Question:
Apes and the evolution theory?

It has been said that Africa was the starting place for mankind.

I personally don't believe it but if this was true, why are apes still native to Africa?

Wouldn't they have been quicker to evolve being the first in the running?

If man came from apes, why are there still apes.

See all the inconsistencies that atheists preach?

Let us cut through all this nonsense and get to the facts. The definition of evolution is constantly changing to keep the theory alive. It is not evolving into more veracity but less. The facts are that there is no transitional fossil evidence to support evolution. Why? There is no argument to explain away this fact.



Today the argument for evolution in its most modern incarnation is that it is an adaptation through mutations. This can be scientifically proven and we know that this is a predictable occurrence rather than a random event in science. the calculation of these regularly occurring events is called the allele frequency. Still no transitional fossils.



There never has been evidence of one species becoming another but instead only predictable changes in a particular species to adapt to its environment, an improvement , if you will, but certainly far from becoming another species. Someday with the advancement of science the theory of evolution will join all those other scientific follies like alchemy and astrology as a history of sciences errors based on human arrogance and ignorance. God bless!

Evolution is not a Ladder, nothing evolves to a higher level.



Evolution is like a tree, it branches out into new species while the main branch continues on.



All animals on earth are equally evolved.



We share a common ancestor with apes, the ancestor had some offspring one of those offspring continues the lineage to modern apes, the other broke off and started the lineage that lead to humans.



You fail to understand Evolution at a fundamental level.



And please learn a Theory before you try and attack it!





"The Nasty Pussycat Dolls Suck!!!" - All life on this planet shares the same DNA, our second chromosome is a fusion of two ape chromosomes.



Your information is flawed.

1. Evolution is a "theory" because in science, "theory" means it can be tested, proven with mathematics, supported by logic, or some other such support. It does not mean it is supposition. The scientific word for supposition is "hypothesis". Is it called "the hypothesis of evolution?" No.



2. Refusing to believe in scientific theory does not invalidate the theory. You can refuse to believe in gravity too if you like, but it will still be there. (And yes, universal gravitation is a theory, in scientific terms, but only a fruitcake would argue it is wrong.)



3. You show the most common misunderstanding of evolution. The argument has never been that we evolved FROM apes, less so that we evolved from the apes of today, but that we evolved WITH them side by side, likely from a common ancestor.



btw, Charles Darwin was not an atheist, therefore the idea that anyone who accepts evolution is an atheist is utter bunkum.

This question is just off the top of your head I guess. You don't know anything about evolution and even less about apes.

Apes are Christian, they are part of God's creation, they have a soul and a fallen nature.

I'm a Christian and study Scripture, but I need the help of scholars and theologians to understand God's revealed word. If it was important for the ancients to include a ape in Genesis he would of been there.

However as we all know including those atheists people the earth is approximately 4.55 billion years old. Many things had changed since Moses scratched out his epic books nearly 6 thousand years ago.

Sure.

Why not?

Look in the real world.

Are we sure we are on planet earth?

Sure it's not "Planet of apes"

"I was born an ape-man"

When living human kind were living in the zoo.

Passing by the zoo in time passing them bananas.

Being an ape -man .

Make a monkey out of the cave-men with club on the shoulder from the twilight zone in moving backwards in time in different time zone.

Getting themselves kick on the butts as casualty of the dead Mummy in kicking the butts of God in not worshipping God in time.

Luke 6.39-40,41-45,46-49

What do you think?

There aren't inconsistencies. There is no reason that apes should not exist if humans had a common ancestor with them.



If God made people from dirt, why's there still dirt?

I see the straw man arguments and stereotyping YOU preach, but no, I fail to see the inconsistencies, or the preaching.



Just so you know, apes evolved WITH us. We share a common ancestor with them. They went one way, we went another. There are still apes because that's how they've evolved, whereas we evolved a different way.



How do you know that apes aren't as different from our common ancestor as we are? All sources indicate that this is exactly how it is.



Well, all sources, except your incredibly inconsistent bible...



Maybe you should actually learn something about the science you try to refute BEFORE you make yourself look as foolish as you just did.





Atheistically yours,

humans and apes share a common ancestor that lived 5 to 7 million years ago, and are now extinct.



i suggest you read a book, other than the bible, before you ask any more stupid questions.



also; the meaning of a scientific theory - it has facts and evidence supporting the theory. therefore, the evolution theory has evidence and facts supporting it.

Men did NOT came from apes, they do have an common evolutionary origin...

How can you say about inconsistencies in evolutionary theory/??

You don't even know it well

And evolution is not an atheist theory, it is science!

That is close to the silliest argument against Evolution I have ever heard. It is like saying, "If we have cars why are there still bicycles"?

I suggest you read some basic stuff on Evolution and Natural Selection before you try to ask questions like that again or you will just look foolish.

Mutations are how apes and humans still exist together.

i read recently that the apes and humans don't share the same dna.

and i read some where on this site that they share dna to rats.people are always making theories about things but, eventually the results end up wrong . Humans didn't come from apes! if we came from apes we would look like apes! there's still animals that have been around since the earth has been around look the same!(what i heard) Apes are still here and they don't look a darn thing like humans!

here's a link-->

You have much to learn glass hopper have you not heard of mutations.



Wow, does the guy above me lead an exiting life look at the points. Wow

First, evolution is a theory because we can't be sure that it is true, we just think it's true (Like Christians and the Bible). Second, you really need to understand evolution, it's that mutations that can benefit your life will survive, so some apes mutated and others didn't, that's why there are both of us alive.
