Evolution? If we came from apes, why do we still have apes?


I googled: "If we came from apes, why do we still have apes?"

the answer, as I knew:

"Humans didn't evolve from the apes we see today; instead, humans and modern apes share a common ancestor from millions of years ago. Think of it like a branching family tree, not a ladder, where that ancient ancestor diverged into separate evolutionary paths, leading to humans on one branch and modern apes on another. This is why both humans and other apes exist today—we are evolutionary cousins with distinct lineage and adaptations."

Natural selection, mostly. Exceptions like yourself still survive, so it is no perfect.

Evolution? If we came from apes, why do we still have apes? Fish did not learn to fly, etc.

Yes, I believe a superior God created us. It is not exact like in the Bible. He created using influence, that to people who think they are smart but generally are not think was random rocks flying thru the air, etc. But you cannot convince me that the wonder of life from man's intelligence to animal instinct is all some kind of random just happened.

How does natural selection occur without evolution?

Come on man, you are not some redneck, you have an education and are very literate. You know perfectly well that this is not how evolution works. This weird game where you play dumb with definitions and basic theories is absurd.

Yes weather, space, and conditions intersecting to cause life is certainly more absurd than thinking some bronze age poets determined how the world formed without even knowing the world was round...

Interesting conversation.

I agree with the violence coming predominantly from the left.


And generally, socialists seem to only have "faith" in things they want to benefit themselves, not others.

Like the faith a woman can be a man, global warming, etc. [long list of faith] despite all contrary scientific evidence.


I'd rather have faith in God.

I wish to remind all readers and participants that AZDuffman has no formal education in the natural, physical or applied sciences. He has no credentials whatsoever to question or intelligently comment on physics, cosmology, chemistry or biology, especially evolutionary biology. His statements about such are guided by faith and religion, which by definition are unproven and are unprovable, and not objective attempts to learn objective truths in a valid, reliable and self-correcting manner.
Proceed accordingly.

You do not know my education, but in any case that does not matter. This is an internet forum, not an academic conference. If you want to go back and forth quoting studies I suggest you find a more formal setting.

You are the one asking stupid and ignorant questions, amigo, not me. You are a science Luddite, incapable of anything more than Lysenkoism in the modern age. Everyobne is best served by just avoiding you and your insipidness, while calling out your bullshit.

I’m the one thinking for myself. You are merely capable of saying what someone else says.

You just defined the whole concept of religion. In religion you can't critically think, or debate the established principles. There is a reason for all of history the Church has been prosecuting any research that even slightly contradicts the bible.

I wish to see far, so I stand on the shoulders of giants. You, however, are content to be a mental midget.
