Well to me it seems harder to beleive we came from monkeys and there are way to many transitional forms to not have any in fossil record. I mean think about it for billions of living things on this earth do you realize how many more transitional species there has to be. Truth is you can find out how a frog turned into a lizard. Let alone lucky mud into people. And last i checked you cant get something from nothing. Matter is matter it just changes form. Burn a tree down it turns to ash, Boil water it turns to steem. Yes i am a Christian But let me put it to you like this. Jesus was born and did live according to how the Bible says. People ask "prove God is real" I tell them look around. If i were to show you a painting that proves there was a painter, or a building would be proff there was a builder. And you can't show me scientific proff that the dolphins ever won a Super Bowl (that would be historical like the Bible) I have not been convinced science is right. Science always changes, i mean "is Pluto a planet or what". After all i dont know any scientist so most people who believe in science are not any differant in Christians " you read what someone else wrote and you believe it" and then put a darwin sticker on your car. What i know and believe is, there are alot of people throwing around the word Christian and they are out of there minds. I agree i dont force this on people, but i do share my faith, if people say there not interested then i shut up. I'm not perfect and thats not what being Christain is about. It about knowing your not perfect and will never be, But accepting Jesus as the path to eternal life with God. And thats what i believe. You wanna believe you came from monkeys thats your choice. But if your right and im wrong i've done nothing but live a better life with alot less stress, but if im right and your wrong the out come isn't as rewarding.
Sorry so long.
I have respect for your faith in the God you believe in. The point of my comment was not to touch on religion, but to touch on the fact that the creationists' given explanation had no valid backing. They were simply statements without any proof. Again, I'm not speaking about the religion itself and what people believe in, but rather the irrational explanations that they bring up.
You're right. We did not come from monkeys, otherwise, why is it that we would have evolved to what we are today, and they still did not? That alone should tell you we did not come from monkeys. In fact, there is a missing link between us and them from what I understand.
You said that we are able to trace how a frog turns into a lizard. You don't need to say anything else. That alone is an acknowledgment of evolution. So we don't know how ALL organisms evolved. But then again, we don't know a lot.
You are criticizing people reading about science and believing in it, and then putting a Darwin sticker on their car. Well then what do you suppose you're doing when you read the Bible and then wear a cross around your neck? I fail to see the difference. Science may not appeal to you, but it provides more tangible proof than does a book about faith. I suppose that is why we have religions in the first place, so we can BELIEVE, rather than KNOW.

It has to do with Quantam Pshysics and Parrelel Universes. Look it up, you'll find TONS about it. This exact theory scared Einstein because he couldnt figure out how alot of it works. Supposidly there are 9 Dimensions and we only live in the 3rd. Very intresting stuff. There are different level Multiverses too and within each contains a Identical Parrallel Universe. Like, w/e you are doing now, somewhere someone that has your exact name face body personality etc. is doing the exact same thing. For example, if the galaxy is infinite (goes for ever) somewhere in the entire galaxy everything has to have happened in every scenario at some point. Read about it, too much to explain, but youll read for hours.
A lot of that falls into the category of black holes and whether or not the information trapped inside a black hole is forever lost or preserved. Steven Hawking says it's preserved, but the scientific community is waiting for his final proof. Supposedly that will help to unravel many things concerning parallel universes and the like. But remember, all of what you read about this is based on THEORETICAL physics, so it is all a big theory.
I recommend reading Black Holes and Baby Universes by Stephen Hawking. :]
