what does it mean spiritually that we evolved from apes?

Scientist are still trying to figure out if anything evolves, their not sure if it happens slow or fast. Basically they don't know anything about it.
It's all just theories at this point in time, but as long as they have had to figure it out and haven't I don't think they ever will.
I do believe in mutations, and that has been proved. That is a form of evolution, it's a form of genetic change in order to better adapt to ones environment.

You have to search the Hinduism and Buddhism on that aspect.
Hindu has the knowledge that explains about total evolutions from the smallest specie to human development and it relationship to the Creator. Buddhism covers the aspects of Human Spiritual development though different stages. Apes is just one of the stops.

Yes they have. Evolution was a 'theory' which has NEVER been proven!! The Bible says that the Heavens and the Earth and EVERYTHING on it (the Earth) was created by GOD. Did you know that Charles Darwin, before he died, denounced all his theories of evolution as 'impossible', and accepted Christ and creation?
We did NOT 'evolve' from Apes (or anything else). Therefore it has NO value spiritually.

Yes Hinduism have great scriptures which look into mysteries of Universes, life and death.
As per hinduism, a soul has to pass through 8.4 million different species to reach human
Hinduism believes the evolution is of mind which in turn re-adjusts the physical bodies
Mind evolution will continue till human race reaches Divine-human race

Evolution is not real just a disprovable theory. Scientists have their doubts about evolution but as one evolutionist,Richard Lewontin wrote; that many scientists are willing to accept scientific claims that are against common sense "because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism." Many scientists refuse even to consider the possibitiy of an intelegent Designer because, as Lewontin writes, "we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door."

No. No. NO!
They have not.
Evolution is the most spritual thing I have ever discovered. To realize that Mother Nature is truely our mother is awesome!

I asked an old minister once about evolution! He said that God said he did all these things, but, he didn't tell us how he did it!
Gods time is different than ours and I believe all tend to agree on this!

I think they've explained it to the satisfaction of their adherents. Our evolution from apes means that we're able to exercise more imagination, including ideas about spirits.

I think that both religious people and scientific people only look at one side of the story and neither even begin to consider the fact that both may be true. Spiritual beliefs may explain the "why" of creation and such and scientific beliefs may explain the "how" of our world.

eventually, there will be no one left who believes in the story of creation. of course, belief in god will probably still exist., so those people will have to come up with some excuse as to why they believe that we have souls but that chimpanzees don't, for example. they will have the burden of explaining which prehistoric hominid was the first one to have a soul, etc. --- frankly, i look forward to hearing what excuses they'll come up with.
