Religious nut? I am an atheist, mind you. Evolution is not a religion, it is scientific fact (keep in mind that in science the word "theory" just means a set of facts used to explain a phenomenon). Why do you doubt that man evolved from apes? Have you studied evolution? Have you looked at the fossil record and the distribution of primate fossils in Africa? I think if you seriously studied this stuff you would come to the same conclusion that I did. Please, go to a library and read a couple books about the overwhelming body of evidence in the fossil record and in our genes. It takes a certain amount of scientific knowledge to understand it, but there is basically no doubt that all the available evidence points to the evolution of man from the great ape family of primates. Don't just speculate—study.
