True! But in order for that to happen humans must first turn into apes, then go back from apes to humans and so on and so on and so on.....
Um, how is humans turning into apes history repeating itself? That would be history doing the reverse of what it did before. Not only that, but the phrase "history repeats itself" is not a scientific standard. So, it has no relevance here.
Unless you are talking about the fact that for something to be proven scientifically it must be reproducable. Which is a far higher standard of "proof" than any religion requires.
I never was a monkey in the first place......... Don't believe in BS like that "PERIOD" But youre way of thinking is correct though +1 for helping me see the light.
Well, even if you don't agree with someone, you seem to at least consider their arguments - more than what many "religions" people who blindly follow what they are told. I believe people are afraid to question anything about thier religion for fear they will be looked down upon. Plus, most religions are based upon the fact that they are the one true "truth" and are infallible. That is the problem with religions, IMHO.
You have to continually question that which is purported to be true unti it is proven to be true. The early philosophers were always in search for the truth, but they were also devoutly religious people. Even DeCarte was devoutly religios and struggled on how to handle the new proven truth he had found because it ran contrary to what the church purported to be true.
By the way, evolution does not purport that man evolved from monkeys. So, if you don't believe in evolution, do you believe that God instantaneously created Man and Woman? If so, how do you balance that with the fact that there are humanoid remains that have been recovered that are much, much older than the bible purports? Where do you believe that cromagnon and neanderthals fall into this?
Evolution is a fact, not a theory. There is direct evidence that evolution has occured. however, I do believe that if there is a God, he could have created humans at an advanced state and we have evolved from there or that God used evolution to create humans from more primitive animals.

Yes, I actually meant to include "universe" in quotes. Because at that time, I believe, they didn't realize there were different galaxies.
