Re: If we came from monkeys, why don't we have tails?

I was thinking about this today. According to the Darwinists, we came from monkeys. Monkeys have tails. So if why came from monkeys, why don't we have tails? WHERE IS MY TAIL, EVILUTIONISTS?!? I don't have one! 100% PROOF that EVILUTION IS A LIE!!!

I'd be glad to explain. Over long periods of time, during the evolution of man from our common ancestor (most probably a primate,) there was no longer any need for a tail. I presume primates had used it either for balance or for gripping onto trees, as they are normally portrayed to do.

If you understand the concept of evolution, mutations. Well, the same mutations which have provided primates with tails could have reversed the effect. Why, do you ask? Because, as I've mentioned above, we had no need for extra balance (due to the fact we began to balance as bipeds without its use) nor did we need to climb up trees. With this said, a tail became absolutely useless for our species over time.

So, how did we actually lose the tail? Natural Selection: the tail became a useless appendage, so those who had the opportunity to receive the genetic mutation which shrunk it, had less weight to carry, and therefore had a higher chance of survivability. Eventually, those who did not have this mutation died off, unable to fend for themselves against the ever-changing world (also affected by evolution at approximately the same rate as us.) This process repeated itself until the tail existed no longer.

Hope this helps answer your question.

No I think not, what you are proposing is a fantasy at best. My uncle is NOT a MONKEY

I will give you a start. Pick up a Bible, KJV 1611 is the real one. Start in Genesis. Come back when you hit the back cover.
Genesis 1

The Beginning

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

This explains nothing! How many times have you said to someone, "Lend me a hand here."? If you had a tail, that would not be necessary and labor costs could be reduced.

It stands to reason that employing someone with a prehensile tail would mean 50% increase in productivity for no more wages! Therefore, according to your theory, the fully employed should have been the fitter and thus bigger and better tails would have arisen.

The only downside is trousers - difficult to manufacture with holes just there.

No, face it, God made us as we are and monkeys as they are. He made us so we had to say, "Lend me a hand here." and we'd say it to a woman, who was made to help man!

Ge:2:18: And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

You are implying that we lost our tails when we were able to reason and produce logic. This is false. We probably lost our tails when we were in the stages of beginning to learn to walk; way before the Australopithecus ever appeared, which was 3.2 million years ago.

Why did I get a warning notification for arguing in an argument? Lol, this is ridiculous. You try to argue your point of view, and you get warned. Why the censorship?

No one censored you. A warning is a gentle reminder to behave. An infraction occurs when you refuse to listen to a warning. Then you get banned. We would never censor your words. That would be un-American.

I am as calm as a human being can possibly be. A human asks a question about evolution and I answer it as nicely as I can possibly put it.

Then you send me a warning to stop being an atheist scum.

How do you possibly expect Atheists to respect you if you only reject everything we say and insult us? Just so you know, I WAS a Christian. I know what it's like. And personally, I hated it. Now I'm trying to be nice and answer questions, and this is what I get?

Where are the morals your savior gave you?

Son, do you even know where you are? I did not send you a warning.

I could care less if a trash talking, good for nothing God hating atheist respects me. I do hope that is not a surprise as it would be unGodly to give you a start.

I do not know why you hate God now. I suspect it was because you were a choir boy and the papist priest 'did things' in the annex.

You are a baby Jesus hater, what do you know of morals? You spit in God's eye.

Calm down and stop being so hateful.

Who sent you the warning? I'll sort them out right away! They should have banned you!

Our morals derive from the Holy Bible. We are showing you True Christian(tm) love by doing what we can to bring you into Christ's loving embrace. Why can't you cooperate?

Please understand that this is NOT a debate forum. Please read THIS thread before making an even bigger fool of yourself.

Also, while the internets might seem to be "free" to you, this particular corner of the internets is a privately owned Christian forum. The rights you have on this forum are listed HERE. Please contact a Pastor immediately if you feel that any of your rights have been violated.

Finally, your unsaved opinions or tantrums are not even slightly of interest to us. We follow the Holy Word of God TO THE LETTER, and make no apologies for that. One of the most important commandments in the Bible tells us to avoid unsaved scum such as yourself. You wandered in here uninvited, and unwelcome.

I will pray that the Holy Spirit enter you and chase the demons out of your rectum and let Jesus fill you with His Grace. If you use your God-given free will to reject Christ and His temporary death on the cross for my sins, then you are sending yourself to hellfire.

FYI, I have read the post. I can answer questions as I please. I see no debate here, I see a question.

Banning me for my personal beliefs? Is that, discrimination I hear?

Probably not worse than the racism in that other topic. I'm still sick to my stomach after reading that.

We do not discriminate. In fact, we are blessed by your persecution.

Re: If we came from monkeys, why don't we have tails?

I'm a busy man, little girl. I don't have time to read your drug-induced hallucinations. I only have time to read sound, logical, scientifically-proven and accurate books - the Bible.

Nothing in the bible is scientifically proven. Aside from the fact Jerusalem exists.

If you're not going to read the Bible, don't make a post.

i have read the bible from cover to cover, I’ve been to church (but let me guess because its a church in England its not good enough) and these are my thoughts on the matter.

and james hutchinson i dont hate god i have never said that (you can check all my posts if you like) i am merely trying to put in my two cents but every time i do i get nothing but abuse and people saying i hope jesus clenses the devil from your rectum.

Someone put ““The monkey-worshipers think that ultimately, everything came out of nothing in something called the "Big Bang." If that were true, we'd still see nothing exploding and human beings popping out.”

So I retorted with “God created us out of nothing so surely according to your logic if god made us “pop” out of nothing then why isn’t that still happening? Why isn’t god sat in the sky popping out people?”

This man then put back

Because He finished His creation:

Well the big bang has finished its creation

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

Re: If we came from monkeys, why don't we have tails?

Nothing in the bible is scientifically proven. Aside from the fact Jerusalem exists.

So you think the following did not exist:
Herod and his daughter Salome
The Romans and their coins
Houses
The Sea of Galilee
Fishermen, Shepherds and Carpenters
Widows, the blind, sick and lame
Wine
Pharaohs and bricks
Kings David and Nebuchadnezzar
Babylon
Donkeys, camels and unicorns
The Wilderness
Pharisees, Sadducees and the Sanhedrin
Herod's Temple
The Mount of Olives
... I could go on

these are my thoughts on the matter.

You're a woman aren't you... it explains everything. Leave the thinking to your husband.
