Evolution is a theory, a system of ideas. You can believe it if you wish, but you can't get pissed off just because someone else doesn't buy into that same system of ideas.
You obviously can't read. Evolution is fact based on the scientific definition of fact. Prove that wrong.
No, evolution is a theory based on findings that haven't been proven without a shadow of a doubt.

Do you think you came from a monkey? Do you think your monkey ancestor was special and able to evolve into a human while the other moneys were too dumb and stayed behind to stay monkeys? Maybe somewhere down the line a human donked a monkey and a child was able to be born, but they didn't evolve into monkeys.
I point out that most certainly "Bestiality" did occur. Its just that some folks are rather "Ashamed" of what they did, and refuse to show their faces, in the light of day. Did I just say that? (Monkey Humpers. LOL LOL)
Not just any monkey as Neanderthal was more human than any other primate. The story of Zana, if true, and I have no reason to consider the story to be a fabrication, displays the process of natural creation, not evolution. But again, the first 3 billion years of this planets history is wide open to natural Evolution.
So, could it be true that Zana was actually a Neanderthal who wondered away from her tribe of highly illusive, intelligent leftovers? A awful lot of sightings of "Bigfoot" globally. Nothing is settled!
You have to give the Bigfoot credit in that they are intelligent enough, to stay away from us . lol lol lol
Agreed. It's not like there was an abundance of choices back then
and nobody knew bestiality was bad or immoral so when desperate times called for desperate measures, I'm sure many humans partook in the action.
Bigfoot is interesting because scientists love to discount its existence yet you can find sightings of Bigfoot that go back a long long time.
Same theory can be applied there. Interbreeding between a female human and male monkey would lead to the mother taking care of the child and the child breeding later with another human, whereas if a male human interbred with a female monkey, that female monkey would take care of the child which would breed with monkeys. Who's to say the genes didn't keep it walking upright and keep its human traits?
Evolution is just one of many theories.
It's always funny to see the die hard science folks accept one theory but aggressively reject any other theory. Maybe it's the monkey genes coming out

Hey I appreciate all the little jabs, they kept me intrigued to read more and more until I got to the end of your response.
I hope you feel better now.
I get the theory... Darwin said a Sinonyx (hyena) became a Humpback Whale over 60 million years.
I have no doubts that the human body can evolve in specific categories like lighter skin, darker skin, different eyes, etc.
So you seem to be agreeing with me, that we didn't come from apes. Thanks for that.
Everything I've read or heard has claimed that monkeys evolved into humans.
I don't need a library card, I have Google and I'm going to Google "Theory of Evolution" to see what pops up.
This is the crap we've been fed for ages. Tell me where this says we only share a common ancestor and weren't evolved from apes.

Whatever man, PM me if you have something personal to say. I'll tell you everything you need to know, as based on facts. I'm reposting facts. More factual than evolution.
In an oft-quoted literature study conducted in 2006, Lynn concluded that black Africans have an average IQ of less than 70 (compared to an average western IQ of 100). Lynn suggested that these low IQs are indicative of a low intelligence level, claiming this offered an explanation for the low level of economic development in sub-Saharan countries.
Lynn's study is well known among psychologists, and has been referenced by academics such as Nobel laureate James Watson, and the authors of the controversial book The Bell Curve -- Intelligence and Class Structure in America (Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray: Freepress, 1994).
African IQ scores prove flawed
Wicherts and his colleagues examined over 100 published studies, concluding that there is no evidence to back up Lynn's claims. Amongst other flaws, Lynn used selective data by systematically ignoring Africans with high IQ scores. The researchers also claim that African IQ test scores cannot be interpreted in terms of lower intelligence levels, as these scores have different psychometric characteristics than western IQ test scores. Until now, the incomparability of Western and African IQ scores had never been systematically proven.
The scientists point out that the average African IQ is currently comparable to the average level in the Netherlands around 1950.

That's what we've always been shown and what comes up first when I search "Theory of Evolution." It tells me that evolution suggests we came from monkeys. And millions of people out there will argue that we DID come from monkeys.

Your opinion? I prefer Self-realization. I know who, and what I am. I am, a Evolving soul, spirit. And that comes from within, not from some web page! I'm a spirit stuck in a meat bag that was genetically created for such a purpose. But you might not have any idea about that kind of Evolution.
Evolution is not relevant to self actualization.
Thank you for your honesty. I myself do not have that cruel gift, and I believe you are correct calling it as such. Though, I am driven to expose corruption, and through my personal choice have learned how to control, that drive, and remain grounded. It does take practice but can be done.
We are fearful creatures cruelly gifted with acute sensitivity to those fears and a relentless drive to resolve our existential futility.
I must admit, Evolution does sound like something that could happen, except the nature, true nature of DNA. Its main purpose is to replicate, with some very minor variations. A horseshoe crab, is still a horseshoe crab. A platypus is still a platypus, a coelacanth is still a coelacanth, and just recently discovered, a sulfur bacteria, is still just a sulfur bacteria. We can now bring back the woolly mammoth via genetic engineering. No evolution necessary. We, are now, the "Creators". "Your" ancestors go back, millions of years! They left their foot prints, everywhere. Check out the moon "Miranda"! My ancestors, only go back 200,000 years or so. Well, 1/2 of them
Anyway if it was going to be discredited, I think it would have happened by now.

Back when? I’m curious what leads you to believe that morality is a new concept that magically appeared one day and that prior to this influx of magic morality members of our genus were getting their freak on wth any mammal they could hold down long enough to do the deed. So what time frame are you referencing with your extraordinarily vague statement of “back then”?
Sure, you’re from the South where that kind of thing isn’t that out of the ordinary after a few too many beers. It is however important to note, that being able to overlook the weekend antics of your own circle of friends is not the equivalent of demonstrating tangible evidence to support your position which doesn’t even constitute a testable hypothesis let alone be anywhere near a Scientific Theory.
If the above scenario were to take place, it would provide evidence that falsified evolutionary biology. In other
Words, if a Homo Sapiens sapiens were to engage in coitus with a monkey, became pregnant and the offspring not only survived bu was viable (meaning it wasn’t sterile) then you would have single handed, falsified the MES. Unfortunately for you and your refusal to try to understand what is actually postulated in the MES, your personal fantasies aren’t viable in a biological or genetic capacity.
So which theory do you believe most accurately depicts and explains how biological life changes over time? What is the evidence supporting this theory that you find so compelling?
And most importantly, what are these other alleged theories regarding the degree of genetic diversity on earth?

How exactly does the picture being referenced suggest that we can from monkeys? There aren’t any monkeys in the picture. Seems like a hell of a stretch of the imagination to see a picture with zero monkeys that forms the basis of the belief that evolutionary theory included hominids evolving from old world monkeys. Or is this your way of admitting that you don’t know the difference between a monkey and an ape?

Really?
First: There are NO Monkies in that piece of art.
Second: Have you ever seen a Phylogenetic tree In particular one for Primate evolution?
You are parroting (like RaggedyMan) Creationist falsehoods.
