Man and Apes had a common ancestor - Darwin did not say we came from them. We had a common ancestor and Humans went one way and Apes went the other. I would rather it be the way it happened. Which ever way it was.

Actually Julia allergies are not inherited from your parents or ancestors. My wife has many allergies and I am allergic to some things as well but neither of our children were born with any allergies at all.
It may be that allergies are a side-effect of being exposed to certain virus or bacteria. When we get sick we get rashes or fevers or inflammations or we get runny noses and cough as part of the body's way of getting rid of the disease -The allergic reaction to things that are basically harmless foods is a case where the body's immune system is not working right and so it produces histamines to counteract an "invasion" by particles of food which have been absorbed into our digestive system (or in the case of pollen and dust - through our respiratory system) these particles are not really a disease but when we have an allergy our body reacts the same way - as though we are fighting an infection... In fact it is just that our immune system detects a molecule which is enough like one that was part of a disease organism we have encountered before, and because our immune systems' detects it incorrectly as being the same as the one that cause the disease it triggers the histamine response.
So this problem really has nothing to do with either evolution or religion...

Allergies and other genetic problems (deafness, colorblindness, hemophilia, albinism, autism) in a single individual have not bearing on the origins of the entire species. Some people are born deaf ... but that doesn't mean that our primate ancestors were deaf.
Put it another way Julia:
As a woman, how can you prefer the story that women were formed as an afterthought from a throwaway rib from a man's side ... rather than the idea that women evolved side-by-side with men as a result of a long, long act of creation (evolution).
Or think of it yet another way.
If women were created as an afterthought from men, then what is the purpose that God had in putting nipples on men?

So because the monkey wasn't allergic evolution isn't right? Truly you have a dizzying intellect!
The monkey didn't have an opposable thumb either, so I guess you must have been evolved from... some kind of wierd alien race that came down to earth to put opposable thumbs on humans.
Besides which, allergies are not to things like bananas and meat, they are to microscopic bacteria etc that exist on those things, and chances are the monkey was just as allergic to those bacteria as you are!

Hmmm. Seeing as a monkey is a living creature I would choose a monkey.
Though as evolution states we did not evolve from monkeys. Monkeys and humans evolved from a common ancestor. Who knows if these ancestors ate bananas or meat?
As for evolution and allergies check out the article in the source.

Your question is ridiculous, or rather your reasoning is. If you were a monkey you wouldn't be allergic to bananas, just because you are allergic to any kind of meat doesn't mean creation is wrong. You don't have to eat meat to sustain life, there are other ways to get protein. Look at vegetarians, they don't eat meat.

The question isn't which you would rather be evolved from, it is what is true.
There is a wealth of scientific evidence in favor of evolution. This isn't a question of choosing a favorite team, and rooting for it. You need to evaluate the evidence, and try to come to the best understanding you can of what is true.

We are not evolved from monkeys, nor are we evolved from a rib. Human beings evolved, but we evolved from earlier forms of human beings.
The Creation story is not literal.
As for apes, humans and apes share a common ancestor, but humans did not come from apes.

A rib because that means I was made by almighty God for a purpose instead of just dying and nothing happening.
