tomwillrep The error you make in your post is when you mentioned that the arguement is that we descended from apes as opposed to chimps.The theory of evolution states that we descended not from apes or chimps but from an ancestor common to both.The evidence is what drives the theory and as new evidence comes in details can change. This is what makes science special and powerful.Science thrives not on certainty but on doubt and this is the reason it makes progress.
How about for once you get facts straight and try,instead of attacking evolution,to put together a working (i.e. explains the evidence) theory as to how creation worked to generate biological life. First though take the Bible and through it away and without reference to it or to evolutionary theory explain how people get sick and try to make predictions about how life came about that can be verified by experiment.
P.S. Document your work and give it to the scientific community and see how well it does.
