i posted my own theory in another thread, and i'll kindly repost it for you.

One day it happend to be in this area of the solar system, when it suffered the misfortune of breaking the handle to the loo. So it stuck it's ass outside of the space ship and sharted many many times. Some of this shart-matter, by means of the gravitational pull, stuck to some specks of rock. This rock then stuck together to other rocks and so forth, until it was covered and protected by other rocks. Eventually this was sucked by the gravitaional pull of the earth and some of the this shart-matter somehow made it through the the atmosphere. |

I'm sure plenty of you have heard about scientists constantly searching for something called the "missing link".
Well that's the ancestor that we can't seem to locate that will finally show the clear cut division of apes and humans. |

I personally believe the evolution theory is total B.S. However, I will openly admit that I don't know a whole lot about the specifics in regards to this theory. |
If you have any logical argument for that I'd like to hear it |

As stated, apes took their own path from a primary primate.
An important note: just because something is called a theory. does not mean it is fair game to dispute. The Pythagorean theorem is a theory in mathematics, but I see no creationists arguing its validity.
The "missing link" argument is an invalid one. This was brought up by people that tried to tie the jump from apes to humans. There is no such jump and no scientist has ever said there was. Apes did not become humans, or else there would not be any apes around today. They came from a common ancestor, and there have been numerous skeletons discovered that show the progression of the primate brain and its adopting of the upright position. Lucy, anyone?
Finally, I would like to add a personal note. People who believe the creationists' story have an unwillingness to let go of something when it becomes obvious that their belief was false. My mother has no legitimate response when I present scientific information to her. She asked me, "Well, if all that you say is true, then are you telling me that there is no God?" If someone came up to you and told you all that you believed so passionately was all false, wouldn't you also be upset and in denial? |

| Jeez, the original question is straight out of highschool biology class. You can google more complete evolution charts. |

Forget Lucy! The Beatles poisoned her.
My favourite link of course is Ardipithecus RAM id US
Come to think of it I think they found the oldest example of human art near BerekHAT RAM. |

so where did this "common ancestor" come from? what did it evolve from |

I'm referring to the 'common ancestor' as said 'missing link'. |

From a tiny little unicellular microbe. Well, billions of years ago at least. |

I think you could believe in God even if man wasn't created as it says in the bible. (Note, I'm not religious at all.) There are religious scientists who thinks the proof that God exist is how everything in universe can be so perfectly explained by math for instance. They think there has to be a reason why everything is so "perfect" and just not chaos.
And yeah, I fully believe in the evolution theory. They have even proved Darwin right, by studying some animal (I think it was a bird) on an island somewhere (sorry I don't remember names) that he studied and they had evolved since Darwin first studied them.
Uh yeah I'm rambling. Gonna watch CSI soon. |
