If evolution is not real then why did God create monkeys?

You have an oxymoron here. If you believe in evolution then nothing was created. If you believe in creation, then nothing evolved.\n    Monkeys evolved just like all other living things here on earth.If you believe that God created monkeys, but wonder why, ask about bed-bugs, the aids virus, mosquitoes, why created envy, greed, lust.  Whoever created the good, also created the bad.

The more I learn about evolution, the more it doesn't make sense. I am a very new Christian. If you told me a year ago that creation makes more sense than evolution, I would tell you that you were crazy. No transition fossils for any animals "evolving" into another animal have ever been found. I don't deny there is a lot of changes occurring in living things over the generations–it's called variation (also called micro-evolution). For example, there are chihuahuas and there are St. Bernards.  They all have a common ancestor–-and surprise–-it's a dog.  This is what Darwin observed.  The idea of survival of the fittest does not come to a logical conclusion when the animal turns into a different animal.  \n\nThe span of time since the earth “began” keeps getting longer and longer by evolutionists' measure.  Fifty years ago, it was in the millions of years.  Now it's billions.  This keeps growing to make it fit evolution.  Since no living person has ever seen evolution take place, and evolution has never left a record to prove it exists, it needs to have happened so SLOWLY that many generations of people (since recorded history began thousands of years ago) have never witnessed it.  The more evolutionists learn, the more they have to change their estimates... because evolution is not possible with their older estimates.  \n\nThe same amount of faith is needed to believe in evolution as creation.  However, evolutionist have an advantage because it is REQUIRED to be taught in school.  The alternative theory is not even allowed to be mentioned in school.  Schools are even getting in trouble these days by pointing out that evolution is a theory and not fact.  People call evolution science, but science needs to be able to be observed and/or replicated.  Evolution can do neither of these things.  What other scientific experiment do you know that has no proof, no conclusive evidence, so many missing pieces, consistently proving itself wrong, but instead of ruling that it must be false, they change the input to make it work. If scientist did this with any other experiment, they would be laughed out of their jobs. There have been many evolution hoaxes created throughout the years so that there could be some “proof” of evolution.  Some of these were found out to be hoaxes decades ago, but are still found in science textbooks today.\n\nYes, creation has to be taken on faith because you can't prove it other than what it says in the Bible.  But evolution also has to be taken on faith because you can't prove it other than what it says in a textbook. Your choice (that is what free will is about), but I would just recommend that everyone FULLY examines both sides before concluding one is right.

creation or evolution?

Sir Arthur Keith (Evolution Expert) himself said it best: "Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We [evolutionists] believe it because the only alternative is special creation [God], and that is unthinkable." \n\nWhat proof do we have of evolution? None at all.  One responder said you were "simplistic"...another cited the "proof" of amino acids.  Any honest/knowledgeable inquirer would recognise that those were VERY simplistic answers.  He wrote "Next comes single cells...".  Wow!  That was an easy transition...and where/how does he maintain the possibility of that? Those do nothing to support their theory, but I guess its all they've got.\n\nWhile we struggle to find the elusive "missing link", in reality there are missing links between every species. How does DNA suddenly decide to produce something other than it is programmed for? Where did those first single celled creatures come from? Where did the matter for the "big bang" come from? \n\nThere is no proof that you are reading this letter as a result of an explosion 14 billion years ago. The evolutionist accepts that origin by "faith", just as the believer accepts our Creator by faith.  However, the current scientific evidence does not support evolutionary theory, rather, it refutes it.  Why does is live on?  Because in the effort to find the origin of life outside of God, its all they've got.

We evolved from primates, but not monkeys specifically.  We did not evolve from birds although we do share a common ancestor with them a long ways back.  Although evolution has not been conclusively "proven" it is supported by a preponderance of evidence and accepted by the vast majority of the scientific community.  And hutsong's "evidence" against evolution is primarily fictitious.  Don't be fooled by his authoritative manner - he's still full of crap.\n\nFor a defense of evolution see my answer to this question:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiUBrphbhCO3D7mQOX5JXrrsy6IX?qid=1006032117223\n\nAnd these links:\nhttp://www.txtwriter.com/backgrounders/Evolution/EVpage16.html\nhttp://evolution.berkeley.edu/evosite/lines/index.shtml\nhttp://fermat.nap.edu/html/creationism/evidence.html\n\nOr go to your local library and find an introductory biology book.

Well, I think so.  I'm a biologist who accepts the fact that evolution occurred, but I don't use that to try to prove that God doesn't exist.  I'm also a born-again Christian who doesn't doubt a single word in the Bible.  Evolution is nothing.  I frankly don't see what the big deal about it is.  The real enemy is Materialism- those pseudoscientists who think the physical universe is all that exists.  That's not the same thing as evolultion.  One can still believe in God and simply think evolution was a tool He used at times.  But you can't be a Materialist and still believe in God at all.  People should understand that they're disputing about a worldview, not about facts.

God is Creator of the Universe (Big Bang). He created not only objects and stuff. He also created the laws the universe would develop. Thus evolution is one of the laws God prescribed to Nature.\nI expect this would not satisfy your parish minister, as all of them are conservative. But here and there the Holy Script is not translated correctly because unlike other dead tongues the ancient Hebrew (not modern) is mostly vague. But Bible is still a very great scientific book. The modern theory of evolution (and Darwin’s as well) is not flawless of course. And there are evident facts!\nThe issue demands more space and time to discuss it here. Sorry!

Creation... Evolution is said to be based on logic but even the smartest professors in whatever it is that they do admit that evolution has never been proven... The whole Big Bang thing... If it were true where did that little molecule com from??? Get real people... God created everything...

Evolution is one of those very dangerous subjects in which just knowing the surface of the subject can be misleading.  Humans did not evolve from monkeys.  We evolved from the ancestors of current apes.  Think of it like a fork in the road.  The apes took their path, and we took ours.  And all evidence does point to Darwin's theory of natural selection being correct.\n\nEdit:  To those of you saying that evolution only occurs over thousands of years.......this isn't necessarily true.  Over the last 50 years bacteria have evolved to become antibiotic resistant.  Since bacteria reproduce on a much shorter time period and they don't have the DNA repair mechanisms that eukaryotes have, their DNA mutates much more rapidly than ours.\n\nAlso, monkeys will NOT eventually evolve into humans in 1000 years as one person claimed.  Humans are not the tip of the evolutionary tree as some would like to think; we are just another branch on the evolutionary bush.

Exactly. Humans did not evolve from primates. The theory of evolution is full of holes.

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

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.

becuz we didnt evolve from monkeys.\nhonestly if u idiots want to say u evolved from a hairy stupid animal then go ahead and make fools of urselves.\nyea yea the ape is smart not as smart as humans.

First of all, God created us to be like apes, preferably chimps. Second of all, maybe he thought they looked like one of his best creations, so he made us to be be like them.

Ummmm Last time I checked humans have never evolved into monkeys.  However, there has been a lot of scientific research indicating that apes may have evolved into humans over very long amounts of time.   Evolution is something that occurs over an extremely long amount of time... if humans started living in water now- in thousands of years we could live like a fish. Do your research and don't judge people on what they do or do not believe. That isn't very Christian-like is it? Christians are supposed to be really nice and respectful aren't they?  The Bible could hold some truth, or it could possibly just be a way of setting good morals. No one knows for sure if God exists, and thats a fact.  I think you need to do some research.... I mean good grief- you thought we evolved into monkeys. I think you're a little backwards.  haha!

Darwin never said man evolved from monkeys.  He said man and monkeys share a common ancestor.

because evolution is false.
