Darwin's theory of evolution hasn't been proven, in fact most evidence proves otherwise. A lot of scientists don't believe in evolution. There is no more evidence to support Darwin's theory of evolution today than there was when Darwin came up with the theory. I don't see how anyone could believe in evolution because there isn't enough evidence to support it. Science itself refutes Darwinism.\n\n• According to the theory of evolution, at some time in the distant past there was no life in the universe -- just elements and chemical compounds. Somehow, these chemicals combined and came to life.\n\n• However, scientists don't really know how life came to be. Even Stanley Miller, whose experiments are cited in most biology text books, says that the origin of life is still unknown. The idea that dead material can come to life all by itself is not consistent with scientific observation.\n\n• The leading mathematicians in the century met with some evolutionary biologists and confronted them with the fact that, according to mathematical statistics, the probabilities for a cell or a protein molecule coming into existence were nil. They even constructed a model on a large computer and tried to figure out the possibilities of such a cell ever happening. The result was zero possibility! - Wistar Institute\n\n• Professor Edwin Conklin observed, "The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the Unabridged Dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop."\n\n• Under normal circumstances, creatures give birth to the same kind of creatures. It is established scientific fact that like begets like. On rare instances, the DNA in an embryo is damaged, resulting in a mutant child that differs in some respect from its parent. Although a few mutations have been scientifically observed that are beneficial, most mutations produce inferior offspring. For the theory of evolution to be true, there must be a fantastic number of creative mutations that produce new kinds of offspring which are better suited for survival, and therefore are favored by natural selection.\n\n• Darwinists claim that the reptile-to-mammal evolution is well documented. But for reptiles to evolve into mammals at least some of these transformations must have happened: \n• Scales had to have mutated into hair. \n• Breasts had to have evolved from nothing. \n• Externally laid eggs had to evolve into soft-shelled eggs that were nourished by an umbilical cord and placenta in a womb. \n\n• It has never been observed in any laboratory that mutations can cause one species to turn into another. Despite this, evolutionists believe that given enough time, some animals will eventually evolve into other creatures. \n\n• Evolutionists claim that although we have not actually observed these things happening, that does not mean that they are impossible. They say it simply means they are extremely improbable. Evolutionists think the world has been around long enough for all these highly improbable things to happen.\n\n• Sir Fred Hoyle, of Cambridge University stated that statistically the chances of one cell evolving was the same as a tornado passing through a junkyard and giving you a fully functional Boeing 747.\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/arguments.shtml\n\n* Scientific evidence casts serious doubts on the theory of evolution, for example:\n\n* The Fossil Record (Updated 3 July, 2005)\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/fossil.htm\n\n* Living "Fossils"\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/living.htm\n\n* The Cambrian Explosion\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/explosion.htm\n\n* New T.Rex Discoveries (Updated 10 June, 2005)\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/t-rex.htm\n\n* "Missing Links"\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/misslinks.htm \n\n* The Big Bang\n http://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/bigbang.htm\n\n* Anthropic Principle

Humans and monkeys evolved from the same common ancestor.\nNow humans and monkeys are seperate species. \nComparisons between chimp and human DNA show the two species share 95 per cent of their genetic material.\nMonkeys aren't going to change into humans - this has nothing to do with Darwin's theory on human origins.

good lord, the level of the ignorance here is amazing!  please, see gs saint's answer, people.\n\n-man did not evolve directly from monkeys, he evolved from apes\n\n-there are still apes around because not all apes evolved into humans, only those in a certain locale did.  the environment man lived in was diffferent from the environment of the apes, spurring him to evolve in a different manner than chimps or bonobos.\n\nTurkishGamer13: it is not a flaw in the theory of evolution.  the coexistance of humans and other primates is fully supported by evolutionary theory, and is what would be expected if eveolution were true.  Umm, just about every characteristic of organisms today started out as a mutation.  Many mutations are harmful, because it is not likely that a random change in a being is going to be beneficial.  Some are though.  I have no wisdom teeth, and my dentist says i never will.  this is a mutation which benefits me.\n\nKajaK: science is moving away from evolution? LOL, read a book on the subject. there are controversies among biologists about the details of evolutionary theory, such as whether evolution occurs gradually at a steady rate or quickly in rapid bursts.  but these controversies do not affect the strength of the theory itself.  Evolution is one of the strongest scientific theories - it is independently confirmed by all different branches of science: chemistry, biology, paleontology, anthropology, geology, ecology, etc.\n\namrmusicqueen: yes, the thousands of scientists over the past 100+ years, working with the most advanced technology, and who have devoted their entire lives to research, study, and experimentation in the issues of biology are ignorant about their subject.  Thousands of PhD's who have each spent decades studying the theory of evolution, trying to find flaws (if a scientist was able to disprove evolution, he wuold be one of the most famous scientists ever, so there is a lot of incentive for scientists to over turn previously established theory) are ignorant about the subject.  But a girl who has never studied the subject (this is a justified assumption, because if you had, you would not be so quick to make hasty generalizations) is qualified to pronounce evolution as "not-cutting it."  LMFAO.

We didn't come from apes. Apes and humans have a common simian ancestor, but the species evolved separately.

Actually, Darwin NEVER said we evolved from monkeys! (Quoted from my Biology Professor at LSUA). There is this huge creation/evolution stink going around, but all evolution states is what has already been stated...the survival of the fittest, or natural selection.  Now he DID say we could have all resulted from ONE COMMON ANCESTOR, just so happened that the monkey developed one way, and the humans another way, but he doesn't say that we evolved from monkeys or apes or whatever.  The result is evolutionary adaptation, the accumulation of inherited characteristics that enhance organisms' ability to survive and reproduce in specific environments.  In modern terms, evolution is defined as a change over time in the genetic composition of a population.  in 1859, Charles Darwin published a book called "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection".  Look it up and check that out.

We did not evolve from apes. I find it hard to believe evolution can create two different species.  That's like a cat evolving into a duck.

It is thought that man came from ape like ancestors, not quite monkey's.  \n\nIt could take hundreds of thousands of years for macro evolution to occur.  Wait around that long, and i guarantee there will be NEW species.  So it is still happening.\n\nThe fossil record is not complete because fossils are hard to come by, not everything fossilises despite contrary belief.  In fact it's amazing we have as much info as we do.\n\nHow on earth does it take less belief to believe in a god, there is no evidence whatsoever for this!  At least evolution has enough evidence to fill several hundred warehouses, what do you have, testimony.. Yeah right, thanks, i'll keep to evidence, not faith to inform my decisions about the world around me.

simple: humans didn't evolve from monkeys!!! :D yeah, I believe in creation too-- and the God who made it.

Chrales Darwins theory of evolution from apes is wrong! If we EVOLVED from apes, why are apes still here?? Chrales Darwin evolved from Adam and Eve the same as all mankind\n\nDr Pratt

look at the monkeys man if we all evolvoled from them then why are there still monkeys, were they to stupid to evolve with us or what? nope i say we are as we always were if not why havent we evolved farther?

♥♪♦♫ yes it was said that humans are oringinated from the ape family. I hope that I have helped you.♥♪♦♫

I don't belive in evolution. If we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys today?

You guys are brilliant!!\n\nFirst of all, more than one species can evolve from one- due to enviormental factors.  So no apes do not have to be extinct for us to evolve from similar creatures.\n\nSecond, it is only a matter of oppinion that humans are superior.  If humans are so smart, why do they continue to damage the enviornment and overpopulate the earth?  Isn't that like biting the hand that feeds you?  Where are we going to live when we destroy the earth?\n\nAnimals would be able to thrive without our intervention through natural selection and adaptation.  \n\nEvery other animal has evolved- Even humans evolved in the time since we have started keeping records.  We as a species have gotten taller and less hairy.  Noticably.  You can not convince me that humans didn't evolve.  All evolution is, is change.  Everything in this world changes.

Did really humans?  chimpanges?  I have not a clue.\n\nI would suggest, you may have evolved from under a rock.\n\n.

Did you ever take into consideration that both theories are correct, God created some people and others evolved from apes, look around you and you will be able to see the results of these two phenomenons. People are always wanting to prove or disprove one theory or the other, that accounts for the confusion and hopefully this will clear it up for you and a lot of other people.

I don't believe in evolution either but if you really get down to it and put the concept in another form there is still no way to prove it.lol.If we were evolved from apes then there would be no more.I mean come on who here resembles an ape?I mean not bein mean but some colored guys do but thats it that's unexplainable as well.Evolution is fake it is just sumthin that Darwin thought up because he was jealous of a man named GOD.

we didn't evolve from apes, but we do share a common ancestor\n\nbtw:  humans are technically apes too.
