if you dont know a lot about something you shouldnt be writing it off without so much as a thought.

haha, youre a creationist and creationists are stupid.

pkcRAISTLIN you are clearly the stupid one. I JUST posted this.

Anyway, I have considered the evolution theory, and I personally think it has too many errors to be accurate. But this doesn't mean I don't believe in evolution... just not the theory that we come from apes.

The original question is a question of categorization. You are looking for a defined animal that came before apes, but since we have only categorized animals as we see em now, we dont have a label for them.



and if this is suppose to be a murky point in evolutionary theory, there is the same murky point in any other theory. For example, what came before god?

Until we find another snake that can talk, I'll stick with my belief that Adam and Eve never even existed.

blah blah. you said you believed in something else actually.

which, by default, normally makes one a creationist. unless theres another side to this equation im unfamiliar with.

youve already stated that you dont know anything about it. so how your total lack of understanding can somehow manifest itself sufficiently to find errors in the theory is beyond me. give it up. you dont know what youre talking about.

You are quite the dolt. Take your head out of your ass for a moment and realize that there are more than two ideas in the world as to how things started. Moron.

I did not say I did not know ANYTHING about it, I said that I am not familiar with the specifics in regards to the theory. There may be more to the evolution theory I am unfamiliar with, in which case, there is a possibility that it may actually make sense. From what I understand however, I do not think it adds up quite right.

And once again, I will state, I am not a creationist.

ok, please enlighten me. one school argues that all life on earth was created by a deity. the other school says they evolved from early organisms.

could you please elaborate on the other ideas that take the origin of species along a different path?

i would be astounded if this were not the case

A ring species that lives in a ring region. The Green Bird she's a funny cat!

I know this might sound arrogant at first, and I apologise if it does, but because creationism has no clear basis - and it's quite strange to see an educated person refute all the evidences and follow something that is completely fictional to anyone coming from another culture.

Probably the link with the apes might be strange to you because you either took it too literally, or maybe because you're not very much into Biology. Either way, refuting a theory when you don't know much about it does sound like those conspiracy theorists that see "flaws" where there aren't - and it all happens due to lack of knowledge.

"In their paper, they describe how they played recorded warbler songs to same-species birds that sang in a different way. It was clear to the team that the listening birds did not recognise the "music" and would therefore be unlikely to breed with the warblers that produced it."

Seems like an awfully big leap of faith to base the idea that one specie is becoming two based on that experiment. If they really wanted to test it they would use the sperm of one bird and inseminate it into the bird from the other side. Perhaps thousands of years into the future they will be able to look back at this experiment and say, "that is when we found evidence that one species became two," however I doubt that will happen.

If you did the same experiment with people with different languages you would come to the same result but no one would argue that Russian, American, and Chinese people are becoming different species.
