So humans evolved from monkeys because their dna is more than 50% same? Humans and trees have more than 50% same dna. I guess we evolved from trees

We share about 98%* of the same DNA that chimpanzees have.

I don't think you understood what I meant. Anyways, evolution is a theory. Some people believe it's true and others don't. It's an opinion, and you can't say evolution is a fact without proving it.

Edited by ZUON: 5/2/2015 3:02:21 PMEvolution is [i]not[/i] an opinion. It is a scientific theory. There are huge amounts of evidence behind it to support its claim. Artificial selection - there are tons of different types of dogs bred to specialize in different jobs. Natural selection - a process that occurs over a great deal of years and years. If a mutation of the formation of a beak occurs that significantly increases how easy it is to get food in that environment - that bird will have offspring that share that beak, then those offspring will have offspring sharing that same beak, and sometime down that line a new species will have arose. Embryonic development - shows the great similarities in deoxyribonucleic acid between completely different animals. http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/R/Romanes.jpg Can you determine which is which in the first stage? Similar bone structures - https://anthropologynet.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/forelimb-comparison-of-human-cat-whale-bat.jpg and I posted a comparison of a human vs chimpanzee with their skeletal systems. Here there are no differences between the forelimbs, only different proportions. I respect your disbelief in evolution, but don't dismiss it ignorantly without providing an argument to why a disbelief is logical.

Sorry mate, I meant that each person has their own opinion on whether or not evolution is real. And I believe that God created us differently, so I guess that is my "logic."

It has been directly observed, directly. The dna proves that all life came from on ancestor billions of years ago.
-
Yea. Adam and Eve
-
Nope, so your saying whales lizards and eagles came from Adam and Eve 5000 years ago
-
Not even close. Have you even read a bible before?
-
I have, the geneological time line puts creation about 6000 years ago
-
And not billions of years ago
-
That's what you believe.
-
So your going to tell me that all bears are completely different?
-
No, I never said that.
-
Question: are you a theist?
-
No, I am not.
-
You don't have to agree, but at least it's info.
-
That doesn't prove shit. We have 85% same dna as zebra fish. We didn't evolve from a fish.
-
No, but I bet if we went back far enough there would be a common ancestor.
-
I don't.
-
Fair enough
-
You're an idiot. DNA tells cells what organism to build. Look at embryonic development in the first stages between a cat, a human, a frog, and a lizard. Tell me which is which. I provided a chimpanzee and human skeletal comparison. Bone structure is [i]slightly[/i] different, so I don't see why it's so hard to wrap your head around the concept.
-
Why aren't chimpanzees evolving today???
-
I was writing a well-written paragraph, but after thinking about the stupidity of your question -- Google it or go back to high school and retake biology.

Haha I think he has his cause and effect a bit backwards.
