Monkey See, Monkey Do

I didn't come from an ancient lineage of primates. I don't have apes as ancestors. There's no monkey blood running through my veins. My brothers aren't baboons and I'm no chimpanzee. My cousins and relatives walk upright, and in spite of what the common folk may think or say, no gorillas live among us. I know so and I'm sure of it.


That being said, don't get me wrong, guys. There's nothing wrong with monkeys. They're as fine as they come – long limbs, hairy backs, pouty lips and all that. It's just that I'd rather have them in cages forests than have bits of them floating in my DNA. In deep, dense, forests of unfathomable depths, rather than messing with and dipping their opposable thumbs into my biological make-up.


I didn't slowly BECOME the way I am
over millions and millions of years.
I was MADE the way I am.


I don't mean to sound cocky, arrogant or conceited in any way; but really... I don't care if they say that Darwin was smart. I don't care if he was made famous by his Theory of Evolution. I don't care if he wrote extensively about it and published books and papers on the subject. He could have single-handedly planted the Amazon forest and resurrected the dinosaurs, for all I care. All that matters is that I know that the man was wrong.


To you, Darwinians, who believe in the gradual process of human evolution with the passing of many moons: I'm sorry but you're on your own, mates. For from monkey, I didn't come from; and a monkey today, I most certainly am not. Enjoy the evolution pie if you must. And go ahead. Have my share while you're at it. I ain't eating the stuff. I don't have to. I've got better things to chew on.

I procrastinated the whole night when I could have been done with work. Now I can't go back to sleep because I got to go to work.

All your fault I tell you... you and your monkeys.

that theory has a few flaws to it and most important flaws is that there's little if prove at all of transitional organisms

Well, I managed to sneak in 3 hours sleep more than you, monkey or no monkey. HAH! *bangga*

– Haha. A few flaws? More like "is flawed". And yep, it was a guess. It wasn't fact. Still isn't. They're disproving the theory as the days go by. ID is coming up, though. Talks of that should be in interesting. I'm looking forward to it.

Read the apologetics of...? I'm assuming Christian apologetics.

Yup! WE ARE CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD! The BIBLE tells me so.

To my dear Darwinians:-
Prove the BIBLE is wrong if you want to convince us! If you cant, stop propagating the theory that is abstract. Lets see if you can turn a monkey into a human by experimentating for 100 years. IF you can, marry the monkey instead, dont marry human! Woohoo! Did I just said that? Hahaha =)


Down to Darwin's Theories.....
Also Down to the Da Vinci Codes......

Whoa. You just sounded so... radical. So fanatical. So extremist. So loony. Control a bit can bo? Going head on will only cause them to close up and become defensive. Sometimes you gotta use some taichi.

ID?? what that?

luxen said...

Eh, according to evolution, we didn't descent from monkeys lar... we share the same ancestors as them. We share more genetic similarity to mices than primates today actually. That being said, we all probably came to 'exist' from a chemical soup billions of years ago. How this chemical interaction came by to create us is the core of the debate of ID and evolution now.

You can't take the historical timeline in the Bible literally, otherwise the earth is only 10,000 years old. Archeological data has shown that the earth is 4.54 billion years old. I think the bible should be taken more for it's moral lessons than literally. Taking the bible literally word for word has led to things like the Crusade and the Spanish Inquisition. Learn to be a good person and help others to be better.

I didn't even go to work yet.

We believe in Horizontal evolution, like if you are a panda..you could become a new species of panda due to environment.

But we DO NOT believe in Vertical evolution, like if you are an ape, you could transform to be a human. Its NOT possible at all. If a chimpanzee could transform to be a human, then what about other creatures?

Does that means the humans that we see nowdays originated from apes and other beasts? Weird right?

I met with Dr. Watson & Crick (founder of DNA) before in 1998 visit to Malaysia and asked this question; Is it possible for us to reconstruct the dinosaur base on the sources of DNA available. The answer is NOT POSSIBLE!

It is only sensationalized in Jurassic Park! If that is not even possible with science then what actually makes us think that we can transform an ape into human? If anybody can find a way to do that, then tell me. I want to transform the peoples that I dont like into pigs so that I can bully them....Hahaha =P

Waaa. So free ah you all? No need work ah? Haha. Reply your comments later yah. Unlike the rest of you, I work for my paycheck.

But I tak boleh tahan. I reply Leon first... HAHA.

– ID is Intelligent Design. It's a pretty decent theory that supports the possibility of God being our Creator and that we live in a physical world that is influenced by things of the supernatural. Very interesting to read.

Wiki says: Intelligent design is the claim that "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection." It is a modern form of the traditional teleological argument for the existence of God, modified to avoid specifying the nature or identity of the designer. Its primary proponents, all of whom are associated with the Discovery Institute, believe the designer to be God. Intelligent design's advocates claim it is a scientific theory, and seek to fundamentally redefine science to accept supernatural explanations.

You can check it out further on wiki if this isn't enough.

but luxen there are claims that the the method for dating is flawed so how do we really know the age of the earth?
and also doesn't sharing the same common ancestor means also we descended from them? so doesn't that mean we come from them?

I don't think that most of us take the historical timeline presented in the Bible literally. It says that God made men, the birds, the seas, the skies and everything else in 6 days and he rested on the 7th. Are those 6 days 6 x 24 hours? I don't think so. It is man who misinterprets the Bible as he wishes. We try to put 3D concepts into a 4D dimension. How to understand? If we lived in a dimension alike to God's, what makes Him great and us, mere humans? We have to first understand that the Bible and it's concepts are much more complex than that.

And yes, the dating method they've used for the Earth is flawed. Dating is still being advanced as we speak. But it's nice to know that even so, some of the stories in the Bible are already starting to be proven true. Not mere bedtime stories we tell the kids. =)

Ooh Pam like which stories? And there's a story I once heard to illustrate why humans cannot use their own understanding to completely understand the universe. They need God-given wisdom and it's only given when asked. Here's the story:

Let's say, if you go to a city where everyone there was blind. And so you go there and you try to explain to them the wonderful concept of sight. How would you describe it? No matter what you say, they won't truly understand because they've never experienced it. And so even if God were to explain to us the secrets of the universe, our 3D minds would never be able to fully understand them without divine wisdom.

Pam Song said...

Noah's ark, for one. And it's also said that they discovered the Tomb of Jesus. What about Solomon's Temple? So many lah. That's cos the Bible is based on FACT as well! It's pretty expected since the stories weren't made up.

Yeah, your example says it perfectly. But we do try, don't we? Haha.
