Are these signs?

life is just a giant mystery that will never be solved. all i know for certain is my physical body will die ,ill worry about the rest after that, if anything even exist's.

dust in the wind brother's dust in the wind.......

Rant done....(although it seems to be a repetitive one as fundies never do the research...)

you're right, we do share a common ancestor with apes, but we actually did evolve from monkeys, because they were one of the first primates. And we evolved from fish, because millions of years ago fish and other sea creatures were the only animals that occupied the earth, before they eventually evolved to be able to live on land. And because the first land animals were reptiles and amphibians, one could say we evolved from them too. Think of it this way, reptiles and mammals share a common ancestor but that ancestor had to have been a sea dwelling creature.

There's something we can all agree on! Now lets all go back to my place and pass around some joints. :)

Sure!!! Just give me $12 to cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Then tolls in New Jersey, then the N.Y. State Thruway, then I'm home free.

I'll cover the toll for U.S. Toll Road 1.

Actually mojavpa the transitionals for hominids are not called monkeys so no, we are not evolved from monkeys.

And, you make a valid point for the fish except for some reason you only go one stage back and don't regress farther to point out the amoeba algae connection ;) . Also it doesnt HAVE to be a sea dwelling creature (the transitional for lizard/mammal) it just happens to be. One mutational difference and it might have been completely different. The lungfish is a classic Evolutionists arguement for that particular point.(so many different kinds of them too ;) ).

Basically, you're saying that we're all related because we come from the same single-celled organism that started life upon Earth.

Right. But not only are humans all related... It comes down to this: every single living cell/organism is related if you go far enough back in time. Trees, bees, bacteria, bears, weed, flowers... and us. I think it's beautiful, don't you?

going back to the original point: today on the news it was said that there isn't really a great spike in number of storms in the last few years, matter of fact it's gone up very little if at any in 30 or more years (according to what this was saying) but the power of the storms is growing increasingly stronger with huge spikes (think about this, before it's a huricane it's a tropical storm, so more and more of these storms are becoming hurricane strength than they used to, so it seems like there's more becasue tropical storms don't get as much attention)

Yes, and that the different kingdoms diverged early on from that single-celled organism, so we definately didnt evolve from, say, plants. Those cells that were able to photosynthesize evolved to become plants and algae, and those that had only mitochondria evolved to become animals.
