Well, do you? Do you belive that we descended from primates? I personally think it is absurd...

__________________

What do you find absurd? That the great apes like gorillas and chimps have DNA that is well over 90% identicall to human DNA? Do you find the discovery of thousands of fossils that each demonstrate small steps (in human evolution) from where we supposedly started to where we are now absurd? Or you just think it's absurd because a book say's otherwise?

If you are going to make a thread claiming a viewpoint on this topic is insane how about you write up an arguement or put forth some evidence that lead you to this conclusion instead of just being "absurd" and waiting for Jeff to write something that you agree with because you can't find the words yourself as you don't know shit?

Anyway, I am not 110% sold on evolution, but it makes the most sense out of anything we have come up with and there is actual evidence that we have found to indicate that it is how we came to be.

Chimps are 98% identicall to human DNA...

I must agree with Shane here, starting a thread by calling anything absurd is in its self absurd... especally since you haven't put forth any evidence against it when it is accepted by most if not in part by all accredited scientists. Since you are the con side you must put up the evidence against it.

Im not gonna admit i was a chimp, fuck that

100 Percent Human, screw science.

Sounds like devil doesn't understand evolution.

Devil, despite how dumb you are, you never were, and never will be, a chimpanzee. Our ancestors a long time ago were, but that's not the case anymore. You are 100% human, it's just that humans are 98% identical, in DNA, to chimpanzees.

I personally find evolution a much more plausible explanation, not to mention the mounds of evidence for it, compared to a book that could very well be fiction and what some people may have said 2000 years ago.

When I first read your reply I will admit that I got a little mad but then I realized that some of what you said is right. For me to start a thread with nothing but I complete dissagreement against a certain subject is idiotic on my behaf, that I'll agree too. I will not agree however that I simply put this topic up for Jeff. The reason why I never write longer replies or threads that require some signifigant time and thought to come up with is because I simply don't have enough time usually and I tend to try to keep thing's as simple as possible. That is still no excuse for me to write what I wrote so I suppose I'll put some thought into this reply.

The reason why I find the theory of evolution absurd is simply because I have a very strong faith in my god and I believe everything that bible says. I believe that we all came from Adam and Eve and that Jesus died for our sins. The idea that we have evolved from primates(whatever the meaning of "primates" is) just seems to be absurd, like I said before. It's not that I find the theory impossible, it actually seems quite possible. It's simply that my faith overwhelmes the entire theory.

I am definetlly on the lower portion of the totem pole in this subject and in any religious subject for that matter because scientists can do somthing I can't. They can offer other ideas to help support their theory, while religion has virtually none. I can say thing's like, "Read the scriptures and look at what's happening in the world. The bible predicts it all.", but that doesn't help me at all because people like you ,who full-heartedly believe in the theory, can say that those predictions can mean anything.

In the end, it all comes down to this I suppose. I can offer absolutelly no proof that god exists other than beliefs that I possess while you can offer thing's that are along the lines of proof. There is still no proof that proves the theory of evolution to be right, but there are several things that support it greater than religion. I suppose that is the reason why so many people accept that thoery over religion. There is no proof that proves either right, but one has a greater advantage over the other...

That was very big of you,

There's one thing I don't understand about the Adam and Eve story or I havn't quite been filled in on all the details, but how did two people start the process of populating the Earth without having inbred grand children and thus resulting in everyone one else after that being inbred?

That's one of the things that it doesn't explain in the bible. I assume that everyone is inbred, I say that because the bible considers us all brothers and sisters.

Trust me, despite the fact that my faith is strong now, I was once questioning the existence of god daily too...
