All I want to know is, was I created as intelligent as I am today or did I evolve from an ape?
You were born, more ignorant than you are today, about as intelligent as you will ever be. But that is just you. Humans evolved from something that had not yet evolved into Apes, and we are still Apes today.
If I can get an answer to that question I will know who to give thanks,God or mother earth.
You can still give thanks to GOD, unless of course you created some little limited God. The two issues are totally unrelated. Evolution is nothing but "How God Dun it". In the words of the Clergy Project letter, signed by over 11,000 US Christian Clergy:
quote:
We believe that the theory of evolution is a foundational scientific truth, one that has stood up to rigorous scrutiny and upon which much of human knowledge and achievement rests. To reject this truth or to treat it as “one theory among others” is to deliberately embrace scientific ignorance and transmit such ignorance to our children. We believe that among God’s good gifts are human minds capable of critical thought and that the failure to fully employ this gift is a rejection of the will of our Creator. To argue that God’s loving plan of salvation for humanity precludes the full employment of the God-given faculty of reason is to attempt to limit God, an act of hubris.
