I'm guessing the non-dung-throwing monkeys got more ladies. That's how evolution works, get it? As environments change, the animals best suited to survive the change pass on their genes. Besides, form what I understand we didn't evolve from monkeys, but share a common ancestor.
Science! It's made of facts and observations!

This statement is to be found nowhere in Darwin's theory of Evolution. but if you want to generalize and twist things... then strictly according to the bible are we not all made up of mud and rib bones?

Just like Scientists still to this day can't explain how they found whale bones on top of a mountain due to the floods. Science claims that the flood never happened. Darwin definitely went to hell in a hand basket. He proved false theories against Gods actual doing. There is a group who tries to prove this too but fails in doing so. Ancestors? Are you nuts man? Evolution is a joke. Period. Why can't Monkeys speak then? If they could speak back then, why can't they now according to your beliefs? The Bible has all of the right answers period.

According to the Bible, God created everything out of nothing. "Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." Genesis 1:26.
then God used Adam's rib to create eve. and that's were mankind came from imho. it makes sense to me and it makes me glad that i wasnt some big bang accident. i realize that some species change over time, which is evolution, but to get a whole new species from the adaptations of another doesn't make sense to me.

It's like arguing what the sky looks like with a blind man, just because you don't know how it evolutions happens doesn't mean it doesn't happen. There is even a word for it:

not that I advocate wikipedia for anything, but it's a good place to start.
I believe in Dinosaurs. Raptor Jesus for president.

If the bible had all of the right answers it wouldn't be called having faith, it would be called having facts. You have faith that the bible is right, and I completely respect your opinion, but you can't say it's right simply because that's what you believe, Just as nobody can prove exactly what causes evolution. I think if a particular religion makes you understand how to live your life better, than that's more important than any scientific theory. But when people think that their religion makes them a more important person, and they have the right to say who's right or wrong based on what the bible says, than they are opened up to equal criticism. I would never say that what a person finds to be true in the bible is wrong, until they go from having their own personal beliefs, to saying it's fact. No body knows what happens when you die, or how you really got here, it's all a matter of what you believe, and why.
As for evolution, I assume seeing you post here, you like reptiles, and with any research at all you would find examples of evolution that occurs every day among reptiles. Like how Corn Snakes will vary in size and appearance depending on what state/location their from, due to the abundance of food, and habitat they live in. Snakes that have traits that aren't conducive to blending in to their surroundings will be more easily detected by predators, so the the more camoflauged snake will survive to carry on it's traits, and slowly evolution happens.

albinoscooby, if you're going to criticize something, why not educate yourself about it, first? I mean, if you don't agree with the theory of evolution, that's cool, but the reasons you've stated are fabrications that have nothing to do with the theory.
If you won't attack the theory on what it does say and instead make up stuff so you can criticize it, it only makes it easier for the people you're talking to to dismiss your opinion. If that's your goal, well, okay, but I would guess it's not.

I remember reading LiveScience and there was an article explaining how the great flood may have occured. It may not have been all across the earth, but there was some large scale flooding around the time of Noah.
I don't know about your whale skeleton on the mountain, but most scientists would most likely hypothesize that at SOME point water was covering the area where the whale skeleton was found and conduct testing of soil samples to determine salt levels at the depth the skeleton was found to futher support their "theory/hypothesis".
I don't think that science necessarily disproves faith. Faith is the belief in something WITHOUT proof, whereas science is belief suspended until proof.
I true believer in IMHO is one who believes and doesn't feel the need to justify their beliefs. Only those who doubt, feel the need to prove themselves correct.
There was a gorilla, named Coco (if I remember correctly) who did speak in sign language. All animals have their own communication, they may not have our vocal chords, but they do speak if you listen.

I remember doing some hikes up mountains and finding fossils of seashells in the loose rock near the peaks. Since this was with a Christian group it obviously proved the flood.
Except that the earth has gone through serious tectonic changes over the millions of years. When two plates collide they buckle, forming mountains. These buckled areas very much could have been underwater before the plates collided. A major leading theory is of Pangaea, a super continent that was the only above water continent on Earth. The plates shifted and spread, forming the continents we know today as they separated or collided over time. In fact, this continental drift is measurable and continues to happen today.

I see a few problems with this statement.
First, what does monkeys speaking have to do with evolution. That's like saying why don't amoebas walk. That one statement alone tells me you don't really understand the concept of evolution in the first place.
According to evolution, humans did NOT evolve from monkeys, or apes. This is a very common misconception, and I hate hearing it. What the theory of evolution states is that humans and primates share a common ancestor. This is like saying you and your sibling share a common ancestor. You = humans, Sibling = other primates. You are not directly descended from your sibling, but you share a common ancestor. (this is a metaphor of course)
If humans were evolved from monkeys, then monkeys would not exist in the present.

Note : before there was Pangaea, there was Rodinia. I saw a really cool account of it on the Discovery Channel. Love the cable TV.

The latter link is quite amazing.
And thank you, Heather.
EDIT : There is also a special "The Link" upcoming on cable, talking about how the fossil in the OP will effect history. Just sayin'....

I run a halfway house for men, where this, and worse (or 'more primitive' stuff), goes on all the time.
Incidentally, the Bible says that Satan (the serpent in the Garden of Eden) and his children (snakes) would be sentenced forever to have their heads bruised under the heels of men and women. So are we all sinning by keeping and raising corn snakes? Is this forum and all it stands for sacrilegious?
(Paraphrasing Genesis 3:13-15.)

A. See my above post (the one where I explain how we did not evolve from monkeys)
B. You do know that evolution means change, right? As in, not stay the same.
