"Do you believe God literally reached down and removed a rib from Adam to make Eve?"

Yes. Do you believe we descended from apes?

OK - So by saying "yes" to that question you obviously have no further curiousity about the natural world. Genesis tells you all you need to know to live your life. That's fine, I guess, except you seem to want to limit the rest of us to that level of knowledge also. Does Genesis tell all scientists all they need to know about how the natural world works? Is it the one and only book needed for the study of biology, geology, botany and medicine? Has ~nothing~ of value been learned that was not known thousands of years ago in the middle east when Genesis was written?

Do you believe we descended from apes?

Modern apes? no... But you know that and you're bing deliberately obtuse. We did not descend from modern apes, but I believe we may have both come from a common ancestor that was similar, but not exactly like, that which we've become now.
