Because we SHARED a common ancestor. We didn't evolve directly from chimps.

Because they took a different evolutionary path than we did.

@dragonbaIIer15 theirs piles and piles of evidence stacked up that we evolved from a common ancestor, and you still think your imaginary friend made us!!! ahahahha

One take I have on the "Were you there?" is that every crime which was solved through DNA (I'd expand to say science but even a zealot can understand fingerprints) would then require a witness. DNA testing is even more advanced than carbon and other radiometric dating but the faithful will allow it for forensic evidence.

My fave is the JW's who won't allow medical treatment in favor of prayer. That seems the most consistent of the faithful; you can't pick and choose for a doctor to 'play God'

@johnow7 Why cant you type god that is dumb we did not evolve from monkeys. Niether did thoose fossles.  Thoose were just people with weird bones. It is

that simple. God made you.

Some of the most educated people in history were believers in G-d. Many people who are deeply reigious believe in evolution. There is no correlation between higher eduacation and lack of belief in G-d. Stalin, Hitler and Mao did not beleive in G-d and they killed tens of millions. More than all the religious wars combined. There is no correlation between being non religious and pacifism.
