evolutionists state that man DESCENDED from apes...shouldn't the term be ASCENDED????

Therein lies the basic conflict between creationism and evolution - In a creationist view, we are Ascended or above all other species, because we were created by God as the prime species on the planet. The governors of Earth and all it's lands and animals.\nIn an evolutionary sense, we descended from a common ancestor that is related to the plains' apes and gorillas, but diverged at some unknown time in the distant past, approx 5-7 million years ago. Evolution scientists are hunting for this missing link so they can prove that this is a fact - however - this missing link has not been found, and until it is - there is no hard evidence to back up a evolutionary claim.

We don't believe in Darwin's theory. Like my honey said, if man came from monkey why haven't monkeys continued to mutate. After millions of years, monkeys are still monkeys.If monkey mutated to the form of man, shouldn't  man continue to mutate to something.....

no, humans aren't evolved from anything.  they were created by God.

Well true scientist do not say this!  If evolution was true why is sludge still not evolving into humans?? shouldn'g there be all forms from sludge to crawlers and whatever?? Why haven't we pysically evolved any more in thousands of years?? We have certainly advanced in mechanization etc.\nThe Bible, which I believe is The Word of God tells us in the first book of the Bible, Genesis--In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. It goes on to tell us how God created this world with land and water etc. and then created man and the every living creature.  Still, Adam, the first man was lonely so God created a woman--a helpmeet for the man Adam and she was called Eve. As a child, before I knew almost anything about Creation I used to wonder why is a cat called a cat?? why is a dog called a dog and not called a cat--I found that answer in the Bible--Adam named all of the living creatures. I used to know a little song about the monkeys, but can't remember it very well other that it ends with I don't know about your ancestors, but mine didn't swing in a tree.

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?

God wasn't created.  He evolved from Apes.

Human beings did not descend from chimpanzees.  Rather they had a common ancestor.  It appears from recent research that initially they were not occupy seperate genus, and continued to interbreed.  Probably around the time the Great Rift Valley opened up, they divurged sufficiently for this to cease.  A likely explanation is that man, tho' genetically nearly idential to his chimp cousin at this point, was sufficiently more adaptable that he was able to sustain himself on the east side of the valley, which had become a savannah rather than rain forest.

Monkeys are NOT ancestors of humans; they share the same common ancestor. this question does not have a simple answer; you need to study cladistics and phylogenic trees such as these to understand.\n\nhttp://www.personal.psu.edu/students/a/v/avh5000/\nhttp://www.origins.tv/darwin/hominid.htm\nhttp://www.4colorvision.com/files/phylotree.htm

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.

This is one of the most common misconceptions regarding the theory of evolution.  The theory of human evolution does not claim that humans came from apes.  Instead, it says that many millions of years ago, there was a species that was neither a human nor an ape.  This species split into at least two groups.  Over millions of years, one of those groups gradually changed to become what we now know as apes, and one of them gradually changed to become what we now know as humans. \n\nWhether you choose to believe the theory of evolution or some other explanation for how humans came to be is an entirely different matter.  That's something you have to decide for yourself--a bunch of strangers on the Internet can't tell you that.

monkeys did NOT evolve into humans.  neither did apes or any other primate currently living on this planet.\n\nHUMANS AND MONKEYS AND APES SHARED A COMMON ANCESTOR.\n\nIt has been 5 minutes since I last posted this answer.

some aliens may be the predesessors of some of us humans.\n it is unlikely we evolved from apes purely, but the apelike creatures that evolved were intermingled with aliens from space about 50,000 years ago.\n read" Slave species of God" by Michael Tellinger or go to website at   slavespecies.com   and listen to audio tape.

According to current theories of macroevolution, humans did not descend from apes, monkeys, or any other species currently in existence.  A large amount of research (genetic comparisons, fossil record, comparative taxonomy, etc.) suggests that humans and modern apes had ancestors in common.  \n\nOf course, we would probably consider those common ancestors to be more like apes than humans.  (Perhaps apes would consider them to be more like us?)  This is not unexpected.  Different members of a species can and do differentiate along different paths.  Some paths are pretty straight: they don't change much over time.  Some paths wind all over the place.  The paths that survive are those that are best adapted to survive in their particular environment.  Humans are so successful as a species because we've developed the capacity to adapt to almost any environment on Earth.  That's evolution!\n\nIf you want to learn more, check out the link below!

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.

Our faith is tested EVERY DAY!! also, We believe in God, and always have, & pray every day, to ask God to forgive us of the sins we have committed. I have heard a lot of scientists, say that we all came from apes, however, NO WAY, there is no proof. Just think of how a baby is conceived, & grows, that is only the complete miracle of God!!

Far too huge a subject to get into here, check the link for information.\n\nJust to clear up one common misconception: Man did not evolve from monkeys.  Men, the great apes (chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans), and monkeys all evolved from common ancestors millions of years ago.  Men and monkeys diverged more than 10 million years ago, and men and the great apes diverged about 5-8 million years ago.

You are looking at evolution incorrectly. It is not progressive and it has no direction. Your question is ill posed.
