LOL. I believe we evolved from an ape like species but are not directly linked to the species we have today. I remember not too long ago watching a series about evolution and apparently there were 2 species of 'apes'. Both had the ability to evolve into human like form but one of these species became extinct in favour of the other more monkey like creatures which are where we are from originally. So they say.

'...out of africa 60,000 years ago . DNA proves it....'

our DNA doesnt prove we come from apes and monkeyz at all... YES it does however show that we do share some of our DNA with other primates . All types of animals are related to each other some more closely, some more distantly.

James, recent studies have shown that the difference between human and chimp DNA is not a mere 1 or 2 percent but at least 15 percent.

Chimpanzees have 24 pairs of chromosomes and humans have 23 pairs, so there is a definite discontinuity. Human genes are also arranged differently compared to chimps. Neither human nor chimp DNA has been fully sequenced. Human DNA will probably be sequenced within the next two years, but chimp DNA has a much lower priority, and so will be completed much later. Until they are both fully sequenced, a proper comparison cannot be made.

And BTW James DNA similarity does not PROVE evolution. There are reasons why chimp and human DNA are similar, and they would be even if evolution were not true. Why? Because DNA contains the information that controls the DEVELOPMENT of an organism. Therefore, if two organisms look similar, the DNA should also be similar, by definition. Many of the similarities between humans and chimps exist simply because the skeletons are similar.

Somethin' else to keep in mind is that all life on earth contains similar DNA to an extent. If this were not so, life would not be possible. For how could one organism digest another if they were fundamentally different biochemically? Every organism must take in nutrients from other organisms, and if the amino acids, sugars, etc. were different, digestion would be impossible.

and BTW evolution is a man-made theory, Darwin came up with it... and it doesnt neccesarily mean itz TRUE...

ALL the animals on this earth, including humans, share the same basic type of DNA - WHY?? coz we are created from the dust of THIS earth... and God used 'earth materials' to make all his LIVING creations 😛

'..Intelligent Design is a man made theory. So is evolution. ...'


exactly itz a Man-made theory just like yearz ago people though the earth was 'FLAT'and everyone believed it...but it was proven wrong... some scientist wud one day prove the evolution theory wrong....who knows...

i do agree with u Sb that evolution doesnt go completely against GOD but that dependz also on how u see it...

i see thingz completely differently and the way i see them doesnt contradict wid my religious beliefz but half the world might not agree with me coz everyone sees the Evolution theory differently... i like to mingle them both.... but since James was lookin at it from a scientific point of veiw i didnt want to talk from a religious point of veiw...

THE ISN"T FLAT AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

National Geo has a interesting show about the Genetic Adam which shows how we are all decendents from on male 60,000 in afirica. check it out they are on the net just go to national geograph.

My people believe a tiger will not enter a burning house to kill a person. My people believe this because they are stuped ignorant people. they believe that the only thing that separates them from the apes and monkeys are there ignoratio elenchi. I believe this to.

I mean no disrespect by saying this...but..."organized" religion is also man-made. So are all the rules about who will experience the glory of god and who will not, birth control vs. no birth control, no heaven without baptism, etc... and the bible was written by man...

All our thoughts, all our beliefs are "man made"....we make them. we choose which feels right to us.

i Totally agree with u on that coz YES men wrote the 'Bible'( though itz my personal belief that God inspired men to write it but thatz just MY belief)......

but here ( in this thread i mean..) we are not talkin' about religion and God but we were talking about Evolution and the scientific explanation of the origin of man....and all i was sayin' is that we cant of a certainty say that Darwin's theory is a FACT coz itz just a theory and doesnt prove much.....

but if u really think about it from christainity's point of view... it cant be Adam coz Adam - the first man on this earth - lived 4000 B.C 🙂

According to Christianity this earth is only 6000 years old... however, some theologians believe that God didn't create this earth out of nothing.. he organized it and took materials from other planets ( GOd himself said 'Earths without numbers have i created'..) and so maybe the DNA that was found of this man who lived 60,000 years ago was from another earth like ours 😛 —?? u never know....

i do believe in Science but also in God and when i intermingle them ..thingz make more sense to me 😛

i've got some weird beliefz.. i know..i know 😛

James i never said the earth is only 6000 years old.....i said that ACCORDING TO Christianity 'ADAM' lived 6000 years ago...

Ofcourse the earth is older then that... it always existed... God didnt create earth out of nothing... it was always there........ the scriptures say the earth always existed.. itz billion and trillions of years old.....there is no end to matter.......

and no one is feeding me with garbage....just coz u have these weird beliefz then mine doesnt make ur theories all FACTZ..... i know i have weird beliefz too but atleast i dont criticize u for them... believe wat u want to believe.. i dont give a darn about them... but yes coz i respect otherz beliefz i expect them to recpect mine too....
