Well most people only hear the Die-Hard Creationist because they keep pushing their agenda that something cannot be done this way or that way, because they saw it was in the Bible. However, you rarely see the Open-Minded Creationist who allows different beliefs to soak in and the ability to understand those beliefs. Like my mom, she's a creationist, but my dad isn't and neither tried to push their religion on me (Agnostic/Atheist and Christianity). They always kept my head on right and wouldn't let me fall into a set mind set, which is really paying off now I accept and love athesim and I accept and love christianity. But like I said, the Die-Hard Creationist who don't really care about anything, but their agenda are truely lost and they often will flood out the Open Minded Creationist who doesn't push an agenda and often promotes unity. While I am not a Creationist like my mom, I think its important to understand that Christianity and Science are very much related... Don't believe me?

Science states that we came from one cell and Christianity states that we came from on God. Whether we like it or not we are connected and the sooner we figure that out the better off we will all be

So don't be closed minded Have an open mind, because when its closed the ego grows and when the ego grows the rise of pride goes and when pride grows the false sense of "I am right and you are wrong" doubles and when that doubles you become lost in, and with, yourself.

There are issues with the theory of evolution which even darwin acknowledged. And as someone already mentioned, the dna thing which tells us we are made of the same goop as everything else on the planet fits with both creationism and evolution.

As for the topic/question of the OP, I have actually not heard many if any creationists get insulted by the monkey thing. We all came from the soup or we are all gods creation... no dif


Unless you believe in alien intervention or perhaps ID, which is another story

This is the reason they are insulted and find it impossible for us to be related to apes/chimps/monkeys whatever.

That would mean that we are not relatives to Adam and Eve.

I swear, thats why.

The reason I know this is my mother submitted our DNA to National Geographic so they could track where we REALLY came from. It was a big project, and since she passed, nobody has found the results.

Anyways, I was telling and aunt and uncle about the project, and they looked at me like I was pissing in their corn flakes. They subtly mentioned Adam and Eve, and I realized we were talking apples and oranges.

Off subject but it reminds of the 500000 year old nuclear reactor that scientists said was naturally made. Hmm. Maybe nature is smarter than we think.

Not to go too far off topic, but what the heck? Got a link for info on that? big time curious now lol

Back to topic! //cracks whip//

I have a question for you Evolutionists.

How did life start without a Devine creator?
The horse and the hippo are supposed to have common ancestors. Selectivly breed all the horses you want and show me the resulting hippo, or a moose from a cow, or a parrot from a chicken etc...

I wouldn't consider myself and evolutionist, but can appreciate the science and observation of evolution.

Evolution has more to do with adaptation to the environment over long periods of time. It doesn't happen overnight. Those who adapt and change survive. Those who don't are no longer here.

I am also completely comfortable, and many of my strict evolution friends, in giving our creator credit for the ability to evolve, flourish, and thrive.

Give credit to God for evolution.

However, this is where the Adam and Eve things gets tricky isn't it? You have to REALLY believe that Eve was built from Adam's rib, and they shagged enough, and their kids shagged enough, with eachother mind you, and those relatives were lucky to get on a big boat and survive a flood to get here.

The god given ability to evolve and adapt sounds a bit less far fetched.

I've actually got a few questions to ask you, but this is a start. It's always puzzled me how humans could be insulted to be told they are related to apes, that we had a common ancestor and so are in the same family. Why would you be insulted that it be suggested the human species be related to some of the smartest, gentlest, family minded and let's face it, sometimes brutal and explicit creatures on Earth?
Is it because they are hairy or something?

Please excuse me if I garbled or made this unclear, I am doing this on my phme

Humans are a species of ape - fact!
