is it because they think we are too smart to be related to them? well not all huamsn are smart, in fact even now most of us are quite similar to apes.

connie, man made theory? what makes you think that the bible wasnt man made.
sorry i should dhave said we are related to apes, that is what i meant to say anyway.
no way, someone said apes dont have souls, tell me exactly what is a soul?
prove? well prove that god exists? evolutionists would say we evolved from tiny micro-organisms, it took millions of years. is it possible that all the sudern some sort of super intelegent being such as god came out of no where or that it all started from something very simple and small. we know that bacterias divide and adapt very quickly. guess what you guys, not only we are related to apes, we were bacterias a billion years ago. lol

some of you say that we were created in the image of god, is it possible that you mistaked yourself with someone else? lol

SUSAN what u are saying actually reinforces the idea of evolution. the reason we are different colours and stuff is because the weather is different in different parts of the world, so people have to adapt to thier invironment. the same reason to why we became so different to our ape cousin.

Because they want to feel special.

Well, not apes, but something not so far away from them.
I find the answers to this question hugely amusing... Not least because someone on here really believes in 'the animals went in two by two' because it's in the bible.
Laugh? I nearly wet meself!
Part of the problem is the resurgence of religion in the United States, primarily in the Mid West and Southern states. The Creationists are trying to bring the Creation myth into schools as fact. This is in spite of every little bit of evidence against it.
Go on, someone, explain dinosaur bones in your cozy little Creationist theory. That'll be interesting to read.
Hey, and if you live in the Mid West, remember this. God hates you. Why else would you get all those tornados?

Holy Moly, some scary answers come out of the woodwork when you ask this question, don't they?
Technically, one of them has a point - evolution theory doesn't say we were once apes, but that human beings and apes share a common ancestor. Seems like a small distinction, but helps to do away with the fatuous "because apes are still here and so are we" nonsense. The almost comical closeness of our DNA to some of the other higher primates - well hell, the ludicrous closeness of our DNA to the Earthworm - seems to underline the theory of evolution of complex forms from simpler ones, but when compared to the benefits of the "God Theory" - that there's a universal creator, and that we, for some reason, are special to that creator, common sense and logic doesn't offer as much in the way of a "reason for living" to those who need to have such things defined for them externally. It's the same as having a puddle not believe it has a common ancestor with a raincloud, but believe it was specially created in the hole that was uniquely designed for it. It's "easier" to think of that simple, grand solution in which you are important than to accept a complicated universe in which you really don't matter at all.

I'm sorry but I don't buy the "common anscestor" theory either. A split in the genetic code (or a mix, or a drop or whatever) means that massive amounts of information must be regained in order to function in the capacities we now see. Mathematically speaking, there isn't enough time to do that even with billions of years behind you - the odds are just too enormous.

Don't you just wish it were true : apes are family orientated look after their young. Like man they can be territorial but they have'nt tried to destroy the planet yet. As for belief in God, 90% of the world has a God of some kind or other, so each to his own.

They want to believe that mankind is special, they want to believe that God, did something special for mankind in creation and made mankind of today how he/she is as the story in Genesis; but with DNA, that story is proven false, and here's the answer. If Adam was the first human, and Eve was second of today's humans, then why is it that the male DNA 80,000 years younger than the female DNA of today's human beings; I guess it's either the story in the bible was wrong to begin with and that Eve was first, or the bible is just an old book with make believe fairytale stories. I list a source, (which there are many more) but it is up to you if you want to know more.
I guess Christians (in general) still have or need their security blanket when something goes against their beliefs in the fairytale stories of the bible.

automobile-evolution is the place the issue is ; beginning with automobile-genesis ; life performing spontaneously against all odds, and beating entropy ; then human beings descending from animals that don't have a soul ; the full difficulty is a fairy tale for gullible adults ; a undeniable form of evolution could be mentioned interior the order that God located in creation ; it quite is easy ; however the virulent unprovable theories that atheists are advertising are even much less convincing the main a techniques flung account of Genesis.

I have read through all the answers given before me and I find it utterly pathetic that there are so-called civilised humans living amongst us today who still accept the old kindergarten story about god and creation and adam and eve, even one who suggested that noah's ark was a true story. How silly can some adults remain?
OK, so the question assumed something that was incorrect, in that we are not a result of evolution from apes but that, as someone else stated, we and the apes have a common distant ancestor.
To all those who fell in line with the god thing, you are to be mocked and ridiculed for being just so out of touch with reality. 'Pathetic' doesn't even begin to describe it.

By the same token that humans find it hard to believe that our superiority through cognitive thinking and total control of this planet was not a gift of life from God, but from an evolutionary process of impossible odds through a flawed hypothesis of trial and error.

I think the better question would be why do so many humans find it so EASY to believe that all living things evolved from a common ancestor?
And the answer to that would be because it is a convenient excuse to take God out of the equation.

Because the ape still exist and if we evolved from this animal it would no longer exist. We may act like and ape when it comes to seeking God and not knowing our creator,but we are not from an ape, we are made in Gods image
