I wonder what would happen if...

Have you watched Escape to Chimp Eden on Animal Planet? It's really an incredible show, and I'll admit that when I watch it, I can't help but remark on how similar to humans they are. Even when they walk upright they resemble people.

Keep in mind that though we have similar numbers of chromosomes, those chromosomes aren't necessarily the same.

I watch animal planet a lot, but I haven't watched that one. I just don't totally believe we came from apes. It's possible, but that's why I was asking the tour guide lady a ton of questions, that she obviously couldn't answer.

True, but neither are horses and donkies.

I didn't say we did. You said we didn't. So I'll ask you again...how do you know that?

I wasn't talking about Darwin, but since we're on the subject, how do you know Darwin's theory was a lie?

Darwin's theory may not have been a lie. Of course evolution is a theory, but not in the way naysayers mean. Usually they mean it's an idea, or a guess. What Darwin said about evolution is not only a theory, it also can be a fact. Do I agree with his theory? Somewhat, but not really. I do believe the key in understanding evolution is to recognize how it could be both. I say this because if it's looked at as a fact, then evolution is simply genetic changes occuring through time in a group of individuals. Basically a population, a species, and so on. These changes occur because we can see the changes, measure them and in many instances figure out when they happened. As a theory, it seeks to explain what's responsible for the evolutionary process, in other words, what causes these changes.

And, of course, he was the only person to ever look into the matter.

Do you belong to the Flat Earth Society too?

Just FYI, most scientists and theologians believe the Earth as it is today is a product of, in part, evolution. Theologians also believe in creation, but pretty much everyone who studies these things believe that evolution and natural selection has impacted who/what is on Earth today.
