If we evolved from apes, why do we stil have apes?

What is the atheists view on language? Where dose it come from?

Is absence of proof a proof of absence? If some religions can't prove God's existence, is it a proof that god doesnt exist

is your belief in science based on faith or science?

Are u a scientist? Do you make scienfic researches? Do you wait for scientists to say THIS BONE IS 20,OO0 YEARS OLD BY HOMOERECTUS and u believe that witout seeing the bone?

tobechi20: If we evolved from apes, why do we stil have apes?

Humans are apes.

tobechi20:

It was invented by humans.

Absence of evidence where evidence is expected can be considered as evidence of absence.

tobechi20:

It is based on the fact that science works.

One doesn't have to be an eyewitness to a crime in order to discover the perpetrator.

Simple answer; Speciation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciation

Humans evolved from a common ancestor with monkeys. Our common ancestor split into different species.
Humans will give birth to more evolved humans and monkeys to more evolved monkeys

tobechi20:

From man and his interaction with other men.

tobechi20:

It is not proof of absence. However, it is a basis for disbelief. No court will pronounce a guilty verdict without evidence.

tobechi20:
is your belief in science based on faith or science?

No belief, just acceptance of facts and reasoning. Not all atheists are into science.

Yes, I read journals.

If a scientists makes a claim he puts the proof up for critique. If a scientist claims a bone is 20,000 years old, he must show the method of dating used and the calculations.



Summary,

If I am sick, I go to a doctor and not a pastor or bible
If I want to learn about the earth, I go a geologist and not a pastor
If I want to learn about the univers, I go to a cosmologist and not a pastor

Thanks guys with ur straightforward answers.



Tobechi, abeg, show face na!!

first,its a misconception to assume that been an atheist is the same as been an evolutionist.not all scientists accept the theory of evolution but this doesnt give authenticity to the creation myth.you need to understand how the theory came about and the limitation it faces.

e:

language involves from interaction of man with man and seperation of man from man.some languages arose out of the inability of one or more persons to speak the prevalent language accurately.their apprently disjointed attempt at speaking that language then becomes another language.other languages came about as a result of emigration.surely you dont expect me to accept the hocuspocus in the bible about some goons wanting to buiild a tower to heaven and blah blah blah

e:

the inability of religion to prove the existence of god in itself isnt a proof that god doesnt exist.however,religion(especially christianity,islam and judaism)claim to be the chosen path of "god".they created an idea of god and insist everyone must accept it as infallible despite the immense inaccuracies and utter misrepresentation of facts.the burden of proof then lies on them but instead of proving their god,they insist we must accept their fallacies by faith.

e: is your belief in science based on faith or science?

there is nothing like "belief in science".science is basically a means to an end and not an end in itself.science has to prove whatever it claims with facts whhich is why the theory of evolution remains just a theory after almost 150years.it doesnt matter how good the idea sounds or who the proponents are,a claim has to proven beyond all reasonable doubt before it accepted as been a scientific truth

1) what is the first animal on earth to evolve into other animals

2)is homosapiens d last species of evolution?. What are we evolving into next?

3) so atheism is dynamic. It changes. Because one thing might makes sence now and later it wont make sence

tobechi20: 1) what is d first animal on earth dat revolvd into other animals

2)is homosapiens d last specie of evolution?.what are we evolving next to.?

3) so atheism is dynamic. It changes. because one thing might makes sence naw and later it wont make sence

dont be lazy.if your interest in in evolution,research the damn thing

Thanks bro!

Evolution is both a fact and a theory. Paleontologists have demonstrated it time and again (look at Hans Thewissen and whale evolution, for example) through the fossil record, and of course the advent of genetics and the discovery of DNA confirmed it. There are also, of course, those like Lenski who have seen natural selection in the laboratory.

It is also a theory - an explanation for a set of empirical observations - because it explains the data through things like natural selection and genetic drift.
