          I don't believe we evolved from apes. Aliens did experiments and came up with us.

            evolution is to adapt to the surrounding environment not a complete change of species. who said we came from apes. man is the only specie to have the power of reason.

              apes can use deductive reasoning.....so can dogs and dolphins.

                The main problem with a belief in the theory evolution is that it insults the being that has the power to either resurrect you from the dead or to leave you in the grave. It is the ones that get resurected that will write the history books.

                  Apes and man evolved from the same source, the missing link as it were, they just went off in two different directions.............

                    Because we did not evolve from apes we evolved from frogs.

                      Ducks evolved from a species of walking fish with scales that evolved into feathers. Like most birds, my chickens have scaley legs.
