We don't get any choice in  who we descend from. Secondly, you could argue that God planned the evolution process as many Christians argue - it is the position of the Anglican church. The Catholic position is that man may or may not have descended from the apes but God is responsible for man having a soul. Secondly, any development of evolution must ultimately be the result of God's work whether it be through evolution or other mechanisms.\n\nIndeed, Christianity or other religions with similar cosmology do not claim that man is descended from God - rather, the claim is that God made man. In Christianity, Jesus is the son of God and thus God's only descendant. \n\nI assume you are aware of the famous riposte from Thomas Huxley who invented the term agnosticism to Bishop Samuel Wilberforce.\n\n"If the question is put to me would I rather have a miserable ape for a grandfather or a man highly endowed by nature and possessed of great means of influence and yet who employs these faculties and that influence for the mere purpose of introducing ridicule into a grave scientific discussion, I unhesitatingly affirm my preference for the ape."

What is your question? Is religion man-made? Of course it is. Man created God and then claimed that God created man.\nIt works for a lot of people.  It works for me.  But I respect the belief systems of others--such as atheists, which you seem to be--and I know everything doesn't work for everyone.\nBTW, I know people who actively worship "the old gods" like Ra--they aren't all just crossword puzzle words to some people.

Islâm is your Birthright \n \n\nMankind and the universe were not created by accident or chance, but according to the plan of the Creator, who is known as Allah (lit.: the one God) in Islâm. The Qur'an states that it is the duty of all individuals to learn about Allah and to live according to His will. As we cannot accomplish this be ourselves, Allah has sent messengers and prophets to guide humanity All of these chosen individuals have brought the same message and have served as examples to their people of how Allah desires all human beings to live. Through these selected people, we have been told why mankind was created, what will happen to us after death, and what Allah expects of us. But most importantly, we have been told that Allah is unique-He has no partners, no sons or daughters, and no competitors, as so many other man-made religious systems have postulated. This message always remains the same, whereas the laws laid down for a particular might show some slight differences.\n\nMuhammad, the last of Allah's prophets, was sent to present Allah's revelation in its final form and for the last time. This was necessary because the message delivered by the previous prophets and messengers had been corrupted or distorted by their followers. They had been mixed with philosophical speculations, superstitions, myths, and neglect. Therefore, Islâm is not a new religion-it is a restatement of the original religion of Allah in its purest form and is designed to provide humanity with the uncorrupted message of Allah.\n\nIslâm is an Arabic word that denotes submission and obedience to Allah. It also means "peace," for it brings peace of mind as well as peace on the individual and the social levels.\n\nTHE FIVE PILLARS OF ISLÂM\n\nIn Islâm, the term "worship" covers any action that one does in accordance with the will of Allah. It can be mental, physical, spoken, or otherwise. All such actions will be rewarded.\n\nThere are five acts of worship that are so fundamental that the Prophet grouped them together as the five pillars of Islâm. Every Muslim is expected to fulfill these obligations. They are:\n\nTHE DECLARATION OF MONOTHEISM:\n\nRecognizing and acknowledging the monotheistic nature of Allah stands at the core of Islâm. This consists of a public affirmation that "there is no god but Allah (God), and Muhammad is His Messenger." One cannot be a Muslim until he states this fact in the presence of Muslim witnesses.\n\nPRAYERS:\n\nA Muslim must perform the five daily prayers. These must be performed at specific times, corresponding roughly with dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset, and nightfall. The prayers can be made in any clean place, but it is preferable to pray them with others in a mosque, for this communal undertaking acts as a reminder that all Muslims are equal. When many people are praying together, it becomes clear that color, economic status, social position, and all other artificial distinctions have no importance to Allah, for all Muslims are commanded to stand together, shoulder to shoulder, and prostrate themselves before Him. There are no exceptions. Prayers also elevated the individual to a higher level of morality, purifies his heart, and helps him to resist his desire to engage in forbidden activities.\n\nFASTING THE MONTH OF RAMADAN:\n\nEvery year during the Muslim month of Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food, drink, and sexual activity from dawn to sunset. While this gives the body a much needed rest and improves ones health by getting rid of excess weight, it also increases ones commitment to Allah, develops his social conscience, and reminds him of how the less fortunate live every day In addition, it strengthens one's patience, self-restraint, will power, and sincerity.\n\nCHARITY (Zakat):\n\nEvery Muslim whose net annual savings are above a certain specified minimum must pay an annual amount of 2.5% to the poor and needy This action purifies one's accrued

I am a Christian, and I believe the world was created by God. Every finest detail was His idea.\n\nLet me staff my point. Scientist of today believe in evolution. This theory states that everything you see today was created by chance. It states that right in the beginning, a little one-cell'ed animal fell into the ocean by accident. This animal started to grow and learned to swim and to have kids. Later on, it found out that it could live on land, and (over millions of years) grew feet to walk on. The evolution process went through all the different stages of animal life, and at last humans came into existence.\n\nMy first objection towards this is that, if humans were evolved, two humans had to be "evolved" or "born" at the very same time for humans to continue to exist. It is insane to think that mankind came from only the evolution of one man. There had to be a number of men which "evolved" at the very same time. Now that is a lot asked.\n\nI want to tell you a story which Sir Isaac Newton used to prove that evolution is false. One day, one of his friends (a devout evolutionist) was sitting at Sir Isaac's desk. Sir Isaac was busy doing some work. The friend was busy admiring a very beautiful model of the universe which stood on Sir Isaac's table. \nThe friend then asked, "Who made this thing?"\n"No one," replied Sir Isaac bluntly.\n"No, really, tell me who made this thing. It is very beautiful." said the friend.\nTo which Sir Isaac replied, "All the pieces of that model were just lying around here, and they all just started to drift toward each other, and one day when I came here, this beautiful thing was standing on my desk!"\n\nI think Sir Isaac really answered the question.\n\nHope I helped you out on that one...

Origin of Islam: According to Secular History\nThe origin of Islam can be traced back to 7th century Saudi Arabia. Islam is thus the youngest of the great world religions. The prophet Muhammad (circa 570-632 A.D.) introduced Islam in 610 A.D. after experiencing what he claimed to be an angelic visitation. Muhammad dictated the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam, which Muslims believe to be the preexistent, perfect words of Allah. \n\nOrigin of Islam: According to Islam\nThe origin of Islam is generally accredited to the prophet Muhammad but to the devout Muslim, Islam began long before Muhammad ever walked the earth. The Qur'an was dictated by Muhammad but, according to the Qur'an, it did not originate with Muhammad. The Qur'an testifies of itself that it was given by God through the angel Gabriel to the prophet Muhammad. "This is a revelation from the Lord of the universe. The Honest Spirit (Gabriel) came down with it, to reveal it into your heart that you may be one of the warners, in a perfect Arabic tongue" (Sura 26:192-195). "Say, 'Anyone who opposes Gabriel should know that he has brought down this (the Qur'an) into your heart, in accordance with God's will, confirming previous scriptures, and providing guidance and good news for the believers'" (Sura 2:97). \n\n_________\n\nAccording to an Islamic site:\n\nDuring the time of Othman, the third Caliph, Islam spread fast and many companions moved out of Arabia. Amongst the many countries and provinces that accepted Islam were Syria and Iraq, but their language was not Arabic. One of Prophet's companions, Hothaifah-ibn el-Yaman, during his visit to Syria and Iraq learnt that people were reciting the Qur'an in different modes or style. This disturbed him very much and upon his return, he requested Othman to reproduce and distribute copies of the Qur'an that would help Muslims read or recite the Qur'an in a single consistent manner to avoid any conflict. \n\nOthman appointed twelve members, headed by Zaid to write the Qur'an in the mode of the Quraish, the one used by the Prophet in his recitation. \n\nZaid along with the other companions, reproduced a number of copies based on the original volume produced during the time of Abu Bakr (refer to previous section). The handwriting was to agree with the Arabic dialect of the Quraish. These copies maintained the order of the Surah and the Ayat (verses) within the Surah as laid down by the Prophet and memorized by the Qur'an bearer. Of the completed official copies Othman ordered three to be sent to Syria, Iraq and Mecca respectively and one to be kept in Medina. The original manuscript was returned to Hafsah. \n\nOthman then ordered that all the other Qur'anic materials whether written in fragmentary manuscripts or whole copies be burnt. This was a precautionary measure taken to prevent any future conflict in the mode of recitation or otherwise. Thus preventing the Qur'an from fabrication or corruption \n\n\nRead more by clicking the Answers button @ http://web.express56.com/~bromar/

We were not created by chance.  God was lonely and need companionship so he created Adam.  The rest of us descend from Adam and Eve.

since you didnt insult islam finally in a question, let me try to answer you as a friend.\ni dont think it is true, because if god created a monkey first, then monkey would have been mentioned in a good way, not in a bad way, you get my drift ?\nit would have been hollier if it was the first form of life.\ni think god created monkeys looking like us for a reason, i dont actually know it but maybe he wanted us to look at a brainless version of us and thank him for the brain and intelligence he gave us.

Islam - A Historical Perspective   \nby Syed Abul Ala Maududi\n\nIslam began when man's career on earth began---more precisely at the time of man's creation and his descent. Allah created Adam and Eve and enjoined them to worship Him and live a life of obedience to the Divine Will.\n \n Allah is the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe and of human beings. Man must turn to Him for sustenance and guidance. The very word Islam means obedience to God. In this respect, Islam is man's natural religion---the only natural course is for man to look towards Him for guidance.\n \n The day Adam and Eve were sent down to live on earth, Allah told them that they were His servants and He was their Master and Creator. He told them and mankind that the best course was for them to follow His guidance, to obey His orders and to refrain from what He had forbidden. God said to them that He would be pleased if they obeyed Him and in turn He would reward them. If, however, they did not heed His commands, He would be displeased and would punish them. This was the simple beginning of Islam.\n \n Adam and Eve invited their children to follow the Islamic way of life. They and their children and their later generations followed the teachings of Islam as propounded by Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) for quite a long period of time. It was only later on that certain people began disobeying Allah. Some of them began worshipping other gods of their own making, some of them regarded themselves as gods, while a few others even declared their freedom to do as they pleased--defying God's orders. This is how kufr (disbelief) came into being. Its essence lies in refusal to worship God--pursuing the path of defiance to the Creator.\n \n When kufr (disbelief) began to increase and multiply it affected the life of society in a number of ways. Exploitation, oppression, viciousness and immorality emerged in different forms. Life became intolerable. Allah then appointed some righteous people to preach the Message of Truth among the wrongdoers, invite them to the Right Path and convert them to God-fearing people--worshipping and obeying God Alone. In short, they were asked to perform a mission--to make people righteous and true Muslims. These noble people entrusted with this great mission were called Prophets or Messengers of Allah. Allah sent these Prophets to different nations and countries. All of them were honest, truthful, and people of noble character. All of them preached the same religion--Islam. To mention a few names--Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus. All of them were the Prophets of God and thousands of them were, over the centuries, sent into the world to guide mankind.\n \n In the history of the last few thousand years, one can see the recurrent arrival of Prophets whenever kufr(disbelief) increased and assumed menacing proportions. The prophets tried to stop the tide of disbelief and invited people towards Islam. Some people adopted the Islamic way of life, but others rejected it. The people who followed the Prophets became Muslims and, after learning higher ethical and moral disciplines from them, began to preach and spread nobility and goodness. Having forgotten the teachings of Islam, later generations of Muslims themselves gradually sank into disbelief. Whenever such a situation arose, God sent a Prophet or Messenger to revive Islam. This continual arrival of Messengers of God continued for thousands of years. In the course of those long years, Islam was revived by those Prophets, who restated the Message forgotten by their people. At long last God sent the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who revived Islam in such an outstanding fashion that it still exists today and will continue to exist (God willing), till eternity.\n \n The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born in 571 C.E. in the now famous city of Arabia called Makkah. Islam had no following in Arabia at that time nor did it have any following anywhere else in the worl

Well, I am a believer but I will answer your question anyway---\n\nGod said: “Let us make man in our image.” (Ge 1:26) What a historic pronouncement! And what a singular position in history Adam, the “son of God,” holds—the first human creature! (Lu 3:38) Adam was the crowning glory of God's earthly creative works, not only because of the timing near the close of six creative epochs but, more importantly, because “in God’s image he created him.” (Ge 1:27) This is why the perfect man Adam, and his degenerate offspring to a much lesser degree, possessed mental powers and abilities far superior to all other earthly creatures.\nMade in the likeness of his Grand Creator, Adam had the divine attributes of love, wisdom, justice, and power; hence he possessed a sense of morality involving a conscience, something altogether new in the sphere of earthly life. In the image of God, Adam was to be a global administrator and have in subjection the sea and land creatures and the fowl of the air.\nIt was not necessary for Adam to be a spirit creature, in whole or in part, to possess Godlike qualities. God formed man out of the dust particles of the ground, put in him the force of life so that he became a living soul, and gave him the ability to reflect the image and likeness of his Creator. “The first man is out of the earth and made of dust.” “The first man Adam became a living soul.” (Ge 2:7; 1Co 15:45, 47) That was in the year 4026 B.C.E. It was likely in the fall of the year, for mankind’s most ancient calendars began counting time in the autumn around October 1, or at the first new moon of the lunar civil year. \nI hope this helps an unbeliever to believe.

God "creates" all humans in that he is the designer of the universe and if you read Genesis 1 (as I'm guessing you have) then you'll find that God created Adam from the dust of the ground.  The trinity (though something I would agree with in principal) is not something directly mentioned in the Bible, but it illustrates that God is 3 in 1 (The Father, Son and Holy Spirit/Ghost) as he exists as a Heavenly Father, Jesus (who walked the earth in human form and who was fully God AND fully man - difficult concept for many to grasp and I'm not saying I have a definitive answer either!) and the Holy Spirit/Ghost - the form in which He lives within our (that is born-again Christian's) lives.  I believe that Adam's "inherant" intelligence was like ours is now though he did not have the advantage of "evolutions of thought" that have occured over the (12,000?) years that the earth has existed.  Also, Jesus was born of a virgin (i.e. one who had not had sex) through the power of God the Father, thus although he had an earthly mother and father (Mary and Joseph), he was not conceived as a child as you or I were.\n\nTo summarize, Adam was created from the dust of the ground as a "young?" man, not conceived of any parents but Jesus was conveived of the Spirit, that is God, and born of Mary, a virgin, as a babe.  What we need to remember is that God's foolishness is higher than man's or woman's intelligence and wisdom.  Don't expect to know all the answers to the universe...  That's God's job!
