Top Ten Creationist Arguments

Even the statement that we evolved from monkeys is not exactly accurate. It would be more precise to say that we have a common evolutionary lineage

Exactly.

Why do people believe that a god created our world? Douglas Adams explains in less than five minutes:

to put it simple the creationists have no idea what they are against and what they are saying to say that they're right.

Rocky's Law: Atheism is a lack of belief. Creationism is a lack of knowledge.

The funny thing is, in ancient Rome, the early Christians were referred to as atheists, as they had refused to worship the state gods.

I do not know whom I am paraphrasing or quoting, but here goes: "Religious believers are atheists about all gods except their own. Atheists just believe in one less god."

Quite true.

Alright, for a change of pace, here is an Islamic Creationist:

They put even less effort into their fact checking than the Christians it seems. But at least Christian Creationists are less likely to kill you for disagreeing with them. For now.

I doubt humans evolved from monkeys. Most likely, humans are just another species of ape and were never actual monkeys. We evolved from some kind of algae.
But it does make you wonder. Why such diversity? Can the theory of evolution really explain why humans are humans and why other land mammals exist that are so different from us? We all live on land, so how is it there's so much variety? Theory of evolution seems too simple to explain it all. That doesn't mean God did it. Maybe there's another explanation? What if it's just something in the DNA?

Yes, this is 2 hours long:

You're welcome

There's a crapload of ways for DNA to mutate and a lot of niches to fill.

We did not evolve from monkeys, monkeys evolved alongside us from a common ancestor.



The amount of variety on land pales in comparison to the oceans. Evolution does explain diversity. The only way there could be a homogenous biosphere is if every single living cell changed in the exact same way at the exact same time. This is obviously not the case. Micro and macro evolution on an unimaginably grand scale is what is responsible for the diversity of life on Earth. 99% of all the species that have lived are extinct, just to put it in perspective

It is easier to comprehend evolution when viewing life as a physical translation of genetic code

Ultimately to go delve into the origins of life is not necessarily what evolution is about, but rather how life changes over time. The origins of life are more likely to lie in the fields of chemistry and quantum physics

This is a video on Abiogenesis I find provides a good explanation

The fact that so many species are extinct does not support the theory of evolution.

That is a very large oversimplification of it
