Yes, I thought that was what you were getting at.

That is why I said that making a monkey walk was a neat trick.

I don't by into Darwin all the way, and I can't accept the Biblical version, so I have my own idea.

The possibility that God had a hand in it, I cannot deny or prove. It also could have been a event or another space traveling species that was experimenting.

I can accept that.

I never could see how that monkey went from all fours to Ozzie Osborn.
