Personally I don't believe in evolution, however as wee davy correctly pointed out "We know a lot - but we never know it all".
I would like to add to that, if you'll excuse me wee davy, by saying....however, we will never understand more of a lot of things until our minds are "ready" to accept and cope with any understanding, now, tomorrow, or in the future.
Depending on your view of life, only a small percent of members will agree with that.
Anyway....
From what I've read....
Some evolutionists believe that man evolved from monkeys and apes.
Some evolutionists do not believe that man evolved from any ape that is now living.
Some evolutionists accept similarities between the fossilized bones of extinct apes and the bones of living men as proof of our ape ancestry.
Some evolutionists believe that man is nothing more than a highly intelligent animal.
Some evolutionists say we are far more distantly related to our insect relatives.

The sad part in the diffference in religions is the concern over the mechanics rather than the message.
I've heard that said before RonD, but I haven't, as yet, read or heard of anyone going a bit further and explaining why they came to that conclusion. Is it religious people or non-religious people who say it?

I think the sad part is not their differences but their similarities- they all want to control the minds and lives of people.
They
all want to control your mind!!!! Who are "they" bilbo.s, and why do you say that.
I'm deadly serious, I do really want to understand, and not for reasons of an argument.
