i am muslim and my dad has told me that god allows people to uncover this information when they need it like back with the stoneage did they need televisions? and theknowledge of gravitiy etc...i highly doubt it but what science says it's true i guess it all comes down to belief i guess..
Compare it. Umm .. a guy sitting on a cloud with a beard decides to create humans in a click of his (it's) fingers. Err, sorry but I think the theory of evolution is a much more likely to have happened rather than a so called superior being.
Oh also the meteor didn't just hit earth and bam there were humans. The first human like beings first emerged millions of years after the dinosaurs were extinct. Also to put it in dumbass terms if the earth was around for a day (24 hours) humans were only around for 10 minutes. Hope that clears things up. This is science talking not myself.
Well our teacher is basically going from the beginning of human like inhabitation. Just as our text book proposes. It has nothing to do with religion.
you talk about thinking in straight lines but the greatest scientific leaps were made when scientists refused to follow what actually made sense, like einstiens theory of relativity, it defies all logic and shatters all time based theories (including the simple distance=speed*time) yet it is now one of the most famous theories and yet to be disproven, all laws and theories are only true within certain parameters once you remove those parameters they are false same goes for Darwins theory of evolution, while it does work for many animals and plants in humans it fails, there is a missing link between apes and humans and this is the major flaw in darwins theory. i dont have anything against aesthists, you can believe what you want, however hiding behind science is pretty weak as science itself is flawed, to a relegious person (not a fanaticist theres a diffrence) an aesthist is someone who doesnt want to believe some greater bieng decided that we live in a world with murder rape and war. as for anyone telling you how to live your life theres always someone doing that, what about the laws of the place you live in? arent you supposed to abide by the law or else your punished? this is similar to the laws in relegions. theft, assault adn murder are looked down upon in civilised societies and punished, just as in relegions god frown upon evildoers and punishes thm in an afterlife. the laws are there not to restrict your life but to ensure a better lifestyle for everyone. as for relgion bieng the cause of wars it isnt the only cause, wars have been fought over race, land, money, pride an even women. the worlds largest wars were fought for greed. and often a relegious war is actually someone using relegion as a cover to start their own personal vendetta that was just my 2 cents
Say wut?....where just having a discussion here...this isnt anything like flaming or such... But what is the major flaw between apes and human u are talking about? i dont understand that little point. Because Darwin's theory sounds completely understandable to me. Seeing creatures need certain things to get better at the things they do....Example i got from a teacher: If a giraffe didnt had the long neck he couldnt eat from the high trees, but in ancient times the giraffe had a short neck, seeing the bushes were at the ground at the 'moment'. In my opinion people are the living truth of the theory, we even make it go faster. If we need to fly, we build an airplane. if we need to go trough water we build a boat. if didnt make those, we would'nt be able to do the things we do, maybe in thousands of years seeing we might evolve into creatures with wings. And we all know atheists talk bad about with beliefs, and religious people talk bad about atheists. but they both have there flaws. which im not gonna explain all now, since that is a lot

Darwins theory is not something that misses a link and only works for ''some'' creatures. What do you mean there is a missing link between apes and humans? How is there? Ape's are so similar to humans and they obviously have the brain capacity to evolve themselves, seeing as you can teach them to do all sort of things. As I said it seems much more likely that the big bang happened and all pieces of rock collided together and created earth, which over billions of years started to grow tiny little cells and plants, then insects and so on. Than a superior being who said Let there be light and poof the sun was created. Think about it, there are millions and billions of stars out there and galaxies, there has to be other life. Hiding behind science? Lol, I'm not one of the religious people who go out and suicide bomb. I'm not a religious one who treats women like sh*te because they are not as good as men. I'm not a religious one who kills other people in the name of religion even though this is ''forbidden''. I wan't a new phone, so I thought I'll ask God for one, but then I realised God doesn't work that way, so I went out and stole one and asked him to forgive me. Is there any point? Lol

If we already made something we can use to fly theres no point in us evolving into a flying specie. And I really dont see that happening because, well just because. What Im really intrested is in prehystorycal civilizations. Code: This discovery raised the intriguing possibility that a technologically more advanced civilization existed two billion years ago and it had advanced knowledge of nuclear fission. But if this assumption were correct, one would ask why such an advanced civilization did not perpetuate its own existence. Instead, it disappeared for unknown reasons, leaving only ancient relics. How should we view such a discovery? A large unaccounted-for time gap exists between two billion years ago and our present historical human civilization. What could have happened during that time? article: http://www.pureinsight.org/pi/articles/2003/4/28/1582.html More on prehystoric civilisations, I mean A LOT more here http://www.crystalinks.com/ancient.html The guy who posted about the dropa stones, read this http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread161381/pg1

Lol [/b][/quote] if you do your research Darwins theories are only theory, there have been remains uncovered for several ape-man creatures, which helps us to draw a pathway of evolution, howeve their is a gap in that timeline somewhere that is called the missing link, , many such gaps exist, this is the major flaw in darwins theory so while i believe that the theory of evolution is true in most cases i choose to believe that my ancestor was not an amoeba its true that there are many misguided people who commit suicide bombings in the name of relegion, however these are a fanatical minority who dont truly understand their relegion, but what about the people who have done good things in the name of relegion? the media only follows the scent of blood and often ignores people who have done massive good in the name of relegion, more often than not relegion leads to a stable family home, a good guidline for raising children and motivation to do good, if 0.02% misenterpret relegion thats not a bad percentage is it? besides many terrorist attack are non-relegious based, its only the largest that was. and as for relegious people who treat woman like sh*t what about the non-relegious people who treat woman like sh*t? scum who mistreat woman have no excuse, someone who hides behind relegion is just a hypocrite whos trying to justify his actions. oh and asking god for a pen doesnt work, what relegion should do is motivate you to work honestly and in return you get your pen, if you steal the pen then your not a relegious person to start with are you? also relegion doesnt say that there is no life on other planets, in most cases it simply doesnt mention it so that has nothing to do with it.
Pre-replies: I want to make something clear before my reply: - A theorie has been proven, an pholosiphy doenst. This meaning that the is proof for darwins theory. Reply: I collect fossiles in my spare time, and i am very interested in the evolution mankind made. This made me believe i know enough about this to make a decent and trustwirthy reply on this matter. Evolution of the humans As for many animals (yes we are) we developed into different 'type' of human beings, same like there are different kind of dogs and other animals. Not all types of human were very succesfull and most died. Ill explain this with the image down here. Development of humans: You can see we didnt all made it! The first human like creatures lived in Afrika at first. From there they moved over to the other continents. At the point we (Homo sapiens) we on the earth there was also another 'type' (Neanderthaler). There is physical proof that those two lived together. The neanderthaler didnt make it because if its lack of brains...As you see in the image more humanlikes didnt make it! Bratzer PS, sorry for spelling.
im not sure but i think if you notice on the far side of the pic if the length of the line is equivalent to the time there is the huge time gap that leads up to homo-erectus hence the missing link
