"Evolution makes me wonder that if we came from apes, then why are they still here? "

Sometimes when I read things like this at this site, I wonder how so many people with the IQ of apes manage to use a computer.

Perhaps if you took some time to learn a little about evolutionary theory, to study archeology, to try to understand the EVIDENCE and mechanisms of evolution, you wouldn't pose stupid questions like that one.

All the creationists out there could stand to do the same. Isn't it about time for you people to face reality and understand that the story of creation is a FABLE? I swear, sometimes you Bible-thumpers remind me a lot of Clintonites - "Don't confuse me with facts! What am I going to believe, my eyes, or some guy with a funny hat?"

That "fable" as you call it is rooted in the religion of Christianity. We have something called freedom of religion in this country. Defending that freedom is not a rant. It is a right....

I could say the same to you. There are a great many Christian PHD's who were evolutionists at one time and then had a look at the evidence and saw evolution as the theory it truly is. Have you eve looked at some of the creationist theories or is your one and only true god science? I am astounded by the lack of critical thinking on this issue. It seems suspend all critical thinking in favor of knee jerk responses. What are your biases for treating creation as a fable? You obviously have them or you would not believe so strongly about the issue. That's what I'm talking about, putting your biases on the table and looking at evidences as objectively as possible. From your response about the ape iq thing, I see that as merely an ad hominem which is truly a sign of a lack of maturity since you seem to respect no other opinion but your own.

You believe what you think and I'll believe what I think. PSB needs to stay out of it with THEIR OPINION!

You assume that all "Bible-thumpers" are dumb hicks who wouldn't take the time to investigate anything even if they had the intellect to do it. Such an assumption is just wrong and a cursory glance at the historic or current literature would reveal that fact. However, it is clear from your inflammatory and insulting remarks that you are more comfortable in your own formulated reality undisturbed by threatening cogent arguments.

If the evolutionists could disprove the Bible, they would do it in a minute. In frustration, they are left, like you, with ad hominem attacks and vitriolic rhetoric.

Facts?? I am an anthropology major and have taken almost 30 hours worth of archaeology classes and several hours of independant studies with profs, and I will tell you that not one of them could show proof, with all their big words, that evolution is a fact...Most don't even try. Some do...Can you prove that creation is a fable, or that evolution is more than a theory? thats what I though.....
