While I support the theory of evolution, I must say this:
Who is to say that evolution was not the means by which God created the creatures of the Earth? In the original translation of the new testament the word used to define what we know as the "7 days" really means "7 periods of time".
We cannot exclusive disprove God's involvement in evolution, or even our own "human" advancements.

I'm going to make this clear as possible:

WE DID NOT EVOLVE FROM MONKEYS, YOU ******** IDIOT.

DARWIN DID NOT SAY THIS, EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGISTS DO NOT SAY THIS.

ALSO, THE BIBLE IS RETARDED AND CONTRADICTS REALITY. ENJOY YOUR FANTASY WORLD.


The bible doesn't contradict reality. The bible contradicts rationality. And rationality is how you understand how reality works. Very different things.
The bible states the earth was created before the sun in a single day.

Is it simply my rationality that is incorrect?


Yes. To accept your rational as being an accurate representation of reality, is your faith. To try to prove that it is via evidence, is just circular reasoning I.E. Your rational, is that evidence proves your rational. But one key block in the rational is that evidence proves all.

To those who think that the animation portrays evolution, please go to the Morality and Religion forums; it doesn't require you to know anything about anything, which is good, because you clearly don't.

I think the vast majority of us are clear on evolution and why creationism is dumb.
So it would seem.
Nope. We evolved from a common ancestor of APES. Monkeys have tails, we and apes do not. Monkeys also do not have a physiological structure as similar to ours as that of apes.

Yeah, I'm being a sarcastic b*****d for the hell of it. Couldn't resist, sorry. blaugh

ROFL FAIL HUMAN DNA is .1% DIFFERENT THAN THAT OF MONKEYS THERE FOR WE COULD NOT COME FROM MONKEYS ROFL!!!! AND!!! EVOLUTION IS A FAIL LAWL. Commonly know fact of evolution: All life came from common ansestor wait wtf BIBLE: All Man came from common ansestor 0-0 OMG COMMON RELATION! You debunk 1 you debunk the other ROFL FAIL!!!

Nah I'm just being an a**. But that is a fact that mans DNA coding is .1% different than that of monkeys. I was also stating that evolution states that all life comes from a common ansestor. The Bible also states that man came from one man there fore both of these claim that life came from a common ancestor, which means if you debunk one or the other both will be disproved.

Not quite. Biological evolution claims that all LIFE came from a common ancestor, where as the bible states that all PEOPLE came from a common ancestor. The biblical version also doesn't have any type of biological evolution; man came from man, man came from dirt as a man, and that man will always be man. Debunking that a man came from the same animal that a "monkey" came from does not in any way affect the theory that man came from dirt as is.
"Monkey thing" ===> Man
Holy dirt ========> Man
Please tell me if this isn't clear enough.

We have tail bones. Some babies are even unlucky enough to have tail stubs at birth, which are descetely chopped off by the Dr.s xp
We didn't come from them. We are apes.

So if I were to say that you're right, but that oranges are actually purple... disproving one would disprove both?
That's still kinda not really ED calibur- but, post like that, and it won't get deleted at least.

Monkeys and Humans share a common ancestor, but they're not related in the direct sense.

This is why there is a 1% or so difference between the genes of a human and a monkey.
