evolution or creationism?

Some dude decided to create us... so that we can defy him. Yeah, that's what happened.

I still don't get why he'd create us with signs of us being a reptile, like the alligators second eye-lid (or is it crocodiles?) and our webbed feet and hands to swim with. Back in the 1800's, everyone was born with a tail, but thanks to evolution, we're tail-less.

It's also kind of weird, from a Creationist viewpoint, that God also decided to create some animals almost, but not quite, in his own image, like the chimpanzee which shares 98.5% of its DNA with humans.

we may be the closest to a monkeys dna and everything, but that just dosent sound logicial to me

that's a very interesting word, logicial.

If man evolved from monkeys Why are there still monkeys? Shouldn't they have evolved with us into humans?

we share a common ancestor. evolution has taken humans and the different species of monkeys down different evolutionary paths.

its not just animals and plants that evolve. ideas, societies, even your personality can evolve. its the natural growing process of all things. :cool:

(of course, stuff like alligators, sharks and fundamentalists can resist change for a long time)

Uh, oh, let's bring that girl back in here who will boil it all down to the first "single-celled" organism to inhabit the Earth.

Way to go, man. You win the award for successfully managing to talk about something you obviously know nothing about. :)

Yes we didnt evolve from monkeys, but there is a common misconception that if a species evolves from another older species, the latter will not exist anymore. This is untrue. Dogs were artificially bred from wolves, yet wolves still exist. More recent breeds of dogs are bred from older breeds, but those older breeds still exist. An interesting finding- because dogs have been bred for so long, some types of dogs are now are unable to mate with other breeds, because they are reproductivly incompatible now. Are they becoming different species??? Who knows!
