We are a life form of the earth.All the rules that apply to other earth life forms apply to us as well.Look at my previous post, it answers some of your questions.Evolutionists don't necessarily believe we are descended DIRECTLY from apes, we just have a common ancestor, and are of the same family.Apes branched one way, we another.Simple as that.If you look at cell division, you see clues as to how we came to be...from one, the cell replicates itself, over and over,and diversifies according to environment.Though we don't necessarily think of them as such, bacteria, yeasts, viruses, are all life forms, albeit simple ones,and they exist within us, forming some of the building blocks of what make us what we are.Noone knows for sure from where the first organism originated..we haven't found it yet.But we do know for certain that chemical reactions occur with certain elements in the right conditions....one theory is that in the warm shallow seas of prehistoric earth,comets bombarded us, the massive heat from impact causing explosive chemical reactions,creating amino acids, essentially"seeding" the earth.Because the conditions were right,single celled bacteria began to grow...then, as conditions changed over time,they divided and changed in order to survive.Naturally, not all of them survived, that's why we see fossils in one layer that don't cross over...dead ends on the tree of life...but others branched, grew, diversified, and became what we now recognize as life forms of earth.It's so simple, to me.Everything shows us that change, evolution, is essential to maintaining life.And it's a never ending cycle...we have only begun to scratch the surface of Time,and how it works...we see things in a linear manner, but I propose it's a big loop..and we can see evidence to back this up..one star dies, and from its remnants, other stars are born, accreting dust and gas, forming planets,and if conditions are right, life.Not always as we know or understand it.But it didn't happen in 6000 years.And if an intelligent life form created us, why would it make so many mistakes?If god is supposed to be omnipotent, perfect, and all powerful?Don't you understand how ludicrous that sounds?God is perfect, but he makes mistakes?That's an oxymoron.
And I don't care if I am related to apes...I have no problem with that...humans are not anything special.We are all a part of this earth as well,subject to its scientific laws and limitations.
Wait a minute, Stoney ...
Faith is belief in the unknown. When I speak of Evolutionists, I'm speaking of those who believe that Man has ascended from lower life forms. There is no evidence of that ... there are only guesses based upon looking at fossil evidence that has NOTHING to do with the development of Man. In other words, the belief in Man's evolution from lower life forms must be taken on faith.
Can anyone answer these questions:
1. If Man ascended from apes ... why are there still apes?
2. From where did the very first organism originate?
