Re: You are a Monkey 2 |
The more statements you make, the more you prove your cranium is shallow.
Even a dumbo is aware that there are many indigenous jungle tribes in places
like Africa, Philippines and Indonesia who are still living in the stone
age. These people are still evolving. For your own sake, at least watch
Discovery Channel or National Geographic.
Are these people mentioned in your bible?

Since Darwin told the world,that human came from evolving from Apes....
then after evolving for so many billions of years,all Apes would have been
transformed to human beings...and Apes will be Endangered Species.
You will not be able to see Monkeys in the zoo,because all of them had
been
evolve into Human Beings...

These tribes do not prove evolution. Calling their lifestyles evolving
is patronising and arrogant. Discovery and Natgeo, of course, are
pro-evolution and present only one side of the argument. You might try
to balance your reading with www.answersingenesis.org, even if you must
stick to your own views.
For your information, there are many intelligent people, not just
dumbos, who believe in intelligent design. You don't have to abandon
your brains to believe in God.

If all people are created at the same time, i.e. simultaneously, then how is
that some groups are still in backwater and others are far more advanced
than them?

Be rest assured. I did not pose a loaded question. Nor is it my intention to
prove my superiority over the tribes who are struggling for existence in
damp forests and whose existence is threatened by the poaching of land by
greedy civilized men. These tribals are living proof of evolution.
Modern science and paleontology state that all the creatures living on earth
have emerged slowly during millions of years, during which, more
sophisticated forms of life have risen, eventually leading to the formation
of man as the epitome of creature. It did not happen overnight as some
religions profess.
As for the intelligent design concept, I feel that it is a frail defensive
tactic adopted by creationists to ward off the onslaught of evolutionists
and an attempt to prove that the Genesis account is true.
Well, if creationists want to believe the Genesis in toto, they can continue
with living in their own make believe world. After all, were not the works
of Galileo and Copernicus condemned by the Church as heresy?
I believe that a fact will remain a fact irrespective of what people make it
out to be. Applies to Evolutionists as well as Creationists.

I hope that this is not a loaded question. I am, for now, giving you
the benefit of the doubt and taking it as earnest. I'm no expert but
genes and environment come to mind as possible cause, amongst many many
other possibilities. Before you say that genes (a-la natural selection)
proves evolution, check out the website I gave to you previously.
You may also want to ponder these questions: "Why are there different
rates of evolution so that today you see organisms from bacteria (very
basic forms) to human beings (highly sophisticated)? Will human beings
evolve into any higher animals or are we 'it?' If we are 'it,' then
does it make us special, which points back to intelligent design?"
In your posts, you let on that you feel superior to the groups in
"backwater," "jungle tribes" or those "still living in the stone age."
I urge you to banish these thoughts. One thing for sure is that
Creationism teaches that all men (and women) are equal, no "kind" is
superior to others and, therefore, encourages everyone not to
distinguish people on the grounds of race, colour, creed, etc., which
would effectively stamp out racism. Hitler believed that Aryans were
superior to all the other "groups" of people he persecuted.

I note your views. Though I don't agree and it's obvious you don't
agree with mine, either, I thank you for your civility.
