We might be from apes from evoution. Apes have many instincts like humans. Most scientists are also testing apes about human instincts such as group activities, reading, etc.

No we did NOT evolve from apes.That is so obsurd.Like Mandy said,there is to much evidence that slams the whole idea down.The so-called "geologic column" that evolutionists depend on is a theory in itself.There is no such complete geologic column in the world.Also, "mutations" tend to be more harmful than good.How can an animal survive if it has slowly changed into another thing?Surely the thing would die or get eaten,which would not let ANYTHING evolve.Another thing.With this fossile record stuff,how,without something like a great flood happening,could adead animal stay in tact for a billion years while sand and sediments slowly colected around it? The actual existance of fossils suggests the idea of a catastrophic burial.
This whole thing about humans from apes is crap too.Of all the fossils of humans or apes that have been found,none have been found out to be ape-men.They have either been thrown out as 100% ape or 100% human.NONE SUCH THING CAN BE PROVEN OR EXISTS.The whole idea is a mistake.Evolutionists are completely wrong.

There are many problems with evolution. First off:

Evolving- A change in a species that is a benefit to the entire species. - A loss of genetic material

Adapting- A change that occurs to a species that is a benefit to a specific group of a species.- usage of genetic material that exists that is made more prevolent.

You can not gain genetic material. Which means it is not possible to "evolove" In other words you are using material you already have in order to adapt better.

In my biology classes we were presented with both the theory of evolution and of creation. And they said that in an exam we might be asked to define them both. So over here at least, both theories are taught to students (although evolution is studied in much more detail).

I just think that scientists are trying to find a way to disprove christianity. Which for all people out their who don't believe in God is fine. It gives them something to wrap their brain around. All I am saying if they can't teach creation because it is against peoples beliefs, then why is it ok for them to teach evolution when it is against other peoples beliefs.

Evolution, unlike creation, is a scientific theory rising from proper use of the scientific process, rather than using an old novel as proof.

Like most every new discovery can be disproved. Like Lucy. The knee joint(to prove upright walking) was found a 1/4 of male away 170 feet above the rest of her bones. And carbon dating is very innacurate. I don't think they should stand up their and teach "their" theory in school that goes completely against what I believe but I am unable to say my opinion on creation. That just makes me very irritated.

But what can i do?

Mandy

Personally... I do not believe in the Evolution theory. However, the fact of the matter is people say there is proof to back up the evolution theory(theory being the operative and stressed word)... however, what they have failed to notice is that all of their "proof" of evolution has either been tampered with or has been tampered with... just a thought. Although I do not agree with the evolution theory... I support anyone who chooses to believe in that theory.

With that logic... why don't they allow God in schools? Like it or not... evolution is part of a religion... atheism ... i am not saying that all atheiest believe in evolution..... do not misquote me on that. I am just saying... theschool should either allow ALL beliefs or NONE.
God BLess!

Apes and humans are all part of the Homonoids. African apes and humans are part of the Homonids. Most apes had evolved before humans, which allows the suggestion that perhaps humans evolved from apes. However, there is no complete proof on this, and it is more widely accepted that humans did not, in fact evolve from apes, but do share a common ancestor.

You are not forced to believe in evolution, just as you are not forced to believe in God.

My bio book has a whole chapter on evolution and how we came from apes. I am looking at it right now actually. I think it is dumb that they can like not allow you to do anything God related but then like they can teach you something that you don't believe either but you have to suck it up. It is like totally the double standard.

Mandy

If your science teacher told you that humans evolved from apes, they are rather stupid, because any good Bio book will tell you otherwise.

The theory of evolution is the most widely-believed and credible scientific theory we have come up with to explain our origins. The theory is that we and apes have a common ancestor. Apes developed down one route, we developed down another. We became more advanced, initially by walking on our hind legs (there are several different theories as to why this might be, the most recent being that an area flooded and we walked on our hind legs to keep out of the water). There is a lot of evidence to support evolution and personally it's the theory I believe. You don't HAVE to believe in it, however, as there's also the theory of Creation, that we have always been the way we are, and were put on this Earth in God's image. Your choice. Evolution only really interferes with religion if you believe everything in the bible, including Adam and Eve. If you just believe in God, there's no reason why He couldn't have been involved in our evolution.

All depends on how you look at it.

Hope I've helped
