Please humor me.
Doesn't the evolutionary tree include primates as our distant relatives? So, I believe that that makes the "Descending from a chimp" comment valid. I have read articles and seen diagrams by evolutionists purporting the very thing you seem to be upset about.

No, a chimp is particular type of primate. Likewise, humans are a particular type of primate. Both humans and chimps descended from earier primates. But humans did not descend from chimps.

Now that I've cleared that up. Any attempt by a creationist reading this, and then continuing to accuse the theory of the evolution of stating that humans descended from chimps, is a liar.

The tree also includes clams, cockroaches, and liver flukes as our distant relatives, but we are not descended from any of those, any more than I am descended from my third cousin. We do have a common ancestor.

Noting again that descent != related, produce 'em. Give me pointers to such articles. And I am not upset, just pointing out what I believe to be error.
