ever heard of the saying "history repeats itself" ??

we are in a cycle man what happened in the past has an effect on whats going to happen in the future thats why

I'll explain here again. The current theory suggests:

Modern humans and Chimps WERE THE SAME animal millions of years ago. This animal would have been an ape-like creature. Some geological catastrophe created a land rift, forcing some of the animals to live on barren land, while others lived on fertile land, complete with trees. The animals that lived on the barren land evolved into humans, while the animals on the land with trees evolved into chimps.

Humans had to evolve the ability to walk upright to survive on the tree-less landscape. It helped them see predators and hunt over the horizon.



I'm extremely familliar with the THEORY of human evolution, and once again, it has massive holes in it. To be honest, if thers' no proof, I couldn't care less about "theory" because at the end of the day, all you have to go on is someone elses creative imagination of what they GUESS (variable) MIGHT (variable) POSSIBLY (variable) have happened. Not facts.

Ther eis no proof to show that humans evolved from primates. similarities no doubt. Proof? Not a drop. Or should I say..not a link.

See, that's where you're incorrect. Humans didn't evolve FROM primates, we ARE considered primates because humans and chimps were the same animal. Fossil records can corroborate the claims that modern man evolved from earlier ancestors. There is still a missing link though. "Lucy" is probably the earliest known hominid that has ties to our ape-like beginning and our modern human lineage. So, proof lies in fossil records.

"From" meaning "The source of", not "distant to". Lucy is not the missing link, therefore proves nothing more than any caveman's frozen corpse proves: That there were cave men.


Dosen't prove that primates evolved into humans. Once again..that's why it's called the MISSING link. The MISSING link between Humans and Primates.

I stated that Lucy wasn't the "missing link." Evolutionarily speaking, it's quite possible for there to be a sudden jump (huge mutation) from one species to another. But, that's probably unlikely here. Even as the early hominids began to roam Africa and then migrate, species took hundreds of thousands of years to evolve. Evolution on a large scale is slow. A missing link between that first animal that was a common ancestor between chimps and humans, and the first human-like creatures exists if it's true. It just hasn't been located yet. Africa is a huge place bro. But, you can't merge science and religion here. If you look at ths scientifically speaking, then you have to conjecture a relation to chimps because we share 98% of their genes. If you bring God into the equation, then it begs the following question: "Why would god make us almost 99% similar to chimp?" ...Was God recycling genes or something? Come on. I'm scientifically trained and I have faith in God. But, I have no conflict between the two because religion answers why, while science answers what and how.

In short, you're right, the missing link hasn't turned up. But, that doesn't rule out the possibility.

there is also proof that all the continents were once connected as a whole, and split apart and who's to say that maybe evolution was taking place around the same era that was and maybe the 'missing link' lies in the ocean somewhere,

oh and I have a question to ask, do you think there is life maybe not in this galaxy but in another, i remember reading something saying something like they've found a planet and according to them they say it's like another earth, with water and land, do you think its a possibility?

ionno if this is true but my RE teacher showed us a pic of what scientists believe is the nail going through the foot of Jesus.

Is that true?

is what true? them finding "THE" nail

or did jesus really get nails put through his feet?

Tha Q. 03-14-06 05:08 PM

LOL...I love just considering the possibilities. I have no doubt where I came from. I'm made in God's image, fearfully and wonderfully.

Y'all can believe what you want, when you want. As for me, I choose to believe and serve the Lord. uh

PERIOD.

The bolded portion isn't 'possibly' unlikely, it's definitely unlikely. That would mean this evolutionary leap took place and spanned 2 evolutionary states in one life time for EVERYBODY in that species?? Nah, we both agree that that is not possible.

As for everything else, I agree there are similarities. But a solid and proven connection? None found. Till there's a connection, it's all guesses and assumptions.
