Consider the Gorrila, the Chimpanzee and the Gibbon. Three primates.
​
Gorrilas are primarily ground dwellers, Gibbons are primarily arboreal, while Chimpanzees spend significant amounts of time in trees and significant amounts of time on the ground.
​
The hominids did not suddenly evolve from tree-dwelling apes, they evolved from apes which, like chimps, already spent a significant amount of their time on the ground. So it was not a matter of developing for a terrestrial lifestyle while swinging around in trees, but a matter of developing a terrestrial lifestyle further.

If your God believes that murdering 3 million Jews isn't measurably worse than stealing a loaf of bread to feed a starving child, then your God cannot be a moral entity by any standard.
​
Actually, according the Bible, it's worse that that. Dissing the Holy Spirit is measurably worse than killing 3 million Jews (except wasn't it six? And, technically, it wasn't murder - it was war crimes).
