No. I believe God created everything. But scientists and a lot of others are trying to convince otherwise. I personally think, this is because humans are very proud to admit that there is a super power since humans think they are the super power and they can do anything and every thing without any help from another.

No, i do n't believe on it. I am a student of biology and have information about it. Actually, it is considerred that men r evolved from monkeys but the real thing is that we r n't evolved from monkeys but if if go to the history of characteristics then it came to know that monkeys and men both r counted in a single species. Ill-literate people say it that men r evolved from monkeys. Human beings belong to class "Mammalia" of classification and monkeys r too present there. Biologists adjest many living organisms in the same class due to their characters. It is a sure factor that whoever has hair on his/her skin, feed their own babies with their own milk, can move their eye balls etc. r included in class "Mammilia". These few characters r found in men as well as in monkes and in other few living organisms too.

Basically, people are trying to say crudely that men are primates like monkeys and so we all evolved from a common ancestor. That's what it boils down to. And all mammals also would have some common ancestor, as would birds, reptiles, etc.
I think as people study genetics further, we'll know more about what evolved from what.
As can be seen by fossils, every creature was not created at the same time. Showing that the Adam and Eve and God creating all the animals belief is nothing but a nice little story from before humans knew better.

I dont think they have..because if they did why do we still have monkey running around and surely some should start showing signs of turning into humans instead of dying..It's silly ..evolving from apes or monkeys..it this were so there would not be any apes or monkeys running around..it is my opinion though!

yes,i believe so.there are scientific proof of the same. no other explanation comes even close to it.every other explanation about the life on earth is based on speculation .but for this one there is proof everywhere.

Think how stupid evolutionism is and how it is impossible in every respect. Thnen think of the absolute lack of evidence, and you have your answer.

I do. Man has even changed since our first inception with our ancestors in Africa.
Consider that Human version 1.0.
Humans then moved around the globe, and we changed to meet our environment. Those who stayed in Africa developed a dark skin, which protects them from the sun. They also developed a wide and short nose, which gets oxygen in the body fast and efficiently.
Those who migrated the north developed light skin, as the protection from the sun isn't required. They also developed a long narrow nose to warm the air before it hits the body and into the lungs.
As far as the Asian races, I'm not 100% sure on the reasoning for their features... without a doubt it was their environment, and how they lived that eventually over time changed them to how they are today.
Man did evolve... whether it was from a monkey (As we see today), or from previous version of human, we changed over time and are still changing.
Here is an example: Over the past 100 years, North American males have grown over 1 foot on average in height. That is based on environment and better health. We are now seeing new changes.. obesity and child on-set diabetes.
We as humans will never stop evolving... what will be like in 1000 years? Who knows.

Never. Adam is a first man created by God and Eve created from left a bone situated at left side of chest. Man has cerated by clad (soil - if you touch antena of radio or touch electric tester you can find it is true). God created 18,000 kinds of lives and man is one kind, monkey is another kind. Moneky is an animal, gorilla also looks like monkey, you may see cat's face looks like tiger.

I don't think humans evolved from monkeys per se, but I do believe that man and monkeys share the same ancestors. Our species just evolved differently over the generations.
