FWIW, according to current evolutionary theory, we didn't descend from apes. Both we and the apes descended from some common ancestor. Not to nitpick, but we are for all practical purposes, Old World apes. It shows up most nicely in the chromosomal numbers, Old World apes have 24 pairs, we have 23 pairs which we know to be the result of a fusion event in our lineage. If one next looks at viral relics in the genome, there is no wiggle room left for anything but common descent with Old World apes. Nice point on the literal Biblical view and the resulting VERY high evolutionary rate. If one believes in a literal 6000 year old earth and common descent from Adam & Eve, then you are a very strong proponent of evolution & natural selection. LOL!
