Most that claim to know the Bible and obviously doesn't, and asks logical questions back that can't be answered. | |||

"Aren't they both, technically, science? " I found the thread title a tad confusing. Technically though, Darwin himself isn't science - he was a man - but he was a scientist and published a scientific theory. Now if what the OP actually meant by hus question was 'Evolution vs Science' then I would suggest that perhaps he doesn't understand that Evolution IS science. But, to be fair, I'm far too tired to fully grasp what he might or might not have meant | |||

"Well it certainly wasn’t that we evolved from apes , because an ape is always an ape , as is a human always a human . Th every fact that anyone believes we were a different species at some point is ridiculous . " So what does a butterfly come from or a frog are they always a butterfly and a frog. Or is the evolution speeded up in those things or whats happening there then ? | |||

" It is speculation, but it is likely that there are common ancestors to many species. If you consider that for mammals and lizards/reptiles etc, all have a combination of 2 eyes, 2 ears, 4 limbs, a tail etc. Whilst evolution has taken most families on different paths, you could trace all back to a common ancestor. The fact there are huge holes in fossil records means there is no way to trace the lineage completely, it would not be unreasonable to speculate that way back there were far fewer species than exist today. Wolves became wolves and dogs. Boar became boar and pigs etc. It is unlikely that a pig will evolve to become a horse but we cannot dismiss the possibility that they evolved from the same common ancestor. | |||

"And to follow the monkey analogy, it is entirely possible that whatever there was before apes and humans branched out to eventually become apes and humans."

For an animal to evolve it needs a niche to evolve into, a place we currently and ruthlessly occupy. Also the only reason we are the last surviving species of human is because we wiped all the others out.  | |||

there is some evidence that some bacteria may actually travel in or on space dust / rocks so some bacteria may actually be alien life forms. Contamination before examination can't be rulled out though. | |||

All I’m saying is that humans have always been humans . We weren’t chimps or orangutans , we were always humans .
They evolved from a common ancestor. How do you think they came into being as a seperwrw soecues in their own right?
According to science everything evolved from a common ancestor at some point . All I’m saying is that we were never another species , and I don’t believe anything was .
Each species evolved from something , I’m well aware of that . But ‘that’ which it evolved from surely can’t be any more can it ? That’s what I’m getting at . We weren’t at any point anything other than what we are now , we weren’t another species ."It's not that we evolved from ap3e.... We are apes under the family hominoids | |||

"One doesn’t suddenly become the other or cross over into something completely different . All I’m saying is that humans have always been humans . We weren’t chimps or orangutans , we were always humans . That is correct, but the first humans were born to a species of Sub-Human... and at some distant point in the evolutionary ladder we descended from a species of ape who were also descendants of modern Apes. Ultimately, all life (plant, animal, bacteria etc) all started from the same simple single cell life forms. Cal Would it be fair to assume that when we descended from a species of ape , that same ape became extinct when we evolved from it ? Are you enjoying your wind up? Lol " Does that mean since all species evolved from protozoa that every species has equal rights (as do humans)? We need to give oysters the right to vote !!!!!! Votes for oysters!!!! | |||

"Well it certainly wasn’t that we evolved from apes , because an ape is always an ape , as is a human always a human . Th every fact that anyone believes we were a different species at some point is ridiculous . So what does a butterfly come from or a frog are they always a butterfly and a frog. Or is the evolution speeded up in those things or whats happening there then ? The inherent dna is still from the original species . The fact that a tadpole and a caterpillar are external forms of the pre fully formed species is irrelevant . It’s still a frog , it’s still a butterfly . The frog won’t ever become anything other than a frog , just as the butterfly will always be a butterfly . I have no doubt that species have adapted to weather and terrain , but I don’t believe for one second that a species has become another species . A species can deviate sufficiently from another species to be classified in it's own right. A horse will never become a cow , a pig will never become a dog etc...... Speciation occurs but that’s interbreeding until it’s no longer physical possible , and a ‘new’ species is in existence , but it isn’t a monkey becoming a human , the monkey still exists , and the human is a new species , not a species that used to be something else . I think you might need a biology textbook for Christmas
Perhaps , but as you said earlier , a waxy tree frog and a bull frog , a lion and a domestic cat . They are branches of the same species , but are species in their own right . One doesn’t suddenly become the other or cross over into something completely different .

" Ultimately, all life (plant, animal, bacteria etc) all started from the same simple single cell life forms. Cal ---- Would it be fair to assume that when we descended from a species of ape , that same ape became extinct when we evolved from it ? " No not necessarily. Evolution is basically all about mutation. So say for example a type of ancient horse is generally a mixture of random black and white colouring, but every so often the random pattern makes a vehicle stripe... then because of the improved camouflage effect if those stripes these horse type things are less likely to get caught by a predator. Then two of these stripey variations breed, and the stripey gene gets propagated creating a slightly different version of the Original horse type thing which is always stripey. It would be identical to the originals except for always being stripey... having a dominant stripey gene. And thus it has evolved. There's nothing to say that the originals must cease to exist, it's just that a persistant mutated variant has branched off the evolutionary tree. Multiply these tiny mutations by billions over hundreds of millions of years and you have all sorts of different new species with common beginnings. | |||

Th every fact that anyone believes we were a different species at some point is ridiculous . " A) we are an ape - the family Hominids belong to is the great apes. B) We share a common ancestor with chimpanzees, if that is what you mean. C) Everything on the planet evolved from a diffrent species, thanks to genetic mutations. | |||

"According to who?" Bloke down the pub told me.
According to him or her, this being an equal opportunities tale, chemicals in a primordial soup eventually mixed up a carbon based bacteria life form as in it ingested other life forms to grow and multiply, this bacteria was very successful and bred rapidly, but was a tad unsure of its composition. It therefore mutated all over the shop.
Eventually it developed characteristics that allowed it to be classified as a life form, probably a single cell, but with some ability to move it's cell walls and move where it wanted.
From that basis almost all, and certainly all visible life forms have been carbon based, probably because it is less stable than silicate, it then went on to adapt to a variety of different environments. And along that survival path many different shapes of life forms emerged.
