LOL!


1.  I've said that to people forever to those who believe in evolution...if that was true there would be no monkeys and apes.

8.  That is funny how they lock those.  On a recent road trip to Florida, I use to go in there and piss all over everything just to spite them for locking it and me having to ask for a key!

9.  I guess he's both!

12.  Just wondered that myself the other day.

14.  They were probably just happy to have bread.

17.  Succeeded in failing.



.....And one that I've always wondered....
When people say "That's selling like hotcakes".  I work in a grocery store and if we have a sale on All Detergent for $1.69 (which it was last week), I would be willing to bet it sells BETTER than hotcakes.  How would you say the All is selling then?

Evolution is mutation. Only a "selected" few mutate (evolve) while the rest stay the same. If that selected few's mutation makes them dominant they multiply while the original organism they mutated from stays the same and still exists.

But wouldn't some of the off spring still be monkeys and apes?

Yeah... OR, the same guy that invented the monkeys invented us (since science has proven it's impossible to create life from inanimate matter)....

.....also, why aren't monkeys and apes STILL evolving then?

^^ Because evolution is bullsh*t

The genetics mutate therefore making a whole new species. This is what I've learned in school loooooong time ago so it did explain why humans can't breed baby monkeys and so forth. I can't remember. Read up on "Natural Selection".

I believe in God but I don't believe we were created out of a mountain or wherever Adam and Eve came from.

If that's true then why aren't any more monkeys and apes mutating?  Why did it stop?

A lot of new monkey species are being found in rainforests that never existed before. It takes thousands of years for evolution to occur also.

I'm just telling what I have learned in school whether it be bullshit or not. They have very detailed theories that make sense. I don't really know what to believe though. It's all theories. Not truths.

Monkeys and apes haven't stopped evolving at all,though human interference might slow it down. The reason we still have monkeys and apes is that when humans evolved they didn't compete with them so there was no reason for them to go extinct because of the evolution of our species. There are no other highly intelligent uprightwalking enviroment-changing monkeys or apes that are able to build spacecrafts or Simpson-mugs.And evolution allways goes on,if you don't evolve and thus,adapt,you go extinct.It's as simple as that. We dont fill out the same niche as mandrills or howler monkeys or chimpanzees or even tarsiers,so they haven't been outcompeted. It's a normal occurence to have primitive and more highly evolved creatures coexisting at the same time if they occupy different niches.
for example:
Okapi and giraffe
barbets and toucans
same case for humans and apes.


and dont you ever call evolution bullshit.You probably dont even know the slightest bit about it,except the stuff you can find in every dumb schoolbook.

humans didn't evolve from apes.  We share over 98% dna with apes but we did not evolve from them. There was a group of animals previous to humans and apes that were in trees and the first "humans" left the trees while the ancestors of the apes stayed. The group that left the trees became humans and the group that stayed in the trees became apes

That's a misunderstanding,unless you don't see urang-utans as apes! It's like this,when adressing the evolution of apes and humans we get gibbons as the first split from the evolutionary way leading to us,followed by the urang-utan at about 9 million years ago,gorillas at about 6, and chimps and bonobos at ca. 5 milion years. From then on,all "apes" splitting off are "human",that is,above the level of chimpanzees.
It's true we didn't evolve from the modern apes,like you said,but we are derived from more primitive apes.

That makes me wonder how humans will look in a couple million years if the Earth survives that long. We'll probably mutate and adapt to the horrible environmental problems and grow some wierd shit.

Or maybe we'll just go extinct...as a matter of fact,the chance we evolve into another species is getting smaller and smaller because there's more and more racial mixing,this isn't racist or something but by mixing we reduce the chance of a new,mutant population evolving,while it is the coming of such populations that is the first step to a new species or a new design.
I just love the process of evolution,it's so interesting.

Hmm, Didn't Trauma prove about 3 months ago that evolution was impossible? The simple cell, which makes up all  matter in the universe, dies if it is mutated in any form; it has hundreds of components, and if any of them aren't perfect, the cell dies.  Therefore, the cell could have never mutated to it's present condition, therefore, MACROevolution is impossible.  Evolution is the only subject in which science ignores ALL the evidence, and just grabs at straws, all evidence points to the organisms on earth being designed by something.

Pleeeeeeeeez,I don't know where you got this from but it's crap.Mutations are all around us. The albino is a mutation. A deformed 6-legged frog is a mutation. All but one human skin colour are mutations from the original colour.(don't know wich,might be black with humans being from africa). So that alone kills your argument. Evolution is far more logical then a allmighty creature coming from nowhere and "creating" everything. What did you say about impossibilities and unexplainable occurences ???Seems like this is a major one for you  ;D. For another example,
take for woodpeckers. Woodpeckers are very widespread.They exist at Bali they don't on Lombok wich offers completely the same enviroment and possiblities for woodpeckers.Yet they don't exist here. Why didn't God place woodpeckers over there at Lombok as well?Seems strange. A whole island completely suited for woodpeckers but they aren't there while they are present at a neighbouring island? Only evolution can explain that. Either the woodpeckers spreading over the islands were unable to come to Lombok because they aren't the best of fliers and couldn't cover the distance or they did exist there but got extinct. You need evolution for both.
Might seem flimsy but penguins are a VERY good example of evolution. They are flightless and marine but they do have the full flying equipment of a "normal' bird. This is because they descended from flying birds that evolved into flightless divers and evolved there wings into flippers. For the same reason,whales have hand bones and bats have fingers to stretch their wingmembranes.They are structures wich evolved cause they were put to another use.
Why wouldn't God have given them fins or birds' wings? Hadn't they proven sufficient for fish and birds?Please think about that.

I don't have to come to my senses because i'm allways there. But don't be afraid I'll let you keep your outdated,nunnatural beliefs.
I'll let it to you for now cause,
"Where foolishness is good,it's folly to be wise."
I know I'm right anyway,wether you think so or not.

NATURE RULEZ!!! ;D ;D ;D
