[QUOTE="nimatoad2000"]evolution is a fact.Duckman5
Actually it's a theory. the theory of evolution , aka the explanation of our evolution, step by step and why is a theory, everychanging. BUT the fact that we evolve, and that evolution exists, IS FACT. people always get this mixed up, they say just because its a theory means its not fact, the theory isnt 100%, but evolution itself is a fact.
I'm agnostic but I am satisfied with the Darwinian explanation. And I think it's believed that humans and apes have a common ancestor, not that we are direct descendants of them.

I know but I'm just saying. It's not a fact by itself. :P i said evolution is a fact, not the theory of evolution is a fact, you fail at trolling. :| Oh please... *Leaves thread*

I can't imagine not believing in evolution. I mean what is there to believe in anyway? As soon as you understnad the idea, the reality of evolution's kind of an unavoidable conclusion. Mutations occur and are propagated, no? Micro-evolution = macro-evolution viewed on a different scale.

He wasn't trolling.I've seen a lot of use of the word "troll" here the last few days and almost everytime it's used wrong. :/ how do you know it wasn't a world of warcraft reference to one of the playable races on the horde faction?

Being agnostic has nothing to do with whether or not you believe in evolution. I am an agnostic theist and I know as a scientific fact that humans are directly related to apes.

I meant agnostic about the particular question of human evolution. Agnostic is not primarily a word to be used only for religious belief.
In that case I'm not agnostic about evolution at all, since it's logical. Most people accept that traits are passed on from parent to child. If those traits increase the likelihood of surviving long enough to have children, then those particular traits will be passed on more and become more prevalent. Over time the species will change as a result. It seems pretty believable that humans and apes could have evolved from the same species this way; we are pretty similar, after all.
From an 'ape'? That is a bit too broad to accept. It is also the wrong taxonomy. Wouldn't it be more proper to say, "Evolved from some ancestor which is of the Great Ape family? Because technically, we are apes, if I accept the premise I'm not insane.
Not really, but I'm not even sold on evolution itself. Humans took a very strange path on the evolutionary process, where we got smarter but less able to cope with the enviroment we lived it rather than adapted to it like other animals. Has any other animal gone down this path?

Actually being smarter makes us MORE able to cope than other species. Example: "Oh crap, it's cold! What to do? I know, I shall invent fire! Now I haz the warm." Meanwhile, the mammoth become extinct. Take that natural selection. The path of our evolution has allowed us, to some extent, to subvert the normal order of things by making mental rather than physical ability a defining characeristic.
