Quote# 43029

Atheist,why are you more comfy in believing that humans evolve from monkey rather than believing the concept?
of GOD create human. If human does evolve from monkey or ape, what happen to the other ape, why they fail to become human. So meaning that when you look at Chimp, Orang Utan, Gorilla and etc it reflect your ancestor and it reflect you. And how many million years of evolution does it takes for those ape/monkey to evolve into a modern human

Orang utans, chimps, and gorillas are all smarter than you. Think about that. The primate house at your local zoo has a highr IQ than your fundie church. I noticed you call yourself Jedi sapien. Is that because you don't want to call yourself "homo" sapien?

We evolved as a member of the family of ape, seperately, like all other species of primate. Evolution is like a very large tree with many many branches. We are just a branch from a common ancestor, get it? Other primate species evolved seperately from us.

Do you really want to understand? Are you really intersted in the truth? Then do research evolution. Find out what it really is, not just what creationists tell you. I guarantee you'll come to a new understanding of it and see that it is very well supported.

Basically it's small mutations adding up over a large period of time. The mutations that are most useful will survive best, and increase in the gene pool. Part of evolution is random (mutation): part of it is not (selection or survival based on environment, or what gets passed on most successfully in reproduction).

Let me just point out here that mutation does not necessarily mean bad, but just CHANGE. It's just a change that occurs-that's all. Sometimes the change is detrimental, sometimes it's not, sometimes it's actually beneficial. Think about it: why must mutation always be detrimental? It's just a CHANGE. That's all. It may be beneficial or not. Natural selection determines what mutations multiply in the gene pool and which do not.

Evolution is the best supported theory in science. And by the way, a theory in technical or scientific terms means a structure of facts which form an explanation of something. If it's not well supported by a lot of evidence, it will not become a theory. We have the theory of gravity and the theory of relativity for example. See http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/evolution-fact.html "Evolution is a Fact and a Theory" for more on this.

The fossil record is rich with evidence that evolution has in fact happened, whether people want to believe it or not. The whole field of biology wouldn't make sense without evolution. You can thank the field of evolution for our medical knowledge. Every field of science supports evolution.

You've been duped by people with an agenda to keep people under their control. Please, research this from objective, unbiased sources.

Also, keep in mind that accepting evolution does not mean you must give up your belief in god. I've believed in god most of my life and never questioned evolution. Who's to say god didn't use evolution? Why must they be mutually exclusive?

You failed at biology.
You failed at punctuation.
You failed at grammar.
You failed at using correct tenses.

But to answer your poorly thought out question, it allows them to feel that they are able to make most of their lives and live without a bigger boss than them controlling their actions. Not to mention that an atheists lack of belief is based on knowledge rather than faith. Comfort is secondary to them.

... are you familiar with the concept of "plurals"?

Or with anything else, for that matter?

Point the first. Biologists classify humans as apes. So, we are apes. OK? Got it?
Point the second. Chimpanzees, Orangutans and Gorillas don't reflect human ancestors. We share a common ancestor, but we all took different evolutionary paths.
Point the third. Evolution does not work like it does in DragonballZ. Monkeys have not 'failed' to become apes. Monkeys and apes split off from a common ancestor and (once again) evolved along a different path.

It's not really that difficult a concept, it's kind of like a family tree. Please, please try to learn about what evolution really is, not just what you imagine it to be.
