Evolution is straight from the pit of hell. Imo. Lol. What's funny about it is that they would have you believe something that supposedly happened millions of years ago that no one saw.... but they don't believe something that happened 2000 years ago that lots of people did see....and wrote about..... Jesus life death and resurrection. Oh the irony.
So true Mitspa! And since everything supposedly crawled out of that primordial pool, why did the rest of the evolution stop. We should be seeing all of the stages of evolution for all animals and mankind. And isn't amazing that evolution created both male and female of everything. Not only that, but after evolution was done creating, it decided that it also had to create food for all of those things that crawled out of the primordial pool.
Speaking of humans becoming monkey's, I happened to watch "2001: A Space Odyssey" and I had not remember seeing the first part of the movie which showed a scene depicting mankind's beginnings as ape/chimps with two rival groups showing one group developing the use of the bones of different animals as weapons by accident as they fight with this rival group. As soon as I saw it I was like, "EVOLUTION! Not happening!"

The bible says let every man be a liar and God be right. Adam and Eve were not monkeys, yet were made on the same day as monkeys. Who are you going to believe- man who does not have a perfect track record, who once thought the world was flat, or God Who has a perfect track record? God always leaves room for faith, because without faith it is impossible to please God. Personally, I choose to believe God, even when I don't understand every detail.

- If the Sun was scaled down to the size of a white blood cell, the
Milky Way galaxy would be the size of the United States.
- There are more living organisms in a teaspoonful of soil than there are people alive on Earth.

That reminds me of something my friend, also an ex-Darwinist, pointed out in favor of biblical creationism over evolution. In the Darwinist paradigm fowl evolved way later than everything else. In the Bible, the birds were created by God one day before the land animals. Well birds themselves clearly disprove evolution and favor creationism because a lot of their design and behaviors are key to their survival as a species. Even in the darwinistic paradigm its not really possible for them to have been able to gradually adapt their features like plumage, crests, etc since a lot of their mating habits and flock/social survival depend on these specially designed features. Even their behaviors like migration, dances, and songs and such baffle the old earthers because they go hand in hand with their design. Basically without the design first being in place and the behaviors they'd have gone extinct.
Good example of intelligent design by the God of the Bible be these feathery guys:

Regardless of the validity of evolution, i think it is important to have a proper understanding of its assertions before discussing and refuting it. So i will reiterate: "evolutionists" do not claim that people came from monkeys. If this is how you view evolution, then you are building your counter-arguments on a very weak foundation. Here is a simple analogy that may give you a better understanding of the theory: Monkeys are said to be more like our distant cousins than our ancestors. Humans do not have any monkeys as ancestors.
If you say that "monkeys did not evolve into people," Evolutionists will tell you "You are correct!" They will allege that "millions of years ago, before monkeys ever existed, great apes (the 'homo' genus to which humans belong) split from the 'pan' genus, and followed an entirely different evolutionary course (from which we have many fossils to show as evidence). Monkeys split from the 'pan' genus long after hominids, and although we share a common ancestor (probably never to be found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimpanzee–human_last_common_ancestor ), humans have no monkey ancestors."
If you do not understand this distinction, then you will be poorly equipped to discuss human origins with a well informed "evolutionist." There are many holes in the theory. But this is not one. Evolutionary theory does not claim that "monkeys become people."

Yeah we know, you will have to read the whole thread to see.
The point is there is no evidence for evolution, there are lots of theories out there and
every so often the theories change or are replaced. The theory of evolution in and of
itself evolves. Do you see how it makes no sense to believe in a theory which is
constantly changing. If you believe in evolution then what you believe now will be
different to what you believe in a few years time when it all changes again! How can
an evolutionist put their trust in something which does not know what it will be
the next day or the next.
There is lots of supernatural evidence for God and creation, I don't mean ghosts etc.
I mean that God is not bound by our limitations He operates outside the natural.
After all he created man, not the other way around. The whole of creation is a witness
to God.
He is yesterday, today and forever, He does not change.
As for the evidence, listen to the testimonies, go look in the testimony forum.
Hear what people are saying, look at the miraculous. Although to be honest even the
people who saw Jesus perform miracles did not believe what their eyes were telling them.
Why, because they were blinded to the truth, where there is God there is also Satan and
there is plenty of evidence that he exists as well. He does not want people to believe in
creation, oh no that won't do, imagine that!
God is spirit and we have a spiritual dimension to us, enquire of God, look for Him with all your
heart, lean not on your own understanding. Ask God to reveal Himself to you. Seek and you
will find. Dare you find God, that would be life changing!

I'm going to be really late for work now but for anyone who is interested i
came across this the other day and I've never noticed it before.
The writer set out that the realm was created then 3 days later the ruler
was created.
So day 1 light was created
day 4 the ruler of it was created is sun, moon, stars
day 2 sky and oceans, then day 5 birds and fish
day 3 dry land, then day 6 animals and people
I found this really interesting as Jesus was in the tomb 3 days and
Jonah in the whale 3 days etc. Was this to show Jesus was now the ruler
over the realm, over all things etc when he rose from the dead.
The ultimate 3 is in 1 John 5 there are three that bear witness in heaven
the Father, the Word (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit.

Please don't be condescending. I did read the whole thread. Some people didn't seem to grasp the timeline of alleged primate evolution, so I was trying to clarify for them. After all, the thread is titled "Monkeys become people?"
No two humans have the same genotype (except identical twins), and genes are known to mutate (change their nucleotide sequence) through various processes. Given this well known, and thoroughly studied evidence, I don't think it is irrational to consider the idea that an amalgamation of rare beneficial mutations could culminate into evolution.
That is the beauty of science, it allows for theories to change in light of new evidence. I think there is confusion here from misconstruing scientific confidence with belief. I doubt any scientists who subscribe to evolutionary theory would claim 100% confidence in their position. They simply believe that the theory is the best description we currently have for our evidence and observations.
