From a religious standpoint you have to accept that God put evolution in motion...
Rejecting evolution on any basis, especially religious, is just blind ignorance and serves absolutely no purpose.

Evolution proves the existence of God.
BUT was it evolution or newer versions?

If you can not reconcile your faith with science, your faith is pretty damn weak. People can manipulate scripture to mean a thousand things other than the literal translations, but the moment it's suggested that the whole creation process takes longer than 7 days people lose their shit. It's hilarious.

There have never been fossils found that draws any direct lineage between humans and apes. They are proven distinctly human or distinctly ape in every case, only a hypothesis has been formed by science suggesting they are linked. They are drawing assumptions with the facts they know wich is no better than a creationists leap of faith.
Please proceed to define criteria which are sufficient to fulfill your definition of a direct lineage between humans and apes. And while you're at it give us your definition of apes. Please something other than "all apes that aren't humans".

I dont think anyone in this thread is dismissing evolution. The differential is humans, however, as creationists believe mankind was begotten and not made like the rest of the animal kingdom. We are distinctly different, yet bound by the same laws of nature as all other carbon based life of the earth.

Well that's incredibly dumb. What do you think separates us from other animals?
If God literally created us whole as is 6k years ago, why would he? Why not just sit back and let evolution do what it was doing? It was clearly working, evolution had produced us, and then what, God destroyed that and started over from scratch whole cloth? Also what did God do with the primates that were destined to evolve into us? Did he just wtfpwn them 6k years ago? Why would he do that to them after they made such great progress what with the stone age and agriculture and everything else...
You are basically saying flight 93 landed, the passengers were let off the plane and then the plane took off again and then was shot down and blah blah blah blah blah

Humans in many ways are very similar to other animals but in other ways humans are a quantum leap above them in many ways. There is nothing close to human on this planet.
You might find animals which are smart as humans possibly like whales but they arent tool users. The combination which is humanity is amazing and nearly a miracle.
