I wanted to vote in your poll but im Christian but you only have 2 denominations.
Also I've seen monkeys and humans but nothing inbetween. So all those who believe in evolution, please explain that! |
|

I go with the God creation theory because even if Adam and Eve didn't exist, who created the monkey? o.o

The theory of evolution does not say humans evolved from apes. That is the number one misconception. Evolution says we have common ancestors.

This is Amy Also I've seen monkeys and humans but nothing inbetween. So all those who believe in evolution, please explain that! I do hope you are just joking. Poes are hard to spot... (anyway...) They're all dead, including what we evolved from. It's not like a modern chimp or gorilla evolved into a human, we have common ancestors. Like, your grand parents are the grandparents of your cousins too, but that doesn't mean your cousins can't exist, or that your grandparents are still alive. In this comparison we are humans, our cousins are other apes, and the grandparents are those that you were asking where they went. Don't get the idea that it happens as fast as a few generations though lol Devaki~Kao The theory of evolution does not say humans evolved from apes. That is the number one misconception. Evolution says we have common ancestors. Yes it does. Our ancestors were of the superfamily Hominoidea. Any member of this superfamily is an ape. Since we are the descendants of them, we are obviously still part of Hominoidea. So we are apes, and our ancestors were apes. Get used to it. Unless you aren't using the term scientifically, at which point, feel free to bend it until you feel happy, as long as you specify that you are (but in either case it is humans who leave the 'ape' classification (when less scientific), not the others. cause we're 'special'). We are also primates, though it is possible you already realize that. |

Gurlkrazy305 I go with the God creation theory because even if Adam and Eve didn't exist, who created the monkey? o.o it evolved from earlier primates that evolved from smaller rodent like animals. God didnt just make anything appear. We all evolved from single cell bacteria. |

JackWisps moonbreaze Lets not forget that they also used to think wearing a ruby would stop you from bleeding as easily. That's how they get the name "blood stones" |

Asexual-Slut~Enya It's been quite some time since I last took a course on evolution, so correct me if I am wrong, but is it not true that everything we know about genetics is ultimately predicated on the validity of the theory of evolution? |

This is Amy I wanted to vote in your poll but im Christian but you only have 2 denominations. Also I've seen monkeys and humans but nothing inbetween. So all those who believe in evolution, please explain that! ... The poll has all three groups of christian. Catholic, protestant, and orthodox. If you are christian, you are one of those three. fossil record. Look it up. Learn it. Love it. |

moonbreaze Catholic, protestant, and orthodox. If you are christian, you are one of those three. Or Nontrinitarian, or Anglican... |

Lucky~9~Lives moonbreaze Catholic, protestant, and orthodox. If you are christian, you are one of those three. Or Nontrinitarian, or Anglican... those both fall under protestant........... |

Isaac742 Lucky~9~Lives moonbreaze Catholic, protestant, and orthodox. If you are christian, you are one of those three. Or Nontrinitarian, or Anglican... those both fall under protestant........... Actually, Wikipedia's little box of links regarding Christianity organizes denominations as follows: Quote: Catholic Roman Catholic · Anglican · Independent Catholic · Old Catholic Protestant Lutheran · Reformed · Anabaptist · Baptist · Methodist · Adventist · Evangelical · Holiness · Pentecostal Eastern Eastern Orthodox · Oriental Orthodox (Miaphysite) · Assyrian Nontrinitarian Jehovah's Witness · Latter Day Saint · Unitarian · Christadelphian · Oneness Pentecostal Yeah. Some denominations of Protestantism don't even see LDS (Mormonism) as being "Christian", and Jehovah's Witnesses can also be disputed. The Church of England really sits on its own because it's close to Catholicism but obviously isn't Roman Catholic, however it is very far from Protestantism. |

God didnt just make anything appear. We all evolved from single cell bacteria. That's quite a simplified explanation of primate evolution, but it works as a (very) general overview. Let's not forget that New World Monkeys diverged earlier than Old World Monkeys and apes. |
