[QUOTE="Shemjaza, post: 74168667, member: 146291"] I honestly don't have a good explanation. I [B]don't[/B] think every religious believer is insane. However personally I have never had those experiences and the universe while weird doesn't seem to need or indicate the existence of a God. Whatever individual people who might believe in evolution, for some coherent discussion it is better to focus on what the scientific theory proposes. But, all three of those statements using imprecise non-scientific terms are simultaneously true. Humans and modern monkeys are both descended from an ancient tailed primates called catarrhines, which if you or I saw today we would just call a monkey. However between modern humans and the ancient catarrhine "monkeys" are a whole lot of changes that we define as a number of different species. From the first tailless primates who become all modern apes, to the hominini who became chimps, australopithecus and homids. And the many hominids who branched in and out till we got modern humans. Also, long before there were any monkeys, the ancestors of mammals and reptiles were fish who slowly adapted to living on the shore, then eventually to living on the land full time. So, you can see how all three of your statements can be true. You are welcome to your beliefs. You do not believe that evolution is true and you have your very personal reasons for doing so. It is not reasonable to present false statements about what others believe or what scientific research demonstrates. [/QUOTE]
