@atif07an08 If you really want to learn about evolution there is no better alternative than taking biology courses, especially in universities and colleges. The evidence is overwhelming and permeates through so many aspects of life. Evolution is by far one of the most important theories of all time.

[ColdVolcano22]

@atif07an08 Actually we do look quite similar to monkeys and apes, more-so than we do to any other animal. We have books filled with genetic DNA evidence and we share 96% of our DNA with Chimpanzees. Depends on the monkey: Orangutans, Chimps, and Rhesus Monkeys have 48 chromosomes for example, others have 42-54.

We can't mate with other primates due to genetic drift. The divergence is greater than it is for say, a tiger and a lion, which can still mate, but produce sterile offspring

[atif07an08]

@ColdVolcano22 this is all unproven though. have we found a monkey that looks similar to a human ? no. we have no DNA proof. monkey DNA has one less chroma-zone than human. and if we were descended from apes we as their descendants even though we look different should be able to mate with them but the truth is we cant if we were related our genetic pool would be compatible but it isn't. i could go on and on for hours but im out of space

[ColdVolcano22]

@atif07an08 They evolved, we are their descendents. In a way, you could say they haven't died out because we are them, we are primates. The same way children are a little different from their parents those monkeys had offspring that were a little different from them. Over generations these changes in genes became very noticeable and so today we are a different class of species.

There are many videos on youtube about this. The proof is vast: DNA, fossil, historical, social, psychological etc.

[atif07an08]

@ColdVolcano22 ok proof why did these monkeys die out?

[daNDayati]

@ColdVolcano22 for sure.. and I agree.. and yes I have...

[ColdVolcano22]

He undermined himself with the story about the pig heart transplant. The fact that we can use organs from other animals to replace our own further supports the Darwinian theory of evolution: all life on earth shares a common ancestry.

He tries to explain this away by saying that god turned some people into pigs and monkeys and that's why the organs are similar. What about cows then? Did Allah turn people into cows as well? Because we can use cow organs too.

This man's ignorance is astounding.

@Ronaldo93680 The monkeys today are our distant cousins, we did not evolve from them. The monkeys that we did evolve from no longer exist because they died out thousands of years ago. We are descended from them. Please read about evolution by natural selection, it is a basic concept for anyone who wants to even begin to understand biology.

[ColdVolcano22]

@Ronaldo93680 Please don't take this the wrong way, but your statement reeks of ignorance about scientific inquiry. A theory in science is not at all the same as a "guess". The word theory in scientific terminology means something much more profound than it does in casual terminology. Theories explain facts. Ex: grass is green = fact. Why is grass green? Theory explains that. Please watch the following video and others like it for more information

@daNDayati It's not just Muslims, Christians are just as bad if not worse when it comes to denying evolution. Ever heard of the Creationist Museum?

[ColdVolcano22]

Another idiot who knows nothing about science but wants to preach on the topic. Why do religious people continue to allow people such as this guy to embarrass them?

[StopSpamming1]

@Ronaldo93680

We, humans, "came from" monkeys? What does that mean?

Does a motorbike "come from" a car?

All books say "Theory of Gravity" And "Germ-Theory" and "Theory of Music". And. And. And.

But if your prefer to listen to lies, then go ahead, ignore the truth. Maybe it's easier and better for you.

[Ronaldo93680]

@StopSpamming1, if we came from monkeys, why do we still have monkeys? I have not seen a single book, that says facts of evolution, all the books I have seen, says theory of evolution.

[funkseoul]

monkeys never turn to any other form, what's with this evolution brain. humans are turning to the ways of monkeys. the believers of evolution, please dont leave your brothers & sisters in the jungle without the civilisation that you enjoy. They sure miss you guys a lot..... lol

[daNDayati]

what a horrible person... lies with ease, conviction .

[daNDayati]

this is a deceitful presentation... estes is a dealer in hokum playing with a gullible crowd that needs to hear validation of where science and evolution "fails" and islam handily fills in the blanks.. no wonder muslims only account for less that 1% of scientific research..

[StopSpamming1]

Evolution "Lacks any real, testable evidence"?

What century did he grow up in?

Why doesn't he rather learn and then teach Muslims not to embarrass themselves with the ignorant and stupid monkey questions?

[killer4hire]

Islam poisons the rational mind.

The video and the reactions from Muslims demonstrate this.

They are not capable to apply methods of truth seeking to Islam the same way it is applied to everything else.

[10186dollar]

mate, get the actual facts and real evidence in scienceislam com

[speedss60]

@RaoPaoer but whats the evidence Mr. scientist?

[averick11]

what does the evidence say, not "common sense"?

[rlinfinity]

No it doesn't.... Sigh.

[mikkars250]

@emperordeebo like?



[mikkars250]

@TheAwesomekman It evolved from a mouse.

[mikkars250]

@IvanKolosnik evolution is a scientific theory, just use google and look up a diagram of an evolutionary tree and it will explain it for you.
