I dont see apes changing reallyIm simply asking questions

One does not go to the zoo, look at the monkeys and go "Ooh look at that one! I can see him evolving! That's so cool!"

No, that's not how it works, since you clearly don't know. It takes longer than a lifetime for them to evolve at all.

I suppose you, as well as lots of other people, are under the impression that we evolved from monkeys, but that's not true, because there are clearly monkeys, and humans co-existing currently. We have similar ancestry, but we haven't evolved from monkeys. Just to clarify.

Im simply asking questions
since you guys know whats true and whats not
Im just curious
why cant you guys just inform me instead of acting handicapped?
You are literally so misinformed about what evolution is that people are wondering if you're trolling or actually this ignorant of how evolution works.

Evolution:

     Have you ever wondered why your sibling has a different eye color than you? Or perhaps you are curious as to why people look different. Why is it that you don't look exactly like your parents? When new life is created, things don't always go the way it's planned. Sometimes the DNA can get messed up. These mistakes are called mutations. Sometimes mutations can make you stronger, other times they can hurt you, and still other times, they can seem to have no effect at all.
     Competition is a daily part of life, you probably compete with your friends during sports, or even in academics. In the same way, life is a competition for survival. Those who do better at surviving are said to have a higher fitness, or ability to survive and reproduce. If one creature is more fit than another, it is more likely to produce similar offspring. Over many generations, these positive mutations can build up, and bring around a new species.
     You can look at evolution like making a new cake recipe, if the cake doesn't taste good, you are not likely to make it again. However, if something you do results in a better cake, that cake may be recreated several times in the future.

Thanks

So, why dont you inform me more?
Its like when I asked my teacher for the assignment I got a 0 on
and looks at his sheet says "Yep you got a 0 on that assignment" and walks away ._.

Why don't you take it upon yourself to educate yourself?

Seems like I could learn more from you guys

You're playing dumb. You want to be taught.

The problem is you will probably refuse to take in this new information.

It's not hard to figure out your games.

I don't know what the curriculum in America is like but you should probably know the basics of this already.

It's different everywhere. The first intro I had to evolution was in the 7th grade.

I might be wrong, but I think that generally people don't like to look stupid. So when people argue about something on the internet, they genuinely think they are right. And with something like evolution, if you argue against it, you are probably misinformed, because if you had been informed you wouldn't want to look stupid.

Right yea Im misinformed about evolution

And the likel"y"hood that everything was caused by an all-powerful omnipotent being who got bored one day and created the universe is balancing three elephants simultaneously giving birth to bathtubs on a single needle.
Is it easier to say God created, or:

The four physical forces of the Universe are completely in tune, that if altered each in any way by 1/1.0 x1020, would yield drastic results, and to say it happened, by chance.
The current subatomic particle mass is perfect, by chance.
The atmosphere of the earth has the perfect composition, by chance.
The existence of abundant water on over 70% of the Earth's surface, whereas it is rare in the universe, by chance.
Earth's habitable position within one of 3 types of acceptable galaxies, distance from a star, type of star we orbit, age of star we orbit, and placement in the galaxy, happened, by chance.
The Cambrian explosion, in scale with the history of all life on Earth in theory in a 24-hour period, occurring in 2 minutes, by chance.
99% of all mutations are harmful, most organisms do not inherit their mutations.  Evolution, by chance?
The fossil record after Darwin theorized it, has not expanded since; there are no intermediate forms.


The odds are close to 1 in Infinity.



Evolution's theory is primitive, a simple addition problem:      Time + Mutations + Natural Selection = Evolution

If there would be an equation for the Universe, God would be one hell of a mathematician.



Personally I think it is easier to acknowledge that a super-natural being exists is alot easier to say, since evolutionists seem to need more faith than Christians do in what they believe.

It has nothing to do with chance. Jesus loving Christ.

If evolution is primitive, what do you call 'God did it"?
