do you believe that we came from apes or simply what religion tell u as origin?

I believe in keeping an open mind. Science gives some explanations that I find reasonable and logical. Religion asks me to use blind faith to believe how it happened. Did we came from apes? I don't know but I have a question: why can't both theories work together? I mean, let's say god created the universe and created the first living organisms and then allowed them to evolve until man came ?

Well, I look at it this way: according to religion, the first people were Adam & Eve, right? And according to religion, Adam & Eve had 2 sons. So, where did the rest of us come from? I believe we descended from the apes. Some people haven't descended too far, either, lmao! (joke!)

Hello Joshboz, I do not see that the two are irreconcilable, nor mutually exclusive. Every few years, archeologists find new clues to man's development that serve to present more questions, than answers. The Darwinist's may sound fully confident when they argue against the theories of "Intelligent Design". Yet, they still cannot explain away the impetus for that single moment, when celestial ferocity initiated the eventual formation of ... us. I suspect that there's room for both theories. I have long held that The Creator Energy designed the human mind with curiosity, so as to inspire Mankind to seek out the mysteries of the Universe. As I see it, Science -- which very respectably wanders around in the darkness, seeking illumination, is none other than a system of tools and inspiration gifted by The Creator Energy to seek Our Source. Either way, I wouldn't advise losing sleep over this one. It's all a process. Or should I say, part of The Plan?

Hey jb, Do some further investigation on your science it proves we did not come from apes-don't listen to me or any other "man" check it out for yourself. +'s |:)

I believe God created men and everything on earth. I believe on what the bible says. I just cannot bring my self to ever think that we came from the apes.:)

I deeply believe in the story of Creation. Since I was young, I've heard it told over and over again. I've thought it through and I guess I won't change my opinion on it. I think no one would admit that they resemble and ape, would you?

I genuinely believe that apes are our ancestors, there can be no two opinion about it. looking at apes and humans not only reinforces this belief of mine, but also shows that even after centuries of evolution we are still to overcome many of our simian features and practices. All religion glorifies God whom none of us has seen yet and indicate Man as His favourite child destined to rule this world. This is just a ploy, another excuse for mankind to carry on his atrocities against each other and other species of plants and animals.

Actually, I'm confused with this kind of belief. Before, I believe that humans came from Adam and Eve. Because that was what I've read from the bible and I even watched it many times in a movie. But when I was in elementary during our science class, our teacher told us that humans came from apes. That was according to the archeological studies. So I got confused which belief or theory should I follow or believe.

I don't believe we came from apes. I believe what the bible says, also that there has been cases where stories in the bible have been proven. I also heard somewhere that it states that we can be traced all the way back to Eve. Honestly we will never know until we die. Until then, I like to believe we didnt come from an animal.

I have to believe that man evolved from the apes. I have done reading and studying and researching and creationism is a nice simple way to say where man came from,but face it, life is not that simple.

Well most religions do actually say that their god or diety created humans. Christianity: And god created man, and took his rib and created woman. Im no religious person at all, Im atheist and I support fact, aka Im a scientific believer. The darwinian theory is so far the only one ive seen produce facts of finding and dont ask you to believe and bow down to something untangible. There are again abreviations in most religions. Some christians calls themselves scientific christians, and support the scientific finds. The thesis behind this is the translations in the bible not being correct. According to them the translation that god created everything in 7 days, should instead be, god created everything in 7 long moments/times or some such. Many other religions have their god either birth or a limb of themselves create humankind and others yet talk of their gods just beeing the "overseer" of things as they came around... but usually with humans as a main component and one of the first. Sadly most religions for me sound like they were created before man knew what was really going on, and thus in my eyes only have invalid and super old information to substain their claims. Its nice that ppl have something to believe in, I just dont :D

I am not an advocate of the Darwinian theory of evolution. The entire life on earth is still a mystery to be solved. The variety of species and innumerable patterns of behaviour holds little veracity in the Darwin Theory. Maybe I'm wrong in my conviction...yet I uphold it.

Well since I'm a lover of science and have actually studied anthropology, I naturally believe in the scientific explanation of how man evolved...there is actually a gap of some 3 million years between the Ramapithecus branch of primates and australopithecus which marks the first true branch of hominids of which we evolved from--I do find the science view the fascinating one...With few exceptions I don't think people take stock in the religious viewpoint of how man evolved

there are some theory of people origine, in a different culture and different country.the most known is this science and relegion, well its realy facinating every theory. honestly i came to the undrestanding that we should not put together the science and the religion when its regards to this. its realy hard to tell.since im having trouble also believing things in life. i think i should live things as it is. and i dont want to go deep in.and i just want to live life in a profer way.and wish to get the answer.whenever.
