    Your statement on God is correct. However, that hasn't kept many from making bold and declarative statements about it, including some in this forum.
    Someone wants to think the moon is made of green cheese, I'm cool. Not cool when some of those people sit on the Science Committees in the Congress.

    Well said.

    Please, you're talking about my ancestors.

    While you are correct that this particular example does not prove that humans have evolved from less complex organisms, there is a ton of evidence that does prove and trace our evolutionary heritage.

    Maybe we'll need it again later ?

    For more proof of evolution look at the plane the Wright Brothers flew over Kitty hawk and the ones we now see flying high over Baltimore.

    Certainly a workable analogy.
