I would just like to point out that we did not evolve from apes, but we do share a common ancestor with them.

maybe evolution is right, you have the intelligence of an ape.

Yes, but are you betting on the right God?If Hinduism is really the true religion, you're going to be in trouble.
I'm taking no greater a chance than you. Did you forget it's also possible that nothing happens at all when we die?Originally posted by unworthyone
Look who's talking. You have a ZERO chance right now.

Because it is what many people want to hear. They don't want a God that tells them what to do, or what not to do. They want to act like animals and evoloution excuses it.

What does the sentence, "You have a bad chopper.", mean today. Then, what would that same sentence mean, 6000 years ago?

Frequently Asked But Never Answered Questions... Evaded by Creationists
1. Is there any evidence for your hypothesis ?
Gould, a twentieth century evolutionist, stated:
In any local area, a species does not arise gradually by the steady transformation of its ancestors; it appears all at once and "fully formed
)
1b. Is there any observation which supports any feature of your theory? Has Creationism ever made a true prediction
Has Evolution?
2. Where is the physical evidence that evolutionary mechanisms cannot cross the barrier of "biblical kinds" ?
(Creationists routinely claim that "macroevolution" - a made-up term - cannot exist in evolution, while "microevolution" - another made-up term - can exist)
Micro evolution and macro evolution are valid terms. There is toms of proof for micro and none for macro
2b. Where is your evidence of God ?
(Creationists also routinely claim the existence of a supernatural Creator as scientific fact, but without evidence)
The Scientific Big Bang model is evidence of a creator.
3. Explain why we have plentiful evidence of transitional forms in the fossil record.
(The mere existence of one transitional form, let alone the dozens that we have, disproves Creationism)
Every so called transitional form has been proven not to be
Neanderthal Man and Cro-Magnon Man both have the features of modern man. Colorado Man turned out to be a member of the horse family. Java Man (also known as Pithecanthropus) was shown to be the remains of a large gibbon. Heidelberg Man consisted of only a lower jaw. Obviously, a lower jaw is insufficient evidence for a missing link. One can only speculate as to the makeup of the rest of the skull and skeleton. The Piltdown Man was revealed to be a clever hoax. The Peking Man is now thought to be a large monkey or baboon. The Southern Ape (also called Australopithecus), Dryopithecus, and Ramapithecus were extinct apes. The East African Man (Zinjanthropus) was shown to be an ape. Finally, the Nebraska Man, which consisted of only one tooth, was proven to be the tooth of an extinct pig.
4. Explain why we observe a nested hierarchy of species which is true both at the phenotypical and molecular level.
Sorry I don't know what that means
5. Explain phenotypical and molecular vestigial structures.
Just because we don't know the use of an organ doesn't mean there isn't one. Doctors 100 years ago found 80 or so vestigal organs. Since then uses have been found for all of them
6. Explain suboptimal anatomical functions.
No scientist here
7. Explain protein and DNA redundancy.
Sorry I'm no scientist can't anwer that one

This is YOUR opinion. Please elaborate.

Care to cite any of your sources on this vast wealth of knowledge you have provided to us???

It is also a bald-faced lie; Gould has done everything he can to get the word out that creationists are misrepresenting his views, yet here we are again, within another religion-sanctioned lie.

Gould does not say that species are generated fully formed, nor does he have any doubts about the theory of evolution as a hole. He has internal objections to evolution, because he believes in 'punctuated equilibrium.'
Originally posted by mac_philo
Note the classic, paradigm example of the intellectual bankruptcy of creationism.
I point out that he misappropriated Gould, and that he frankly lied about what Gould is saying.
Does he respond honorably? Does he say, "You're right; Gould does not say that. But here is why I am right anyway regarding the content..."?
No. He ignores the fact that he lied, and states something impenetrable about how you have to 'assume' evolution to prove it, and that it is a nice 'theory.'
Witness it carefully, my peers. This is the type of "scholarship" that the school boards in Kansas and Ohio are trying to use to corrupt innocent students.

But forget Gould
Did not Stephen Hawking noted theoretical astrophysicist declared that the universe could not exist without a creator.
A tiny fraction of a second before the "big bang," all the rules of physics cease to operate. BUT WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE THAT? No one can explain...except God.
Even Fred Hoyle, who is a stolid anti-creationist, admitted the statistical impossibility of macro evolution. "Impossible" is his word, not mine. In fact, he was so convinced that life could not have originated on earth by chance (and so against the concept of a divine creator) that he started popularizing the theory of panspermia -- the idea that aliens planted life here, or some asteroid carried alien DNA to earth, where it evolved from there.

Ok If I'm so wrong about Gould why don't you tell me what he meant. I thought it was a great quote tell me what he really said then.
Btw I in no way lied about what Gould said. As far as I know thats as an acccurate quote. A Lie is knowingly telling an untruth
