Apes vs. Man What are your thoughts??

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??

Thanks For the info, a am going to have to research that tonight...

My Views on the the bible are kind of scattered right now. I believe that Jesus died for our sins, so basically the new testement I believe to be accurate. I just can't bring myself to believe in the old testement, mainly Genesis, there are too many loopholes and evidence against it. So in a nutshell I'm not sure where I stand with the Bible. And you??

Punisher:That is my problem right now, I'm not sure if Jesus was misquoted or if he was just not right. Who was actually around to document the account of Genesis? That is my main problem.... Have you ever played the telephone game? What happens for about 10 to 20 generations? The story tends to get messed up. So what am I to believe? Modern Science has a lot to offer in the way of explaination and the Bible which is over 2000 years old isn't doing a very good job of explaining the way the world works. So as a person who is very evidence-based I guess the bible doesn't offer a very good case; scientifically that is.... They are a great bunch of stories about humanity and the great love and hate we are capable of but there are no cold hard facts.

I think that would be an interesting experiment to conduct. Then of course you would have to deal with the repercussions if the two species could interbreed. Would they produce a fertile or a sterile offspring?? And if it were fertile then would it be a sub-species of human or Ape?? Just thinking out loud, but interesting none the less
