that answeres every question in depth... if god isnt part of the physical universe why does scintist from colloges insist god isnt real and they say the big bang theory proves it. the evolution process... it ties into god some way he is said to create mana him self in his vision ok so does that mean wow god went from a monkey to what we look like now. and the big bang theory is physical science dude. scieintist say they proved it. yet they can decide someting like that from miliion and millionsof miles away yet they cant find aliens in outer space.

Answer 1

>"if people think evolution is real why did evolution stop all of a sudden? why not keep going on.

Evolution hasn't stopped. There are numerous examples of observed evolution going on: like antibiotic resistance in bacteria, pesticide resistance in mosquitoes, and speciation events in fruitflies.

>"and why is it that just the people we came from(monkeys) died off yet there were animals in the wild that out lived.... i mean because if all of them died off and we just keep evolving where did the other monkeys come from"

Monkeys aren't "people" - they are monkeys. And we didn't evolve from monkeys; modern primates and us all evolved from a common ancestor that is now extinct. Some populations evolved into us, and other populations evolved into different primates (chimpanzees, gorillas, etc.). So we and the other primates are different branches on the evolutionary tree.

>"and of course how can you say that god isnt real and its just a theory"

Evolution says nothing about whether God is real. In fact, no aspect of science can make any comment at all on whether God exists, because if He does exist, He does so outside the normal physical universe, and is therefore not open to investigation by science (which is concerned purely with the physical universe).

>"evolution is just a therory

This is a very common statement made by anti-evolutionists, and all it does is show that they have no idea what science is. A scientific theory does not mean "guesswork", it means "an explanation, supported by evidence"! *Everything* in science is "just a theory".

>"we would have everything they had... why dont mokeys have the skills we have today"

Other primates and humans evolved along different paths because we had different evolutionary pressures exerted on us, and evolved different mechanisms for surviving under those pressures. Like I said - we are different branches.

>"what magical power did monkeys have that could turn humans into ghost"

What does this even mean?
Science doesn't deal with the supernatural, so ghosts fall outside its purview in the same way that God does.

>"dinosours if it wasnt for god how would any one know about them."

There are things called fossils. Maybe you've heard of them?

>"what created gd b4 u ask that think about it what created the big bang "

Again - neither of these are questions that science attempts to answer. God is outside the physical universe, and "before the big bang" is *before* the physical universe, so neither can be addressed by scientific investigation.

>"because of course monkeys didnt have the talking process then so how would they be able to tell about dinosours.... they didnt even have tool making skills yet"

Oh .... come on! What the hell are you talking about?
Dinosaurs were unknown until the classification of fossil remains. The first one to be properly classified was the Iguanodon, discovered in 1822 by Gideon Mantell.

>"tigris guy dude the simple theory is we evolved from monkeys

No we didn't. See my first point above.

>"and to the second guy dude .6% isnt alot so we would still look completly like monkeys if its only a difference by that much it would have to be around 89.7% to become how we look to them."

We have 99.4 percent of our DNA in common with chimpanzees. Chimpanzees are not monkeys.
This just means that we share many of the same genes, it doesn't mean that we look the same (obviously).
The protein cytochrome oxidase is highly conserved in all organisms from bacteria to humans. So we share the DNA in common for making that protein. That doesn't make humans bacteria, does it?
Conversely, you have a lot more DNA in common with your father, or your cousins. But you don't look exactly like them, do you? Slight differences in DNA are enough to give radically different appearances within a species, so the greater genetic differences between species causes greater differences in appearance ("phenotype").

Answer 2

Your logic isn't correct - our genes match 99.4% (I'll give you that without verifying) but for a mutation and hence an evolution to occur, some genes must change. If we ahd 100% monkey genes, we'd be monkeys. Same is true on a less dramatic scale - look at the different breeds of dogs. They are mostly the same genetically, but they have some genetic differences otherwise there would be just one breed. Poodles are certainly different than St. Bernards and it is the small difference in genetics that makes the breeds different.

The differences are more dramatic between species, but again, evolution doesn't demand a total re-write of a successful genetic sequence, just selective editing. Remember, genes mutate for a number of reasons - error in replication, exposure to radiation (yes, we dosed just from walking around the surface of the earth), exposure to chemicals both natural and man-made, etc. The mutations that permit an organism to survive better are passed along through breeding, the ones that don't fall out fo the gene pool because either the mutation kills the organism, or the organism fails to procreate.

Now this is a slow process and, depending on the complexity of the organism, can require thounds or years. We see evolution on shorter time scales with batreia - single celled organisms. Look at all teh anti-biotic resistant strains fo bacteria that have evolved over the last 50 years. The one strain of flesh eating staph made the news last month because it is drug resistant - it didn't start out that way, but somewhere along the line, some of the staph bacteria mutated to become more resistant to drugs. Since this improved the survival of the organism, the trait was passed on and the staph evolved. It isn't a new specie, but it is evolution.

Whether god is real or not, Laplace summed it up best. When he presented his work on celestial mechanics to Napoleon, Napoleon asked why god was not mentioned in Laplace's work (it was the custom in the early 1800's to ascribe science to god in scientific papers) and Laplace replied "I have no need of that hypothesis".

Answer 3

a million) According to evolutionists, Humans advanced from apes? Humans are apes by means of definition. Linnaeus labeled us as such and he used to be a creationist. two) There are many validated details in technological know-how, however evolution is only a thought. False because of a false impression of the phrase thought. A truth, in technological know-how, is a discrete factor of expertise. Theories attach details and provide an explanation for them. There isn't any better class than thought. three) A transitional style is a fossil of an animal that's side one species and side one other. False. All organisms are transitional. four) The age of the earth is located by means of scientists entirely via the radioactive relationship of fossils ? The age of the Earth used to be located by means of relationship a meteor at the assumption that the Solar System used to be the entire equal age. All different calculations have compatibility the age located. five) The clinical system starts with a prediction after which appears for proof to aid that prediction? It starts with commentary. Then a speculation is shaped from that commentary. After the speculation is shaped, scientists seem for proof to aid or falsify the speculation. 6) The thought of evolution involves the Big Bang? False. 7) To suppose in evolution is to suppose that existence and subject got here from not anything? False.

Answer 4

I won't try to answer the mish mash of illogical questions in your whole writing, but just the first question. If you can get past that, perhaps you will be able to start to see clearly how evolution works.

Evolution has not stopped. It is going on every day every time any organism survives and reproduces more than some other organism. Human lives are very short in comparison to the time it takes for evolution to be visible so it is hard to see that it is happening today and every day. Think: how many generations of ancestors do you have in the last million years? And, how might they have changed over that time? Think: we hear every day about some new bacteria that is now anti-biotic resistant. That is evolution in action. New anti-biotics kill 99.99% of the organisms causing a disease. But, .01% survive and go on to thrive (in absense of competition from anti-biotic suseptable organisms) and reproduce a few billion more anti-biotic resistant bacteria.

If you are serious in your questions, try to start with understanding small parts of how evolution works and don't condem the whole theory with poorly thought out ideas.

Answer 5

1. evolution did not stop it's still going on. People who are educated about evolution do not think it stopped. There are examples about species still evolving these days.

2. look through this list
http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/dont_use.asp
there are answers to a number of questions which even creationists say are not a argument against evolution. several of your questions will be answered there. In particular you should only say "evolution is just a theory" if you want to appear uneducated.

Monkeys don't have our skills because they don't live in our ecological niche. Look up what a ecological niche is if you don't understand that.

Generally I have to say from your questions you have a very confused and inaccurate view of evolutionary theory. No wonder it doesn't make sense to you. You will have to do a lot more studying in biology before you get anywhere close to the evolutionary theory which is generally accepted.
You also should try to achieve a clear and lucid writing style.

Answer 6

You are another example of a closed minded individual putting zero effort into educating yourself and wasting others time. You have no basis for your arguments and your logic in completely incorrect. You have less to stand on then the fantasy driven bible in which you believe.

Answer 7

I just wanted to point out that we are not descended from monkeys. There are NO monkeys in our lineage. Apes and monkeys diverged before they were apes or monkeys.

Answer 8

i agree with you in my biology class we have to learn about evolution and i completly disagree with evolution i believe people were created by god but i guess people can believe what they want to because they think creation by god isnt true i guess that lets them believe in something instead of nothing but i still dont understand how monkeys are still here why arnt they still changing into people i believe that if it where true there would be no mokeys
