whoever made that arguement that all chimps would have evolved is a moron who dont know how evolution works.

Heres a quick summary:
One chimp has an abnormal, higher functioning brain, and he happens to be more successful at surviving than other chimps. He sucessfully mates, and the next generation retains the "abnormal" genes. Over time, a distinct species forms. Sometimes, the old species dissappears, but not always.

This is a VERY simplified, not 100% accurate summary. But the key point is that its NOT some "force" that causes the entire species to change at once--its "mutations" that occur within perhaps a single individual in each generation, and slowly successful traits become dominant.

Not that I know whether its chimps we supposedly evolved from....



as for the religious part, whos to say our "creation" by God was not actually an evolution process--a "day" for him is who knows how long. (I dare you--call this spam :biggrin: )
