If you don't believe we evolved from monkeys...?

The theory of evolution never did incorporate a monkey. It was Theists attempting to demean and falsify the theory who introduced a "monkey" into the theory. One needs to understand the theory before they can intelligently discuss it.

What are they so afraid of that they seek to ignore the truth?!

Primates are mammals that include lemurs, monkeys, apes and humans.

The Strepsirrhini, or “wet-nosed” primates, which include lemurs and lorises, branched off around 63 million years ago.

Old World monkeys and apes divided from New World monkeys about 40 million years ago.

Aegyptopithecus zeuxis, which probably resembles the common ancestor of New World monkeys and apes, lived about 29 million years ago.

The apes split from Old World monkeys about 25 million years ago.

Humans and chimpanzees diverged 5-7 million years ago.

Of the macaque's nearly 3 billion DNA base pairs, 93.5 per cent are identical to those in the human genome. This is not unexpected for a species whose lineage diverged from our own about 25 million years ago. The human and chimp genomes, which diverged just 6 million years ago, are about 98 per cent identical but the Bonobo monkey has 98.2 per cent making it mans closest living relative.

One puzzling discovery is that several mutations that cause genetic diseases in humans - such as phenylketonuria and Sanfilippo syndrome, which lead to mental retardation - are the normal form in macaques and, presumably, our own ancestors.

So on each split the original got left behind to stay as it was!

The first true hominid has been shown to almost certainly arrived in the Great Rift Valley but as a product of evolving from it's monkey and ape ancestry!

Australopithecus sideba is later than Australopithecus africanus, and shares many features with early Homo. So it is, if you must, the missing link between Australopithecus africanus and Homo habilis.

In many ways trying to deny these facts is worse than the creationinsts fantasies!

Both show a desire to ignore the truth!

The Pope, Catholic Church, Church of England and mainstream churches all accept the big bang and evolution!

Lord Carey the former Archbishop of Canterbury put it rather well – “Creationism is the fruit of a fundamentalist approach to scripture, ignoring scholarship and critical learning, and confusing different understandings of truth”!

Nice that Christians and atheists can agree and laugh together even if it is at fundie expense!

But behind the laughter is the despair at the fundamentalists striving so hard to destroy Christianity by turning it from a religion to an ideology!

They won't ever understand. They've been fed nothing but creationist propaganda since they were infants and their minds are usually nailed shut.

Nope

Don't their priests tell them not to keep on parroting "it's only a theory". This makes them, their coreligionists and fellow countrymen a laughingstock

Sigh.....well. I don't believe hu,mans are just animals. Were much more-our creativity, inventivceness, spirituality.....animals are far from any of that. So no I don't believe stricty in evolution. Sorry.

They should it's not that hard

it doesnt work

thats how it works

its only a theory
