did we come from apes?

yep I agree!! i think ppl would be a lot happier and less stress if ppl thought more along those line-especially the scientists! i guess some ppl are more 'equipt' than others,no offence.

for the same reason that there are still wolves, even though there are now many many species of domestic dog.

We did not come from apes, let me clear that up for your, The hypothesis is that we had a common ancestor with chimpanzees about 5 to 7 million years ago. Thus meaning we are not apes, just that we are what you could say our long lost cousins. As a species we are very similar, and the reason for that may truly be that our origins come from the same species, and as far as you mentioning "God" it is nice to see that you believe in your faith that much but, blindly believing supernatural stories cause ignorance. That is why we must always remain open-minded and learn things we never knew about, and discover things that haven't been proven.

it is not a 'hypothesis' or 'just a theory', it is a SCIENTIFIC THEORY (the highest level of scientific truth) of the same standard as 'the theory of gravity', 'atomic theory', 'germ theory' .etc Evolution explains the diversity of life, not it's origin [that's abiogenesis] Evolution does not disprove a god (it only disproves fundamentalist interpretations thereof)

I believe that apes and humans are two completely different creation. And never were the same at anytime.

apes and humans belong into the present day modern world.... then how can a modern species evolved into another modern species? i too don't believe in evolution because one of the member's of forum convinced me that even EVOLUTION THEORY is also just a theory.... and still lack of evidence to support such claims (the big gaps i think).....

yeah it's not weather i appreciate it or not after all we are all intitaled to our own opinion, right!? there are no right or wrong answers here, its just something im curious about. but if one were to think 'who created GOD' i think id get a major migrain like the one from he** lol!

@petersum: dont jump into who created God.. the question is, who made the world? i don't expect you to appreciate that question but it is valid none the less.

ha! u grahzie took that right out of my mouth!!it is what it is. I know the truth, but the question is..do u? (MyLotters!) the truth does hurt, i know believe u me! and i mean the with the upmost repect and i dont mean to put anyone down i love u all! i know i could say i like u all..but thats not me..=)

God made each and everything to his liking. He knew what he was doing sence the beggining of time..so im second that! like i told someone else...i know the truth about what i wrote about..i just wanted to know what other ppl thought about that!

yeah i think ur on2 something here...i suppose one must ask the right question on this tough one...but the truth is out there written in black ink in a sacrid book called the BIBLE. we are different than apes, i knew this all along. but did u-mylotter?! dont think about it bcuz ull give urself a headache and i dont want to be responseable for that...=)but that is a nice argument

Do you know how you God looks like? no I guess not. so lets ignore that sentence on your post since its not valid because it is just impossible. Okay lets move on to the next section. The reason there are still apes as you said. The research says we share a common ancestor with the chimpanzees, concerning as how they are still present, maybe the conditions of life were different? and caused the evolution to be different, it could be due to different places, other predators, different needs to survive, just as how there were different kinds of humans. Only thing is that the apes have survived and adapted better than others. To conclude, we are not the highest form of animals as you say, every species is special in their own way and survives differently, we have just succeeded in building our civilizations, but if we were to go back to living on a forest. What would survive more, the ape or you? yes I am sure you can guess, that is the reason as to why we cannot call ourselves superior.

hummm...i think ur being sarcastic and ill play along lol...this god..itll be complicated to explain to someone.do u go to church? i know we are alive because god breaths breath into our lungs. he created us for a reason...think of god like the president..only he's fair. i dont know u may have ur own opinion and thats fine! just read a bible or/and go to church. and ask the preacher ur question-'who is GOD' and im sure he'll be more than happy to tell u! happy MyLotting!

So is God of Asian appearance? Or perhaps Negro...maybe aborigine? If God created man in his own image, how is it that men don't all look the same? Why do we have different facial features, build, height and so on according to the area we come from? Apes did not turn into humans, humans evolved as another branch while the various primates continued as they were. Evolution is not simply a stop/start function.
