Evolved?
HUMANS AND ANIMALS have very different characteristics...
Humans have the ability to write, produce computers, learn foreign languages, and think about concepts such as heaven and God. No animals have these abilities. Not only that, all humans recognize some things as right and others as wrong -- humans have morals. Animals to not have morals like humans. Lions do not gather in small groups to discuss whether or not it is "right" to kill a gazelle or to steal food from other lions. Monkeys do not contemplate how "wrong" it is to get angry and violent.
The truth is human could not have evolved from animals. The Bible tells us the true story: God created Adam from the dust of the ground in His own image on day six of the Creation week. When Adam named all the animals, he saw that none of the animals was suitable to be his companion, so God created Eve from one of Adam's ribs. The idea that humans evolved from little more than a rat is neither scientific or true. (Kyle Butt)
KneEmail: "Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And Adam said: 'This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man'" (Gen. 2:19-23; cf. 1:26-28).
