Do you believe this?

Well, Im a reply to this as bad as I hate too. When someone says evolution, it should be or it is 2 very different things. In terms of creation vs evolution, or simply evolution. Simple evolution is a real thing, you have to look no further than your own children many times. Bigger, Stronger, Faster. Evolution in the terms of something adapting to its surroundings. Many animals, people, or any other thing you can think of adpats and evolves. To put it in the best terms on a sports based web site, look at Drik Nowitzki, a 7ft tall 2-guard. 20 Years ago, he would have been pigeon holed into a low post player most likely, yet now as the game has evolved and so have the skill of the players, he is a primier player in the NBA at the G/F position.

As for the other, thats someone else's argument. But what I am saying is, the term "evolution" does not always mean "we came from monkeys"

Yes, I am aware of that. I was wanting to discuss the part of evoloution that says we do come from monkeys.

I definitely believe in Evolution.
Evolution though, does not say we come from monkeys.
Those who are told this and believe it need to learn about it to understand the full concept.

Someone out there thinks there's a common ancestor between ape and human but it's not been found or proven yet.
It's only a theory.

Here is a basic summary from a site I found (yeah it's easier to just cut and paste this stuff lol):

History of Man
SPECIES / TIME PERIOD
Ardipithicus ramidus / 5 to 4 million years ago
Australopithecus anamensis / 4.2 to 3.9 million years ago
Australopithecus afarensis / 4 to 2.7 million years ago
Australopithecus africanus / 3 to 2 million years ago
Australopithecus robustus / 2.2 to 1.6 million years ago
Homo habilis / 2.2 to 1.6 million years ago
Homo erectus / 2.0 to 0.4 million years ago
Homo sapiens archaic / 400 to 200 thousand years ago
Homo sapiens neandertalensis / 200 to 30 thousand years ago
Homo sapiens sapiens / 200 thousand years ago to present

The times of existence of the various hominid shown in the chart above are based on dated fossil remains. Each species may have existed earlier and/or later than shown, but fossil proof has not been discovered yet. There is also dispute concerning many overlapping species, for example, the overlap between Homo habilis and Homo erectus. It could well be that the two are continuing examples of the same species. The same dispute exists with Homo erectus, Homo sapiens archaic and homo sapiens sapiens. If all species have been discovered and the lineage of man lies within them, the most probable lineage would include all but the robust Australopithecines and the neandertal.

I think you are wrong the theory says that humans and apes may have had a common ansester way back when not that one came from the other.


I am not educated enough in Biology to make a great argument one way or the other. However there is no question conserning Micro-Evalution but for Macro-Evalution you either have to look at fossel records and guess or have faith that the world was made in 6 days depending on what you belive

Don't know about evolution per se, but I do know there is tremendous genetic variability in all species.

Exactly. How else could one explain the population of the state of West Virginia? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

lol! That made my morning!

It takes more faith to believe in evolution, per se, than it does to believe in an intelligent being (God) creating it all.
Evolution is presented as theory, while the Bible has proclaimed throughout the centuries that God is the Creator.

[imported_MoonlightGraham]

Assuming you do believe in Evolution, what form do you favor? punctuated equilibrium or gradualism.

I think its hard not to accept the fact that some sort of evolution has occured. We as humans evolve everyday.

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

I have faith that the world was made in 6 days and God rested on the 7th. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]
