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).

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??

Of course they object! That's their job.
The trick is to get them to stay in one spot long enough to actually discuss the evidence in detail. They tend avoid doing that, because most of them don't know anything about the actual evidence that paleoanthropologists know; they only "know" what they are told by other creationists who themselves have no experience or training and do not read the professional literature.
