That's just the first article I could find. My Biology professor was talking about it just last week, as a matter of fact.

Hmm . . . interesting. The downfall to the internet, too much conflicting information.

Here, this will blow your mind too... There is a 100% accurate DNA test that cops could use to tell what a suspect's race is, so they can narrow down their search.

Police are afraid to use it though. Don't want to "offend" anyone i guess.

Haha...Where's the anti-evolutionists when you need one? lol

If you really want to break it down...Just about every bit of life on this planet is going to have a varying degree of similarity in the DNA. We evolved on the same planet.


Now if you want to follow the Evolution theory, then primates and humans MAY have a link somewhere...which is what the search for the "Missing Link" is.

However it's hard to say in truth...because we just don't know. We can theorize until we are blue in the face.

What's funny...is that Darwin himself changed his mind on his deathbed about Evolution. Now if that was of his own volition, or if it was the Church forcing him to satisfy his Christian beliefs of going to Heaven...who knows....But I wouldn't put it past them...They did brand Gallileo as a heretic because he said the Earth wasn't the center of the universe....lol

Oh, god, not the creationists.

The creationists, time and time again have spread propaganda that Darwin somehow changed his mind before dying about Evolution. Darwin was very passionate about his theory, and in no way did he ever regret doing any of his studies. In fact, Darwin could've cared less about being branded a Heretic.

"Theory" doesn't mean "**** you just make up." And guess what? That the earth revolves around the sun? Theory, too. Theory which the creationists are also after. One step at a time, though. They figure they try take down evolution first.

That's about all creationists say, so I think it will suffice. Thanks!

I heard someone talk once. This person was a heavy drug user for many years. I take everything he says lightly. He is a very intelligent person. He has lots of ideas and some really interesting points of view. However, one day he was telling me how it takes 6 days for a human life to begin (or something along those lines, I really wish I could remember his exact terminology because it was quite interesting). In essence what he said was that God didn't create the world in 6 days and rest on the 7th, but rather he created us in 6 days and rested on the 7th. Humans just assumed he created everything in 7 days but what he really created was us in a planet and universe that already existed, but no man would be able to know that everything existed or something like that. I will talk to him again and write it down.
