In U.S., 42% Believe Creationist View of Human Origins

If we evolved from Apes, why did Apes not evolve as well?

They did, that's why there are so many species of apes. Some more advanced than others. Neanderthals are an example of another, more evolved, species of ape if you like. Human's did not directly evolve from Neanderthals. These were two competing species. Modern day humans do have bits of Neanderthal DNA as a result of cross species breading. If you look at animals from a genetic point of view, you'd see the inescapable conclusion that all organisms have a common starting point. You'd be surprised how much DNA humans share with a banana

That is scary. So maybe we have DNA ties to everything on this earth if we can have DNA ties to a banana. So we split from the banana and became apes. lol

It does. Scientist are hellbent on taking God out of our life and making us practice Scientology.

First of all, Scientology has nothing to do with science. That is a religion based on the scifi universe created by El Ron Hubbard

Second of all, Science has nothing to do with God because science only deals with things that can or have yet to be proven. Tangible things. God is a belief, something intangible.

their livelihood depends on it. kinda like the global cooling, global warming, uh climate change scientist.

Somewhere around 50% of the way on the journey to being a Banana and a Human, there was a split. One side eventually became a banana (among other things) and the other side became a human (among other things)

3 questions.

1. what blew up?

2. why'd it blow up?

3. how did humans 'win' in the natural selection process?

You could say the same thing about religious people. Except the only proof they have is a book, a strong belief in something, and perhaps a few ultimately impossible to prove examples of their encounter's with God.

I will let you have number 1.

Number 2. A lot of scientist use science as a way to disprove God. Jesus is very real and if he was the son of God then God is not an intangible thing.

We cloned a sheep. We can do things God can do so therefore there is no God.

Got to keep the bucks rolling in somehow.

Wow! You really believe we split from a banana?

3. how did humans 'win' in the natural selection process?

1. No completely known but there are lots of theories on it.

2. Same

3. That one is easy. They didn't die out...... yet.

Keep in mind, unanswered questions are no way to discredit something completely. A religious person should completely understand that. Some answers will come and some will stay out of the reach of human hands for the foreseeable future. That's what makes it so fun guys.

That could only happen if God had intended so. Maybe she has a wicked sense of humor...

Well. I have 50% shared common DNA traits that can be literally seen. What do you have?

And no, we were not we at that time. We were something else. And that something else went two different ways. Those two different directions have many many many branches. One on each side ends up being a human and a banana. Get it?

yup. that's what I thought

It doesn't work like that. Scientists are interesting in finding out what happened by reading the code. Not disproving God because they cloned a sheep. They wanted to see how it worked. And now we know. There's not magic, only cause and effect.

3. how did humans 'win' in the natural selection process?

1. The singularity.

2. Scientists are at it as we speak.

3. Humans didn't win. Evolution is a process not a jamboree.

If I were a religious person I would consider it a sacrilege dismissing all the power of the brain my creator gave me, in favor of mythology and superstition.

What do you think you have proven? There isn't a directly definitive answer to the exact way the universe was created piece by piece, so .................God?
