Ok...I know I recused myself from this but I'm getting the feeling that a lot of you guys denying evolution don't really get the principles of it. Evolution is not a rapid thing. It takes dozens upon dozens (and maybe more) of minute changes over thousands and thousands of years. What most define as mutations could be the next step in evolution if that mutation is one that gives that being an upper hand. If you don't believe that men evolved from monkeys...you're ignoring the obvious possibilities. You think it's a coincidence that we have similar bone structures, facial features, and instinctual traits? Is it possible that it IS just a coincidence? Sure...but we're the only animals on this planet that share these traits. Find me another animal with an opposable thumb. These changes come over thousands of years and anything's possible. Look at humans. Our life span has damn near doubled in the last 150 years. This is largely due to medical advances but it's also in part related to the fact that, as animals, we instinctually try to reproduce with the best possible candidate to pass on the best possible genetic structure. Then your offspring will do the same. But what if somehow there was someone was born with an abnormally strong heart and immune system? That could theoretically give them an upper hand due to longer life and more chances at reproduction. Then their traits would be passed on more than an inferior candidate and thus evolution takes another step (in theory). Evolution isn't as simple as monkey = man. It's a minute process over hundreds of thousands of years. If you simply reject the possibility out and out then you're ignoring a perfectly feasable option. Again...I can't say this enough...it may not be right, but at least open your mind long enough to at least consider the possibility. That's all I ask. If you completely shut out one option then you've given into ignorance and ignorance is NOT bliss. I feel like a broken record, but you folks must at least admit that you might not be right. And, again, I'll never claim to have all the answers but I'll at least take everything into consideration before forming an opinion.

And Lucky...unless you can prove absolutely to me that every single event in the bible actually took place please please please keep your mouth shut. The bible is full of theories and you can't possibly prove them all. Not to say they aren't correct, but until you present me with the evidence please refrain from talking.
