Do you really believe we came from apes?

We did not descend from apes... humans and apes have a common ancestor... and that ancestor wasn't around thousands of years ago, that common ancestor was around millions of years ago... Thousands of Thousands years ago... it also didn't take several years to change, that took millions of years, as well. Actually, extremely few of the kinds of animals that were alive back when humans and apes shared an ancestor, are still alive today, because all life keeps on changing and evolving over generations. So, no, I don't believe in the concept that you put forward, but, the theory of evolution is truth, just as much as the theory of gravity, or the theory of thermodynamics, or just about any piece of science that has such gigantic mounds of evidence behind it. These kinds of concepts, you just can't deny, the evidence is all over the place, and it's just freaking gigantic.

That's really not what they say. What they say is that primates, like human beings and apes, evolved from the same branch. In other words, apes are our cousins, not our grandparents. However, they call it a theory for a reason and that's because it has never been proven. The "missing link" is still missing. It make more sense to me to believe in a Being who created us in human form than a planet that just appeared and just by the luck of the draw, there was life. Then life somehow left the murky waters of "birth" and walked on dry ground. And then this life evolved through eons of chance and mutation to multiple varieties. Then, again by chance, one of these life forms just happened to mutate or something into a form that would eventually walk upright AND developed opposing thumbs so that it could use things as tools. And then this creature (why do we call it a creature if it wasn't created?) somehow developed into a human being. I don't have that kind of faith in evolution.

Most people, especially Creationists, misunderstand the meaning of the word 'theory'. In science, a theory is an explanation or model based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning, especially one that has been tested and confirmed as a general principle helping to explain and predict natural phenomena. (See: http://www.fsteiger.com/theory.html for a longer exposition on this) The fact of evolution is universally accepted by scientists and the fact that humans are a species of ape and evolved from the same species as the other apes - gorillas, chimpanzees, in particular - is accepted as a proven truth. Those who refuse to believe it are generally those who claim that the word 'theory' means 'something not proven'. You will also find many of them asking questions like "If humans evolved from apes, why are there still apes?", which is as illogical as asking 'If I am my parents' son, why do I have a brother?' All of these people have been brought up to believe that the Bible is the Word of God and so it must be true (literally and word for word) without understanding the special meaning of 'Word' in this context (and used in the singular). They confuse 'Word' with 'words' and cannot accept that much of the Bible is written in metaphor and parable - in other words, a great deal of it is poetry, myth and allegory. This does NOT mean that it does not therefore contain the Truth (note - with a capital 'T'). We are perfectly well aware, for example, that, when Jesus relates the story of the Prodigal Son or the Wise Virgins, that it they are just stories and quite unlikely to be based on any real event. Nevertheless, they carry very potent basic 'Truth', even though they are not 'true' in a newspaper or historical sense. The Book of Genesis, in particular, is a compilation of traditional stories which were passed down by word of mouth for thousands of years by illiterate people who had, nevertheless, thought deeply about the nature of creation. That these early and simple herdsmen had clearly 'got things right' with regard to the Creation stories (note that there are two separate versions recorded in Genesis) is shown by the fact that the ORDER in which the stories say that God created the world and all living things on it is in agreement with the order in which science has since demonstrated that it happened.

I don't believe in that theory of darwin. Because until now there is still apes and they are still apes...if that theory is true. I think all of the apes of the earth must be human now. But looks they still apes

Well it hard to said, but u look at the physicaly anatomy of the ape, it is closest to the human form, i guess the most logical to said we are related to them, however, many religous people are against it said it more of creation and not evolution , because God created man on His image and etc. Evrn prehistoric caveman bones are missing few links from ape to human.

Personally, it's hard for me to believe this. Because if it's so, then human will probably change its shape again, just like the old times when the apes become humans. I just can't imagine what human will look like a thousand years from now. May be like one in the animation movie (I forget the title), people will get fatter and fatter and they will drive a flying chair to go anywhere, since the foot are no longer be able to support the body.

Since I don't have a religion and I believe in the science. I think that we come from the apes because it seems we are so much in common. The time can make a creature to improve. I love China

Well none of my ancestors look like ape so how could I possibly believe this theory. It is lie and unbelievable. hahaha Seriously this theory is an attempt to discredit the Bible. Genesis has an answer to this question. God created man and man separately. The first man Adam was created out of dust. God breathed on Him so he would have life, and the first woman Even came from one of the ribs of Adam so how could these scrupulous people invent this crazy theory that we evolved from apes?

No , God created us in the best form , God said in Quran : " Certainly We created man in the best make. Darwin the owner of tthe theory was not sure what was stated .. It remains a theory in any case unless it is substantiated , it will not be substantiated .. For example, if the origin of human is monkey .. Why did not develop monkeys and remained the same did not evolve into humans?

no. because if we came from apes, then why are there still apes? they weren't part of the evolution??is that it?

It's proven that some apes (specific race which is closest to human being) have more than 80% of their genes are the same of ours genes.

Yes i strongly believe that apes were our ancestors and he had evolved into human beings from them. One can observe that apes mannerisms resemble very much like human beings. There is no point in raising fingers at Darvin's evolution theory.

i dont think we came from apes...yes we surelly are similiar to them but i dont beileve we came from apes as thing is still not proven and many of them think we have a lot of things missing between the FACT AND THE FICTION....no body know from where we came from ..not just us but every living thing in this world...We still are not clear this... and if we are really developed from them how can they still be around us how come only few of us have developed and some are left behind like that.....;)

i don't believe in the theory of evolution. apes will be apes and man will be man. human has the highest form of intelligence wherein apes don't have.

Who can say if evolution is the whole story? There is always something more to discover. Always. Personally all I can see is that we mammals all have the same two eye one nose with mouth underneath, all on one head connected with a backbone to four limbs blueprint. Therefore, we must all originate from the same original plan.
