They aren't, as an individual. But populations do. Lookup the definition.

I can give facts for 3 of the 4 do happen in primate societies.


Maybe the 4th happens as well, but I don't speak their language

So every animal has been here since the beginning of time in the exact same way we see them now, right?

And please define "own kind" while you're at it.

Any hook nosed liberal atheist care to take a stab at this one? Didn’t think so.



atheists think they have all of the answers. everything we need is in the bible, the bible says so. god created us in his image and when we fricked up he cast us out of the garden of eden and then he sent his son who was also himself to get killed by us so that we would be saved by him who is also his son from him who was also his son that we killed. it's amazing at how blind the cuck libtards are.

Humans are 46 chromosome apes(48 chromosomes).
Humans and chimps share 96% of the same DNA.
Google chromosome 2 and educate yourself a bit.

Neanderthals existed around 30,000 years ago. If they had survived alongside humans to today, evolution would never be questioned.

Also, while your at it go frick one and see if your DNA is compatible. God made each animal and man to only be able to procreate with its own kind.

You can always tell the people that don't understand how evolution works. Humans, and all other life, ARE still evolving, Numbnuts. You people don't have the slightest understanding of basic science, then you get all indignant when people can't go back to the 6th grade level and catch you up on the ten years of education that you, apparently, slept through.

Hence why humans from different parts of the globe (sorry flat earthers) look different. It's all evolution based on positive traits to the physical world around you. I'm just waiting for some of you puddin brains to start saying the earth is only 5000 years old.

I think the funnier suggestion would be that the being that created the entire universe was so pathetic as a designer that he was unable to come up with much variation is design among nearly all vertebrates. Honestly, it's embarrassing in terms of the lack of creativity. If my 11 year old was drawing creatures and I asked him to draw a bunch of different ones and he came back with that kind of lack of diversity in design, I'd tell him to start over and quit being so intellectually lazy.

Oh...you don't understand evolution at all, do you? Things fill niches, it's not a race towards a "better" version which leads to intelligence. Think of a shark. It's form is so proficient that it's been largely unchanged for hundreds of millions of years...because it works perfectly within its environment.

We are, Dum Dum. Evolution is slow. Deep time slow, which is largely the problem for you guys.

Wow, you really ARE dumb, huh? We're different species. That's literally the one of the most important aspects of speciation...the inability to breed with a different species. This does not prove a non-relationship, only that we are not the same species.

quote:

First, prove the existence of this god you mentioned, then we can get back to proving he did this other bullshite.

Yes, in that we share a common ancestor VERY VERY far back with all life on Earth. The more different we are from a particular group the further back, generally speaking, is the divergent point.

We really don't. Atheism is simply the default position. Until there is evidence that the god hypothesis is proven, I remain skeptical of the existence of any gods. I'm not the one making the assertion...I'm just rejecting as unproven the assertion of others.

And I realize you were being facetious given the rest of your post, but I'm sure someone was going to take this seriously so I figured what the hell...

I guess i would consider myself agnostic because I don't know one way or another and I'm fine with that.

Personally, I didn't evolve from a monkey or a chimp. I know this, cuz I am not black.

This is my theory. In order for humans to evolve from chimps, it would require some type of selective breeding. It would require chimps with certain physical traits and intelligence to reproduce with other chimps with certain physical traits and intelligence..

I don't think that is how we became human. We are just another animal. There use to be other types of humans (archaic humans like Neanderthals for example) and we evolved from them into what we are today. Through out intelligence we are able to continue to evolve..



This reads like a 5th grader hypothesizing about our evolutionary origins

There is just so much wrong in here.

I mean, technically the most outspoken atheists say exactly that.

If you think of it on a scale, for instance...



I think most honest people would reject EITHER end proposition. I'm just as likely to shut down someone who says they are 100% sure they know there are no gods as I am to bash someone who says they are 100% sure they know one exists. Given how the entity gets defined, it's literally unknowable.

I'm definitely a #6 though. I can't know for certain, but given what I see as a complete lack of the type of evidence I'd expect for proving the existence of every other thing, I find the existence of any gods very VERY improbable.

But...saying that takes too long and honestly most people won't listen anyway, so plain ole atheist has to suffice.
