Why do Christians get pissed when evolution says we came from apes, while their god made them from dirt?

I don't get pissed, I just don't believe you. Why do you get pissed if someone suggests we were made by a higher being?

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.

No Darwinist who understands evolution would ever say that humans evolved from monkeys.  The answer in evolution is that monkeys and humans share a common ancestor.\n\nSHARE A COMMON ANCESTOR\n\nRepeat that prase a few dozen times until you finally wrap your head around the fact that only creationists and idiotic atheists who don't understand evolution (but have an agenda against God) would ever say that the theory of evolution teaches man descended from monkeys.\n\nEvolution holds that all life is related.  Hence, you also have a common ancestor shared with the house cat or with the frog, but your common ancestry is more closely shared with the monkey than the cat, and more with the cat than the frog.\n\nPlease check the following link.  Please.  It's not about evolution.

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!

some of my ancestors were headhunters...they actually took pride in eating they enemies...\nIf there is any validity to evolution then you and I ain't nothin but intelligent decendants of monkey brains.\nHowever,if the holy books & all have the truth & nothin but the truth then we all got black in us,therefore,you raggin on all these white folks for nothin...

I beleive in Adam and eve.\nThe only explanation why we are here.\n\nEvolution.- To some extent.\n   I dont beleive humans evolved from apes\n   But I do believe in Survival of the fittest.\n   Giraffes with short necks couldnt survive cause they couldnt reach the tall tress after the ground was barren................ something like that.\n\n  Evolving from apes does not make sense- why did they stop evolving if they evolved before.\n   Why aare there no intermediates between apes and human.\n\nIf God created animals, and earth, and stars and suns, than he must have created humans too.

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.

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.

It’s hard for human beings to grasp every phase of evolution, but that really isn’t evolution’s problem, especially when we are talking about the small scale things.  It’s hard to actually picture the change, but just because someone (like me) doesn’t have the imagination to picture it, it doesn’t matter.  Evolution doesn’t need me to understand or even believe in it.  Aleins did not create eukaryotic cells, don’t be silly.  Then again, we can't disprove it so it must be true (that's the logic christian like to throw out there as far as god goes so it can work with alein's too, right?) lol :)

because christians get pissed when you make them think! ;)

For all - let's get our facts straight. Christianity evoloved out of Jewism. Jesus was a Jew and the Isrealites were Jews. Christianity evolved from this. We are NOT all decendants of Adam and Eve - the Isrealites were. Were the other white people come from  is a mystery. There were some angles outside the garden and  what other people there were - we don't have an idea. I don't beleive in evolution but are also having a hard time believing creation. So who were outside the garden..maybe the animals and who created them...no idea

we evolved from one specific species of apes. evolution is a constant, dynamic process, that cen be seen even now as you look around. you have to be intelligent and have common sense and pay attention, and not beleive everything that is written. for proof, just look at the weather forecasters - almost everything they say is wrong, or they just flat out lie. I think they lie - nobody could screw up that much and keep a job.

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

One huge misconception about evolution is that the sequence is fixed. The apes *are* evolving. They are changing in response to their environment. But that environment is different than the one our ancestors had 3-6 million years ago. So they won't change in the same way our ancestors did.

Please, give me an example on how it disagrees. Thanks! If we evolved from apes, why are apes still in exsistance?

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

Hahahaha! ;p  Nice retaliatory question.  My guess is, Christians have angry avatars to reflect their anger at the world for promoting science as opposed to forcing Biblical ideas down the throats of all.
