I don't think we came from the apes that are now currently living on Earth. I'm fairly confident we share a common ancestor, not all that long ago in cosmological time, that was probably some strange combination of traits of ape and human. I don't know what part, if any, God (or any other supernatural being) played in it, and it doesn't really bother me not knowing.

your question reminds me of a funny story
Once my father and I were watching a documentary called "Becoming Human." It showed how humans possibly evolved. My mother, a some-what strict religious, passed by the t-v room, so we invited her to watch. She scoffed, and said she that God created us, not monkeys. lol well me and my dad were like, whatever and watched it anyways, despite my moms commentary.
I don't know if i belived in the movie, it was just intresting. And i don't know if i belive in God, either! I just have too see to belive stuff, and how am i supposed to be sure if there really is a god, or if there isn't? But God is a nice idea. I'm just not sure if God exists.

Hey, Rusty,
You undoubtedly are an off-spring of a chimp to be asking this sort of a question, but let it comforting to you that God also created the apes and the monkeys, too.

Neither.
Humans EVOLVED from a common ancestor. Nobody who's actually studied evolution would say that humans directly came from monkeys...no evolutionist in their right mind would claim that a monkey birthed a human.
I don't believe in God, though. No, I'm not angry and no, nothing tragic has happened in my life. If I believed in a higher power, I'd probably have quite a lot to be thankful for. I was simply brought up in a household that encouraged free thinking--instead of brainwashing me from birth, my parents believed in letting me study religions on my own and choosing whatever I wanted to believe in. I think that's the best thing they could've done--I've learned a lot because of it and I grew up to be a respectable individual (so far :))
So...there's my opinion.

One does not preclude the other.
While the idea of an anthropomorphic God may offer comfort, it is also rather naive. If you talk about God, you are then talking about a being beyond our comprehension. You can not doubt this. We know our comprehension is limit. If you posit a God, then that being is unlimited. So our understanding is clearly insufficient to grasp it.
Why should God have to limit Himself to our models. It's not an either/or proposition.

The only people who think we came from apes appear to be the creationists.
People who understand the Theory of Evolution are much brighter than that.

I believe God caused the big bang to create the universe and used evolution to create life. (by the way, the Big Bang theory was first postulated by a Christian Monk!) God gave man intelligence to study his creation through science and faith to believe in him. God bless!

No intelligent person claims we came from apes because we ARE apes!
