They were a seperate species living alongside homosapiens, and only dying out fairly recently. We are related, but we are not descendant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you knew anything about evolution you would realise no-one claims this. You are no more decended from monkeys as you are descended from your cousins. Ian <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought evolution was the evolving of blobs to humans......... (and the monkey comes somewhere in between!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that could possibly support this claim is the fact that Elohim made the first man out of the dust of the earth. How about that spin on this scientific perspective?

Idicy isn't a nice word. People on here are rarely idiots, but they're often deeply ignorant of the claims that science makes. They have trusted people who were either ignorant themselves, or have deliberately duped them into believing that science makes claims it doesn't really make. In their ignorance of the actual claims of the theory of evolution, they then believe by some awful "common sense" reasoning that an implied prediction of evolution is that Monkeys should not exist. No such prediction is made by evolution, but people that assert this rarely know the first thing about the theory, and have never had it taught to them by an authority on the subject. Some are wilfully ignorant of course, but many we should pity and educate, not condemn. Our presence on this board should be to give a hand up, not a put down, to those who have not had the chance to be enlightened by the great subjects and theories of science - an opportunity for people to learn what they might otherwise never have known!

Awful, but the problem is more complex than that. It's the teachers, the ammount of Christian homeschooling (eurghghg), the extent of Christian propaganda against evolution in the evangelical community, a general mistrust of science growing in society, and to a great extent kids just don't want to believe in it, because it contradicts their religious indoctrination. So you've got a variety of issues in play here, but yes, evolution is taught very very poorly in schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
