Darwin was a stupiest man on the face of earth....when he was writing his theory he was not in his senses.

Firstly, there's no such thing as an "evolutionist" in this context. Evolutionism is a form of Marxism/Communism and is frowned upon by most society. Needless to say, I am not an evolutionist.
Anyway, to answer your question, no they were not. My ancestors going back 30 million years were probably more primative/ape-like in appearance but 150 generations is no where near long enough for evolutionary changes to occur.
Besides, mankind does have the capacity for evolution, we don't live in a survival of the fit/fittest society so those that develop genetic improvements don't prosper based purely on that fact.

No. As an evolutionist I would never argue that.
However, I would be perfectly happy to argue that a modern gorilla and I have a great, great x 150 uncle (neither homo sapiens nor gorilla gorilla) in common.
PS Isn't it cool that the Latin name for a gorilla is Gorilla Gorilla?

There's no such thing as 'evolutionist'. It's not a religion; many people are capable of understanding it, and not just atheists. Even a pope or two has been known to show understanding of it.
Are you a 'gravitationist'?
And no, not a gorilla. Where do you get this crap? It's almost like somebody's teaching a fake version of evolution on purpose. And we're certainly not talking about 150 generations - that's such a recent time it falls under your old testament!
Maybe this would be a good starting point for you:

No
Humans did not evolve from Gorillas humans and gorillas shared only a common ancestor. An austrapithecus and a Homo erectus were my ancestors.
But gorillas and chimpanzees are our cousins

you should know that there were no gorillas back then when my ape ancestors were... and my great grandparents were probably english farmers too or dont you know how to count? 150 generations is not enough to be that far.... if the bible is true, adam and eve could be 10000+ generations away...
tsk tsk
maybe a hundred thousand generations ago, adam could be a grandparent but i dont believe in him so there.

the theory of evolution has never stated that humans evolved from gorillas. we evolved from the same common ancestor, not from gorillas directly.

No. Evolution does NOT say that humns descended from apes or gorillas. Obviously, it NEEDS to be taught in schools, considering how ignorant people are about it.

No you've got it wrong, gorilla's and humans are both descended from a common ancestor.

no, humans did not descend from Gorillas you simpleton.
But I bet you still have that wide jawbone and difficulty entertaining logical thought processes.
