Giordano Bruno was probably the earliest to speculate on this.
Funny how "competing theories" were resolved in the Church.

Yeah. I've read (somewhere) that the church is either in agreement with evolution or at the very least not against it.
I myself believe that evolution is a given, but 'creation' is not explained by it.
Is man decendended from apes? Possibly.
I just don't find the plausibility of it because apes still exist.
Maybe I'm just missing the 'link'.
