    Default proof humans evolved from a common ancestor of apes

    well not undeniable proof with fossils but with are own genome.....and this is coming from Francis Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, a Roman Catholic and author of "The Language of God"

    ok science is not meant to disprove god so shut up about that.....

    second it does say we evolved from a common ancestor of apes

    if you don't see why that proves evolution then you are seriously delusional....

    note: also the colossal amount of evidence for evolution....it's there just look it up......this is just to say yup we are apes lol...

    interesting fact, every animal shares a common ancestor. When we are in the fetus stage we have gill sacks. woot lol.

    About this, Evolution is a FACT. not a theory. so he worded his argument wrong, he meant to say that if it didn't work the Theory of Evolution was wrong. but Evolution occurs and anyone can say it doesnt, but it does, and its a FACT. How that happens we don't know tho.

    The second you pressed "New Thread" it turned into a flame thread. You always seem to post stuff about religion. And yes evolution ties in with religion.

    I don't care if it hurts some religious person's feelings every other idea is attacked so why not religion......not that science is attacking it at all....


    heck the guy who was speaking in the first video is the head of the genome project and a roman catholic himself.......so it proves you can believe in god and evolution...even if I myself think that would be delusional....

    note: any scientific discoveries I post here will offend a relgious person.....

    I wouldn't exactly call this proof since that couldn't exactly be proved either, you guys can degrade yourselves and say that you guys evolved from apes, I don't really care. Sounds like human beings were probably just an accident in this case due to 2 chromosomes fusing. Before people used to ask how to apes lose 2 chromosomes and become something advanced as us, now they're saying that 2 chromosomes had to had fused, OK! And the fact we've lived here so long yet we haven't seen one ape evolve to a human makes me believe in this less and less.

    you clearly don't even know what your talking about so stop trying to even proof it false.....

    aside from this great evidence we have thousands of other pieces of evidence and so called missing links found too.....

    If we evolved from apes, why are we the only ones with our kind of mental capacity? I mean apes have been around as long as other mamals, why haven't they evolved too? Just seem like too much of a fluke that the apes got the lucky shot.

    I believe God did evolution on purpose but it can still make a flame war

    conspriacy videos are just pure nonsense...I base my judgement on evidence not rumors...

    that guy who gave the little info is the head of the genome project with loads of credibility and your going to believe in some conspirousy from someone you don't even know......

    ...you can't be serious. You fail as a human.

    Eh, I don't need more proof. I know that there was no god that created the world,it took billions of years not a week.

    I'll put it simple. At the start, we were all alike but there was a group of apes that ate more and was tougher. That group of apes survived long enough to breed,and so forth-Natural Selection. This group of apes tuned it's skills and they started walking on two legs, this was THE most important thing to happen since we now had the control of thumbs for our tasks and we didn't need the hands to walk. Because of this, our brain started to develop as we interacted with objects in a way we never did before, carving them to be hunting tools or the domination of fire. I think if apes walked on two legs in a near future, they'd be something close to our primate ancestors.

    Why? Because he believes that we should be spending time researching things that are going to actually screw us over like oil shortage and global warming instead of whether we evolved from primates or not? **** off, Darc. I think his opinion is a whole lot more sensible than yours.

    OP, do you really think that even if there were undeniable proof that we evolved from primates, everyone would stop believing in their religion? No, probably not, so what is the point of trying to sway people's beliefs and prove them wrong? So you can give them a "Haha I told you so"? Real mature.

    Well i think that most people don't benefit from knowing these things. Explain to me how does this affect a farmer harvesting his crops to make a living? or the homeless people? Does it improve their life quality? I don't think so, so it's ok to research this stuff but whether they prove anything or not, there are other things to pay more attention.

    From his post, it seemed like he gave a shit about ANY past or current issue at all. He just wanted to profit from what we built during thousands of years. Nothing wrong with that but not giving shit about the subject is kind of harsh.

    I just didn't wanted to say lion,tiger etc.

    Still a giraffe is the strongest beast in the animal kingdom since his kick is a instant kill even against lions etc. (except Chuck Norris, his kick is stronger)
