Most of those who belive in Darwin's theory of evolution believe that man evolved from apes.
BTW, if we evolved from apes, why are there still apes around? Usually the winner of the evolutionary prize knocks out the competition.
Anyway, point me to those people who believe in evolution AND we evolved from apes.

This video was referred to me by FabianFnas in the thread "Problems with Evolution" to prove evolution to me I guess.

"The mainstream view is that humans evolved from the same group as African great apes: chimps, bonobos, and gorillas."
Orangutans May Be Closest Human Relatives, Not Chimps
By James Owen
for National Geographic News, June 23, 2009
This is according to John Grehan, of the Buffalo Museum of Science in New York State, and Jeffrey Schwartz, of the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.

It looks like they are just guessing to me.
"While the orangutan lineage was evolving in Asia, the primates that led to the modern day African great apes and humans were still in Africa."

Our origins go WAY back before gorilla's, we both had common ancestors like 5 to 10 million years ago, of course you are free to poo poo the dates but they stand the test of time, nobody but YEC's doubt it and you in particular have nothing to base your stance on but the stories of other people who also have an agenda to destroy, not find the truth.

That is NOT saying that we evolved from chimps!!!
Current primates were not around 8 million years ago!

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he is actually an atheist just having fun at our expense.
I doubt it but it could happen.
You do realize we ARE feeding the troll here?

Originally posted by sonhouseNo, I actually believe it is the symptoms of his diagnosis that is showing. I don't think he understands anything about evolution. He doesn't read anything that goes against his opinions. The only article he reads are from those creationist sources that agrees with his delusional beliefs.

I don't know much about psychiatry, but I would guess it is some dementia. It fits very well with other signs that he shows.
