Neither. We evolved from an ape-like ancestor. So did Apes.
It's the creationists who think we were magically poofed into existence from dirt.

Rocks, and then apes, after a long interim of other things.
According to the Bible, man was made from the dust. Before there was life on this planet, the dust was from the rocks that had broken due to temperature extremes, rain, wind, etc.
"This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.
When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens- and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground, but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground- the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being."
That was Genesis 2:4-7. It does indeed leave out the process which was involved as life evolved from the dust, producing a kind of goo. Bubbling Goo. The next thing mentioned in the story of our creation says that God grew a Garden, which indicates that there could be some time in there for plant evolution, before animal evolution. "Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed."
You shouldn't get bent out of shape about God's method of forming things, because God's method of doing everything is natural.

First of all we r star dust or u can say rock dust secoundly we share 99% same DNA as apes so it is more relaiable to beleive that we have evolved from apes rather beleiving on old stories those were shaped with times..all religions are contradictive and each say only their is true one

You lost me at "evolutionists". There's no such thing as an evolutionist, there are only people who understand reality and those who don't.

no, we didn't. we share a common ancestor with apes, and we did not come from rocks.

They came from sophisticated rocks. While we creationists just came from regular dirt.

No. The world, and its origins, are not so easily explained.
