Have you even read anything that I posted? Have you looked for any evidence for evolution, or did you just decide that your understanding of evolution was all that there is to know about it? Whether or not you agree with it, you have it all wrong, and even if you agreed with it for 30 years like you say, with all due respect you had it wrong then too. It does not contradict our understanding of mating. Why do you think we would accept such an explanation if it did? If it contradicted anything, we would change it so that it would fit the evidence better. That way we don't have to stick to old beliefs religiously.

None of that actually answers my question.
Could you please go back, re-read it, and try to answer it again?

We did not evolve from ape. Learn the freaking theory first.
o how did we "evolve" from an ape if we are not its descendants? And how can we be its descendants if it cannot produce human descendants?
Learn the theory first.
Last I heard, mating between parents is what produces descendants.
Learn the theory first.
So which 2 beasts mated to produce a creature that turned into a human being and how was that possible?
Learn the theory first.
I know that evolutionists call this creature a "common ancestor". So if it's common to humans and animals, it must be half-man, half beast.
Learn the theory first.
Or was it half-bird, half beast?
Learn the theory first.
Or does no one know since it's still missing? Too many unanswered questions and contradictions for evolution to be considered plausible.
Learn the theory first. All of your questions above demonstrate a gross misunderstanding and ignorance of the theory of evolution. It's like me asking the question, "do you still beat your wife?" You could begin by legitimately asking questions rather than spouting your ignorance around. When you are ready for a serious discussion, tell us.

As I've said before, I bought into evolution for over 30 years so have studied it probably longer than you have. The notiont that just because someone disagrees with you means they don't understand it is hogwash. Unfortunately, I understand evolution all too well and it contradicts basic reproduction. First and foremost, apes obviously did not reproduce themselves, they bred offspring to which they gave the name of a new species! That's like my husband and I giving birth to andreloids, not humans. Secondly, evolution contradicts the way animals and humans mate and produce offspring which is why it is such a complex and convoluted theory. But again, the truth is always simple and needs no explanation because it's obvious and can be supported by reality.

I understand evolution all too well and it contradicts basic reproduction. Pretty much everything you have posted so far contradicts the above statement. You were given some friendly advice I suggest that you will get more out of this forum if you follow it. Start by understanding that you DO NOT UNDERSTAND anything about evolution at all. If you insist on sticking to the idea that you do you will be wasting your time here and that of others. Eventually they will give up on you. If you understand instead that you have much to learn then you have a chance of making progress and will find a number of patient, friendly and very knowlegable folk to help you.

Now "penetrate" isn't "fertilize," but I'm not sure you can catagorically say that humans and chimps aren't interfertile. And no, I'm not advocating experiments to test it out - not beyond the second cell division, anyway.
They only let it go to the second cell division before destroying it? I could've sworn it went longer.

Sorry, but i always get this statement from evolutionists who cannot answer my questions. It's easy to say, but impossible to back up. So which statements do I have wrong about evolution? The notion that we desended from apes? I have heard some evolutionists say we do and some say we don't. 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. And still others say we came from undefinable primates that looked different from apes today, but they cannot provide any evidence for them, or even know what they looked like. And still others say that we used to be able to breed with them, but others say we have never been able to breed with them. It's no wonder you don't think I understand evolution when evolutionists themselves can't get their stories straight! So which is it? The truth is always clear, concise, and simple. It doesn't avoid, invent, or contradict. So is there anything in the theory of evolution tht's factual enough that it doesn't conradict other evolutionists?

but see... there's enough to support the idea that we are a species of chimpanzee.
or is this not common knowledge?

However, people have been answering your questions.

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.
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?

omg why would they do such a thing?
i mean. i understand the ethical considerations of a monkey/man hybrid, but why would they try the experiment and not follow it through. holy crap.

It hasn't been done, not to my knowledge. Read carefully what Coragyps wrote:

Okay, so I'm not 100% a lurker on this thread, since I did post in the first 10. I just havent been back to it in a very long time.
Been reading up on the last few posts and it seems like this the core argument right now. Carico: "I studied evolution for 30 years. I know what the Theory of Evolution is."Others: "No, you don't." I don't know Carico personally, so I'm going to have to accept the 30 year thing as a given. But, let's clear this up right now. Carico, can you please describe the Theory of Evolution in simple terms. Also, can you describe what the Theory of Evolution says about the ancestory of mankind. That should clear up your level of understanding of the Theory and we can move onto to salient points.

But humans of one color are able to mate with humans of another color regardless of whether or not they want to, just like dogs of one size can mate with dogs of another size regardless of whether or not they want to. But this is moot again because humans and animals cannot mate and produce offspring together, thus proving that humans cannot be the descendants of apes.

Carico, have you read and understood anything anyone has posted so far? Or are you here just to troll? Do you actually want answers? Or do you just want to mouth off?
