I do not understand the theory of evolution. Help me on my science?

Question

Answer these questions:

1 If evolution is true, why are there still monkeys, yet NO HOMO ERECTUS or Austrolopiphicus?

2. If life doesn't spontaneously form (i.e creationism), how did life start if no base life form existed?

3. We have had industry for about 3 centuries, so why is pollution killing animals? Shouldn't they evolve?

4. How did the Big Bang form life and the worlds? (Explosions don't create, they destroy- see World War 2, Iraq, or any explosion).

5. How did complex organisms (ie Elephants or Humans) form from basic cells?

Thanks.

Answer 1

1. Man did not evolve from monkeys nor apes. Rather, monkeys, apes and man all share a common ancestor. They have been many different groups of intelligent bipedal beings which have gone extinct. Neanderthals are the most well known. Man is the only line that survived.



The fact that there exists different types of monkeys and apes who have survived should show you that there were also at one point different types of man. Was the Bible speaking about Neanderthals or another species of man when it states "There were still giants at that time" and the fact that for most of us 10% of our DNA is Neanderthal.



2. Life from lifelessness is still the big question. As is how could there be sentience springing from the non-sentient?



3. Three centuries is a drop in the bucket in as far as evolutionary development.



4. The concept of the Big Bang is actually in the Bible. Genesis 1 states that, like the Big Bang, the universe had a beginning. Until this theory was generally accepted atheists were all saying that the universe has always existed. The Big Bang was not an "explosion" per se. Nor did it create the galaxies, solar systems, planets or moons. The Big Bang got the process started and then afterwards gravity did the "creation" as various things were created as they slowly developed due to the attractive force of gravity. Genesis 1 also states the same when it states "now the Earth was a formless void".



5. Again good question for which there is no responsible answer. Evolution did not occur over the 3.5 billion years that life has been on this planet. Rather for 3 billion years life still existed as single cell lifeforms living in colonies. Then over the cosmically short period of just 50 million years it jumped to complex creatures with complex organs. This period is called the "Cambrian Explosion" and even Darwin said that it could disprove his theory of natural selection. Even more recently (just 2 years ago for that matter) it has been discovered that terrestrial DNA contains within it a signal that could only have been done by a super-intelligence. This leaves only two possibilities... either it was encoded by a mega-intelligence from inside our universe (and alien species) or one from outside of it (God). (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0019103513000791 )



The fact is that a guided evolutionary process does not deny the existence of God. You should stop looking at science as the enemy. If God is responsible for the creation of the universe ... in whichever way HE chose... then it logically follows that He created the science by which the universe runs. Therefore science can only tell us more about how God did what He did.

Answer 2

1. Because we didn't evolve from monkeys.

2. Just because we don't have a definitive answer doesn't mean the only other option is God.

3. Evolution is not an overnight thing, it takes time.

4. The Big Bang didn't form life or worlds. The Big Bang was not an explosion, it was a sudden expansion of all the energy of the universe.

5. The word is "evolution".



There is no point in explaining these in more detail, since you have already decided not to accept the science (the first question proves that).

If you want to learn, then do some reading like we did.

Answer 3

1. human beings didn't evolve FROM monkeys; with share a common ancestry WITH monkeys. Not the same thing

2. It started with a single cell molecule; which changed through mutation over time.

3. Evolution works slower than a few centuries. It takes thousands to billions of years for a evolutionary change to occur. Its also dependant on a need to evolve, based on survival, adaption etc and many other factors

4. The big bang has nothing to do with evolution. Evolution is about the origin of the species. The Big bang is the origin of the universe. Two very different issues. The big bang didn't create life on worlds and it was not an explosion; it was more of a small spark.

5. All species started off as lower basic life forms that mutated, changed and adapted over time. I suggest you Google "the Fossil record" for more insight.

Answer 4

Evolution doesn't mean replacement of the ancestors' characteristics entirely with a new one. Evolution from a common ancestor can diverge into many different species such as apes.



Self replicating molecules can be formed spontaneously. This was proven scientifically.



Evolution doesn't mean species should adapt into adverse conditions. Extinction is a part of evolution.



A big blast among living beings will kill them.

A big blast before living beings were created, makes a new start.



Complex organisms can be developed by basic forms under conditions of self replication, and functional diversification. An aggregate of organisms can have specific jobs undertaken through functional coordination which leads to the formation of organs and tissues. Organs inside a complex organism are small organisms working together.



Those arr basics of evolution. Please do 15min a day studying of biology, to get this right.

Answer 5

You truly don't understand. What do they teach in school these days?

1. Those species die out when a more capable emerges. Monkeys are a modern species, not our common ancestor.

2. Life is a combination of complex chemical reactions. Given the right situation, and stimulation, chemicals start reacting to stimulus. Scientists are studding this now, and are on the verge of creating basic life in a laboratory.

3. It takes much longer than a few generations for a species to evolve.

4. The big bang isn't supposed to describe the beginning of life. It describes what happened at the beginning of the universe, not how or why it happened, just what happens.

5. Subtle genetic mutations, over thousands of generations will slowly alter a population of creatures enhancing their survivability. After enough time the creators will become more advanced, and change in almost every aspect

Answer 6

Utterly dishonest question since it was posted in R&S. I helped you out and moved it to the correct category rather than reporting it.

1. Not monkey directly. A common ancestor with chimps is the closest we come to an existing species. Those others were probably out competed just like Homo Neandertalis.

2. Not part of evolutionary theory

3. 3 centuries isn't long enough for most though some plants and microbes have adapted since they have shorter generational cycles.

4. Not evoluton. See cosmology

5. Take a course in evolution. The earliest multicellular life was really more a collection of individual cells Specialization of the cells then gave an edge to those collections that were undifferentiated. Ever hear of slime molds?

From Wikipedia: Many slime molds, namely the "cellular" slime molds, actually do not spend most of their time in this state. As long as food is abundant, these slime molds exist as single-celled organisms. When food is in short supply, many of these single-celled organisms will congregate and start moving as a single body. In this state they are sensitive to airborne chemicals and can detect food sources. They can readily change the shape and function of parts and may form stalks that produce fruiting bodies, releasing countless spores, light enough to be carried on the wind or hitch a ride on passing animals.[3]



Your dishonesty and ignorance are deep. You can cure both of those if you wish to. By asking such questions in R&S I doubt you wish to and just want your ignorance validated by other ignorant people.

Answer 7

i have a very basic understanding of these subjects. most of them aren't about evolution i'll try to answer as bets as i can.



1. yes Evolution is true. australopithecus and Homo erectus are extinct species of humans

there are extinct species of monkeys and apes that existed in australopithecus or Homo erectus time and are now are extinct.



2. life evolved from organic molecules.



3. 3 centuries is minuets in evolutionary time scale. it takes allot more time for species to evolve



4.it wasn't really an explosion, the big bang is a name the theories opponents gave it to ridicule it and it stuck



5. all complex organisms are made of basic cells.

Answer 8

1. The theory doesn't say we came from monkeys, but that we share an ancestor.

2. That's the big question. Science hasn't figured it all out - yet.

3. 300 years isn't millions of years.

4. You'd have to actually read a little bit on the Big Bang theory.

5. EddieJ's answer is better.



Lastly, please note that not knowing the answer isn't proof of something else.

Answer 9

Because there was a split....some monkeys stayed monkeys and others evolved into Homo Erectus. Life started when the hot core of the Earth and the heat of the sun caused bacteria to form in the primordial swamp....this life form gradually grew legs and climbed out of the swamp....eventually becoming us. Don't understand the industry bit....why is pollution killing animals. We had industries which burned fossil fuels (coal) which polluted the air but that was outlawed eventually, Have you heard of one-celled animals ...amoebas? they split to form two ...then the cells multiplied over millions of years to turn into other creatures. This Big Bang was a metaphorical one ...not a real one.....as I said it was heat which caused the first bacteria to form in the swamp. Hope that helps.

Answer 10

another stupid person choosing an idiot as best answer



you didnt understand evolution (or science) and you still dont



Never mind - the point of the question wasnt to get some education and you succeeded

Answer 11

there is no "theory of evolution" it is a theory of evolution BY natural selection , no one has EVER proposed an autonomous self originating process of "evolution"

Answer 12

evolution is wrong
