"You haven't found actual proof of a man evolving from an ape"

What about in the show the detail about our chromosome #2 having been fused from two other chromosomes? The finding of large genetic sequences consistent with a telomere in the center of the chromosme, and of two centromeres? (instead of one in the center) This demonstrates and explains why other great apes have 24 pairs of chromosomes and we only have 23 pair. I found that fascinating and compelling proof. What other "proof" would you like to see? (I'm serious... That's not a rhetorical question)

It's never made sense to me why it isn't acceptable that evolution IS God's mechanism of creation? Isn't God a physicist? Cell biologist? Chemist? And more? Grasping the beauty and complexity of the natrual world is humbling and DEEPLY spiritually moving.

Who are we to limit God by insisting that everything was placed here all at once, just as it is? God created an ever changing world, and beings able to change with it. What a creative creator! And the mechanism is evolution. What is the problem with that?... except that it contains apparent conflicts with The Book.

Man created the Bible, God created the world. I know which I trust.

Lastly: Be honest: Who can look at a chimp and NOT recognize ourselves? Come on. It's impossible NOT to recognize how much we are alike. My mother-in-law even looks like her DOG! (I say that lovingly...she does. As do many other folks!) Saying we are NOT related to other apes is more fantastical than saying we came from them (or from a common ancestor, as it were.)

Why the division and the rift? What did Jesus say? LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

In peace.
