The Myth of Darwinian Evolution

[Jack544]

It is contradictory to you because of your current mindset.

Just because something is convincing, it doesn't mean that there is not another explanation.

That's the same thing I find confusing. Could you please respond to this question, Jack? You appear to be saying that you DO find the evidence for human evolution convincing, but that there's NOT enough of it, that you DO believe that humans are related to monkeys, but that humans have NOT evolved. Those appear to me to be quite the contradictions.

Nah. I think you just don't have a clue what you're talking about and are making up stuff as you go along to save face, even if it means you completely contradict what you're said before.

 

[Jack544]

Are your insults supposed to make you more convincing? Because they're not.

I guess that means I don't understand animal evolution either. So I guess I can't believe in it.

Thanks for enlightening me.

You don't have to believe in something you can understand.

Edit: Oops, read it wrong.

And by the way, I was being sarcastic.

But yes, I was just rambling on because I DON'T feel like debating. I am just trying to get you to be quiet and leave me alone. I don't have any evidence for my belief that we didn't evolve from monkeys but that isn't good enough for individuals like yourself. I felt like debating yesterday, but not today. Plus I just don't like the way you talk down to people.

[philadiddle]

I still don't believe in human evolution.

I think we are related to monkeys

I think that this is what's confusing us. Hopefull you can understand why the two quotes I put above seem to contradict each other. And while Mallon is being rude I think that it's quite possible you are still putting your thoughts together on this issue and talking it out. That's just fine.

Keep talking it out, it's a big topic, hopefully we will all learn as we continue to discuss this.

My apologies for being hard on you, Jack. Thanks for fessing up that you were just yanking our chains.

 

[Jack544]

Yes, I am still gathering my thoughts because he doesn't give me time to think.
I like you, you actually talk to me like an equal.

I qualify for the international high IQ society, so I am not an idiot Mallon. I am new to evolution, but my strong suit is philosophy, religion, and history.

[Jack544]

Thank you for apologizing. I apologize for being sarcastic. I will take more time to study human evolution, I have mostly read about animal evolution. I just think human evolution contradicts the Bible. Animal evolution fits but human evolution doesn't. At least, it doesn't to me.

But I agree with philadiddle. I agree that man and monkeys had a common ancestor, but I don't think that means we came from monkeys. That's what I've been trying to say. I'm good at explaining some things, but this isn't one of them.

My apologies for being hard on you, Jack. Thanks for fessing up that you were just yanking our chains.

I've done a little research and I think a species similar to man roamed the earth and evolved. But I think 200,000 years ago God created the modern man separately.

when?

 

[Jack544]

A long freaking time ago. lol Just kidding.Several million years ago.

Let me correct myself. I think God created a animal similar to man, but then when the first Homo Sapien was born, it lacked a soul. Then God breathed a soul into it and that man is who we call Adam.

when?

What are the sources you've been using for your research?

 

[Jack544]

Wikipedia.

 

[philadiddle]

So am I correct to think that you are heading in the direction that mankind evolved, but God made us separate from the other animals by giving us a soul?

 

[Jack544]

Yes. Is that okay?

[granpa]

its customary to put the quote before your response to that quote

 

[Mallon]

Sounds like evolutionary creation to me!

 

[Jack544]

It's a habit.

[Jack544]

It was tiny bit of research. Not much really. I just thought about those skulls you showed me and did a TINY tiny bit of reading in wikipedia. And I also asked a student that took an anthropology class what she thought.

Sounds like evolutionary creation to me!
