well technically if we're going off of the belief that we share an ancestry w/ apes, then yes, we are part ape..its like if u have a cousin. part of u is just like them, though u are not them.

to be honest the idea of creationism, intelligent design, and the like simply don't make sense to me. my mother was catholic, my father was buddhist, my grandma was christian.. again those religions just dont make sense to me. im not sure what i am, but i can't fathom the idea that some higher being controls our lives and everything that we do affects us in the after life or where we go to spend eternity...i mean, i suppose there could be a higher being watching over us, but i doubt it.

science seems to answer most questions and fill in the blanks that religion has cast, or simply punched holes in faith's answers and created more questions..i'm not exactly sure which, but the theory of evolution seems more plausible because there's proof and its been tested..the idea of walking on water and paying money to the church to resolve your sends just doesnt set well w/ me.

if u wanna explain how nowa built an arche 3 times as long as england and 7 times as high as the empier state building go ahead but its all just a load of crap that was made up and the bible was only first writen 300 years ago so explain 2000 years

Actually, the ark was said to be 300 cubits - which would be about 137 meters. England's length is estimated at 620 thousand meters, so you are wrong by a factor of about 4520. As for the height, 7x the height of the Empire State Building is 2667 meters: you are wrong here by a factor of about 194.

Noah's ark has problems - but being 1.65 miles tall and capable of being stretched from Chicago to Albuquerque is not one of them.

You think God never does anything? Ha! I've talked to him. I've seen angels. He's hugged me. He's lead me to many solutions before. And btw, you spelled ark wrong.

Also, (dont flame me for this) if people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

"It's the same as saying that many Americans are descended from Europeans - but there are still Europeans!"

OOOH! OOH!! MEEMEMEMEMEMEME! I'm not Caucasian! I'm European-American! >:3 My family did NOT come from the Caucasus region. I came from Scotland, Ireland, England, etc. I came from Western Europe and I SHALL NOT MARK CAUCASIAN ON MY TEST! >D

..dude, to question why there are still apes, seriously? brussel sprouts come from the mustard plant..there's stil lthe mustard plant. dogs descend from wolves..there are still wolves. justbecause something evolves from something else does not mean that the something tht it was originally createdfrom goes extinct...then there couldnever be anything created again.

Though technically we share an ancestor with apes, we didn't evolve from them.

Technically, we are apes.

Technically we are in the same family as apes.

Technically we are in the same family as apes.

And thus, we are apes. I don't see any particular problem.

I believe God is the reason why we are here
and evolution is how we created us.

Hey heart
I used to believe that Humans evolved from Apes. That all life came from single celled Organisms called Amoebas.
Now I believe that god created us all, and the bible is fact.
I just wanted to know your opinions out there. Try to back up your idea... mrgreen

I'm Catholic and believe in evolution. I also believe you need a textbook because you have your facts wrong.

The second half of your statement needs some revision. I'll leave it to you to figure out the error you made. Nevertheless, your perspective would qualify as theistic evolution, which isn't bad at all.

On the plus side, you reminded me of Perry Bible Fellowship, which has a bunch of new comics since last time I read it surprised Coincidentally, the first one I stumbled upon is entirely relevant to this discussion!

Granted that may be the smartest argument I have ever heard from those bastards.

The joke is that whales can't just 'adapt' to walk on land. He's saying 'shut the ******** up' because it's actually a retarded suggestion, not because he can't think of a counterargument.

Ok first off even christians dont believe that the bible is fact they believe it contains God's (if you beileve in him) his teachings/guidelines so first off the bible is NOT A FACT IN A WAY OR FORM its teachings contradict itself many times over and over so if you only believe in the bible..........................wow even christians/jews/atheist all mostly agree that evolution is a FACT want a little hint because its a proven fact once agian just wow
