We didn't "come from chimps"

Science has proven that humans, and apes, evolved from a common ape-like ancestor millions of years ago.

Homo erectus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_erectus) was believed to be the bridge between homo habilus and homo sapiens, which was true, but that still didn't prove men came from ape ancestors.

However, Australopithecus Africanus is believed to be the earliest link between humans (homo) and apes (hominini)

Evolution and creationism shouldn't be an argument topic, they're saying the same thing but in different ways. At this point, we've pretty much proven that all life evolved from single-celled organisms, (Which in theory, arrived from asteroids) and that god didn't poof down the millions of animal species. People like to think of themselves as "Superior beings" to the animals, so they get butthurt when they hear about evolution being correct in many ways, but humans are indeed animals, our hyper-intelligence is the only thing seperating us from the other mammals.

If you want to get all conspiracy theory with me for a second (ancient aliens type conspiracy-ish) then listen to this:

Perhaps god didn't poof everything down in 7 days, and there's no explanation that we went from still figuring out basic tools as homo erectus and habilus to gaining such intelligence in a only a few hundred thousand to a million years later, perhaps god (or even aliens) genetically engineered us to progress faster intellectually. It would certainly explain the sudden surge of intelligence (And of course, you may argue "zomgz well uh, we were meant to evolve this way so there is no god blshg" but the process for us to evolve so quickly mentally, would take a lot more time then it did, which definitely hints at gene manipulation of some sort, you can't deny that.

Then there's the sumarian tablets, people say that the sumerian tablets are a longer, more detailed version of the bible (Which is most likely true, due to the striking similarities) but the sumarians say, that the extra-terrestrial annunaki, lived a lifespan of several hundred thousand years.

So if god created the world in 7 days, perhaps it was 7 days annunaki time-wise, and not earth-days.

These are just trippy alien theories, though.

My point is, evolution and creationism argue the same thing, but creationism could be metaphorically speaking (Conspiracy thoery in 3.. 2.. 1.. the garden of eden was a testing site, where patients adam and eve were genetically enhanced from the local population of homo erectus and habilus)

Even if my alien conspiracy stuff is wrong (Which it could be) evolution has proven many things, you can't argue and say "Uh, no, god made me in his image, and I didn't evolve from some smelly monkey!" Because you did. But evolution being right doesn't disprove creationism, either. The big bang could very well be god creating the universe, there's no definite proof of it.

tl;dr = evolution is mostly correct, but that doesn't mean god isn't real.

Edit: Ooh, metaphor time!

Let's say there's the common housecat, and one day, the house cat evolves into 2 seperate species, one of them is genetically engineered (Or divinely engineered) to be hyper-intelligent, while the other remains animalistic. Then the furry cat people would say "Uh, no, I didn't evolve from a stupid cat, catgod made me in his image etc"

The same exact concept applies. Think about it.
