I still believe that Darwin had it all wrong. I think that the apes came from humans.

Well I need help. Ape-like is very vague and would not rule out that they were a unique human species so in that case no.
Now then there is no verifiable evidence of humans ever being less then human i.e. the missing link is still missing so the Theory including the link is flawed/unproven.
Now then since the Biblical account of creation was not a first hand record but a dictated and verbally told story for thousands of years before ever being written and has the primary purposes of lineage connection and moral behavior lessons, I do not find a conflict in evolutional changing and the creation story. In fact Psalm 139 lets us know that God knit us together (modern terms ordered our DNA and genes). This would allows/account for adaptive changes to assure survival in various environments including adaptations for changes as knowledge of easier and more efficient methods of food, shelter and clothing came about.

It could make "theories" about what Genesis means irrelevant. But if Genesis is not taken as actual history, then no, I think they could be congruent.
One could argue that when God originally created man he was a spirit, and then only entered flesh after the apes evolved enough to have an ego with a conscience that separated good from evil. Then the spirit of God entered into flesh, hence the physical man. But God (Christ) is still unaware (asleep) in most men.
Animals think differently than we do. Our pride, egos, consciences, clothing, etc. is much more advanced than animals. We (original spirit men) have "eaten" of the tree of knowledge of good and evil (entered the "apes"). It must be our destiny though to evolve into something even closer to God, which means we awake in Christ.

There no proof of evolution. An infinite being can only create finite beings The fossil record does not support long ages, because there are no evidence of transitional fossils (a fossil between one species and another). Evolutionists have admitted this many times. Light can be separated from darkness just as a shadow is separate from the light source. Genesis describes a geocentric universe, not heliocentric, and science has not disprove a geocentric universe. And if science can't disprove any of this, then your beliefs are all based on faith -- the same faith you ridicule in religion.
We are drawn to Christianity because of all the world's religions, Christianity is the only one in which its founder claimed to have risen from the dead. We have eyewitness testimony to his resurrected person in the Gospels, and the Early Fathers. Unless someone can disprove that, the evidence is in our favor.

God's creation has made the theories of evolution totally irrelevant.

Plenty of evidence AGAINST EVOLUTION:.
First, the 'Cambrian explosion'; the millions of fossil types in Cambrian rock (oldest fossil bearing rocks) appear suddenly and fully formed and without any previous forms...IOW, there are no transitional forms.
Most well educated evolutionists when forced to ...will admit it, but very unwillingly, and even then they always want to seem to make new excuses for it. Usually they just don't say anything about it and hope noone finds out.

not really. perhaps the first man looked like and ape and then evolved slowly into what we see today. evolution itself may be part of gods creations.

Logically yes. People have a history of making the wrong decisions in lieu of rationality. This explains Nazi's and Scientologists among the other people that put on blinders in the face of logic.

No. It just makes some stories of Creation meaningless in literal reading.

Evolution does not disprove the concept of God, it instead undermines the idea that God directly made mankind.
