according to scientist and according to the discovery of fosil we are the evolution of some species like monkey, but according to religion we are God's creature, really confusing thoughts, can anyone give your opinion? if we believe in God we must say that human is God's creature but there is some proof that we evolute from monkey , :-s confuse

There is no proof that we are descended from monkeys but there is plenty of evidence that we share a common ancestor. This evidence comes from the fossil record and increasingly from the study of genetics. Believing in the process of evolution does not mean that religion is wrong. It dose mean that you should not confuse the Bible with a science textbook.
For more information on the process of evolution take a look at;

If you can not find the evidence for a common ancestor in the link I posted than you can't read.

Great! if there's plenty of evidence then you should be able to tell us once and for all what or who that common ancestor is. (Looking at my watch...) Day 1

We did not evolve from apes, our DNA differs. Although, we probably came from an ape-like creature.

Leavert, you have been given the information more than once and continue to ignore it. You really need to study genomics if you wish to retain the small shred of creditability you have left. The world is leaving you behind and if you don't catch up you will be as extinct as the Dodo.

Unfortunately for evolutionists there's no evidence for such an assertion

What fossil? I believe this is mere speculation.. as is unavoidable with the topic of "origins" - what they state is that all life evolved from one life form.. It can only be speculation..
They need to teach MORE evolution. To include the many (many) questions and problems with the 'theory'.

You don't have to be either or. you can be both. And really, the split happened so many centuries ago, that it doesn't really matter what the ancestor looked like.More like a marmoset , I believe than a monkey. And there is lots ofproof that humans evolved from lesser beings. While there is proof that the book of genesis is wrong. you decide, facts or fairy tales.

..always I hear there is lots of proof, but I've yet to hear any of it.. whereas all lands report a great flood as (added to) legend.. The bible has been proven to be right many times.. It stated the earth was round when other nations believed it was flat and supported on the back of a turtle, elephant or Atlas.. stating how man witnesses "the CIRCUIT of the sun each day".. Also the so ancient Old Testament claimed the earth "hangs on nothing".. Also nations other nations thought of as mere legend, mentioned in the bible, werre later found by archeologists to indeed have existed..
Patterns of weather are also in the Old Testament..
What I most often ask is why? Why is it so important that the western world give up its christian roots? (Its foundation. If it's progress, it's progress where? We can find out where perhaps by examining the changes to the society since the 50's/60's.)

Do you really beleive in that you really come from monkey. If you read the book of Genisis you will see that God created the heaven and the earth and all that dwell therein. God form man from the dust of the earth and blow into man the breath of life and man become a living soul and give man the authority to rule and control and take care of all living thing; even monkey. God also gave man the ability to name all the animals.
This is a food for taught. Can you just imagine you coming from monkey and then you have control over that same monkey that you came from. Evolutionist dont beleive in God and so they are trying to prove that all that God says in is word are wrong.
