If we can get one prominent dim to say he’s not an ape, then he loses the lib crowd. Worth the asking, IMHO.

Sorry, that doesn't make any sense at all. The theory of evolution says that men and apes have A COMMON ANCESTOR. It doesn't say that humans are DESCENDED from apes themselves.

A lot of folks don’t understand that.. I think the point is just to make Chrissy look like a fool. Of course most Conservatives believe in evolution, including, gasp, even many (maybe most) Christians.

For some reason, most people that don’t believe in “evolution” seem to have such a grossly simplified view of how it works that it’s just sad.

No, we are not apes (or monkeys). Millions of years ago, a common ancestor of ours (let’s call it a proto-ape) lived in some part of africa. Eventually, groups of proto-apes spread out and, while living in relative isolation from one another and facing different environmental pressures, gradually developed into incompatible species. Some of these species gradually developed traits that enabled them to reproduce much more, live healthier lifestyles, and spread out and adapt quickly to other environments. One of those species turned out to be humans, others turned out to be things like great apes, etc.

Of course it makes sense, since species classification comes directly from Darwinism. 100% of people that believe human beings are merely soulless great apes believe in evolution.

And frankly yours is a cop-out answer because it supposes men evolved from an even lesser creature than an ape.

But that's what evolution is, a cop-out on flim-flam so-called "evidence".
