Re: Back down and consider for a minute
Sorry, but i always get this statement from evolutionists who cannot answer my questions.
However, people have been answering your questions.
It's easy to say, but impossible to back up.
It has been backed up. You have made a number of false statements about evolution. That's already pretty strong evidence that you don't understand the theory of evolution.
The notion that we desended from apes? I have heard some evolutionists say we do and some say we don't.
That's partly because you have worded your posts poorly and ambiguously.
  • In Message 233 you wrote "They didn't turn into dogs like evolutionists say apes turned into humans." That makes it sound as if you are talking about an individual ape magically turning into a human, and not as a matter of descending from humans.
  • In Message 240 you wrote "Is it or is it not true that evolutionists believe that man came from the ape?" By using "the ape" you make it sound as if you are referring to a specific ape, presumably one of the ape species alive today.
  • In Message 246 you wrote "Are you saying that animals spontaneously turn into other species without mating?" Again, you seem to be using "turning into" as something different from descent.
  • In Message 37 the message to which I am responding, you use the phrase "desended from apes", which could refer to an earlier species no longer found.
    You appear to be talking about many different things. That's why you are getting many different answers.
    If you want clear answers, you need to ask clear precise questions.
    Others have made up a fictious beast called a common ancestor who have traits common to both humans and primates but cannot explain how this common ancestor acquired those traits.
    Did you just pop into existence, out of nowhere at all - maybe during a recent thunderstorm?
    Maybe you are a descendent of your great great great great great grandmother. That's what many of us would assume. But you cannot describe all of the traits of your great great great great great grandmother, nor can you tell us how she acquired those traits. Based on your own way of arguing, should we assume that your great great great great great grandmother was fictitious?
