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 They should have all died off and been replaced by man.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.

Janine, I would have to choose #2. A Deity--in His wisdom--can monkey with genes for practical reasons and, as the Bible says, make Man the masters of all other species and have dominion over them. Whether it be through a guy named Adam or a simple act of evolution is, I think, immaterial. And of course faith has some bearing on this.
