[In response to a comment trying to explain that modern apes and humans are separate branches of the evolutionary tree}
So you believe that we were tree branches at one time.This took place millions of years after nothing exploded,and it made everything.

"So you believe that we were tree branches at one time."
If you go back far enough, all life evolved from simple one-celled organisms. No one has implied humans evolved from trees, except for you.
"This took place millions of years after nothing exploded,and it made everything."
First off, your understanding of the Big Bang Theory is wrong, and just laughable. Also it makes more sense than saying we were made from dust, clay, and magic from some imaginary sky daddy.
So you believe that we were tree branches at one time
First, no one "believes" evolutionary theory, the accept it as the most plausible explanation.
Second, Which is it? Are you so stupid that you think thats is what evolution entails; or, are you so ignorant that you just accept whatever bullshit you have been feed as unassailible truth with fault or failure; or third, you are simply jkust lying for jesus??
.This took place millions of years
Billions, not millions.
after nothing exploded,and it made everything
Here we go again... Big Bang cosmology and evolutionary theory have nothing what so ever to do with each other. No one, Not. One. Single.Person. Those who know even the basics of Big Bang cosmology do not think for a second that it had any thing to do with "nothing exploding". BB theory describes an expansion rather than an explosion, nor does it describe anything that can be called "nothing", but rather a singularity which contained all the matter/energy found in the universe.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
- But seriously, the question is very poorly formulated. We do come from apes. Just not any modern type of ape.
Of course, this is even more wrong when you consider that humans and apes aren't even different "branches". The common ancestor of gorillas and chimpanzees is also the common ancestor of gorillas and humans; the split in the ancestry of humans and chimpanzees is more recent than the split between their shared ancestor and that of gorillas (which is more recent than the split between the above and the common ancestor of all of the above plus orangutans, and so on). We're pretty dramatically different from our closest relatives in some important ways, but in terms of evolutionary history we're a recent "bud" on a well-populated "branch".
Fundies think that all they have to do is "prove" the existence of God and evolution crumbles. That's why they keep bringing up the Big Bang and abiogenesis. Their "logic" goes
> The Big Bang is impossible,
> so the universe must have been created by God
> therefore, God exists,
> therefore we aren't descended from nonhuman ancestors".
Actually, it's only the creationists who insist that everything came from nothing (by magic).
No, actually we believe what you believe.
The most powerful being imaginable was just there, he said a word and then there was everything.
Which is of course, much more plausible
Actually, humans are related to trees. You see, .....
Aw, shit, never mind.

Hey, it's more believable than some magical skydaddy thinking everything into existence.
Explaining evolution or the Big Bang to someone as close-minded as this guy is like arguing with a rock, except you can throw the rock in a lake without getting arrested.
Yes, these people are that fucking thick!
It's much scarier when you realize that they can vote, reproduce, and frequently carry a firearm.
"So you believe that we were tree branches at one time."
Hahahahaha. For as stupid as they are, they are excellent comic relief.

Yeah, you pretty much have to TRY to get that stupid .

In the Internet, no one knows you're a dog. In fact, dogs and networking are heavily interrelated! Buy a poodle for home networks! If you maintain military/law-enforcement networks, you need a German Shepherd.
See? If you don't understand the original point, you'll just get more confused when time goes on.
What is, "deliberate stupidity?"
I'll take "Creationist Strawmen" for 1000, Alex.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
