Cell phone systems evolved from wire line phone systems, yet most homes still have wireline phones in them.

And we can still find the old bag phones that came between land line phone and the small camera phones we have today. So what creature came between ape and man?

"So what creature came between ape and man?"

Evolution does not state that humans are descended from apes -- it theorizes that humans and apes may have had a common ancestor. It is, after all, still called the Theory of Evolution. The only people who have ever twisted these evolutionary theories into unrecognizable travesties of the original work are the same people who have twisted the original teachings of Christ into unrecognizable travesties as well.

Schools have taken God out of schools now you want to teach we cam from apes. Its time to read your Bible and see just who created everything.God created everything The first book in the Bible says so.

God had more than 12 years of public education, to let him stay longer would be a waste of taxpayer's money.

Got any other publications from 2000 years ago that haven't changed? Can't compete with the supernatural. What God says, does come to pass. Its been proven over and over and over, yet people think its too old to hold credit. Just remember at the final judgment you'll be on your knees confessing Christ is King for as the Bible says every knee shall bow and every tongue confess...

If you believe the bible hasn't changed in 2000 years then you are even a bigger fool. Are there even scriptures from the man you worship as a god to start with in that book of yours? To blindly follow because you are told to makes you more of a sheep and less of a man so there is evolution in process.

The Science of Origins has two theories - Creationism and Evolution. Both based on exactly the same scientific data. The difference exposes itself in data interpretation. Evo's assume there is no God. Creationists assume there is. Scientific method cannot prove nor disprove the existence of God, nor can it prove Origin because the science of origins is not empirical science but a historical science to which there are no accounts of eyewitness testimony unless one believes that the testimony resides in Genesis 1-11.

I think you're confusing evolution with abiogenesis. Evolution is not about how life was first created.

[Your local minister]

We have proof of evolution,none on creation.

You learn about God in Church, and Bible Study, or Koran Study, or whatever. Not everyone believes in the same God. Science is unbiased, and is based on provable ideals. Religion is not provable, it's foundation is based on faith and faith alone, there is nothing wrong with faith, but it doesnt make it true. I'm sure if the Koran or Buddhism was taught in school you all would have a fit because it doesnt fit your idea of God. This in itself doesnt make any sense either. Be respectful of ideas outside of your own.

READ something, and maybe you'll learn something.

Brilliant :) You made a great point. I have studied Western & eastern religion's in college, and they all have one thing in common, and that is faith. I find studying religion just fascinating. They all have a lot in common and a lot of differences, but people need to realize none are based on concrete evidence. You just have to believe what they tell you, and you can't base the world on what someone thought thousands of years ago. If we did we will all still live in caves and do are own hunting.

What did you do with my son? accept him or reject him,when you die and you weren't a believer and God is not real you have nothing to worry about,but if he is real you have everything to worry about,religion? no reality,dont be concerned with evolution or creation.

[womba]

No debate here.
People believe what they want to regardless of the facts.

the theory of stupid desgin. Im agnostic, and i propose my theory (BTW im also a Pagan)
I have my own ideas as to how this planet, and the universe came to be.

theory 1 we were created by morons. Proof: birth defects, people banning things that would benefit themselves as a society.

theory 2 some of us were created from apes. The rest were created from birds and lizards.

theory 3 there is life on other planets. As a good friend of mine said: how arrogant is it to think that of all the billions of planets out there, Earth is the only one with intelligent life.(believe me, earth's intelligence is lacking, too

i also believe that some animals on this planet are improperly categorized: the fox is very feline like, and im sure if scientists did a damned blood test they would find out how feline-like the fox really is.

[james]

Yes God created the heavens and the earth with other life on other planets but it still does'nt have anything to do with a person getting to heaven.

[Jenny]

I don't understand why people argue about this kind of stuff anyway. Noone knows exactly how we got here and why or what's going to happen when we're not here, so why argue about it? Why can't people just let each other believe what they want?

[james]

The Resurrection validates life after death, its better to know God as your Father than your Judge, Religion? no Truth.
