Many many Christians are evolutionists, although I'm not sure what you mean by "both" happening. Both what?
The fact that humans and modern African apes have evolved from a common ape-like ancestor is as definite a fact as it is possible to get in science (it is certainly way more than a "suggestion"!). There really is no doubt about it. There are disagreements about the details, such as specifically what paths and mechanisms this evolution took, but *that* humans have evolved simply is not a question any more (it hasn't been one for decades).

As a anthropology student, and a christian I have a torn belief about creation and evolution. Could both have happened? Well the topic that I would like to get going is with Chimps and Gorillas being as close as they are genically to humans wouldn't it suggest that humans have evolved from apes?? I'm not saying that why evolved from modern apes but somewhere in the distant past humans branched off and here we are today. What are your thoughts??
