What makes you think all phd and md holders believe in evolution? And who said they cant figure it out?

There is plenty of proof out there that proves a transition between lower primates and humans. But no matter how much proof is out there, a large amount of people refuse to accept it due to religious beliefs.
We have. Many times. It doesn't matter how many we find, people will always demand more before they consider it "proof". That is 100% due to religion.

Correct. That's what it is, ignorance.

If you believe in evolution then why are their monkeys? did they just choose not to evolve? did we start building huts and whipping our asses and talking and some of us just refused to adopt this and chose to stop evolving? God made people that is why we know it is wrong to live like monkeys.

It's called divergent evolution over millions of years.

not all people with a PHD or MD believe in evolution. the ones that dont either refuse to accept the facts, or they havent been shown the facts.
i think they could figure it out, if they got their heads out of their asses and/or holy books. both of which are problems
you have no reason to be talking down on evolution if you dont know this. youre obviously ignorant to the facts

As far as i know Lucy (or another really old skeleton) is pretty much the closest we have. Thats enough for me but i get what your saying. People will always need more proof. Hell go to the Zoo in my part of the world and look at the skulls of primates and humans over time and tell me you cant see it. I figured it out when i was like 10. My mom said that ''we didnt descend from monkeys because god made us in his image''. I told her that ''God sounded just like Santa Clause to me''. I didnt get presents that year lol. I challenge any creationist to read ''The Origin of Species'' and then read the Bible and tell me which one makes more sense. I love stoner chats about important issues. Much more thinkers..

good reply.. but remember their are OVER 20 Species of hominid*s/ that have been found on this planet, all similar to us. like neanderthal. was a hominid*damnit but due to the time it lived, it was slightly different.. needed to be bigger, stronger, tougher..thats 1 example and their are over 20! so Evolution is everywhere some just choose not to look. also that does not mean creationism is void either.. Man kind will if it hasnt already create some sort of artificial life.. doesnt make us god or able to bend our laws of physics. 
the truth is alot cooler than most can wrap their minds around, humans have been here a long time.

Closest to what? We have fossil evidence of steps both before and after that on the evolutionary chain. The steps before look more like chimps and the steps after look more like people.
The problem is that when it comes to science contradicting religion, there will always be a lot of people willing to deny the science. People refused to believe that the earth revolved around the sun for the same reasons. It took hundreds of years before people accepted that science.

What is it with atheists' and their fucked up logical thinking?
So you tell beardo not too talk down on evolution, yet you talk down on the Bible!
You really are ignorant! My discussion with you is over!

The bible's creationism theory is nothing more than an unproven myth. There is nothing to substantiate it. Evolution is proven by science. They are not equally valid competing scientific theories.

we tell him not to talk down on evolution because he doesnt even know what it is. we talk down on the bible because we know its a book written by tribesman

How has anyone "talked down" about the bible here?
What kind of progress are you hoping to make with your "screw you guys, I'm going home!" attitude?
If you can't stand the heat, gtfo of the kitchen bro. I find it kind of funny the religious are always the ones to cry about their beliefs being questioned. You question us, we come back with facts, not bitching and moaning about what we believe. We know what we believe, we know why we believe it, you don't, and that scares you.
Isn't that kind of the whole debate? If Evolution is fact , then that kind of makes all religions and gods false. Why is the great majority of the human species so spiritual if its all just a bunch of hooey? A Contradiction, the unanswered question none of us get to know until our day comes.

there is a difference between an atheist and an agnostic....look it up..and if you can't read or understand Hebrew you do realize that you are putting all your faith in a translation done in the King James early 1600 era...now go research King James...Now I do like Shakespeare but its still just stories...

no, religions change over time. they will just accept evolution as gods design. we are spiritual because our brains are wired that way. back in the day, we saw god in the stars and the earth, and it helped our society in many ways. one of them being better relationships amongst eachother, which led to sharing food and sacrificing for others in the group.

The bible it self was originally put together by the Roman empire. More specifically bureaucrats in the Constantine administration. They decided what should or shouldn't be included in the bible.
That's right christian conservatives, the book you worship is a product of big government. If it wasn't for big government it's likely your religion wouldn't even exist. When you believe in the bible, you're putting all your faith in the biggest government that ever existed. You're letting 4th century government bureaucrats tell you what you should believe.
If you really believe in the teachings of Ron Paul, you must reject the bible because it's nothing more than a tool the federal government used to control people. Audit the bible!

I do believe you can attribute religion to some good but you can also attribute it to alot of bad things that have happened and still happen to this day. Im not just saying christians here. Do you think the 9/11 bombers really believed they were doing right by their god? Of course they were!! If not they made a terrible job decision.. Crusades? Salem trials? Hitler(probably not but he claimed it was gods will), Even President Bush said ''9/11 was an attack on Christianity''. To say that if we all somehow found out that god doesnt exist would turn all of us back into primitive animals is ignorant. I dont rape or kill because my mind (chemical reactions & Evolution) tells me its wrong (learned moral trait) and not because god said ''thou shall not kill''. I dont steal because i dont want someone stealing from me and not because god said ''thou shall not steal''. If religion = ''The Golden Rule'' id be onboard but its not.
Our brains are meant to find meaning otherwise we would be bored. When religion was created we had no meaning for why a village was destroyed in a natural disaster or why a baby died at a young age. Now because of science we know about meteorology and diseases. We had no reason to why we love(chemical). So we said well there must be a god of ( ). Then leaders got tired of different religions fighting so they tried to unite everyone into 1 religion and monothiesim won out cause it is easier to serve one god than many and then they persecuted people who didnt ''believe''. Religion is a great business model.. Take Catholics.. Dont use birth control so you have many babies raised catholic and give your 10% every Sunday. You wonder why the Vatican is the wealthiest organization in the world? I pick on Catholics because they were the first major Christian denomination.
The way i look at it.. Do you!! If you want to believe in a higher power go for it but dont impose on other people with it but sadly the Bible tells believers to go out into the world and share the good news. Thats the difference in being agnostic(i dont really care) and athiest(anti-religion). Until the atrosities in the name of religion stop i will forever be athiest.
