How can anyone beleive we evolved from monkeys heres a few questions for people who beleive that
1.If we did evolve from monkeys then how come babies arent born monkeys
2.Even Darwin said his theories were wrong before he died so why do you still believe them
3.do you really not believe the bible it says we were created in seven days not millions of years
4.how come we cant speak monkey
Just for a fact ape like creatures are monkeys Just in case certain people get on this thread
Heh, a 14yo with a SN "coolstylinstud." Interesting...
First off, we have a common ancestor with monkeys, so no, we didn't evolve from monkeys. You may not know it, but there are actually some people born with nearly their entire body covered in dark hair and some born with tails.
1) I don't understand this question. Why would we be born a monkey?
2) The Pope denied god's existence on his death bed. Don't believe me? Perhaps it was just a rumour..
3) As a kid, I am sure it seems strange that people don't believe the bible or interpret it the same way that your parents do. I remember being young and never questioning things my parents did.. well, until high school. The bible was written by men, so I have to question it.
4) Were you born knowing how to speak english? Many things are passed down by knowledge, not genetics, language being one of them. Take an american baby and put them in China with chinese parents and they will have no problem learning Chinese. Monkeys lack a certain region of the brain that allows for spoken language but we can still teach them sign language; they are still very smart. If you think about it, we can "speak" to a lot of different animals when we train them.
One important thing to remember is that Evolution does not equal atheism. It just means that certain interpretations of the bible cannot be taken literally. It is OK to question things.
