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

its because evolution is a slow process taking thousands of years. we dont have tails because over this process they became useless to us therefore the slowly shrank until they became the coccyx or tail bone at the base of our spines.
and besides not all apes have tails anyway the chimpanzee, the gorilla, the orang-utan are examples of this.

Didn't bother to read the entire thread, did you? This has already been debunked. Because if this was true then dogs that have had their tails bobbed over the last 300 years wouldn't have tails. Especially when you look at the fact that a human generation is 20 years (give or take) and a dog generation is 2 years. So 300 years of "doggy evolution" would be equivalent to 3,000 years of human evolution.

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

Evolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through successive generations. Ultimately, life is descended from a common ancestry through a long series of these speciation events, stretching back in a tree of life that has grown over the 3.5 billion years of life on Earth.
Evolution is the product of two opposing forces: processes that constantly introduce variation in traits, and processes that make particular variants become more common or rare. A trait is a particular characteristic, such as eye color, height, or a behavior, that is expressed when an organism's genes interact with its environment. Genes vary within populations, so organisms show heritable differences in their traits. The main cause of variation is mutation, which changes the sequence of a gene. There can sometimes also be transfer of genes between species.

How else can you explain the differences between Black and White people?

The highlighted portion of your post proves that you are wrong! The earth, universe in fact everything that God created is a little over 6 thousand years old.

You will find your answers in the Bible. Since you are person wants to know the real truth, start with the Tower of Babel.

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

are you serious? never heard of natural selection? various things evolve from a single source such as dogs for example, many different of varieties descending from a wolf.

Evolution is just a pack of lies. Just because monkeys imitate mankind does not mean mankind came from apes.

What a load of rubbish. If that was the case then there should be no monkeys

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

Primordial soup is a metaphor, something you people don't seem to realise exist. But this is hardly the place to discuss language... 'Soup' is used because it illustrates quite well the mixture at that time. It was water that was so saturated with chemicals that it would be inappropriate to call it water any more.
Suffice to say, the Primordial soup and Campbell's soup are slightly different meanings of the same word.... There's no danger of rodents crawling out every time you heat soup.

Typical Darwinist. You ALWAYS keep moving the goalposts whenever anyone NORMAL sees through your nonsense!

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

The link you provided seems to contradict you, saying that Babylon cannot be America.

You misunderstand him; America right now, under Barrack Obama's tribulation presidency is not the America Envisioned by our Savior and our First President Ronald Regan. Right now, thanks to liberal policies, America is a country with a depressed economy, burden by debt, besieged by its enemies, near torn by civil war, were pornography and baby murder run rampart in her streets. That is the whore of Babylon. However once the Salvation Presidency of Mike Huckabee will turn America around to Christ's Shining Vision. GLORY!

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

Not by name but

“Babylon [hath been] a golden cup in the LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad” (Jer. 51:7).

America has been a golden cup, nay a golden shower, to the rest of the world.

Babylon, N.Y.

Probably the most widely accepted explanation of America in Bible prophecy uses Revelation Chapter 18 to show that the United States is really "Babylon the Great, Mother of Harlots."

The reason this symbol is the most widely accepted symbol of the United States is because the shoe seems to fit. Consider the evidence offered in support of this view, because it is compelling. Revelation 18:2 opens with the angelic declaration that "Babylon the Great is fallen."

Verse 3 describes Babylon the great thusly: "all the nations of the earth have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornications with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies." This doesn't seem to be much of a reach, on first glance.

America has sunk to moral depths scarcely imaginable a generation ago. We kill babies in the womb when they are socially inconvenient. The nuclear family is all but extinct. Morals are situational, if they are relevant at all. We choose as entertainment stories about adultery, fornication, violence and virtually every form of evil.

We are the world's leading exporters of filth and pornography, not to mention being the world's largest arms dealer and exporter of destruction and mayhem. Politically, we have just emerged from one of the most shameful and immoral presidential campaign in living memory.

Not America's vision

The description goes on, referencing the fact she "sits as a queen and no widow." One could argue the U.S. sits as a queen (it's probably more politically correct than a king, anyway) and no widow, as America has seen no war on her shores in living memory. Since the Apostle John also refers to the fact that "ships and sailors and as many as trade by sea" will see the city burning, this view makes New York City Babylon the Great.

The original Babylon still stands, in Iraq, but nowhere near the sea. And, just outside New York City is the city of Babylon, N.Y.! So, there you have it! And it all seems to make sense, really. Provided you are looking at prophecy as if it were given from the perspective of Washington. But it isn't.

In Bible prophecy everything orients from Israel. John's vision of the apocalypse is from the perspective of Israel, during the time of Jacob's trouble, not America's. But the most conclusive reason is given in Revelation 17:18.

John says Mystery Babylon is really a woman -- that great harlot who will reign over the cities from earth. But John wrote that the great city was clearly Rome, and that is the city that will reign over the earth in the last days.

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

The bible also rarely references anywhere outside the middle east and north africa. Doesn't mean places like America don't exist.

In fact, I defy you to find one reference to America in the bible.

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

The facts are what they are, I have read the bible some 1500 times and nowhere do I find any mention that man is related to monkeys.

The bible also rarely references anywhere outside the middle east and north africa. Doesn't mean places like America don't exist.

In fact, I defy you to find one reference to America in the bible.

And what does that have to do with the thread topic?

And why aren't you off pestering some gnostic forum instead of ours?

Because they're not half as fun to talk to as you people. I sense you, above all others in this forum, dislike my presence here. Indeed, both my infractions were handed out by you.

No, they claim that our "monkey ancestors" crawled out of the "primordial soup"!

So by following "scientific" claims, I could heat up a can of Campbell's Chunky Chicken Corn Chowder then sit back and wait for a marmoset to evolve out of it!

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

To be fair, the big bang theorists do not claim that humans "Popped" out of a nothingness that exploded.

Science believes that humans popped out of a monkey's vagina, which is even more ridiculous.
