Argument thread

fair

 

How do you know that people evolved from monkeys? Call me a conspiracy theorist or whatever if you want but I believe types of animals can only adapt so much. I only believe in adaptation, not evolution. For example with giraffes, maybe just maybe there were some short-necked ones who died and the ones with longer necks survived due to having the more favorable trait to get food. But the idea that they started out as something other than a giraffe and just "wanted" to be able to eat food off of trees and grew an insanely long neck is absurd to me. I believe people are made in the image of God, and monkeys are not. So I don't believe we evolved from monkeys. Evolution still doesn't solve the problem of where everything came from because the evolution had to start somewhere. So I would like for you to show me one shred of evidence that we evolved from monkeys, and I don't believe because we are "similar" it means we evolved from them, so if that's you're evidence, I do not believe it is actually evidence.

 

But is this actually evidence? What evidence do we have that this happened for sure?

 

i think we found bones and **** that proved evolution took place from monkeys afaik

 

How did it prove that?

 

to quote the Washington Post's article about evolution, "In 2009, scientists discovered the partial skeleton of a creature called Ardipithecus ramidus in Eastern Africa. "Ardi," as she's known, had thumblike big toes she used for climbing like a chimp, but her hips were also adapted to allow her to walk on two legs. Then there's Australopithecus afarensis, the species of Lucy: It combined the powerful lower jaws and long, strong arms of tree-climbing chimps with the small canines, larger brains, and curved spines of bipedal humans. **** habilis, which lived roughly 2.4 million to 1.4 million years ago, had some of the primitive traits of the earliest hominins — a pronounced brow ridge, large teeth. But it also showed signs of traits we consider essentially modern — it was capable of handling stone tools and had a bulge in the area of the brain responsible for speech."

so uh yea...we're technically 100% ape lol

 

lul yea, its that one word that comes before sapien

 

just because someone wrote that doesn't mean it's true

 

I don't believe anything the Washington Post says

 

i don't really either, but if i truly wanted to spend time finding an obscure article that would've said the same exact stuff that Washington Post said, then i would've done so already

 

I feel you

 

good point. But discoveries have been proven false in the past. For all we know, in ten years it's going to come out that those skeletons were fakes.

 

so two skeletons are all of the proof?

 

*cough* book of mormon *cough* bible *cough*

 

thats just how science works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, its a never-ending game of "what the hells goin on in life??"

 

not at all lol. first off, 3 skeletons were mentioned in that quote AND we've found numerous tools and much more from early primitive life that suggests evolution

 

But you can't bring up things and present them as facts and evidence when you readily admit that they easily might be false, and you have no clue whether they're true or not.

 

I anticipated that but it goes both ways. Also I don't believe in the book of mormon and my belief isn't just based on the bible
