Oh My Master
Do forgive me, which theory of evolution do you believe in?

I have a better idea.
What parts of it do you disagree with?
See, I already know a good bit about evolution, what it is, what it isn't, and all that. So I have an informed opinion. I'd like to see your opinion and whether or not it's an informed one.
 
     
 
i believe in evolution, not in "intelligent" design, or anything else
     
if we evoled from monkeys we all be stupid because monkeys are stupid!!!! scream stressed cheese_whine .and i would be a manic!!!!!!!!!1 cheese_whine wahmbulance

Based on this post, you are a manic. neutral
 
     
 
i am exactly sure that we did NOT evolve from monkeys
maybe charles darwin is but we r not
coz look
at the book of genesis in the bible
if u read the first 2 chapters(i guess)
it is said that we were created by the god
and he created the world too
     
feeeeed
hmmmm feeeeed
feed!!!
GRRRR
FEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!!

Bible also says the earth is flat and that pi = 3.

It's clearly not a reliable source.

Don't forget that space is made of water and that the moon produces it's own light! surprised

I belive that the origin of the species is through their evolution over some millions of years. As it is said in Darwins theory of evolution.
If you need proof of evolution, it is said that the fruit fly Drosophilia sp, I don't remember which species correctly, have split into two new species over the last century, evidence based on their genetics. Or something like that.
     
Look, I say we can have both sides of the story at the same time. To clarify further adaptation which is the pre-curser or early stage of evolution occours though the reproductive process of dominate traits. The more dominate or diserable the trait the more likely it will be present in future generations. Such as the lengths/sizes of various parts of the animal's body. This typically allows for increased chances for survival and possibly to better preform their niech or however you spell that word meaning 'job'.

During the ice-age there was a mammal which is the evolutionary ancestor of the modern Giraffe. Through mutations that occoured within the early stages of cell division for the fetus or through cellular metosis for the parents of some or several of this species became more pronounced such as the neck. The trees at this time were also evolving into taller trees. So those that could not reach the leaves died through a lack of nutrition or breed out of the gene-pool. Over time and subsequent mutations we got the modern giraffe.

Now then, personally I believe that we evolved, but the conditions may have been altered, slowly, by god to favor humanity. Kinda like how some mutations are not beneficial but are in fact harmful such as those which cause irregular cell growth aka cancer. This prevents evolution from happening while alive in nature as a form of natural selection. Leaving out humanity's understanding of medicine and such.

DNA mutations occour as the result of copying errors, and/or enviromental mutagens such as sunlight/radiation, elements/atoms, etc. This means that cells which do not correctly copy when they undergo cellular mitosis die-off as they are unable to preform their jobs in most cases such as feeding and dividing. However in the event the error in the copy does not prevent it from dividing in the future a new cell, with a new/different genetic code forms or has evolved.

In terms of more complex multi-cellular organisms. Such mutations can only be passed on and truely 'evolve' through that organism's reproductive process. Such as a sponge that reproduces by budding. If there is a natural mutation/growth that is different from the original organism and it breaks off/away from the parent sponge, that new sponge may exhibit characteristics of a new kind of sponge. We have to accept the fact that the fossil record is incomeplete due to the difficulty of fossilization or rather the conditions required for it. However the one evolutionary thing which no other animal seems to exhibit is culture which is dirived from consiousness aka the soul. So, in a way, I think we came from monkies and their ancestors, but at a certain point, if not all along we were helped by God.

Notes: The greek philosophers had a form of evolution, similar to ours in popular concept. Interestingly they also had their own atomic theory. Furthermore readers might wish to research Asian, particular Indian(as in India) religions and philosophies as some of their concepts were things such as the earth being billions of years old instead of thousands or millions.

And now to see the responces I get lol.

No, we did not evolve from the monkey. We share a common ancestor.
I believe in evolution and natural selection, because it has solid evidences. Natural selection can be observe in microbes which duplicate much faster than mammal. This is how bacteria become drug resistant.
     
thats just as stupid as the big bang theory

If only more people were as stupid as Big Bang theory.

I mean, here in M&R we have kind of a schizophrenia on the subject. We either have 'My faith tells me homos r bad' or we have Eteponge.
Yes, I do believe that we have evolved from the ancestors of monkeys and apes. I believe this because its SCIENCE AND FACT. How can a person (god, jesus, whoever you god worshiping people call him) CREATE ANOTHER PERSON (by yourself)?!? And how can someone rise from the dead without our modern technology? jesus is not real, or whoever he is.
