Do You Believe We Came From Monkeys?

[koshergrl]

The great apes (gorillae, oranguans, chimpanzees) and humans evolved from a predecessor ape at some point in the distant past. That predecessor ape is extinct.

I always think of the concept of evolution of animals as similar to the evolution of languages. Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese all originally came from a predecessor language: Latin. Latin is extinct. The other descendant languages are similar in many ways, but distinctly different.

cute theory.
unproven, however.

What is your proven theory?

I don't have a proven one. Neither do you. That's my point.

Faith is a good thing.

 

[koshergrl]

How anyone can believe in the creationist theory, I don't know, because it makes no sense to me!

Here is their thinking.

Those were just stories, allegories, parables. Whatever. The fact is who was Adams mother? Christians thing god waved his hand and next thing you know all the land living animals appeared.

So the first animals didn't have parents. God made them.

If I'm wrong one of them will correct me

You think it's impossible to create humans outside the womb?

How anti science of you.

 

[LTCArmyRet]

Adam was husband of Eve, but mankind came from monkey... So, Eve didn't lose time, when Adam tried to make adultery with Lilith...

Who were Adams parents?

How did they populate the world when they had two SONS, Cain and Abel? Where did the other women come from?

Adam and Eve were first, never said only.

Yes , wrong. Yes, God made them, God makes everything you dope, even your sorry ass.

How anti science of you.

So you think there's a scientifically provable explanation?

What you believe is what our primitive ancient ancestors believed 2000 years ago. I don't blame them because they didn't know what we know today. It's people like you who have the internet at your fingertips and all the knowledge we have now and even still you deny evolution and choose to believe a god that wrote the bible waved his hand and made it all so. This is why we say religious people can't possibly be scientific unless they are cherry picking and using cognitive dissonance along the way.

Until we understand something we “do not know”. Positing a ‘god’ in place of admitting personal ignorance is an unfounded leap which demonstrates a fundamental lack of humility.

What's wrong? You don't just get to say wrong without explaining how I'm wrong. That only tells me I'm actually right but me putting it the way I did embarrassed your stupid little ass.

Are you telling me the first pigs had parents? Then they weren't the first. How did pigs get on this planet?

See friend I'm trying to help you walk it through in your brain. Maybe you haven't logically thought it through. This is why evolution is the truth. No god had to come and wave his hand and magically all the diverse animals were here.

Is Earth Undergoing a 6th Mass Extinction? --"99.9% of all Past Species Extinct"

This means 99% of the animals god made are extinct today.

I don't think everything is known. What I'm doing is using what is known. I'm not ignoring what is known because it conflicts with my ancient holy books.

Believing in god because not everything is known is ignorant. God of the gaps.

Until we understand something we “do not know”. Positing a ‘god’ in place of admitting personal ignorance is an unfounded leap which demonstrates a fundamental lack of humility.

The existence and non-existence of a god are not equally probable outcomes. The majority of things we can possibly imagine do not exist. Thus, belief is not as valid a position as skepticism when dealing with unsupported or unfalsifiable claims. Agnostic atheism is the most rational position.

I'm not going to start over from square one with some newby joining the discussion. But at least you are the first in days to proudly admit that you believe a god waved his hand and produced all the animals on earth. Most people don't have the courage to proclaim such ignorance.

But you know what? How can I argue with that. If you are willing to throw out all logic and science and believe such nonsense really what can I say? Nothing. God bless.

I'm not denying all that is known, just the conclusion you are jumping to from what is known. You think this proves that God doesn't or can't exist, I say it only proves his existence.

You have faith in junk science. I'd say that's a better example of "voluntary ignorance" than faith in God, since you deny your version is "faith" but instead tout it as "science".

Do you believe in ghosts and magic too?

You know what? I believe life exists on other planets and I don't know for sure if there are. But based on the all the information I have it seems logical that there is life on other planets. But you believe there is a god because a man made holy book, your parents and preacher told you so. Even though it doesn't make sense. That's not belief that's wishful thinking. And you've been scared into thinking if you question it you'll go to hell.

I don't believe you really believe. You can't be that dumb.

Ignorance in your eyes only, I believe I did ask a question much earlier in this thread which no one has even attempted to reply to.....................Evolution and God can exist together, do you know how long a day is to GOD?

Therefore, there is just as much chance that I am correct than that you are correct...even though my unproven theory does have some evidence to lend it credibility.

It is possible to create humans outside of the womb.

It is not possible to create a human without having another human's DNA to work with (i.e. an egg and a sperm, an egg and the DNA from a sperm, an empty egg with full set of human DNA (such as cloning))
