    Of course not. We all came from Skinner, the father of all.

    Well, some scientists say that we have more common genes with pigs than monkeys... But even now some people resembles their potencial monkey ancestors. Haven't you seen any film with Chuck Norris lately...?
    If there is something smarter or faster than me in the world, I'll dispose of it.

    If you are refering to it being a widly accepted view, you would be suprissed that most opposition come from scientists.

    Many scientists succumb to the temptation to be dogmatic, . . . over and over again the question of the origin of the species has been presented as if it were finally settled. Nothing could be further from the truth. . . . But the tendency to be dogmatic persists, and it does no service to the cause of science.

    Just as we are slowly learning that primitive men are not necessarily savages, so we must learn to realize that the early men of the Ice Age were neither brute beasts nor semi-apes nor cretins. Hence the ineffable stupidity of all attempts to reconstruct Neanderthal or even Peking man

    Many evolutionists assume that ancient living things were simple but then were supposedly driven by natural selection to become more and more complex through the ages. Recent studies have failed to find such a drive toward greater complexity. Dr. Dan McShea, a paleobiologist, examined the fossilized backbones of various mammals; another study focused on mollusk fossils. Neither study found any evidence of an evolutionary drive toward greater complexity. Nor did they find that greater complexity brought any survival advantage. According to The New York Times, experts say that these findings �will come as a surprise to many biologists used to thinking in terms of such trends.� Notes the Times: �According to Dr. McShea, the perception of drives toward complexity may be more a reflection of scientists� desires to see some sort of progress in evolution rather than a reflection of any biological reality.�

    I do not belive in Evolution.

    I definitely do think evolution is a plausible explanation of where and who we are today. Except for the warring and plundering bit ofcourse (or maybe that too.. :O). In short, yes, we did come from Monkeys..

    It's got nothing to do with being savage or not.

    I'd say that we humans, as well as monkeys and every little creature/thing, come from a source in common. Life and all "materia" in general are mostly made of the same components. We all are the same (in my opinon).

    So, i don't know for sure if we and modern monkeys share a common evolutionary "father", but I do think we share the same source.

    Now wich is that source?

    Some may call it God, some may call it Life, some may call it just "Materia".

    Maybe we'll just find out for sure when (if) we return to that source.

    Evolution-
    1. A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form. See Synonyms at development.
    2.
    1. The process of developing.
    2. Gradual development.
    3. Biology.
    1. Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, and resulting in the development of new species.
    2. The historical development of a related group of organisms; phylogeny.
    4. A movement that is part of a set of ordered movements.

    Eh? So you believe that at a certain stage of evolution, that you feel better not to disclose, humans and chimps and apes came from the same species or specie line?

    Of course it matters what stage of evolution, but evolution is evolution, of course, here comes the whole debate about science vs. religion, which I think you embrace, Xena, but that apart, do you have any other reasons why you don't believe in Evolution?

    Personally, I couldn't care less how some mangey vagabond got here 80billion years ago. I also do NOT care about the fact that I probably descended from him or some other equally mangey vagabond. I only care about what has happened within the last 2000 years and what will happen in the next 50. Which means, any talk of the creation is lost on me. Frankly, I think the discussion in general is a waste of time, but some people genuinely want to know about it, so more power to them.

    How kind, brit
    How does what happened in the last 2000 years affect you then?

    I don't accept evolution, I still understand the thoery, I like to study on things as I travel, its so educational.
