hello everyone , I am new on this forum reading around for the last couple of days. I am no expert on either theory but just have one question for those that believe we were not always in this human form , a question that has always bugged me and no friend of mine has satisfied me with an answer.
If we indeed evolved from something else (apes, chimps , etc.) into what we are today and the process took millions of years where is the chain of species between the two extremes (us as humans today and the chimp, ape at the other end)
The answer most of my friends have given me is that everything that branched off from that chain of link died off , but I tell them that seems all to convenient that every single thing died off and not even one line between existed
If someone can please answer me that question.
I do believe our bodies evolve from generation to generation depending on the environment around us but I believe we still remain humans with different bodies and the same applies for animals etc.
For the sake of complete honesty I am a Muslim that believes in God and understand that not everything in the Koran needs to be taken word for
this is an honest question and not an attempt to say this is right or that is wrong , it is something that always bugs me.
