Probably more useful than your random comment. Don't trouble your little head over such matters any way. God created everything just as He saw fit.

This is a very common mistake among the uneducated peoples in biology. We did not come from monkeys. Millions of years ago monkeys and human bipeds had a common ancestor. This ancestor has since become extinct. The facts are that this common ancestor had two mutations of offspring that survived. The monkeys and or apes went in one direction and humans went in another. Evolution is a very long process one in which our lifetimes are but a blink of an eye in comparison to how long it takes for mutations to become better adapted and then become the norm of the species.

OK, so we have a progressive creation which is ongoing and I suppose you subscribe to "day/age" theories, or some sort of "gap" hypothesis. Therefore you have a problem.

How is evolution by natural selection prevented by God from producing outcomes NOT in accordance with God's design and desire? Take the spotted hyæna for example. Females are particularly involved in the "selection" process in this species but once-upon-a-time, the evolutionist announces, there were no spotteds or stripeds or browns, there were just common ancestors. And as they selected their mates one might prefer the look (or smell or gait or anything else) of a slightly spotteder or stripeder or browner proto-hyæna and they would become progressively more spotted or striped or brown over millions of years. That's called Natural Selection. It could lead anywhere, so what mechanism does God employ to prevent naturally occurring selection from producing undesired outcomes?
There must be one, for your theory to hold water..
What is it?

How do you reconcile progressive creationism with Genesis 1? What makes you think Genesis 1 isn't meant to be taken literally? God created everything to reproduce after its kind (Gen 1:11-12, 21, 24-25). How does this allow for evolution?

If you had to reinterpret the Bible to make it fit with science, your faith has already been shaken.

You should always know the answer for why you believe what you believe.

I'm using this as an example of how one interprets the Bible. You may call it spirit, others may call it fanaticism. As for the KJV Bible, since it's translation it has been misquoted and mistranslated so much it no longer resembles the original Latin text it was taken from. The important fact is there is God, Jesus, he loves us regardless of sin, heaven is there for those who seek it, and my Bible gets plenty of reading. The difference is, I try to understand it, some just read it as a quaint story.
God's word is not open to interpretation.

2 Pet 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

It is to be read and obeyed. You don't need to "try to understand it." If the Bible says the earth was created in six days, then it was created in six days. What can't you understand about that?

The KJV was translated from Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek texts.


Mt 21:42, 44 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes . . . ? And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

acpl4life seems to have disappeared so I'll take over for a few minutes and suggest acpl4life = day/age revisionist. In that case, we are still in day 6 [ignoring that we'd also still need to be in days 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5] with God "directing evolution" all around us.
DAY 6
• the beast of the earth
• cattle
• thing that creepeth upon the earth
• man in our image, after our likeness
source
That would also mean that we have yet to reach Day 7 which, in itself, is a direct contradiction of:
II Chronicles 15:15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about. KJV
If God has not yet created rest, because we are still in Day 6, that would be impossible.
Genesis 2:1-3 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made KJV

First of all, our closest ansestors are chimpanzees who are apes and not monkeys. They also do not have tails. Monkeys almost always have visible tails.

But the reason we don't have them is because tails are very inefficient when running. Apes without tails have an advantage over monkeys with tails when it comes down to running. Chimpanzees, humans and other monkeys all don't have tails because we spend more time on the ground.

As a matter of fact, we still have a coccyx or tail bone which could show that we once had one, but it got shorter over time because of the benefit when walking.

Fun fact, some humans are actually born with tails.

Tails are very inefficient when running. Apes who spend time on the ground have a benefit chasing other animals when they don't have tails. How exactly that works I wouldn't know. If you are truly open to a possible explenation, you should ask experts.

Please find me an academic reference which states that apes are our ancestors. You don't have a clue what you're talking about, do you?

Um, sorry to disappoint you but, all among the fastest animals have tails (it could be argued that one of them is just a head with a long tail attached to it).

Quote:

Nope.

Quote:

Nope.

I'll assume that you meant "apes" not "monkeys" in the sentence above, but it's still false - apes spend most of their lives up on trees, and they seem to be doing fine without tails:







Quote:

Fun experiment for ya: get a monkey and cut open its tail and butt (you might have to kill it first). Then do the same to a human being, and compare their bones.

Alternatively, take the biologists word on it (I dunno if you can really trust these people, but it will save you some time... in jail).

Here is a drawing of a baboon skeleton:



Here is a human skeleton:


Can you spot the difference? Hint: baboons and people do not have the same number of bones, for example: baboons have tails and people don't.

Quote:

Fun fact: you're wrong. Where do you get your education, from the National Enquirer?

From Wikipedia (I know, not the most reliable, but I don't think you could read anything academic on the subject):
Quote:
The coccyx, or tailbone, is the remnant of a lost tail. All mammals have a tail at one point in their development; in humans, it is present for a period of 4 weeks, during stages 14 to 22 of human embryogenesis.[14] This tail is most prominent in human embryos 31–35 days old.[15] The tailbone, located at the end of the spine, has lost its original function in assisting balance and mobility, though it still serves some secondary functions, such as being an attachment point for muscles, which explains why it has not degraded further.
In rare cases congenital defect results in a short tail-like structure being present at birth. Twenty-three cases of human babies born with such a structure have been reported in the medical literature since 1884.[16][17]
I dunno if you understand the difference between a "tail" and a "short tail-like structure," so here is the clarification:

Quote:
Infrequently, a child is born with a "soft tail", which contains no vertebrae, but only blood vessels, muscles, and nerves, although there have been several documented cases of tails containing cartilage or up to five vertebrae.[4]

Ah, thank you for your explanation. I'm finally starting to see the logic behind evolution. I don't believe it, but I see why you might. If it runs on the ground chasing other stuff, like the hunting spider my wife asked me to kill this morning, that spider evolved from an an ape, because it doesn't have a tail and hunts by running and jumping on insects, while my dog that sleeps all day does have a tail, so it fits all the check marks for having evolved from a monkey.

There is only one little thing I don't get yet, how come there are apes AND monkeys, animals with tails and those without? Doesn't evolution say everything comes from one animal? Where your ancestors perhaps one of those people with half a tail?

I prefer logic and consistency: I'll believe God's answer! His answer is complete and not logically contradictory, it says God created all animals as He wanted them created, each and every one of them after their own kind.
Genesis 1:25
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creeps on the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.


Leviticus 26:15-16
And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

It is physiclly imposible for someone to rape themselves rape is sex without consent and with masturbation (if you still decide to do i even though the Bible tells you not to) you have your own full consent.

..in which case, according to your bizarre logic, why were all the monkeys not eaten? Lions, in your dystopia, have had millions of years to finish them off. And yet, there are the monkeys!

It's a little more complicated than that. If a person is tricked into thinking that an act is something other than a sex act, then legally, consent is ineffective. The principle is called "fraud in the factum."

The reason we don't have tails i because we evolved past the need for tail because as are arm and legs grew longer we started to stop using our tails so much so after a while we just stopped having them. Legit enough for you?

Frankly, to me it sounds equally as stupid as Darwinism, but FYI: what you are saying has nothing to do with Darwin and everything to do with Lamarck. Google it.

So no, it's not legit, and even if I subscribed to Darwinism, I wouldn't deem it to be legit either.

Note particularly how the Darwinist is unable to agree what we're supposed to have evolved from. Monkey. Ape. Amphibian. Worm.

You actually have a tail. Feel around the lower tip of the backside of your pelvis. That bone you feel is the tail. Even when the baby is in its mothers womb it has a mildly developed tail, which is lost as it developed further. Over the course of evolution, humans grew less and less dependent on this appendage, and as its usefullness declined the tail grew smaller and smaller over thousands of years of micro evolution. If you really want all the fossils dating the intervals of our species evolution, I'll gladly pull them up for you.

Also dont ask a question and then tell someone that your rhetoric is 100% proof that you are right.

Don't say that there is no adequate answer to this question, because their is.

These things make you sound even more ignorant.
Thank you finally someone has some sense and also i have more to add to your statements. http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/How_com...ill_monkeys%3F

You should also be aware that I have reported the pornographic link you posted. Smut is not appreciated around here.
