I Believe In Evolution

Well, sort of. I don't believe that man descended from monkeys. If that were so, why are there still monkeys around? They should have all died off and been replaced by man.
There are some definite forms of evolution, in which I must believe scientifically. One good example is the horse.
In the beginning, as it were, there was Eohippus, or the "dawn horse." Eohippus was about the size of a Lab Retriever. Then Eeohippus died out and evolved into Merychippus, a larger prototype of the horse. Then that species died out and was replaced by Pliohippus, who grew to the size of a pony. Finally Pliohippus developed into Equus, or the modern horse as we know it today. And so all we have left is Equus, all the others having died out. That is true evolution.
Okay, Homo Sapiens has some of the traits of apes and monkeys, but the point is that he never fully replaced them.

What do you mean by 'man', I wonder?
Was it a homo erectus who sinned 1.8 million years ago?
Perhaps it was a mere 600,000 years ago that Homo heidelbergensis offended a magical entity?
Of course, an identifiably 'modern' Homo sapiens may have been the culprit a mere 200,000 years ago.
(It's quite amusing to think that some creature shambling across the savannah a couple of hundred thousand years ago had a thought, and then immediately followed that with 'Uh, oh!' as the skies darkened).

I'm unsure what you mean by 'forms of evolution'.
Perhaps you could clarify that?
