Pink unicorns, RAZD? We're getting dangerously close to the flying spaghetti monster here

Jeanie, yes I think I misunderstood your earlier post in part. And yes, you are right that there is less evidence currently for the theory of abiogenesis, so your videos were representing that accurately from the sound of it.

Apes-to-humans, however, is different from abiogenesis. We have evidence from the fossil record which has been dated in a variety of ways. There are all those intermediate hominids such as australopithecines, which show gradual changes over time, becoming more human-like -- not just in facial appearance but in many aspects of bone structure, and in tool kits found with them. There is also the genetic evidence that Russ2 has been discussing about number of alleles, and how this points to humans having been around longer than a few thousand years and coming from a larger genetic pool than two individuals; and there's mitochondrial Eve. I'm sure not all of this is taught in science classes but the person who says "I don't think we evolved from apes" would need to explain how these bodies of evidence fit with their statement.
