Athiests, why you haven't answered me yet?

Question

I asked you if we came from monkeys or apes or primates, why do they still exist?

Dont drink and pass out everytime, it only proves you are ignorant.

Answer 1

I dont believe man is related to primates, I know i have some fuzzy relatives, but were all gods children

This is a fundamentalist and creationist website listing arguments that creationists should NOT use. For those who don't want to wade through this it says:

In response to this statement, some evolutionists point out that they don’t believe that we descended from apes, but that apes and humans share a common ancestor. However, the evolutionary paleontologist G.G. Simpson had no time for this “pussyfooting,” as he called it. He said, “In fact, that earlier ancestor would certainly be called an ape or monkey in popular speech by anyone who saw it. Since the terms ape and monkey are defined by popular usage, man’s ancestors were apes or monkeys (or successively both). It is pusillanimous [mean-spirited] if not dishonest for an informed investigator to say otherwise.”

However, the main point against this statement is that many evolutionists believe that a small group of creatures split off from the main group and became reproductively isolated from the main large population, and that most change happened in the small group which can lead to allopatric speciation (a geographically isolated population forming a new species). So there’s nothing in evolutionary theory that requires the main group to become extinct.

It’s important to note that allopatric speciation is not the sole property of evolutionists—creationists believe that most human variation occurred after small groups became isolated (but not speciated) at Babel, while Adam and Eve probably had mid-brown skin color. The quoted erroneous statement is analogous to saying “If all people groups came from Adam and Eve, then why are mid-brown people still alive today?”

So what’s the difference between the creationist explanation of people groups (“races”) and the evolutionist explanation of people origins? Answer: the former involves separation of already-existing information and loss of information through mutations; the latter requires the generation of tens of millions of “letters” of new information.

PS: This the second time I've posted this same answer to this same silly question:(

Answer 3

You're misinterpreting Evolutionary theory. It's not that we evolved from Apes. What happens is that at some point a species forms reproductive groups which eventually become so different from each other that they are no longer the same species.

Chimpanzees are our closest biological relative, but it's not that chimps evolved into humans. Evolution never stops, chimps have been evolving on their own as long as we have. But somewhere, way back in time we were both a single species that divided and differentiated. In Human evolution a big aspect of this was Bipedalism (walking on two legs) which freed the use of the hands.

Chimps evolved separate characteristics, such as being better suited for climbing and living in an arboreal habitat.

Read Glen Conroy's 'Reconstructing Human Origins' if you want a more detailed explanation.

I hope that helps. Also, I'm sorry that your previous questions on this matter went unanswered.

Answer 4

I would think you've heard the answer to this question a million times. Are you just ignoring the answers until someone tells you what you want to hear?

They still exist because they evolved along different lines than we did. We share a common ancestor with them, an ancestor that was neither ape nor human, but a much more primitive species than either.
The families branched off, and one branch eventually evolved into modern apes, and the other eventually evolved into modern humans.

For more detail than this, you'll have to go to a science website that can explain it in better detail.

Answer 5

Well, for starters; we didn't evolve from Apes. WE are more closely related to Chimps actually. 98ish% of our DNA is the same.

Evolution works on a simple principal: mistakes. DNA copies itself millions of times and make the occasional mistake. IF the mistake makes the creature successful; it breeds and passes on that mistake. If not for those mistakes, bacteria would not have even evolved. We'd be chains of proteins and amino acids.

Since multiple things might work; different species emerge from one. So the first creature to develop an opposable thumb had an advantage, and the thumb changed and became more useful to do certain things, and more species emerge.

If you want evidence for evolution on a tiny, short-term scale (50,000 years or so is small in evolutionary terms). Look at races of people- dark skin is the original color! As people moved out of africa; it was advantageous for the group to have lighter skin. So the further you went away from the equator, the lighter skinned the people, because that trait was even more heavily selected. Meaning that we white people are the mutants, the freaks, and if you believe in divine creation- we are not in God's original form of mankind. The Africans are. For it is that area where the first people were. God's chosen people, the Jews are olive-skinned for the most part; it is those who fled further away and interbred who are lighter.

And you also have to remember when randomly making mistakes, how often do you make the same one twice? Think of the lottery: there are only a few choices. Once chromosome has millions of genes, which has millions of DNA molecules. Its already a 1 in 1,000,000,000,000 chance of something happening once on that level- what's the odds it will happen exactly the same again?

Answer 6

(In order to get a serious answer to any question the question has certain requirements.

It cannot be confusingly stated.
It cannot be so naive (stupid) as to render an answer part of the ignorance and misinformation contained in the question.
You want to avoid forcing the answerer to buy into misassumptions such those expressed in your question.
(example)
If a Ford is always faster then a Porsche, why is it that Porsches are so expensive? One hopes that the misconception in this sentence is Prima facie.

More importantly, if you are going to debate a subject the first rules is to learn as much as possible about the...subject.

If you will follow this rule regarding the subject of Evolution, you will not only be prepared to discuss the subject without sounding like an 8 th grader who really likes church, you will almost certainly be much less prone to disallow the proven concept.

Glad I could help!

Answer 7

*drink*

Can you see how a mouse and a rat are related? Is it hard to imagine that they had a common ancestor? There is a 10% difference in the DNA structure of a rat and a mouse.

Humans and apes also have only a 10% difference in their DNA structures. Man did not evolve from monkey's. This was a willful attempt by the press of the time to discredit Darwin. What he actually said was that we shared a common ancestor.

Now, my question to you. If my sperm came from me, why do I still exist?

Answer 8

We have answered this on this forum 2987309238754 times, you just have a selectively permeable brain. I will however, make it 2987309238755.

Apes and humans came from a common ancestor dating about 7 million years ago. This ancestor soon gave rise to multiple separate lineages, including apes and humans. We didn't come from apes, per se, but came from a common ancestor. The whole "coming from apes" deal is just a simplification of it. So yes, we did come from a primate, and of course primates are still around, because "Primate" is a biological order.

Answer 9

"yet hear evolution dosent exist" we've pronounced it happening. in spite of why or the way it happens all of us be attentive to that species exchange by way of the years, so no. additionally, this has no longer something to do with atheism " from the enormous Bang concept we could start up, how can no longer something grow to be something?" Who says something did? and regardless of if i can't answer that, so what? the enormous bang concept has no longer something to do with atheism. "even a toddler comes from a egg and sperm. how can a functionality in a physique tell what it quite is meant to do? such perfection contained in the physique that without it u r achieved..do no longer say it purely is or **** u r purely idiots because of the fact u can't clarify it" If human bodies have been appropriate we does not get issues like maximum cancers, we does not want necessary organs bumped off or replace,d there does not be delivery defects, and so on and so on. purely positioned we're not appropriate.

Answer 10

Because no one (except for those who do not understand science) say that man evolved from monkeys. Monkeys, apes, and man all evolved from the same animal. It is that simple. Millions of years ago you had an animal. Some of its numbers evolved one way and became apes. Some of its numbers evolved a different way and became human. Humans did not descend from apes.


Plus, I would like a link to show that you asked this question in the first place and no one was able to give you this answer.

Answer 11

My normal response would be to tell you to ask this in the SCIENCE section.

However, just to be nice. Evolution depends on a combination of isolation and environmental pressure. The monkies living in asia didn't have the same pressures as the ones in africa, hence asian monkeys are different from african monkeys.

Not that you even took the time to read that, but, if you did, I hope you understand that your understanding of evolution is very flawed and you should read more on the subject.
