Evolution and Religion

Okay, maybe I should have named this "Evolution and Fundamentalist Christianity". Oh well. Hope you enjoy!

Yes, that is my 2 month old son in the background, crying at the end.

Christians believe in evolution, however, just because we have certain characteristics as monkeys, it does not mean we come (evolved) from them. God created Monkeys with 48 Chromosomes, and humans with 46. I do not understand why is it so hard for people to understand that? Why do people want to relate themselfs so much with animals? Humans are humans, and animals are animals, that is just the order that God set up. God bless.

@SoySiervoDeDios1

Human Chromosome 2 is a result of a direct fusion of 2 primate chromosomes. This is why we have 46 and our primate cousins have 48.

Evolution isn't an article of faith, it is a demonstrable process that is utilized in just about any biological field today.

@michamus

So your saying that humans are apes. From your example, isn't that just like saying my cousin is me??

Which I'm pretty sure that's not true.

[michamus]

@TheLarsonator10

Your analogy fails in that a category is not a living thing.

To category humans as apes is akin to saying you and your cousin are close relatives.

To maintain the current analogy:

Hominidae = Great-Grandparents

Homininae = Grandparents and Ponginae = Great-Aunt/Uncles

Hominini = Parents and Gorillini = Aunt/Uncles

Homo = Humans, Pan (Chimps & Bonobos) = Siblings and Gorilla = Cousins

Please explain this to me if humans came from apes then how come apes are exciting still??

[michamus]

@TheLarsonator10

This is like asking "If my cousins and I came from my grandparents, then why are my cousins still around?"

Humans are apes.

@TheLarsonator10 the thing is we didnt come from apes we came from the same family homo's as michamus said its one of the weakest arguements on this topic

[hirstyrox]

@SoySiervoDeDios1 hahahah religion is all about humans are above everyone else. its disgusting

[swandike]

@SoySiervoDeDios1 I do not believe in evolution as being taught in schools. but I do know that after certain point in time, there could be micro evolution which will just result in new species, but they still can reproduce with previous specie. God made this way so we have difference colours, sizes, shapes of everything. I dont think God will make us bored with same type of everything. That is why this happens. yes we look like apes, but we are not apes. the difference is very very very wide.

@SoySiervoDeDios1 - Evolution does not say we came from monkeys. We have a common ancestor. Please GET AN EDUCATION. The problem with every single one of these arguments is that the person taking the religious argument is completely uneducated in science. If you spent 1/10th the time studying REAL science that you spend reading the Bible and going to church and praying, in a matter of weeks you would realize just how ignorant you have been.

@michamus I understand, im not saying evolution (development) does not exist. Evolution does exist, however, people (Scientist and Theologians) disagree because of their interpretation. When it comes to explaining "missing links" there is always going to be dissagrement between people, because in order to come up with the correct interpretation, you have to study Origen Science. Origen science is not happening in front of our eyes, like the Operation Science, therefore, we believe what God says.
