Why should people be immune?
HIV isn't traced back to an origin in one species of monkey. The direct ancestor of HIV is believed to be the SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus) in chimpanzees, which itself is believed to have arisen from a hybridisation event between two different viruses found in monkeys - the red-capped mangabey and greater spot-nosed monkey. Many different African monkey species have their own type of SIV, all of them having evolved from a common ancestor to become adapted to different hosts, and one of which eventually became adapted to humans. Now, as it happens, the human form of the virus doesn't work in at least some types of African monkey, and one explanation put forward is that the old-world monkey form of the protein TRIM5-alpha, which works as part of the immune system in primates, seems to prevent the virus from shedding its protective protein coat and reproducing. Because, however, humans and old world monkeys have different forms of this protein, on account of them evolving seperately for millions of years, the human form doesn't work against HIV in the same way (if it did, the virus would never have become HIV, as it couldn't have infected humans). Note that this protein doesn't protect the monkeys against various forms of SIV - those versions of the virus adapted to infect old world monkeys. So I don't understand your point. Why should humans be expected to possess the same form of a protein as cousins that our ancestors split from some thirty million years ago (give or take 5 million)?

If the HIV virus got blocked, ok...when evolution was occuring(tell me how this could have happened in the first place, did food do it?, what can we do to make less hair growth, since a monkey has alot of hair, that means we could reverse hair growth, we can't is my point) How can any class say the T5 protien can block anything, when no one has ever seen evolution occur? We can only today, slow it down. If this happened, how come some of us are not immune to HIV. I don't get any evidence from anything here, PHD or what in whatever, the factors in not believing in evolution is far greater than an athiest point of view. This history show was all about evolution in how it happened, and is nonsense. Can't believe they are teaching this in schools.

What i looked up on a document, they did only come from a green monkey, people would eat green monkey, and get HIV, is how the spread occured. Talk as much science as you want, can we reduce hair growth back to it's original state, with being that hairy, evolution does not make sense, we look so diffrent, what made us change???? our faces are set in, there noses are so diffrent, you would have to believe that food made this change, and monkeys working together, that is like us getting smarter, and turning into a bird.

Because it is true.
Google "HIV immunity" and check it for yourself. It's not so strange: I was born with a natural immunity to small pox and chicken pox. These immunities are one reason plagues and epidemics leave some survivors. Dost thou prate, rogue? -Cassio Real things always push back.-William James

Even if monkeys have diffrent protiens, when they evolved, some of us, would be immune to HIV, and some would not, in this case we are not immune to HIV, none of us, chicken pox is totally diffrent, a WBC virus, is what it is, affects the body in high levels of concentration, that is why we don't even have a vaccine for it yet, like chicken pox, i was immune too. If monkeys are so similiar, we should be able to reverse hair growth, to be ultra hairy, and be able to pop out our faces by not eating the food that caused evolution as athiest must believe, since it is obsurd with evolution. A human can not turn into a diffrent animal, by eating, or doing something diffrent that is against thier nature, we can't fly, or do alot of stuff animals do. How do you explain other animals with evolution, with being able to breath under water, what makes that happen??? that is a aquired natural characterisitc, that alone says evolution is not true, and that there is a GOD.

"To be protected, people must inherit the genes from both parents; those who inherit a mutated gene from just one parent will end up with greater resistance against HIV than other people, but they won't be immune"
This proves me correct, in a sence that some of us would be immune and some would not. I LOOKED It up on google. Read More Genetic HIV Resistance Deciphered | WIRED

I have no idea what it would be like to find out that so many of the people I respected were telling me falsehoods.
To discover that my teachers and parents were raising me to believe in lies and propaganda would probably rock me to my core. It would also be very difficult for me to hear strangers point out the flaws in what I was being taught.I guess I would probably just covers my ears and say "La la la! I can't hear you!" Cognitive dissonance FTW. I wish you strength and good luck.

It is rare to get paired up with someone with the same gene, to have a child that is immune to HIV, to get HIV proves that, we don't know who has it.

DO christians believe this, yes, and is the only practical reasoning, athiest should become believers, if they just think for themselves. You need to stop right there. Evolution has nothing to do with Christianity or Atheism and if you keep asserting that it does everyone will just know that you are either ignorant or deliberately posting falsehoods. The fact that evolution happened and is happening and that the Theory of Evolution is the ONLY model that explains what we see is acknowledged by most Christians. In the words of the Clergy Project Letter:

Secondly the typ of food you eat does not efect things on such a scale granted if a species starts to eat diferent foods their digestive systems will evolve to acomodate that typ of food better though tis does not happen instantainusly it happens over a long time and lots of generations. i think you do not know what evolution is and you think things happen in an instant they dont it takes time and lots of generations and mutations. as for the hair part well there are people that have fur problems their whole body is coverd by furr like hair the gen that regulates this mutates.

Yes it does, if you believe in evolution, you don't believe in GOD, you know why? It states in the bible that GOD created each in his own image.
