I think not, personally.

What I really think is that the most "dignified" thing in the known Universe is Man, the wonder of the world. No need for god, soul, afterlife or any form of magic.

Well, if you consider us to be of apes, how dignified does that make you feel?

Well, in one sense it does serve to deflate massive egos by showing that humankind is really nothing special in the grand sweep of the Universe. I picture religious fundamentalists as peacocks, preening and showing off, strutting about as if they were the most magnificent things, when in reality they're but a pack of birdbrains. Pretty as they are, peafowl are like all other birds - so stupid that they foul their own drinking water.
Once people who're over-impressed with themselves get a real sobering picture of themselves, and accept that as reality, they have a golden opportunity to get over it and begin contributing in a meaningful and equitable way to the betterment of all humankind and not just those folks who look, dress and sound like them.
Goodness, that's a long sentence, huh? I need another root beer!

How does a scientific theory hold any opinions. That's patently absurd. I'm sure that's what a Christian would say. It's just indicative of the ways that theists try and vilify science.

Evolution concludes that man is just another animal, does not take into consideration soul and spirituality. BEsides, God tells us the truth. He did not cause things to evolve, and the Earth is only about six thousand years old.

nope, it proves that we are the most intellectually superior creature that has ever lived....sounds dignified to me. Evolution is a fact, it is taught at thousands of universities, schools, and dozens of evolution theorists have won Nobel prizes.....not one university teaches classes on creationism and not one single scientist has ever won a Nobel award for their work in creationism, NOT ONE.

No, it makes the formation of man more astounding considering it had to create itself through trial and error instead of a big guy saying let there be light. I think it give us far more dignity!

Yes. Anyone who's looked closely at the so-called evidences of Evolution ought to be able to see that it takes more faith to believe in evolution than to believe in one God (our creator). Evolution does not make sense and it does make mankind look like a bunch of undignified, bone-heads---for lack of a better term. I know I won't score points for this one, but it's my true belief.

1) evolution does not state that we 'come from monkeys'.
2) Many (I would even say most) Christians agree with evolution.

I would not say undignified. Though it gives you another sense of how insignificant you are, which is good in a way. Many of us overestimate our significance.

Scientists may formulate some theories which are more advanced than Evolution, because everything evolves.
