Is my wife correct to say evolution & creation are both right? As women came from God & men came from monkeys.

No it is not true except for you and your wife.

No, but I think modern monkeys and I had a common ancestor a very, very long time ago.  When a family diverges, they start getting different pretty quickly, depending on who they marry.  If one of my more recent ancestors went to China while my branch went to America, we'd look rather different now, wouldn't we? Why is it so hard to believe a more ancient equivalent, except because you are trying to take literally something which was written when scientific knowledge was extremely primative?\n\nScience and religion have two different goals, two different world views, and two vastly different vocabularies.  Religion is writing about things so beyond human experience that our words just do not fit, and we have to resort to symbols.  When you look at ancient manuscripts and ponder the symbols, you get a lot more than you get from words which have been sorted through any number of translations and interpretations since they were written.  Not a single word of the modern Bible (and remember, you go into a Bible Bookstore, you will find a great many modern versions, not just one) was originally written in English.  The writers had probably never even heard about that far-off island, and English as we know it had not been born.\n\nPlease, don't ridicule those of us who accept the theory of evolution as the most reasonable one.  We have let you continue to label it "theory" once most the rest of us have accepted it as fact.  Don't ask for more!

yes!\nWe share 95% of our DNA with monkeys. We have watched the evolution of animals as they have become more adapted to their changing environments. Humans have been able to teach monkeys to communicate too. It seems obvious to me that god created a universe that is ever changing and growing, not stagnant. Why is it so hard to believe that god may have started evolution? Maybe Adam and Eve were the first man and woman but not created from the dust of the earth? Just a thought

Either you believe Gods Word or you dont.  There is no inbetween like believing God allowed evolution.  God said He created everything in six days, do you take it by faith or do you need proof.  Their's the 2 choices.  Its not that difficult.

Yes definately. Woman was created from man. That is why the word "man" is in the name "woman"!! The male species is more intelligent and dominant than woMAN!!!

It is 100 percent right :o).\n\nhttp://www.creationevidence.org/

The concept of evolution as an explanation for the origins of life is flawed. The theory of evolution explains the origins of species, but not the origins of life. A lump of premordial goo, no matter how well it could adapt to its environment, lacks DNA. The first cell must have had DNA to reproduce. Therefore, the first cell must have been created; that would not conflict with neither the Theory of Evolution nor the Bible. (Doesn't it say something like, "God created man from earth"? Anything organic is made from earth.)\n\nAnd that's why both the Bible and the Theory of Evolution are correct.

As said the bible is real, but whats inside is not (maybe just a fiction book). Apparently we came from Adam & Eve...Rubbish...It is fact we came from Apes...Evolution!

No. If we came from monkeys, there would be no more monkeys. There would just be us!!  lol

I believe that the source of all creation is a pantheon of gods of male, female, androgyny and sexless genders. The first creation story in the Bible (Genesis 1-2:4) calls this "Elohim" (in original Hebrew), a plural noun referring to both the male and female gender.\n\nI don't live by the Bible, as I am by no means Jewish or Christian, but I do like that it backs up my theory.\n\nI believe They all created the universe as well as the first forms of life by means of physics, evolution, and other scientific methodologies. This is my own personalized theory of theistic evolution, and you can learn more about the most common forms of it here: http://www.religioustolerance.org/ev_world2.htm

I believe that God created evolution.  Therefore, I believe in creationism.  Things evolve, but as far as man coming from beast, no way!

People did not evolve from apes at all.  My beliefs tell me that God created all things and nothing evolved from anything.  If you want to know where you came from and what your here for I URGE you to go to fathersloveletter.com and watch.  TRUST ME!!!!  You will never have any questions about creation, apes, or what u are here for at all.  Good Luck and God Bless

I believe in creation because 1) I believe God created everything and everyone for a purpose, and 2) evolution is farfetched and i would never want to believe that particals "banged" together and created earth, to only "evolve" in to what we are today.  Being a decendant of a monkey is not someting i would easily believe.

God made the first humans over 160,000 years ago and he made a lot of them, both male and female. Look around - this is the world that God has made, including evolution. God made evolution to carry his creation forward. Some of those humans, both male and female, don't have children, and some of them do. It's all part of God's creation. Isn't it great?

As much as I want to believe my religion, I feel that the evolution theory is correct . If the bible was written incorrectly or abridged by the writer of genesis to not include dinosaurs, and the timeframe infered between Adam and Eve and the creation of the Earth were different, then it would be possible that both theories are correct.

FYI  Answer one is absolute garbage, totally fictitious rubbish.  In fact this answer is a scam answer probably set up by yourself.  It would not be possible to provide this answer in that time so unless the chap has been waiting for someone like you to post this question for ever and just happened to be there when you did in order to post first, then he is you.  How stupid do you think we really are.\n\nAnswers 2 & 4 have it right.  We did not evolve from monkeys and apes, we share a common ancestor.  It would actually have been as equally valid or stupid a question to say, "If monkeys and apes evolved from humans, how come there are still humans.  To believe humans are superior in anything other than their intellect takes the arrogance of religous belief or "faith".

God created evolution.   Evolution is a form of creation.\nWhy does everyone think that God always said "poof" and it was there?  His example was the potter and the clay.   There is no time frame to God.  And man did not come from monkeys.  If that were so, why are there still monkeys and apes?  Why didn't THEY evolve?  Everything else evolved.   Man was created as man.   Ape man came from the perfect man in a regression form or de-evolution.   Most don't believe the bible because they haven't read it or just don't understand it.  If you think the Bible is fake, you are betting eternity on it.   Bottom line...you are human, monkeys are animals, not ancestors.
