Man does not come from monkeys, maybe Eugene, but not man in general


Today was an interesting day.
Two girls, one named Kay and another named "Whitney" had a discussion with me. This discussion turned out to be a gigantic debate on Darwin's thoery.
It all started like this, Whit and Kay were talking religion with me. After a bit of discussion, Kay asked me whether I believe in evolution (evolution as in man came from monkeys and apes). And I said no.
Wrong move. After a few minutes of Kay going "How can you not believe in evolution?!?!?!??! Darwin is a genius bla bla bla bla bla.....(I lost her there)" I said my view on evolution. Now, this is my view on evolution.

Guardian's view on evolution and Darwin's theory

It is true that animals changed to adapt to their environment, and human beings most probably changed in appearance and intelligence over millions of years. HOWEVER, man does not come from monkeys or apes or chimpanzees. God created animals and humans differently, humans did not evolve from animals.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, it might not say much, but that's what I believe.
And yes, I am a Christian.

Small phrase from the Horrible History book Evolve or Die :
"But let's get one thing straight. Whatever you might have heard, humans didn't evolve from chimpanzees, gorillas or PE teachers
