This is a bit misleading. We didn't get "to this" (are present from), "from that" (chimpanzees). I hope this is not indicative of the scientific accuracy of this program.

im so happy that science has finally found evidence to prove evolution and to prove all religion wrong ha!

@MultiLuciferian Google Project Steve NCSE to see that virtually all scientists know that we evolved from non-humans. The evidence is overwhelming.

No magical, invisible sky wizard involved.

@mmslipknot444 No evilution is not real those where either monkey bones/,a lie or just people with funny bones. Hey mabey they became deformed over time. But one thing is for sure.  GOD MADE AND OWND YOUR ASS.

Well said, smoking bishop. This is an irritating tendency in science reporting, especially about anthropology.

No. That's the study of abiogenesis.

[greenodonata]

Yeah, that bugged me too. The whole "we evolved FROM so and so animal" is always like nails on a chalkboard because it contributes to the general public's false beliefs about evolution. All living animals on the planet are COUSINS. You did not evolve from your first cousin, but you and your first cousin share grandparents.

Disagree. Most Christians are comfortable with an old Earth. Only the sects that believe that the Bible is literally inerrant believe in the young age of earth. Most Catholics, CoE, and other liberal protestant sects are cool with evolution.

you shouldn't confuse operational science with historical science.

Historical (origins) science involves interpreting evidence from the past and includes the models of evolution and special creation. Recognizing that everyone has presuppositions that shape the way they interpret the evidence is an important step in realizing that historical science is not equal to operational science.
