Debating Human Origins: Science versus Divine Creation

The answer to your question is ambiguous and depends on a person's worldview. On one hand, some evolutionary arguments rely on the similarity in the structure of monkey and human limbs, which suggests that monkey-like ancestors can be viewed as part of the evolutionary process. As noted:

"One can 'derive' the origin of man not only from the monkey, but, say, from a dog or from a dolphin.

Listeners: Monkeys have well-developed hands and can do many things with them; their movements are very similar to ours, isn’t this evidence in favor of our descent from monkeys?

In addition, they use instruments with their hands. Lecturer: Indeed, for example, chimpanzees use external objects (such as sticks) as tools... This is worth discussing in detail since it is connected to one of the major 'mistakes' in twentieth-century psychology and biology. But first, we must examine, in the most thorough though brief manner, what we know about man from Divine Revelation and from the Sacred Tradition of the Orthodox Church."

However, in the religious context it is emphasized that true faith is based on the conviction that man was created by a special creative act of God and is not the result of a prolonged evolutionary process. For example, it is stated expressively:

"Whatever foolish notions the atheistic brain has devised by denying the God-revealed teaching concerning God's creation of the immortal man—who could have had no predecessors. And only after the Fall did Adam become mortal, a perishable man. For further conviction, some even mix a group of ancient deformed pygmies (Sinanthropes) found in China, with a significantly reduced brain volume, with these 'predecessors'... Our faith is different – the faith that man was created by a special creative act."

There is also an opinion among scientific circles that, from an anthropological perspective, it is impossible to prove the origin of man from a monkey-like ancestor because there is no observed gradual replacement of animal remains by remains increasingly closer to those of man in geological deposits. This opinion is reflected in the following statement:

"Renowned anthropologist M. M. Gerasimova, in answering our questions, noted that the origin of man from animals will never be scientifically proven, since to do so it is necessary to observe how animal remains in geological deposits in at least a small region gradually and massively are replaced by remains of forms ever closer to man; yet in the habitats of ancient humans everything has already been completely excavated. In this regard, M. M. Gerasimova clarified that none of the authoritative anthropologists consider the origin of man from a monkey-like ancestor to be proven."

Additionally, Professor Slezin’s view emphasizes that teaching young people that man evolved from a monkey may negatively impact their spiritual development:

"Our faith is different – the faith that man was created by a special creative act. Slezin asserts that schoolchildren should not be told, from the heights of scientific authority, that man evolved from a monkey. In young people, whose personalities are still forming, the search for truth, the meaning of life, and youthful maximalism... the notion of originating from a monkey! According to Professor Slezin, studying Darwinism in school according to modern textbooks leads to a deformation of the psychological and intellectual development of our children."

Thus, while scientific arguments may point to certain morphological similarities between monkeys and humans, the foundation of religious faith lies in the concept of a divine creative act that emphasizes the uniqueness of man. For many believers, these positions are fundamentally incompatible, as the scientific theory of evolution and the idea of man's origin from monkeys contradict the notion of man being created by God.

Thus, reconciling belief in God with the theory of evolution and the idea of man’s origin from monkeys remains a controversial issue where scientific approaches and religious teachings offer fundamentally different answers.
