LOL! That's my thought. It seems like it'd be so much harder to accept when you realize your mortality. As for the topic, I believe in evolution, just not from monkeys or apes. I've stated why and nothing that has been said makes enough sense for me to see past it.

The best non-evolution explanation I've heard for man is this. God created the physical universe in the way that scientists claim. Big bang, gluons at 100ms time, etx. Eventually, God notices that one of his planets is pretty. It is mostly blue and brown, with fluffy white clouds. Kinda like a pretty little marble. He flicks his God finger, and some of those free floating protiens bond togethor, and form a bacteria. Well, God can get absorbed from time to time in his duties. So the next time he looks, his little marble is overrun with furry creatures trying to stay warm. Well, he feels kinda bad that he spent so long ignoring his marble, and he thinks it would be neat if he filled it up with self abosorbed, petty creatures, who would worship him. So he picks out a particulary healthy looking ape, one that kills antelope with a stick. He waves the God finger again, and all the hair falls off of Adam, he stands up straight, and a fig leaf magically appears. Adam does one hell of a job going forth and muliplying, and we close this story a couple chapters into Genesis. This representation might be a little satirical, but I've been heavily influenced by reading Adam's diary. Eve's was even more revealing. I would like to thank Mr. Clemens for making these articles available to the population at large, and I felt it was my duty to add the parts that Adam did not know, because he was a raving savage at the time.
