I believe in the big bang and evolution within walled categories, I'm also a Christian. Thought you'd enjoy these links 馃槉

@Patientlywaiting Humans are not from apes because humans [b][i]are[/i][/b] apes (one of the Great Apes which include orang utan, chimpanzee, gorilla, and bonobo).

'theistic evolution' isn't evolution.
Evolution isn't teleological.
Evolution has no end goal... there's no 'ideal' towards which it moves. There's no specific direction, so if it were 'directed', it wouldn't be evolution... it'd be development.
Evolution doesn't require an agent.
Evolution (which is change in the frequency and distribution of alleles) is a natural consequence of genetic replication... unavoidable. Nothing has to 'make it work'.
What creationists are trying to market as 'theistic evolution' is simply an unnecessary complication, isn't evolution, and is bandied about simply to avoid the contradiction they made for themselves.

Every organism that has ever lived has been (and is) subject to evolution. That has been so since life began.
There is no 'micro-evolution' and there is no 'macro-evolution. These terms are a distinction without a difference.
There's just evolution.

The term 'missing links' is used by those who think that one species turns into another species (the sort of thing found in creationist pamphlets). In fact, 3.5 billion years of evolution rests on common ancestry.
The chimpanzee-human last common ancestor, from which both chimpanzees and hominids diverged, lived around 7 million years ago (give or take a week). Among hominids, the [i]Homo[/i] genus emerged around 2 million years ago, and humans [i](Homo sapiens)[/i] last shared a common ancestor with other hominids around 300,000 years ago.

@newjaninev2 Yes, I studied evolution by Charles Darwin where he said thing like humans and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor rather than on from another. The term missing link, comes from the idea that monkey like humans had a common ancestor too, which is probably true too. But the idea that we came from monkeys is untrue. But thanks for your explanation on it all.

@espoir People came from fish.
