    But hold on a second, why would monkeys be evolving into human today?  Not only does it take millions of years for a species to evolve,but there are no reason for this form of evolution to occur. . . It has also been proven that polar bears were once a species of brown bear, but for some reason were forced to live in the cold environments that they do today. Therefore they had to _evolve_ (or adapt, as you so call it) so that they could survive. . .You still see brown bears, AND you see polar bears. . .

    Why couldn't we have evolved from 'tiny micro-organisms'?? Given enough time, reason and conditions, anything is possible.
    TIME( millions of years)
    REASON(perhaps living that way was causing them to become extinct, or  they changed their diets or changed were they lived, which would effect their way of living, and their offspring, therefore making alterations in that species, or EVOLUTION)
    CONDITIONS (too cold, too hot, not enough food or different types of food, harsher living conditions -advanced predators, which means that they have to be faster, better prepared etc.)

    Isn't adaptation a type of evolution?? Over time, doesn't that 'adaption' become frequent in the offspring, therefore a stage of evolution for the species??

    If we're not supposed to eat red meat, then why does it taste so good, why does it make us stronger, more responsive and why does it plays a key part it our diets --and has for thousands of years??
    Why would there be the desire to consume it, if 'our body can not digest [it]'?

    So, that doesn't necessarily mean that we evolved from animals with 'similar body part'. We could have, no body knows if we did or we didn't, as least not yet. All animals must have a common ancestor, to be able to relate to them. That doesn't mean that we _evolved_ from them. . .Sure we had a common ancestor, but the animals you see alive on the Earth today, are not they same that they were a million years before (give or take). They all would have had to have changed in some way, shape or form , to better suit life today.

    As for the cow's appendix. . . different animals organs, vary for their use. A cow doesn't eat meat, bread, or vegetables (in the sense of capsicum, tomatoes, chili's etc) They live a simple life of eating (grass), drinking (water), sleeping, breeding etc. Wouldn't their appendix be 'programmed' to deal with the cows eating/drinking/living habits??

    Lastly, God. Everyone has their own beliefs. I myself believe in God, but I also believe in evolution. So I am not going to argue with or against this argument. . .
