Drawin's Theory

So this is my first blog, and I've decided to post my thoughts on topics that are important to me and deserve discussion. I don't want to offend anyone but to just challenge theory's; prove them wrong if I can. And just blab about things that piss me off but I cant really say anything at that exact moment.

So my boyfriend told me that he doesn't necessarily believe in a God, but he believes that Darwin's theory makes sense (applying to humans). I, of course, strongly disagree and have sought out reasons why this theory cannot be supported.

For those of you who have no idea who Charles Darwin is, he was a scientist who, of course, discovered the Darwin Finches. He also believed the idea of natural selection, which means the animal with the most desirable traits will be most likely to reproduce and survive( "survival of the fittest"). Also the more famous notion; that man came from apes.

It is completely understandable for an individual to believe this. Apes can be as big as a person, and if you think about it they probably look the most human like, but it has been scientifically proven that us humans are 97% alike to apes BUT we are 99% alike to a mouse. So why don't people say we evolved from mice? Or the fact that a persons insides are almost identical to a pigs? For those reasons Darwin's theory doesn't make too much sense.

Also, if natural selection/evolving from apes, were to happen with humans, then us Canadians should be extremely hairy. Sometimes Canada can be up to -40, so if we had some of the same genes as an ape wouldn't seem logical that we should be growing more hair then the average person to help keep us warm?

Another point I thought of was our skin color. I don't believe there are Asian, African American, Romanian etc looking apes, that part doesn't even make sense! How is it possible for a person to get their ethnicity if we all evolved from the same animal.

Lastly, if you are an Asian, an African American, Spanish etc, and your family has lived in Canada for generations and generations don't you think eventually your skin color would be lighter then you mother or father (assuming that your parents are of the same ethnicity) ?

Those are all the points I thought of to try and disprove my boyfriends thinking. Even though the thought of humans coming from apes honestly does seem like it makes sense, these points make even more sense to me.

Feel free to leave comments and correct me if I am wrong, I don't know everything LOL. Plus I like good discussion's.
