I am trying to explain to my kids where humans came from. I naturally don't believe that we evolved from some type of animal,Ape,Gorilla, whatever... But if I believe that we were always humans and not the by product of some evolutionary chart then what supports the theory that this suggests? The two first humans had to come from somewhere . Ah Yes God put them here ! So , you either believe this or what is it you believe? What tale do you tell your children? What is the truth? Where are we from?

But hey, why let the evidence get in the way of a good story?!

I just don't see it. For starters look at the human brain and how advanced it is in comparison to others. How we create, our sense of a soul on and on
Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I've never seen an oxygen molecule, but i'm pretty sure they exist.

Originally posted by big bernHumans, gorillas and chimpanzees evolved from a common ancestor, with the evolutionary path of the latter two diverging from humans between 8 and 4 million years ago. That common ancestor may have been either Nakalipithecus or Ouranopithecus. The evidence clearly supports evolution. You're simply going to have to modify your beliefs accordingly. If not for your own benefit, then for your children. You don't want them to grow up being intellectually stunted creationists. I know science is harder than just telling them that "God done it", but that's what responsible parenting is all about.

note to the opening poster. dude if you want a publication that discusses this, go here.
http://www.watchtower.org/e/publications/index.htm
you do not need to be in any way affiliated with jehovahs witnesses, for these books are designed for use by members of the public and are given fee of charge. we pay the expenses of shipping and printing. wish you all the best with your family!
the creator book is an excellent publication!although if you have really young children it is quite involved. there is another earlier publication termed. life how did it get here by evolution or creation, and is also quite involved, although one must respect that many of the scientific arguments need not be so, for again these are written for the layman, not a professor of biology!
wish you well my friend

Start at wikipedia. It's a manageable account of human evolution.

Originally posted by rwingettdont even go near there my friend, written by pro evolutionists, for evolutionists, there are no, and i repeat no counter arguments given! they have taken a theory built on flimsy premise and made out that its an established fact, no way! had they even been objective one could have given them the benefit, but no, they cannot do it!
