Allow me to join Delta's admirable attempt to 'dumb things down' concerning evolution and address the single most common criticism I hear in these kinds of threads.

*clears throat*

Don't listen to creationists who thrive on misrepresenting the scientific perspective in an attempt to cloud the waters of debate. No one is claiming we evolved from apes - we evolved from a common ancestor!


Sorry, I had to get that out of my system, everytime I hear some yokel get uppity and proclaim "I didn't come from no monkey!" I just wanna puke.
