His statement didn't go nearly far enough and he stressed the wrong point! The real message in Genesis is that we didn't evolve from apes. The message is that God created man special.
I'm not sure how/if evolution happened. But I do know that man did not come from evolution. Man is a special created being.
One of the main problems in the world today is that kids are being taught that they are nothing more than educated animals. So they act like it. Big surprise.
So, which of these chimp-like behaviors have you heard of children engaging in lately that you're worried about:
o Eating termites with a stick
o Hunting down small neighborhood animals in packs & eating them raw
o Going out in public naked
o Knuckle-walking
o Physically fighting with each other
o Having sex without first declaring an oath of monogamy
o Picking lice out of their friend's hair
