    Ok, guys, I have several questions:
    1) why do you even BELIEVE in scientists? Weren't scientist (all 14 or so of them) these same idiots (no offense) who decided (without the rest of the scientific community) that Pluto SHOULD NOT BE A PLANET?
    2) Who walked with Adam in the cool of the day?
    3) Where is God now?
    4) Where was Jesus when God CREATED the world?
    5) Why are most things, in the universe and in science, broken down into 3's (as in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit)?
    6) For those evolutionist out there: if creation is wrong and evolution is correct, then WHY ARE NOT CONTINUING TO EVOLVE? I mean do not evolutionists BELIEVE that man evolved from monkeys? If so, then what did man evolve into? Hmmmmmmm?????????

    Answers:
    1) ???
    2) God
    3) The Father and Son in heaven and the Holy Spirit on earth.
    4) In the mind of God
    5) It is the signature of God.
    6) I am not an evolutionists, but the evolutionist Dawkins has stated that
    man did not evolve from monkeys or apes for they are modern animals.
    They all have evolved from some imaginary animal that became extinct.
    He says there is no longer any evolving because evoution is complete.
    He did not say what man has evolved into.

    Actually man did evolve from apes and is still classified as an ape. He did not evolve from a currently existing ape, but from apes that existed in the past.
    The species that man evolved from did not become extinct, as by definition that would mean it would have no descendants, yet man is a descendant.
    Evolution is not complete and we continue to evolve.

    Essentially you have got every single sentence you wrote wrong.

    If our imaginary ancestor did not become extinct, why do we not
    know what exactly it was and where are all the missing links between
    it and the modern apes and man today. And if you know so much to
    say I got all the answers wrong, why did you not try to answer any of
    them? Very curious, indeed, my dishonest fellow.

    It didn't become extinct - by definition. We are its descendants. If something becomes extinct then it has no descendants.

    We don't know exactly what it was because the only evidence we have for what animals lived at that time are fossils and we have not yet found enough fossils for us to be sure in all cases whether a given species is our direct ancestor or a relative of our ancestors. The same applies to so called 'missing links'. We will never find a fossil for every single generation - and we shouldn't expect to.

    And if you know so much to say I got all the answers wrong, why did you not try to answer any of
    them?

    I did not see the questions until you replied. I have answered some of them in my corrections of your statements.

    Very curious, indeed, my dishonest fellow.
    In what way have I been dishonest? I am still waiting for an apology for your false accusation of dishonesty in the other thread.

    So it appears since we have no fossil evidence of this imaginary animal,
    it will have to remain in the minds of the evolutionists, which is not
    scientific fact for any kind of evolution at all. Then since we do not have
    scientific proof of this animal, then it probably did not exist in the first
    place and we probably did not evolve at all; but we were probably
    created by God just like the Holy Bible says we were. And of course,
    I still believe you have been the dishonest person and actually owe
    me an apology. But as a Christian, I will forgive your misdeeds and
    demand no apology.

    Did you have a great great grandfather? Do you need fossil evidence to prove that he existed? Do you need to know his name and where he lived, to know that he existed?

    And of course, I still believe you have been the dishonest person
    Well then quote the statement I made that you claim was dishonest and I will prove that I was, at the time, telling what I believed to be the truth ie I was being honest.

    I am not asking for fossil evidence that my great, great grandfather existed
    because my grandfather told me he existed and I have written records that
    provide his date of birth and death and all his childrens names, etc. He was
    not an ape and there is no proof that he evolved from some ape in the past.
    So, yes I need proof to believe that somehow in the past an ape evolved
    into a man.

    So you can believe any lie you want, as long as you don't cause me trouble.

    So you think your god put all those fossils in the ground just to jerk our chains?

    What happened to Adam & Eves fossils? After all it was only about 6,000 years ago wasnt it?

    Where is your proof?

    The evolutionary scientist are so , even if they found them, they would not
    know what they had.
