More and more sientists are discovering flaws in the theroy (even whats his name who invented it said it was flawed...)

yip adding a lot of weight to your argumet there.

Actually, evolutionary theory doesn't argue that humans evolved from monkeys. Or even apes.

Rather, that there was a common ancestor of all three way way back. A prototype monkey evolved from that common ancestor a bazillion years ago,
a prototype ape evolved somewhat less bazillion years ago, and proto-hominoids (ie us) started coming along less bazillions still. So there's no direct connection between apes monkeys and man. Just that if you go back down the evolutionary tree of each, eventually you end up with a common "ancestor" (keep going back, and you end up with the common ancestor of all , a slime mould. Keep going back further still and you find yourself in South Auckland.)

Now here's a man who knows what he's on about with anthropology.

Good one Ix. We all have 'one' common ancestor and the religous right still pass on the myth that we humans evolved from the apes. We did not. We evolved from one common ancestor and evolved along different evolutionary paths. Our closet kin was Neanderthal. He just did not cut the mustad, but having said that if homo sapiens survive as a species half as long as Neanderthal man we may be able to say the we 'made' it one day.

Yes it has its holes, but Darwin's theory of evolution is significantly less flawed than other theories such as creationism. So it is currently accepted as the most plausible explanation for man's existence. The only reason it is so widely debated is because it conflicts with the beliefs held by many religiious groups. Atomic theory is merely a theory also, yet it is accepted as fact and not debated as it doesnt directly conflict with religion .

i was and still am obsessed with apes and monkeys, mainly chimps. and the intelligence displayed by some [read jane goodall] is amazing. the group dynamics, warring with neighbouring groups [they attacked and destroyed their neighbours....lots of violence...jumping on the "enemy". one was witnessed taking the victims leg and twisting it around and around on the knee joint, stealing and killing young infants from other mothers, and then eating the remains.]
the similarities between them and us tells me we are alike. i just wish my human ancestors had stayed in the goddam trees.

im a believer of evolution, though i have no idea where everything came from orginally.... im also looking around and seeing a lot more kids born with various disabilities and illnesses, and i think thats just another link to evolution.... a few years back, there seems to have been a spate of down sydrome births, as theres a number of down syndrome adults in my town that appear to be the same ages. now it seems like every second kid has ADHD or similar.
