Several species of Australopithecus have been identified, based on variations in skulls and teeth.
It is still uncertain whether these early hominids are the precursors of fully modern humans, or represent a separate evolutionary line. |

Hmm yeah, I think religion is just to give people hope, to make people believe they are special by saying a 'God' created them, because in the Bible there is nothing about Dinos, yet we have proof of their existence. I like the idea of a God, and although I dont think a God created humans, I think something (God?), must have set off the whole creation of the universe and Earth and whats on it. Therefore we can still be evolved from apes, but there is an existance of a God figure. |
Australopithecines
Australopithecus afarensis Australopithecus africanus Australopithecus anamensis Australopithecus boisei Australopithecus robustus |

It was my husband actually told her to ask the question, My daughter is very religious, I want her to have a mind of her own, I hate the thought of her being brain washed!! |

Ah yeah, religion can brain wash people, but she should be fine if you keep an eye on her about it. :) Ive never been very religious myself. |
Here's the dictionary definition Jordy :
Main Entry: 1ag·nos·tic Pronunciation: \ag-ˈnäs-tik, əg-\ Function: noun Etymology: Greek agnōstos unknown, unknowable, from a- + gnōstos known, from gignōskein to know — more at know Date: 1869 1 : a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god 2 : a person unwilling to commit to an opinion about something <political agnostics> |
Yepp that sounds pretty me Niamh, cheers! I know what I can say I am now. :laugh:

It's more likely then someone waving a magic wand and creating everything in seven days, Although I like to believe in both evolution and a higher power.

The question "if we evolved from apes, why are apes still around?" shows a complete misunderstanding of evolution. Humans, Gorillas and Chimpanzees share a distant common ancestor. We all just branched off and evolved in slightly different directions.
http://www.evogeneao.com/tree.html - awesome diagram of the Tree of Life. I think some creationists - who usually spout that silly question - just resent the fact that we share ancestry with other apes. Not because evolution provides us with a better explanation than some God making woman out of Adam's rib, but because it would mean: God - who according to the biblical creation myth created us in His image - would look similar to this: http://politicalpartypooper.files.wo...bush-chimp.jpg If anyone is interested, a few great websites on evolution: http://www.talkorigins.org/ http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/index.html http://evolution.berkeley.edu/ http://www.becominghuman.org/ |

Genesis is not a scientific recipe book for making worlds and universes, a quick read through is all you need to establish that. Sadly few people bother to do so. |

in 200 years people will scoff at our "science" |
It is scientific fact that we do evolve from apes - so don't really know why we are debating the question!

we came from dinosaurs
raaaaarrrr!! imma get you |

Dr. David Pilbeam (a distinguished professor of anthropology) suggested the following: Perhaps generations of students of human evolution, including myself, have been flailing about in the dark; that our data base is too sparse, too slippery, for it to be able to mold our theories. Rather the theories are more statements about us and ideology than about the past. Paleoanthropology reveals more about how humans view themselves than it does about how humans came about. But that is heresy. |
So LeatherTrumpet, what do you believe exactly? That we're connected in no way to primates and haven't evolved in any shape or form through time?
