i don't want to send hours learn it... but i want to know the so called facts...
i know to know why ppl belive in evolution...
evolution was started by a man who Married his cousin and had over 5 kids...
creation was started by a God that gave his son to die for men and lived a Perfect life
study on how close we are to Monkey ... prove that 1 type of Monkey had 98% in common wit humans
"we are 98% monkey and 2% human" lol

And just who did Cain or Able marry? And who did their kids marry? And how many sons did Issac have compared with Darwin...too many? Not enough? And no type of monkey (to date) has shown 98% homology with humans...but an ape (chimpanzee)shares at least that much...so yeah, we ARE 98% ape. Live with it.
To know the facts, you would need to spend hours learning it. I could give you the executive summary, but you wouldn't get it.
<<< evolution was started by a man who Married his cousin and had over 5 kids... >>>
I don't know if this is true or not, but frankly it doesn't matter. The truth of a matter does not depend on the sexual activity of the one who first suggested it.
<<< creation was started by a God that gave his son to die for men and lived a Perfect life >>>
Evidence, please?
<<< study on how close we are to Monkey ... prove that 1 type of Monkey had 98% in common wit humans >>>
Not monkeys, chimpanzees. And yes, 98% of our DNA is common to both.
<<< "we are 98% monkey and 2% human" lol >>>
Nope, 100% human, there's just not that much difference between human and chimp (see our commander-in-chief for evidence).
the high percentage of DNA that is common in 2 different things has little to do with if something evovled from the other.
IN my Biology class, the book claims that humans and monkey share 95% of the same DNA, bananas and humans share 90% of DNA.
Also, on "who wants to be a millionaire, one of the questions was "What percentage of our DNA is Junk DNA (DNA that makes no difference), and the right answer was 95%.
However, last I checked, I was 100% human, this guy however I have my doubts.
You know, the sad thing is that if someone claimed to be devinely inspired to write the theory of Evolution, these guys would be more likely to belive... Believe he's been talking to a demon, but still.
Weird. Bluefish001 seems to be claiming that first God created the world, sent Jesus, etc. But later, Darwin came along and caused evolution to start happening. Perhaps He (Darwin) even reached back through time to unmake the literal truth of Genesis?
Sounds like a pretty potent fellow. Maybe we should be worshipping Him instead? Could be your answer, bluefish - people believe in evolution because its founder was more powerful than your god?
Outlandish speculation is fun! Of course, most people accept the theory of evolution because it is supported by the evidence.
Darwin may well have married his cousin (I can't be bothered to confirm/deny this), but Adam and Eve's kids had kids with each other (please show me where in Genesis it says that they didn't). That's just sick, dude - I'd much rather be descended from a chimpanzee.
Mr. Turquoise
No, The Great Chuck Norris, your textbook doesn't say that we share 95% the same DNA with monkeys. It does say that we share a common ancestor with the other apes. Apes are not monkeys. BTW, its around 65% DNA we share with bananas. That shows that if you go back far enough we share a common anestor with other forms of life as well. It actually proves evolution.
Honestly, I just said what I heard in my biology class.
My biology Teacher can very well be wrong.
Also, I said monkies, but I meant animals closer to Chimps, Oragutangs (sp??), and Gibeons.
Honestly, IDK much about evolution.
To The Great Chuck Norris: "Also, on "who wants to be a millionaire, one of the questions was "What percentage of our DNA is Junk DNA (DNA that makes no difference), and the right answer was 95%." I have since sold my Gen Bio text back, so I can't reference it right now, but the current belief is that *no* DNA is junk, per se; it just doesn't necessarity code for any polypetides at a given time. I beleive that the current theory is that a fair amount of DNA is duplicating other information on the strand, to protect against environmental damage causing severe harm to the organism. Some of the chromosome is thought to deal with pre-programmed cell death, to keep cells from multiplying ad infinatum (a la cancer cells). If I am understanding everything correctly (bio majors: please correct me if I'm wrong!) there isn't any wasted DNA, because if it was truly useless, evolution would have already pruned it off.

Compare their DNA, maybe? It's been done hundreds of times on as many species. Probably more.
And monkeys are 98% human. So?
"i don't want to send hours learn it... but i want to know the so called facts."
That is your problem. I takes hours and hours to get a sufficient scientific background to understand Biological Evolution. You can't be bothered. You remind me of somebody who wanted to learn French, but was unwilling to study. It can't be done. If you don't spend the time, you cannot gain the understanding.
Let's address this line by line:
1. ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER DO YOU SPEAK IT?
2. See above
3. Nope. He just uncovered how it worked, and was only the first, not the only.
4. If lived a perfect life meant being a poor hermit and getting executed, then yeah.
5.No type of monkey has 98%, but apes do.
6. No, chimps and humans have evolved a 2% difference since splitting from the common ancestor.
Something else Darwin was right about.
If he published his theory he reckoned his name would be mud and Christians would accuse him of the worst.
150 years later, proven right again.
You guys haven't got a leader whos career spans 20 years without being littered with proven lies while Darwins just winning 150 years later.
You need to amp up on your grammar and spelling, dearie. I'm a Swede, who's had quite a lot of red wine, and a bit of Bowmore Whiskey, and I still manage to excel over your ability for grammar and spelling...
The Theory of Evolution was started by a human being who we have solid evidence that he existed.
Cretinism was supposedly started by a God who didn't care enough about his son to keep him from being sacrificed.
We share some 50 percent of our DNA with the cucumber.
We share about 97 percent of our DNA with bonobos...
Great Apes, not monkeys, you Capuchin...
We are 97 common ancestor and 3 percent uniquely human.
Without "spending hours on it", here's the rundown.
I am a transitional form, between my parents and my children. There's a bit of family similarity, but we are all distinct one from another. In the same way, my parents are transitional forms between me and my grandparents. Let's say that my sister, who is already a little bit taller than I am, has children and grandchildren. Now if her children just want to marry "people like mom and dad", they might all choose a tall partner, and my children want people like mom and dad so marry shorter people, you can see that my grandchildren look shorter, and my sister's grandchildren look taller.
Keep this up for a few million years, and let me know how it comes out.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
