dat you evolved from ape abeg if you form from ape what did ape form from,dat d universe was created as a result of big bang, 4 a reaction 2 happen there must be an action what initiated d action ,smh,whites deceiving since 1900 |
Re: What Is That Superstition That You Believed by davien(m): 8:19am On Apr 10, 2015 |
frazak:smh...ignorance at its peek. Humans didn't evolve from apes(because apes are derived as branches of an ape-like common ancestor that humans share), so all in all humans are apes....or more precisely homonoidea. Tip ; Apes(hominoidea) are a branch of old world tail-less anthropoid catarrhine primates...

Re: What Is That Superstition That You Believed by johnydon22(m): 9:09am On Apr 10, 2015 |
frazak: Do you even know the meaning of Superstition? |
Re: What Is That Superstition That You Believed by davien(m): 9:26am On Apr 10, 2015 |
frazak:That's a good question, and it's answered by taking a look at the progression of life 3.5 million years ago.. Life at that time was the known time when life started passing on hereditary characteristics with distinct variations...So as far as we know change over time a.k.a evolution began then... |
Re: What Is That Superstition That You Believed by frazak: 9:29am On Apr 10, 2015 |
johnydon22: okay there is superstition but you don't have to condemn a belief anything you didn't see is 50-50,scientists themselves are confused, y did they always study ghost and label a place haunted ghost are forms of spiritual belief,d world is majorly divided into 3 beliefs Christianity,Islam,athesism.it is left to d people to choose their own belief,and let it guide them. |

davien: wat u are saying is 50-50 like a domino effect,something must have initiated d reaction |
Re: What Is That Superstition That You Believed by davien(m): 9:35am On Apr 10, 2015 |
frazak:It's not a 50-50, it's mutations that occur within the gene pool of populations.. Without mutations everything would be unicellular or a colonial mass of clones...Life's replication process is imperfect so each generation brings variation. |

davien: it is said that atom is the basic unit of life,everything has basic,wat is d basis of human being? |
Re: What Is That Superstition That You Believed by davien(m): 9:44am On Apr 10, 2015 |
frazak:cells you mean(are the basic unit of life) and human beings are products of two cells(sperm cell and egg cell) that become an embryo that grows into a human being.. |
Re: What Is That Superstition That You Believed by Hiswordxray(m): 9:53am On Apr 10, 2015 |
davien:How come those dumb monkeys survive and the intelligent apes became extinct? |

frazak: Ok that does it... You way too **sighs** Just dont know... Are you purposely playing dumb or are you really like this for real ![]() I cant believe someone actually wrote the above post 2 Likes |

davien: scientifically u are great,but all what we are studying about evolution might have been a misunderstanding from d start on investigation on human evolution |
Re: What Is That Superstition That You Believed by frazak: 10:05am On Apr 10, 2015 |
johnydon22: I understand you are an athesism fanatics,athesism has done wonders 4 sme pple so did Christianity I am a witness of such |

johnydon22: even d scientists are confused,why would they be using bc (before christ) and ad(after the death of jesus christ) if they don't believe? |
Re: What Is That Superstition That You Believed by Nobody: 3:23pm On Apr 10, 2015 |
frazak: I'll advise you to read up topics(in this case the Gregorian calender) before making arguments against them. 2 Likes |
Re: What Is That Superstition That You Believed by davien(m): 3:53pm On Apr 10, 2015 |
frazak:It's highly unlikely....do you know why? Because evolution is a product of different lines of evidence from different fields all cross-confirming themselves... Biology Geology Bio-chemistry Psychology Phylogenetics Embryological development etc |
Re: What Is That Superstition That You Believed by davien(m): 3:58pm On Apr 10, 2015 |
frazak:It wasn't scientists that started the trend, it was ancient merchants that used a standard era they were familiar with....other people today still have their own calendars(like the Jews)that are measured differently... And using your type of logic does it mean that celebrating Xmas(a celebratory day that predates christianity) means one believes in santa claus and other pagan myths?... ![]() |
Re: What Is That Superstition That You Believed by PastorAIO: 4:04pm On Apr 10, 2015 |
Frazak was told when he was a child by his parents that he evolved from an ape. What an unfortunate upbringing!! |

I was told that if a bird were to poo on my head I would make a lot of money in life. I'm still waiting for the money. |
Re: What Is That Superstition That You Believed by johnydon22(m): 4:20pm On Apr 10, 2015 |
frazak: Nobody is confused... what you are seeing now is a roman calendar Julian/Gregorian calendar. the church is responsible for the deviation BC and AD. And since the church influenced the world greatly the calendar was widely enforced and people adopted it.. Important events are used to mark dates back then and to the church the Jesus tale is a very much important saga.. E.g in the old testament you will see something like In the 45th year that jehu was king of isreal, ahaziah became king of judah.. You know that stuff right? thats the same way the church marked their.. they use Anno Domini which is the latin word for (the year of our lord). So the modern world employed this calendar or would you have had it we change it?...lol.. ![]() Jews dont use that calendar till date. their calendar says something like the year 5778 or something The mayan calendar is different and so on. even native igbos traditionally we dont use that calendar... So you see? No one is confused ... I bid you to always read more about these stuffs so to bring up constructive assertions ok.. ![]() 1 Like |
