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...

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...

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.

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..

I'll advise you to read up topics(in this case the Gregorian calender) before making arguments against them.

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

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?... undecided

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..sad

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.. smiley
